This is modern conservatism in a nutshell -- it's OK if Americans have to pay a lot for this stupid war of choice, because the people that Americans hate will have to pay even more. No amount of suffering is bad as long as we know someone else is suffering worse.

With AI, we're in the middle of the greatest technological transformation of our lifetimes. My new plan: a tax on AI companies that funds new jobs — so the unemployment rate does not rise. Progress should benefit everyone, not just a few billionaires.

Alan Dershowitz on Epstein & Ghislaine: "There was no sex trafficking ring...They said he’s a pedophile because he had sex with a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old. That would mean he was a pedophile in Florida, but not in England." He then says Epstein's a "3 or 4" on a scale of 10 for sex offenders.
