Love economics and sailing. Probably love the economics of sailing as well. If I was capable of shutting up I would have done so already

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

Mr. Mask, you are confused. the only creatures in bunny suits threatening field workers would be actual bunnies. to charge actual bunnies with wearing "bunny suits" is redundant.

LOL. You all think field workers and meat plant workers and hotel maids are OVERPAID in America and we should bring in 50 million migrants to lower their wages. Shame on you.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

At the UN General Assembly, Volodymyr Zelensky defends strikes on Russia as necessary 'not to die'
Speaking at the United Nations on Wednesday, the Ukrainian president ruled out, as did Moscow, any moratorium on attacks targeting energy infrastructure. Aware that 'winter could be very harsh,' he nonetheless called for de-escalation measures.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

1. In American politics, the simplest explanation is probably the best. Why are some Republicans suddenly and conspicuously breaking from Donald Trump? Not just any Republicans, but ruby-red Republicans, in ruby-red states, in the span of days? The answer is probably diesel.

These are two of the least liked guys in Texas. "You don't like Ken Paxton. Why is Elon Musk supporting him?" seems like an easy sell to a majority of Texans. Talarico and the national Ds should make noise about this.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.
One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mistake.”

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

Diesel new highs, China crude making new record premiums vs Brent, backwardation accelerating, tanker rates exploding. All of this suggests the crude market is tightening rapidly because China has stopped relying on strategic draws. Much more impt than the US SPR if it sustains.

The Federal Aviation Administration. That’s what I’m thinking about today, the quiet and consummate professionalism of the FAA employees who called a ground stop, then shut down US airspace & then worked quickly & efficiently to assist pilots in safely finding airports to land. The FAA did its job.
