Oh what's even worse was the the GOP pundit class had their social shaming network try to browbeat actual people talking about how not-affordable their lives have become that doing so feeds into the leftist narrative.
BITCH I'm not shutting up to save face or win elections.

From Christmas Eve 2024 through the last week, I have written 20 letters to my future wife. More will be written, though I hope it many before I meet her.
In your kindness, say a pray for whomever she may be.

OpenAI has an operating loss of roughly $13.5 billion when including stock-based compensation.
Are we really supposed to believe Sam Altman that the IPO was delayed for safety?
Exclusive: OpenAI grew revenue by roughly 50% to $10 billion from the second to the third quarter, but continued to report heavy operating losses, showing mixed results in its effort to catch up with industry leader Anthropic on.wsj.com/48eQrWv

The flag is folded 13 times (2 lengthwise + 11 triangular) for a compact triangle resembling a Revolutionary War tricorne hat, with only the blue field of stars showing. This practical, dignified method predates the symbolic list and is not required by the Flag Code or military regs.
The popular meanings are a later custom often recited when families request it:
1. Life
2. Eternal life
3. Honor to the veteran
4. Trust in God
5. Tribute to country
6. Where our hearts lie (Pledge)
7. Armed Forces
8. Mother / valley of the shadow
9. Womanhood
10. Father
11. Hebrew tradition (King David/Solomon)
12. Christian emblem of eternity
13. “In God We Trust”

I already took a jab at this, but we're not talking enough about how terminal this problem is.
The number one path to success for the Republican Party is to have an economic message people believe.
These are just cult catechisms 👇

An Eagle Pass Democrat wants federal agents in Texas to show their faces or face a misdemeanor.
Rep. Eddie Morales filed HB 410 on day one. Law enforcement on duty, federal agents included, would face a Class C misdemeanor for knowingly covering their faces outside a short list of exceptions. In some cases, people could sue.
His other bill, HB 111, would bar state and local governments from agreeing to build border barriers on Texas state park land.
Morales represents a border town. His first priorities are unmasking the agents working that border and keeping the wall off state land.
That's the new Democrat Texas House, and the session hasn't even started.

Personally I’m just glad he’s experiencing multiple chains of outsourced overseas customer service
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.

New White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is looking to bring young men and working-class voters back to the MAGA movement after Republicans lost ground with these groups in the midterms.
According to Axios, Miller wants the administration to put more focus on the issues that helped Trump build his coalition in 2024.
Affordability, lower drug prices and reducing government bureaucracy are among the priorities.

everyone say happy 8th birthday to E3, who continues to be very smol and petite (yet has a huge personality)

When a political party openly adopts an ideology with a baseline of anti-nationalism and "Stolen land" doctrine, it's leaders are obviously not going to take actions in that nation's best interest. To the contrary, they would want a sense of "global democracy". ✊️🌊

Hey, guess who has the cover article on the new Spectator World? Ark's own Peach Keenan--and her piece is a doozy of cultural criticism, as always.

🤔The grading system wasn't always standardized. Schools experimented with different scales, and what eventually became familiar was the result of decades of changes not one documented nationwide decision to eliminate E.
For our Theory research, this is an interesting example of how an institutional convention can become so universal that generations stop questioning its origins. But the historical record doesn't establish a hidden purpose behind the change.
The bigger question: Why did American education settle on a grading system that reduces student achievement to five categories and how much does that system actually tell us about what someone has learned?
