Yeah, I was stoked to see it from the air!

Totally get that. It’s the people who close the blinds on the north side of the plane at 5:00 pm when flying over Greenland for the first time in my life. Like, “why?”

The war on Harvard, Columbia, and higher ed in general makes sense when you realize their goal is dismantling liberal democracy. Nothing short of 100% fealty will ever placate these mobsters. America is teetering on the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

It’s been this way for as long as I’ve lived here. Farmers & ranchers soak in subsidies, dirt cheap leases of fed/state land, benefit from massive infrastructure (highways, dams, cheap power, etc.), pay immigrants next to nothing, then vote to screw everyone else.

Ha! Fortunately, all these peeps have been in the NW for a long time. But true: the highest point in the county I grew up in was a nearly imperceptible rise on a country road surrounded by corn and soybean fields…

For my Boise peeps: hosting a 2-3 day reunion later this year of old Midwest friends now strewn about the NW. it’s our 5th and 1st in Boise. We’ve rented the entire Heritage House on Idaho. Q’s: what would be your “must-do’s?” What is your favorite Idaho wine, beer, DT experience? Have thoughts but…

“Crashing our markets and bringing down the global economy is necessary and something we have to go through” is something no conservative ever uttered until a few short weeks ago. Now they’re lining up at the cliff’s edge like lemmings. This is psychosis.

How many American principles have been violated here: free speech and expression, in the U.S. legally, violated no laws, detained in defiance of court order, detained without due process, denied legal representation. This is and should be impeachable. Trump & his cronies are anti-American fascists.

Then “export” back into the U.S. it’s an imaginary trade deficit. Tariffs will drive up the cost of “U.S” vehicles and hurt Detroit companies.

“Shares of the Big Three U.S. automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis — all sank after Mr. Trump announced the new tariffs.” Just spitballing, but maybe its because places like Mexico have no brands but serve as low-wage hosts for companies like GM, etc. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

It’s nice to see deep red citizens voicing opposition, but hard not to view it as other than self interest when you get quotes like this one, from the NE farmer who’s a-okay with everyone else losing jobs and services, as long as he’s subsidized in the end. us1.campaign-archive.com?e=972e728e83

Besides famously fixed his salary at Amazon at $80k a year while becoming the richest man on earth. (Even then, there were years he paid no income tax). The real problem is our adamant refusal to tax wealth.
