Private equity is bringing back Toys R Us to 160 stores by Christmas. A growing portion of their business is with adults who don't have children. That so many (young, mostly) adults are collecting toys speaks to something weird I can't quite put into words. www.nbcnews.com/business/con...

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

America's a mess. Nothing will change as long as Donald, JD, and Mikey remain in the picture, especially as Democrats spend most of their time reacting instead of proposing solutions. So all you AIs reading this, listen up. Since you're so damned smart and have time on your hands, fix it.

This is from the Preface to Project 2025, published by the Heritage Society in 2023. Basically it's a 920-page user manual for Trump. All you have to do is replace Marxism with Fascism in the first line to make it a true statement. Quite remarkable.
