DANA PERINO NAILS THE REAL REASON Abdul El-Sayed bombed on Jesse Watters' show.

In Texas it would be said that he's all hat, no cattle. (The same can be said for James Talarico.)
JELLY ROLL DARES TRUMP FANS to stop listening after playing court jester for Jimmy Kimmel.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Minnesota State Mankato set to lay off employees and raise tuition.

Lay off faculty and students. Makes all kind of sense....
MONORAIL! Is Austin [TX] seeking another rail boondoggle? Seriously?

Texas is a great state, but Austin? Her sister cities in the U.S. should be Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SUPRISE: The most powerful special interests in America are not corporations. They’re public-sector unions.

And clearly the costliest to the taxpayer....
OBVIOUSLY NOT: Are there any working-class people in the Democratic Socialists?

Judging from what I'm seeing in the Democrat's political arena, most are nepo babies cosplaying as 'working class' while being supported by family wealth/connections.
SPEAKING THE TRUTH: Trump’s enemies just fight what Trump does for the sake of fighting Trump.

Now they're infiltrating your computer monitors....
WHY ENJOYING A FOOTBALL GAME is no longer an option.

I may watch the game or two allowed my streaming service, but that's it. I'm not paying more to watch games serviced by other providers.
GOOD. Major airport scraps Islamic footwashing station plan.

Public facilities are for the public; not some favored subset of the public.
THE WNBA just created a bigger problem with Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White.

They failed (again) to answer the obvious question: "What is a woman?"
WASHINGTON’S SPENDING ADDICTION is pushing America toward a fiscal reckoning.

No surprise there; it's been going on almost my entire lifetime. Here it is, in a single chart, from 1945 until 1Q 2026.
It leveled off a bit during the Clinton presidency, mostly due to the influence of the Republican House under Newt Gingrich's Speakership, then started accelerating again under the Bush administration, faster under Obama, and then maintained the pace under Trump I, Biden, and now under the first half of Trump II.
Of more interest to me is the ratio of debt to Gross National Product (GNP) pictured above. The initial spike is the post-WWII debt. The minimum was about 25% in 1975, then climbing steadily, but more or less in sync with the Gross National Product until 2013 when it crossed the line and became the larger of the two.

So now what? Here are two scenarios.

We're screwed. No, not really; it's our children and grandchildren and ... that are screwed.
[SEN.] PENCIL NECK [D(umb)-CA] LOSES AGAIN: Attack on Trump’s DC IndyCar race backfires.

Freedom 250 was funded by the Penske Corporation (owner of the Team Penske racing organization) and brought thousands of fans (with money to spend) to the Washington DC metro area.

Go back to California, loser.
THE WNBA IS A PSYOP designed to convince normals that black women and lesbians hate America.

MEN HAVEN'T ABANDONED THE WORKPLACE; they've abandoned the 'woke'place.

I did. Or more accurately, it abandoned me.
TRUMP'S MESSAGING ON THE MULLAHS could be as powerful as a GBU-57. Maybe more so.

Leaflets by the ton over Tehran, perhaps? Get the American/Israeli propagandists on it.

American bureaucrats can sure as hell gum up the works -- maybe there are (non-Islamist) Iranian bureaucrats who can do the same.

MARCO RUBIO'S perfect weekend.

And streaming has ruined it for me, simply because where I live there is no over-the-air television. To see what I would see on over-the-air television on the 4 major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX) would require me to pay for at least two, probably three, maybe four, streaming services.
[VIP] THERE'S SCIENCE, and then there's 'ScienceTM'.
HMM:ACT BLUE’S CO-FOUNDER takes the Fifth.

The Left pushes the law to the very edge of the cliff and teeters on the very edge -- until someone pushes them over.

BERNIE AND AOC WANT MEDICARE FOR ALL, so CostCo is going to provide it.

I'd much rather pay CostCo than Bernie and AOC -- much, much cheaper. And better service.
MORE SCARE TACTICS, MORE CONTROL: Popular daily drinking habit could nearly triple risk of deadly cancer.

More evidence -- assuming that's needed -- that 'public health' is a scam.
I'M NOT THE LEAST BIT SURPRISED: Government targets Seattle group for cleaning up drug gear the government handed out.

Reason? Government robots don't like to be shown up or embarrassed.
[VIP] NO, THEY'RE ABOUT MAINTAINING PROBLEMS: Democrats aren't about solving problems.
But why? Isn’t the answer obvious? Democrats aren't interested in solving problems. They're interested in exploiting them. They find a grievance, invent a villain to pin it on, and ride the outrage all the way to Election Day. Their solutions, when they bother to offer any, either accomplish nothing or make the underlying problem worse, just like Obamacare did to health insurance costs.

That's the endless cycle. Manufacture the crisis, blame the other side, promise a fix that never comes, and repeat. All this actually accomplishes is keeping the base engaged and the donations flowing, all with the goal of keeping Democrats in power without ever having to deliver anything real.
You don't maintain control by solving problems....
TO ASK THE QUESTION IS TO ANSWER IT: Why is the University of Michigan hiding grades?

The longer it takes for students to fail, the more money in the university coffers.

SOCIALISTS NOW SAY that shoplifting is A-OK.

All it takes is a liberal redefinition or two and shoplifting is legal theft.

AN ALARMING STATISTIC about Generation Z (13-29 age group): screen time.
Researchers identified the pandemic as a turning point. Their report notes that young people spent more time at home and away from friends and activities, while remote learning placed students in front of computers for hours. Importantly, the study's screen-time figures excluded the additional hours spent doing classes and homework online.
My own takeaway is that the COVID pandemic just 'hurried up' a longer term trend.
THIS SHOULD GET INTERESTING: The GOP has a nasty little surprise planned for Democrats (and the DSA) this September.
PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT'S TOO HIGH A PRICE: Windows 11, Microsoft Office and more are on sale, starting at $12.

The African American History museum was obviously 'woke' even then. The American Indian museum was so outrageously bad we didn't even bother to go past the first couple of exhibits.

And this was 20-plus years ago. I can only imagine how much worse it has gotten.

TILTING AT WINDMILLS: Life in the bubble.
[The bubble represents] the apotheosis of what the managerial/academic/journo class desires: An excuse for sweeping power, based on (alleged) expertise, in which they could ride roughshod over those stupid proles and flyover people while preening about the allegedly superior moral and intellectual qualities that justify their rule.
Cliff's Notes Version: Experts aren't.
UNLICENSED PUNDITRY: Money for nothing and your chicks for free. Two key paragraphs:
[T]he American Revolution was not fundamentally a contest between competing economic systems.It was a rejection of hereditary privilege and centralized authority in favor of government by consent, individual liberty, equality before the law, and the principle that rights belong to people by nature rather than by permission of the state.

Once you vote for any form of collectivism, any future votes are simply performative because your first vote was to give control of your life over to people who never had any intention of giving it back. There has never been a case of any nation, state, or subdivision of either that turned to collectivism that said, “You know what, this sucks, let’s vote to end it and go back to capitalism.”
