@ThomasSowell Simple.
Repeal the 16th Amendment.
We started a revolution against the most powerful govt in the world for a 2% tea tax.
To-date, some of us work until June JUST to pay the federal govt their share of our paycheck. Enough.
Stop the steal from We The People.

@elonmusk When I see people pushing "strollers" around town w/ dogs or gawd forbid cats sitting there, I just feel, not judgmental against them, but sorry for them & for our country that they believe these pets are their children -- and somehow they're equal to those of us w/ actual kids.

@BasedMikeLee The CIA should not be involved in ANY domestic issues in America (save for secondment proj's). They are a foreign-facing org, and @realDonaldTrump should ensure that his admin is correcting this overreach and abuse of their original remit under the National Security Act of 1947.

Shocked but not surprised.
Cray to be sure, though. You have to love constitutional law (and who doesn't?):
"all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof."

@HarmeetKDhillon haven't had a good excuse to use "high dudgeon" in a long while. love it ... and it's not even an affectation.

Dems exhibited Real Housewives-level-drama at this briefing by clutching their pearls and storming out in high dudgeon. It was stunning…. I thought they wanted to get at the truth?
Gunther Eagleman™@GuntherEagleman
HOLY CRAP! James Comer said that Democrats didn't ask a SINGLE SUBSTANTIATIVE QUESTION to Pam Bondi or any of the DOJ officials who appeared for the briefing. "They did not ask any questions... does it LOOK like there's a cover up?" The political charade is crumbling and they can't slow it down.

Well @Grok thought about this for a whopping 9 seconds and gave a trenchant, thoughtful response:
* "(FatScribe's) post defends a prior suggestion of using The Boring Company's tunnel technology for the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over California's 101 Freeway, citing global examples like underpasses in Banff National Park, Canada, which cost under $1 million each and effectively reconnect habitats for species like mountain lions, per a 2019 study in Ecology and Society.
* It highlights the project's escalation from a $92 million budget to $114 million with delays, attributing overruns to over-engineering for sparse wildlife traffic—primarily 1-2 tracked mountain lions annually—while an existing underpass 0.25 miles away already facilitates safe crossings, as documented by National Park Service collar data.
* FatScribe's reply underscores tunnels' cost-efficiency (e.g., Boring Company's Vegas Loop at ~$50 million per mile vs. bridges' $100+ million) and challenges the bridge's necessity, betting via Kalshi that lions will continue using the underpass, reflecting broader critiques of environmental infrastructure amid California's $68 billion transportation backlog.

@elonmusk So far Grok is the most based AI tool

such comity.
this was a quick exemplar, not to scale; even a half-curious person would see these tunnel animal crossings exist around the globe & are far cheaper than grossly over-built (and scandalously plagued with cost overruns/delays) bridges.
btw, no large herds in our area (smattering of deer in small groups). this was built for one or two mountain lions to cross the 101 fwy safely -- and the mountain lions have been going under the fwy using the underpass safely for decades (as tracked by the parks services w/ collars) which is literally 1/4 mile away (which i'd bet
@kalshi money that they'll continue to use w/ aplomb.

@FatScribe @SecDuffy @GavinNewsom @elonmusk @boringcompany Are you stupid? Than tunnel is not nearly wide enough.

@SecDuffy @GavinNewsom @elonmusk @boringcompany .Grok has calculated this could cost around $10million (at most) for this project. With hard costs, like moving equipment, time, PM SME's, etc., even at $25 million it would have been a bargain.

@Interior This lovely granite promontory in the Black Hills w/ fireworks galore is missing one thing, but will soon be corrected, the visage of our 45th and 47th president, viz., Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
English
Fireworks will once again light the sky above Mount Rushmore National Memorial on July 3, 2026, as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Set against the iconic carvings of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, the celebration invites Americans to reflect on our nation’s remarkable journey and the leaders who helped shape it.
Public tickets will be available through a lottery from April 8–12. Learn more: recreation.gov/ticket/facilit…

15 mins from Pepperdine. Grew up here. I can remember when this was first proposed and I (the mean conservative) was not very gracious about the idea of spending other people's money on an expensive "bridge" when we could have @elonmusk @boringcompany plow rather inexpensively under for the same "animal cross" (whose efficacy is still suspect).
Myopia.

Roberts, the perfect blend of the realpolitik with the navel-gazing of a court solipsist who stopped acting like an actual jurist examining 4-corners w/ hermeneutical precision a decade+ ago & became the court historical amanuensis whose sole concern was his place in the (dubious) pantheon of chiefs blown by winds of perception.

🚨 NOW: Chief SCOTUS Justice John Roberts on on stage COMPLAINING about the “hostility” the public feels towards activist judges OF COURSE people are upset! We elected PRESIDENT TRUMP. NOT President Boasberg—or any random Biden judge And you’re doing NOTHING to rein them in, Roberts. You’re part of the problem.

Activists in black robes cosplaying as presidents aren’t judges
They’re imposters—subverters of the constitutional order—pretending to be something they’re not
They have earned every bit of the “hostility” hardworking Americans feel toward them

notes in cursive in law school for me, totesmagotes (undergrad / grad school as well). also, from a seminary seminar (say that 3x fast) class, gleaned that by note-taking active listening is all -- we "hear", we process the data engage our minds, we "see" (our notes), we cement our understanding by lecturing/speaking with others (our poor spouses) about what we learned and the job is done.
even 25 yrs later we find ourselves pulling Latin out of nowhere about even the most arcane of subject matters. @JeffClarkUS

I got made fun of in law school for only doing handwritten notes. But I know how my own brain works.

Students who took notes by hand scored ~28% higher on conceptual questions than laptop note-takers. Writing forces your brain to process and compress ideas instead of copying them.
