His deal ... for rights to 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil reserves looks less like a normal commercial transaction than it does the famous scene of U.S. businessmen meeting with the Cuban strongman in “The Godfather Part II.” -- Wall Street Journal

The White House is branding gas stations and setting the price. But when the mayor of New York proposed a handful of city-run grocery stores, Republicans spent months screaming that it was communism. -- Adam Kinzinger www.adamkinzinger.com

Was never nervous when my boy was in goal, but I was completely on edge anytime he put on the whistle. (And I loved Cleats www.gocomics.com/cleats)

Here's the origin story of how I became engaged in comics commentary. And, no, he ignored my advice that it was possibly worth something.

Here's what he actually wrote: I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them. -- Ezekiel, 25:17

Eighth grade graduation exists because there was a time when that was all the education you needed. But even then, nobody passed with this stunning level of absolute ignorance.

"Reuters reported last month that Meta earns $7 billion a year just from the portion of scam ads it considers “high risk,” and that 10% of the company’s 2024 revenue ...was projected to come from ads for scams, illegal gambling and banned products." Read the rest: www.reuters.com/investigatio...

An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” But when they arrived, they had no passports, so they were sent back to Israel and the infant was killed.

British sailors rescue German sailors from the Bismarck, because failure to assist survivors after a battle is a war crime. And ordering them killed is also a war crime. Yes, even in the "Gulf of America." charliesykes.substack.com/p/the-order-...

It's the most wonderful time of the year. When I bailed out of Lee Enterprises, a bit of timing left me with a fragment of a share of their stock. Ever since, they've spent money each year to ask me how I feel about their plans, and I've sent back the proxy because it costs them $$ to process it.

When I reported at the Northern Border, Customs was eager to show us what they'd uncovered. Perhaps because they had something to show us. Doesn't anyone even collect the wreckage from these boats? Why not share what you found?

I was the census reporter at my paper in 1990, and my editor was excited to find that one little town had gained a surge in diversity since 1980. I had genuine difficulty in explaining to her that they'd opened a prison in 1983. Don't blame reporters for the stories they're assigned to write.

Having done a fair amount of research on the American Revolution, I can say that this discussion between David Frum and Ken Burns is the most enlightening, stimulating, educational thing I've even heard. Can't wait for the series to run! chrt.fm/track/B6G873...

Turner Classic is running the Commitments tomorrow night. It's very funny if you've never run a pub band. It will trigger your PTSD if you ever have. Either way, don't miss it.

It's cool that these poor chimps will be in a nice place, but I can't help imagining two dozen chimps exposed to the radiation at White Sands, and what a single radioactive spider did for Peter Parker. I think we've got the makings for a Planet of the Apes Prequel. ladailypost.com/worlds-large...
