Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song. But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

To reiterate, the more WindWaterSolar, the lower the electricity prices in the United States WWS dominates electricity production relative to demand in 11 states (these states supply 51-120% of their demand with WWS), and electricity prices in 10 of those 11 states are far below the U.S. average.

Big tech is not losing on their AI investment. Chat GPT, Gemini, etc. do not exist for you the consumer. They exist to learn from you. You are paying to train your replacement. Big tech's AI play is not mass commercialization. It's replacing employees; it's digital labor arbitrage.

Rule of law is a belief, a fiction that everyone in a society holds to be true and right for the benefit of civil society. Once that mutual belief is discarded by one group while in power, then other groups have no moral cause to re-establish it when they take power.

A military parade in the US is an abomination. It is the lowest point in our armed forces history since LBJ had to use the 101st to stop the AL national guard from enforcing segregation. Ending WWI and WWII? Sure, parade. Appeasing anyone's ego? Hell no.

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.
I have a trade deficit with the Chinese restaurant near my office. I buy their food but they do not buy anything From me. I've decided therefore to voluntarily pay them higher prices because it will encourage me to cook my own Chinese food.

Make no mistake, this is not "making it up" as they go along. This was planned market manipulation all along. A small circle around Trump made a lot of money. If the house flips in 2026 this should be the first thing they investigate.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
