I’ve never seen anything like this. This is the New Orleans airport. The line begins far before I started filming. Everyone around me is expecting to miss their flights. All because Congress can’t figure out how to do its job.


germany punished itself after the war by building some of the ugliest city centers in the world

🇺🇸 NEW POLL: 75% of Americans say Pete Hegseth should be removed from office.

Another Horn on Newsom’s Cap Well, add another jewel to the governor’s growing crown of “unexpected achievements.” Apple is packing its bags and heading to Texas. At this point, California’s business climate isn’t a climate — it’s a natural disaster. And Apple isn’t exactly the first one out the door. The exit line looks like the queue at Disneyland, except everyone’s running away: - Tesla, Oracle, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Chevron, Charles Schwab, Palantir — all gone or going. - Chevron: HQ to Texas, leaving a forwarding address for nostalgia. - Phillips 66: Shutting down its 139 kbpd LA refinery. - Valero: Planning to end refining in Benicia by April 2026. - ExxonMobil & Shell: Sold off 23,000 wells like they were clearing out a garage. - Aera Energy: Still here, but only after being restructured like a mid-season TV show that lost its audience. At this rate, the last one to leave California should turn off the lights — assuming Sacramento hasn’t regulated electricity out of existence by then. Honestly, who needs an Iranian attack when Sacramento and city Democrats are already doing a world‑class job dismantling the state from the inside. Efficiency at last. And what’s Newsom’s response to Apple’s departure? According to reports, he immediately ordered his team to craft a spin strategy. Of course he did. Another episode of “Blame Literally Anyone Else” is already in production. Instead of looking in the mirror and asking, “What am I doing wrong?” He reached for his hair gel like it was the nuclear football. Because in California politics, the priority list is simple: 1. Optics 2. Optics 3. And if there’s time left, more optics.


Y'all remember when AT&T was Cingular?
