The same people who fought fossil fuels now fight AI. Why? “They deny the huge benefits of something and they focus exclusively on the hazards,” says @AlexEpstein. Here's our full interview on: why AI matters, the retreat from net-zero, and much more:

We need *more* community banks, not fewer! (HT @aglanceaskance 😉)

When community banks are strong, Main Street is stronger. The Main Street Capital Access Act, led by Chairman @RepFrenchHill and @RepAndyBarr, removes barriers to new bank formation and gives local lenders more flexibility to support the families, entrepreneurs, and small businesses they know best. financialservices.house.gov/…

October 19th. 2019 seven years ago today Joe Burrow broke the @LSUfootball single season TD passing record in the Tigers 36-13 win with 29 in only Game 7 of the season. He finished with an incredible 60 a record that likely will stand forever...

California’s billionaire tax was supposed to raise $100 billion. Now a new study estimates $30 billion in collections against $39 billion in lost income tax revenue. When you chase away the people paying the bills, everyone else gets stuck with the tab.

Yet another Taxpayer assisted transaction of a #CommunityBank. I assume that a Michigan credit union buying a community bank in Florida is just an expansion of serving “modest means customers with a common bond” Whats the common bond, serving wealthy Floridians? #SomethingsWrong ! One day Congress will wake up and wonder where all the tax revenues went, where all the mortgage approvals went, why small business loans stopped being made. Why not ask for hearings on if credit unions have left their mission, which i would argue they have. Come on @SenatorTimScott @SenKatieBritt , hold hearings.. #WakeUp @Alice_P_Frazier @ICBA 8th of 2026 88th in 79 months I will never be comfortable hearing about these transactions. hovdegroup.com/wp-content/up…

Thanks for the coverage @tyfone It’s important that Congress sees the real issue here, buying another community bank in Florida, has to get the question are they living to the mission of the credit union charter. I say an emphatic NO! @ICBA @SenKatieBritt @SenatorTimScott @SenTuberville @SenatorWicker @SenHydeSmith @Robert_Aderholt @RepTrentKelly @John_R_Ramage @troutguide81611 @davidapatterson @BankPres @RobertMFisher @Alice_P_Frazier tyfone.com/news/breaking-new…

Victor Davis Hanson: Rubio’s Warning About the Decline of the West Marco Rubio’s speech in Athens delivered a powerful message about the importance of defending Western civilization and preserving its legacy. Tracing the West’s roots from ancient Greece and Rome to the founding of the United States, the speech highlights the achievements of Western culture, including the rule of law, constitutional government and free-market capitalism. But with declining confidence in Western values, anti-Western ideologies and growing threats from within and abroad, the future of Western civilization is increasingly uncertain. @VDHanson
