Apparently, San Jose leaders thought ripping up the main downtown thoroughfare in the middle of the World Cup wasn’t enough to harm local merchants. So now they plan to punish people for daring to park. 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.mercurynews.com/2026/06/20/d...

Yall, I *finally* found a use for AI: I asked Gemini what James Booker song goes “oowa oowa oowaa,” and it suggested I was looking for this! Been troubling me since about 1990. m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1pQ...

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

College reunion time. Look a bit different than when I first came to this town. Amazingly, my son is the same age I was then.

Sean Duffy’s reality series is getting slammed for all of the obvious reasons, but don’t look past the fact that his show is being sponsored by companies his department oversees and regulates. In other words, it’s not just a political mess, it’s also an ethical one. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Sean Duffy’s return to reality programming isn’t just a political mess; it also raises unavoidable ethical questions.

This is pretty much the last redoubt. I started weaning off the Cesspool Formerly Known as Twitter once Botha Boy unleashed the maggots. I now find myself increasing unable to stomach putting money into ZucKKK’s pocket. This platform has disappointed, but it seems to be all we got.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright outlines nine pillars for “American energy dominance” including nuclear expansion, grid strengthening, and critical minerals development. Amazingly, the team he needs to deliver it were told to take early retirement or they would be part of a reduction in force.

The premise of all the concern over pediatric transgender medicine is that it's being given too quickly to too many children, and I continue to find it odd that every scrap of evidence I can find suggests that this isn't happening and never was.

Every business owner should do this. Make Trump own it. He expects biz owners to weather the backlash on his behalf because he thinks Americans works for him and not the other way around.

Bessent is really awkward in press conferences and I think it’s because you can’t lie with this frequency and density on Wall Street and not risk fines, lawsuits, or prison.

Dem leaders and operatives saying “focus on pocketbook issues,” completely miss that due process *is* a pocketbook issue. Tourists, students, investors, citizens all depend on rule of law. Just because lawlessness is state-sponsored, doesn’t mean it ain’t crime, and crime is bad for the economy.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.
