The most expensive taco ever made may cost in excess of 37 billion dollars, and we’ll all have to pay for part of it, one way or another.

If there is any justice in the universe Chef Andrés and World Central Kitchen will win the the Nobel Peace Prize this year.

Elon has been melting down and raging nonstop since his interview with The Economist and Chef Andres is one of the best and kindest humans on planet earth.

The ghost of Henry Ford II must be smiling, since his name will no longer be linked to the biggest automotive flop in the history of the industry.

Not every INCEL owns a Cybertruck, but everyone who owns a Cybertruck is an INCEL.

Why, oh why is there no media pushback on Trump’s excuse of forced labor to impose tariffs, while at the same time the US has 800,000 or more incarcerated prisoners working in forced labor? Why has no one (except me) seemingly pointed out this hypocrisy?

If you can't repair it yourself, have someone other than a dealer repair it, all your driving data is available and can be sold to third parties, and a "kill switch" is embedded in the software to shut it down at any time, do you really "own" your car?

You know what really bugs me? We cant own anything. Everything is a subscription....like literally everything. You cant buy Microsoft Office. You have to purchase a subscription for a year. You literally have to pay for everything FOREVER Isn't anyone else bothered by this.

Animal behaviorists can study how much stress animals will withstand before they stop breeding. We’re mammals. Birth rates are steadily declining. Multiple factors are involved and compounding. Does that suggest something?

I suspect someone if RFK Jrs HHS may sometime in the near future say we should simply allow the cyclospora outbreak to “run its course”. This would follow to two point strategy HHS seems to be following with disease outbreaks. 1st-do nothing to stop it. 2nd-do nothing to prevent it.

I would love to see a Banksy painting on the tarps outside the Kennedy Center. Not likely, or even possible, but I can dream.

Trump’s new tariffs are being justified over concerns about “forced labor”. The US has roughly 800,000 prisoners performing labor, some with no pay, some paid pennies per hour. This forced labor contributes billions to the US economy. Let he who is without sin… www.epi.org/publication/...

So Trump is now pushing FIFA’s Gianni Infantino for UN Secretary General. If the man ever stands in front of the General Assembly or Security Council, having nations hold up red cards in protest would be a wonderful sight to see.

The scam Elon Musk ran with SpaceX IPO has a specific name. It’s called a “rug pull. The scam was abetted by NASDAQ, who fast tracked the stock into the NASDAQ 100, essentially forcing mutual funds investing in the index to buy it. A captive audience of buyers to facilitate the scam.

A fool and their money are quickly parted.

When Hegseth said Iranian military was decimated, he might be correct, in the original sense of the word. When Romans decimated their units, they killed one soldier in ten. That would mean the US destroyed 10% of the Iranian military capability. Which means 90% is still effective. Yep.

I hope Trump’s name and likeness are treated like some of the Egyptian pharaohs of old. Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen/Pharaoh Hapshepsut would be two who serve as examples how his name and likeness could be treated. It’s called damnatio memoriae.

Blanche shouldn’t be confirmed. He should be fired, disbarred & prosecuted for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Then sued civilly by every victim outed in the file release. But instead, he’ll only be confirmed by the Senate, and likely out more victims. www.youtube.com/live/bHkKL11...

So the military is firing women, gays, trans people and black men with razor bumps. But they’re going to provide gender affirming care to white males the consider “warfighters”. Is that about right?

It is amazing how the Antifa/socialist/terrorist conspirators were able to sneak into the reflecting pool as it was being drained & repair the 350 foot slash in the pool lining in such a way that there is no visible evidence the cut ever existed. Clever, nefarious folk, for sure.

Some reporter needs to respond that Desert Storm lasted 43 days.

COLLINS: The US is bombing Iran again. You've been bombing Iran for months now. Is this just the new normal for the American people TRUMP: Well, we were in Vietnam for 19 years. We're here for four months.

Why is there a new story headline every day that says: “Trump uses (insert person, thing or event) to push for passage of the SAVE Act”? Every story is based on some BS reason he gives, includes some recitation about the filibuster, and how it’s unlikely to pass the senate. It’s not news.
