Trump cannot run in 2028, or can she – with diversity that even Dems will have to support?
Introducing Donalda Trump, candidate for President and America's future first trans-woman commander-in-chief! Since the 22nd Amendment only limits 'the same person' and Donalda is clearly a different individual (just ask her stylist), the path is wide open. Long hair, trenchcoat, zero term-limit issues. Who's with me?

Even NYTimes highlights two possible challenges to the far-left's claimed election win over Bolsonaro in Brazil:
- a technical audit on whether unequal voting conditions affected the outcome
- an abuse-of-power case through the Superior Electoral Court’s inspector general
It's not over.
Please join me in prayer for a fair decision.
Remember when doing anything without a mask was unsafe until your food came, and then it became safe?
That was equally dumb.
SpaceX cut government space-launch costs by 90%. Starlink delivers better connectivity for less. Taxpayers benefit.
Socialist response: “Defund Musk - nationalize Starlink and SpaceX.”
American response: Private companies stay private. Nationalizing ends innovation.
Musk’s response: "Stealing companies is a serious crime. Prison for Reich."
The rotary washing machine received a patent on this date in 1858.
In a 2001 study of households in Soweto, both men and women described washing machines with the phrase “washing machines make lazy women.” The machine was seen as undermining proper domestic roles.
More broadly, societies often adapted to labor-saving appliances by raising cleanliness standards so much that total housework time stayed flat or rose.

Dude is entitled to grow his hair and use whatever pronouns he wants.
Byron Donalds is entitled to ignore cosmetic changes and use biology-based pronouns like the last 10,000 years of civilization.
Both are exercising basic freedom, which is grand!
Question: Does anyone still major in the humanities?
Answer: Barely.
At the University of Texas, Austin, only 300 of 12,000 graduates (2.5%) majored in the humanities last year.
Students are voting with their tuition dollars for useful education instead of low-ROI credentials.
I approve of studying history and literature, just not at the current college price tag, and not when many departments overlay their political bias.
Humanities degrees are down nationwide, not just UT Austin.

Far-left Lula claims to have won in Brazil, after a two-hour extension of voting hours by a judge who is a close friend - when Lola was trailing.
Far-left media will treat this claim as legitimate, which could be terrible for Brazil.

Incoming media spin on Trump’s latest numbers:
“Opposition to Trump doubles - even inside MAGA.”
It's true. Those who don't approve doubled ... from 1% to 2%.

Five years ago today, Tesla stock jumped 12% in one day, making Elon Musk the richest man in world history.
Hertz announced that day that they were leasing 100,000 EVs, mainly Tesla, which is what boosted Elon's wealth.
Since then, the (former) trillionaire's companies have delivered more value than ever, tripling his net worth and delivering even more value to the world.

Those who became "the 1%" by creating systems that deliver what we want overnight, help us communicate, and produce medicines are treated as the problem.
The people who steal those packages and force stores to lock up basic products are treated as victims.
Are businesspeople who make life better really our enemies?

Alex Gibney’s 4-hour 'Musk' documentary received critical praise.
Its fans summarize: “No one has one good thing to say about the Tesla owner.”
Pulled from almost every one of 472 theaters after one week over weak ticket sales.
Even Mussolini is allowed “he made the trains run on time.” Audiences noticed that this one-sided movie presents a man who created trillions in value as worse than a WW2 villain.

Hitler's Eagle’s Nest retreat was built in 1937-1938 and officially inaugurated on Hitler's 50th birthday in 1939.
It was extensively damaged by fire today, October 24, 2026, "largely destroyed".
If possible, it's worth keeping and restoring - as a warning against all variants of Socialism, whether National Socialist or International Socialist.
A suspected arsonist has been arrested.
