Brooke Rollins: "Instead of eating less beef as the price continued to rise, Americans began to eat more beef. And even though the price of a pound of ground beef was $6.50, most Americans say, 'I'm good with that. I want this protein for my family.' So they continue to buy."

IMHO AI was invented and is being developed by HUMANS who could make beneficial choices for mankind but inevitably human failings such as greed, corruption, malice, jealousy, spite etc are involved + injected into the process so as much potential for good as it brings so to is the potential for evil

Oh, this is a useful set of statistics. You can use it to assess just what sort of numbers of JOBS the Government means when it says we need the data centres in Ireland for the JOBS. You’d create more employment running a small chain of centras.

His dreams have all came true: most famous person on earth, in countless millions of minds every day, pulling off a multi-billion-dollar grift in plain sight. Yet still a miserably unhappy clown. Loathed and laughed at, throwing tantrums 24/7 as he heads toward lame-duck doom.

Can't crack down on corporate polluters. That would be tyranny. Can't make sure our food safety laws are adequate. That would eat into profits. Can't regulate dangerous AI. That would be intruding on the "free market." The "party of small government," folks.

It’s easy to grow inured, but in Europe’s biggest war since WWII, Trump boasted about an energy truce that doesn’t exist in reality. Remember when the WH would be under pressure to explain how/why the president managed to get something this important so terribly wrong? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump celebrates an energy truce between Russia and Ukraine that doesn’t appear to exist
Trump boasted about a major breakthrough that did not happen. In the not-too-distant past, this would’ve been a major controversy.

The weird thing abt the Bo French scandal is while people lambaste his gutter racism, they DON'T point out his attack on UT was basically a demand that less qualified white people be admitted over Latinos and Asians -- a demand for affirmative action for white people.

Vaccines for Children is a federal program that provides shots for kids who aren’t insured. RFK Jr.’s HHS has refused to ship new COVID19 vaccines for VFC because they ask if they’re “appropriate for the populations those programs serve”. These shots protect kids from hospitalization and death.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness and Safety for the 2026-2027 Respiratory Season - PubMed
COVID-19 vaccines were consistently associated with a reduction in the risk of hospitalization and other outcomes, including among individuals at high risk of severe COVID-19, such as infants, and those who were pregnant. No new safety concerns were identified.

After insisting that Biden bore blame for an international economic crisis caused by a pandemic that unfolded on Trump's watch, Republicans are now trying to persuade voters *not* to blame Trump for a worse crisis he deliberately created through unneeded wars and tariffs. Good luck with that!

I wrote about who is actually making America “poorer and dirtier.” It’s not immigrants. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Who is responsible for this terrible state of affairs? The opposition party and immigrants, apparently. Vance went on to say, “The Democrat legacy of the last few years was that they bankrupted our country and left us poor. They left our country weaker. They left our border wide open and our communities less safe.”

But this account represents a preposterous inversion. Almost every problem Vance lists, the Trump administration has made worse.

The administration’s environmental policies have made American water and air dirtier. Its health-care, tariff, and tax policies have worsened inflation and increased the financial burden on most American households, even as incomes have grown. And its public-health policies have led to outbreaks of contagious disease.
