I think the people of North Carolina don't want a yes-man in the Senate.

Once upon a time, the U.S. looked down our nose at those adversaries that copied U.S. military technology. Now we are the ones copying other countries’ technology.

ICE/CBP have arrived in the Raleigh/Durham area where I live. Earlier today, before I learned of their arrival, I went for a walk in an upscale neighborhood that typically is abuzz with the noise of construction and lawn maintenance workers, most of them Hispanic. It was remarkably quiet today.

Anyone surprised that they just make s**t up.

No need to say more…

This is creepy…

WATCH: James Comey responds to Trump indictment in new video: "I'm not afraid."

So true…

#Tylenol #Paracetamol

Something is up…

Promise tariffs ⟶ faff around ⟶ announce tariffs ⟶ pause tariffs ⟶ promise deals ⟶ court rules tariffs illegal ⟶ appeal ⟶ court order stayed ⟶ make no deals ⟶ 90 days expires ⟶ delay tariffs again ⟶ announce tariffs again ⟶ appeals court rules tariffs illegal again ⟶ you are here

I’d caution Canadians to be on the lookout for the same type of thing.

FDA approves fall Covid shots, but with new restrictions. If you don’t qualify under the new restrictions, insurance might not cover the vaccine. Cost without insurance is approximately $40.

What happens when governments meddle with official statistics? Here's a terrific piece from the former head of Greece's statistical system, outlining just how badly it can distort economic and political life. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/o... (gift link)

Was the Air Force Chief of Staff fired because he opposed using ICBM modernization funds to pay $400M for Trump's "free" Qatari jet? Or fired because Biden appointed him?

Was my 28 years of military service all in vain?

These residents were doing essentially what I was doing yesterday with friends.

E.J. Antoni, President Trump’s nominee to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics, told Fox News Digital that the agency should suspend monthly jobs reports, a change that could leave businesses without the data they’ve used for decades.

Dr. Brian Goldman- My plea to the Canadian government: pick up the half a billion dollars in mRNA research defunded by RFK Jr. Make Canada a global player in mRNA vaccine research. #cdnpoli

"Trump also seeks political control over agencies that have long operated at arm’s length from the White House, like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Federal Reserve. That, too, has echoes of China where the bureaucracy is fully subordinate to the ruling party..." www.wsj.com/economy/the-...

makes you think

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service. Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

Heads up to the University of British Columbia, University of Saskatchewan, and mRNA researchers across Canada. RFK Jr. has just provided you an opportunity to poach talent from the U.S. after cutting off funding. Canada can become the world's leader in mRNA technology.

In April, Trump approval among men = 48% Now = 39% April, Trump approval among women = 39% Now = 35% April, Trump approval among independents = 31% Now = 21% "This is really bad news for Trump, and for Republicans who depend on independents in close elections...” www.umass.edu/news/article...

It does appear so.

Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:

These new ICE recruits should be the first ones fired under a new Democratic administration.

Guilty of saying the quiet part out loud: Privatizing Social Security.

What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story. My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. 107 Days is out on September 23. I can't wait for you to read it: kamalaharris.link/107DaysBook

Nearly a billion dollars diverted from ground-based nuclear missile upgrade program to spend on Trump's "free" gift from Qatar. The existing Air Force One upgrade is at least two years behind schedule. Is there any chance of this modification of a 747 being on time and on budge? Waste of $$$$$$$.

He cheats at everything.

ICE agents are paid bonuses for the arrests. So the federal payroll system has a record the worst of them. The next president can use the data to identify and fire the worst ICE agents out there. Former agents can then go to work as landscapers and farm workers to fill the vacancies they created.

A Canadian fisherman was 15 km off the US coast and very close to Canadian soil, when the US Coast Guard rammed his boat, capsized it, arrested him and put him in a cell for hours. This should be an international incident that ends with a rebuke of this regime. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Those South Park guys just showed us how politics is downstream of culture

The deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and Canada, prompts me to resurrect the on-again, off-again proposal of Turks and Caicos joining Canada, perhaps as a territory or as an addition to a province. It seems mutually beneficial. I'm just putting the idea out there again.

Love it!

We are just learning that we again got lucky in the most recent Iranian missile attack. Al Udeid Air Base was hit and facilities damaged or destroyed. Iranians can hit what they aim at.

Are we turning America into a big company town? You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store

The Supreme Court gave Trump immunity from prosecution, but they did not give his minions immunity. The statute of limitations for most Federal crimes is 5 years. Fired Justice Department lawyers could serve justice by collecting evidence of crimes by Trump minions for future prosecution.

Wow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass? That’s just evil and cruel.
