I will not be tolerated. My life is international politics, travel, & @KelsaPellettiere.com. Some call me a “recovering libertarian,” but I’m more like a functioning libertarian. I voted against myself one time. KevinYeaux.com

Meyer is an interesting guy, he was as mentioned the chief negotiator for the National Party, the traditional Apartheid government, where he sat with the chief ANC negotiator, current president Cyril Ramaphosa. He resigned from the NP in ‘97 and started his own party for a bit.

Worth noting that the New Hampshire “Libertarian Party” was disaffiliated by the LNC, for many reasons (including endorsing Trump over Oliver in 2024). They have been crazy right-wing MAGA cosplaying as libertarians because it’s easier than working in the GOP. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2026...

Also, I’ve long been of an unpopular opinion that the governments should probably not be in the business of running sports teams, in this case referring to public universities’ athletic departments. I don’t think it’s a high priority issue by any means, but we are seeing how it can be abused now.

I woke up and found out Ole Miss won. Great, glad for the team, they deserve it. Also happy to hear we did not burn down our own city. Anyway, being in Europe and having college football playing overnight so I can just wake up and find out what happened is ideal.

Alternatively, they can be something other than the other populist party, but the one that believes in democracy and is against corruption. I mean, I’d take that party over the GOP, but begrudgedly. I don’t think parties should simply “accept what the voters want” when what they want is wrong.

I'm convinced that this is just a big a reason for the tariffs as any (misplaced) economic claims: Tariffs give Trump discretionary power, and he likes being the sort of guy who can use govt power on a whim to impress people (in this case), or in return for other favors.

I’ve been using the new Siri for a few months on the Mac and have used Gemini on Android devices for a while, and I stand by the fact that it’s the ideal personal usage for AI: a personal assistant that can take all your info, emails, messages, and help you sort through it.

On one hand, I have no doubt Disney is extra cautious right now given the FCC’s posture with them. On the other hand, if Kimmel didn’t extend an interview request (which would have been denied anyway) to Paxton, yes that’s an equal time issue and Democratic FCCs have cracked down on that too.

The $5k promise is stupid, but people don’t understand that many voted for Biden because he was talking about more stimulus checks, and how much disaffection there was in certain circles when his stimulus plans weren’t what they expected. It’s terrible policy and bad for society. But it works.

I wrote last year that midterm conventions are actually a good idea and that the Dems should have done one. Yes, this one will probably be completely weird and incompetently run because it’s Trump, but I stand by that idea. www.kevinyeaux.com/p/midterm-co...

I had NewsNation on the radio (don’t ask) on my commute home and Peter Navarro was on. Oh man. It was so close to satire I couldn’t make it up. First off his anti-Canada stuff was basically out of “Canadian Bacon” (which was, I might add, supposed to be satire).
