Funny thing about Elizabeth Warren’s “consumer protection”: she’ll torch a merger over 9% market share, but cheer the federal government monopolizing your healthcare, your student loans, your childcare, your bank, and your housing.

Alternate Headline: "120,000 able bodies Illinoisans refuse to work, volunteer or attend school/training for 20 Hours a week"

How to start a block party in your neighborhood 1.) move in peak Covid & know nobody. 2.) have a harebrained plan that said neighborhood should hold an Oktoberfest. 3.) Inexpensively make a flyer for an Oktoberfest, go to the local print shop to make 150 of them then walk to around to 120 different homes and put it in screen door. Ask them to bring a side casserole, folding chair and drinks. 4.) then set up a folding table at said meeting place cross your fingers and hope someone shows up. 5.) five years later we hold seven block parties a year often have nearly 100 people attend and are blessed with a total of 29 little kids (and more coming) who play it tag, ride their bikes, draw with chalk, blow bubbles, ride their scooters and just be. No screens just being. 6.) We have graduated from flyers to an Evite. We've formed a text chain that alerts each other about power outages, coyote & fox sightings, and never abuse it for something frivolous. 7.) Its not that hard to build a community, or form a community around a central theme; a sense of place. All you have to do is try.  instagram.com/reel/DX4dTUXOi…

Trump's move is the perfect way to defund woke science. A clean slate lets new presidential appointees, chosen for scientific excellence rather than bureaucratic longevity, reimpose the merit-based standards the law requires. My latest in @NRO

You haven’t seen my byline much in @realdailywire lately. Here’s why: I’ve spent the last 2 months working on what might be the biggest fraud, waste & abuse find of my 20-year career. I’m back from Ohio & TOMORROW AM we publish Part 1 of a major series. Get ready to get angry.

When President Obama had Osama bin Laden killed, Americans all celebrated. But for Nithya Raman, it felt strange.

James - No sir, there is a near zero chance. The cost synergies, greater use of and capacity for fuel hedges, increased access to capital markets, lower cost of capital, plane resources, parts sourcing, labor structure, gate access, and management talent would have all created a fundamentally different airline. All there would be is a company whose employees were not out of a job, vendors who would be getting paid, and creditors not losing billions. This is a catastrophic failure of excessive state intervention and no spin will change that.

It's been fascinating to watch mainstream liberal culture slowly boil every human quality down to politics Is he the greatest guitarist of all time? "Well I can't answer that question until I see their tweets during Covid"

Looking at this headline, can you guess what the new law does? What is a "power grab" according to the Register? It says the Governor cannot use an emergency declaration to (1) shut down churches; (2) cancel elections; (3) mandate behavior *in your own home*; (4) mandate vaccines

They have both been in office for YEARS, never did a thing. Then, suddenly, 4 days before our Mayoral debate…NOW they’re doing what I’ve been calling for the whole time? They really think you’re stupid.

"You'd all be speaking German if it wasn't for me."- German teacher with low self esteem.

Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!

Virginia Tech once had a bias-reporting system expansive enough to log a report because a student overheard several men in a residence hall privately talking trash about women in a snowball fight and calling them “not athletic.” That example made it all the way into Speech First v. Sands, where Justice Thomas cited it while criticizing Virginia Tech’s bias-response regime. But now, when an event is held on campus where students are told they are “a branch of the resistance,” praised as part of the “mujahideen,” and urged to target supply chains, weapons infrastructure, and “blow up ports,” Virginia Tech suddenly wants to hide behind “not an official campus event.” So private dorm-room banter about snowballs was apparently reportable. A campus event encouraging revolutionary militancy is somehow not their problem. That is not a serious standard.

Wrote entire books about how people who believe fairies live in gardens are idiots only to fall in love with a calculator that calls him smart

It’s really important in a marriage to keep score of who completes each mundane and necessary task every day of your lives that way neither party can ever say they had to face a minor inconvenience or commit to anything. That’s what true love is about; scorekeeping.

Attention @X / @nikitabier / whoever runs the X help desk: My colleague Dan McLaughlin has had his X account (@baseballcrank) phished out from under him, and is now locked out of his account. This is the person who did it, per his records: Anyway, assistance would be greatly appreciated

Fascinating article on the SPLC indictment. Basically, they managed to make themselves a pseudo-regulatory agency that could debank anyone they deemed a hate group. So when they wanted to pay members of hate groups, they had to lie to banks, which is a crime.

*You* made those tax credits temporary. They were a COVID measure. Why do you guys never mention that?

missed this earlier. dear @patio11 with a characteristically-excellent reported history of SPLC's advocacy to shut its enemies out of public commercial life somehow nothing here surprised me but it's still breathtaking seeing the 2016-2022 behind-the-scenes laid bare do read it

This is the actual market price of illegals (who drive cars without insurance). Premiums are going up because WE are paying for their (lack of) insurance.
