Today marks 16 years since the Deepwater Horizon blow out, triggering the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
Where they drill, they spill. We must learn from this devastating disaster.

Senator Jon Ossoff neatly breaks down political corruption in America — and how Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago mafia” has exploited it.
Every single Democrat should be saying this.

Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

To avoid US taxes. Get it?
Motorhead@BradMunchen
Reuters reports that Tesla's Singapore subsidiary, which only sold 6,633 cars between 2023 & 2025, booked $18 billion of profits during that time to avoid US taxes. $18 billion is 89% of Tesla's cumulative operating income earned globally during that time. $TSLA

@ScrutonsHair @AndyBeshearKY 😆 Right. Because Kentucky is a bastion of socialism. 🤪

@AndyBeshearKY It is scary. I am scared of wolves in sheep's clothing. People who lie to gain power and then execute a Socialist agenda and help to ruin our society. Very scary.

TV News Now@TVNewsNow
🚨 NEW: Fox News’ @TomiLahren issues a WARNING about Democrats: “Beware of the ones who market themselves as ‘moderates’ because they are often the least moderate of the bunch.” “Andy Beshear is going to be someone who the left thinks as their new Joe Biden. He’s the ‘moderate guy’ - but he’s anything but. Trust me, don’t let them fool you. They don’t have to be screaming at the top of their lungs like Spartacus to be a radical.”

Trump is trying to get another $10B of taxpayer money from his lawsuit over his leaked tax records.
Now, lawmakers introduced the aptly-named Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act to stop presidents from collecting settlement money from the government.
The public shouldn't have to bankroll the President's personal scores.

@homemadehooplah The timing is calculated. But towards what exactly in this moment?

The most troubling thing about this is that they feel comfortable enough to post this insanity
No fear of obstruction, no fear of bad press, no fear of consequences
As if they believe these are not merely requests or ideas, but plans they feel will come to fruition - and soon

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

The "extinction caucus" in Congress wants to drastically weaken the Endangered Species Act and decrease protections for threatened and endangered species—including imperiled species that call Wilderness home.

🇱🇧 An Israeli Soldier Just Cooked a Meal in Someone Else's Home in Lebanon
An Israeli soldier posted photos of herself picking vegetables from a Lebanese family's garden and cooking in their kitchen, while the family is BANNED from returning.
The house still had food in the kitchen. The garden was still alive. Everything was exactly as the family left it, except the family.
Fifty-five villages in southern Lebanon remain closed to their residents. The people who planted those gardens and built those kitchens are not allowed back.
Someone else is eating their food.

Trump is itching to nuke Tehran. General Cain said no this past Saturday. Watch for him to get fired. He wants someone to do it. Once trump focuses on some shit, he can’t stop. Petey will be asked next. This is getting scary. The fire alarm is on. We are watching a train wreck.
