Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.
From CBS News: "Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died."

MAGA says they only want judges born in the US. Fine. Start with Trump’s BFF, Aileen Cannon, who was born in Cali, Colombia. Let’s see how long that rule lasts.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

diesel trades on a world market, just like corn. farmers don't sell cheaper to Americans, and refiners can't either since they buy crude at global prices. force a lower price and they'll make less diesel. less supply means higher prices, not lower.

banning diesel exports is unlikely to be successful in pushing diesel prices down aside from Gulf states, it will likely push refiners to cut production rates which could mean even higher gasoline prices as well. conventional wisdom that it’ll lower prices? it’s a trap.

"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."
