I couldn’t care much less about Thomas Massie, but the Epstein files absolutely should have been released by now. And if there was something to delay that, Trump definitely shouldn’t have had every blue checkmark Twitter supporter show up for the Epstein files photo op. I can’t think of anything...

Hamas attacks Israel. Israel tries to destroy Hamas. Hamas hides behind civilians. Israel continues. Civilians die as innocent victims when Israel continues. “Why is Israel genocidal???” Israel stops. Hamas attacks Israel. Over and over. Who can stop it? Anyone targeting Hamas will run...

NPR didn’t have much of a mask left the past few years, but they’ve been letting that little bit slip since being denied federal funding.

To be fair, the left has decades more experience at replacing news with propaganda. Give the right some time to build their infrastructure.

The issue is, the second comment is divorced from reality. If states did decide to instantly redistrict to remove some minority majority gerrymanders, then they would spread a lot of mostly Dem voters over some other districts. Those can’t all go to current Dem districts that you’re also trying...

And this reply is wild:

She’s basically arguing that DEI voting districts are necessary, which is just wild to me. On a related note, I saw someone post this comment by the Slate Reddit account:

We live in a republic, specifically so that people thought to be best suited to making decisions for the country can do so. My plan seems more in line with that than the current model.

Your first sentence is blatantly false. The rest of your first paragraph would be correct. The second paragraph answer is that your friend obviously wouldn’t vote because he isn’t a citizen.

The elderly and stay at home moms can still be net taxpayers with investment income. College students seem unlikely unless they get great summer jobs/internships. I was a net payer at 17 so 18 year olds in the workforce certainly could.

Now we’re heading for the Dolist run state from Honor Harrington.

We talked about the Boston Tea Party a lot during our weekend trip there and it brought up the whole “no taxation without representation” motto. Maybe it’s time to update it. “No representation without taxation.” If you aren’t a net tax payer, you also aren’t a voter. People who aren’t paying...

It’s such an own goal to not simply say “what those kids said was wrong.” I don’t understand what is difficult about this. It can even be used as a chance to draw more attention to the idiot in Virginia. “What those kids said was terrible and I hope they find wisdom, but it’s more concerning to...

I can assure you that a massive block of Atlanta would not feel this way.

The body scanner at Logan airport detected an “anomaly” when I went through. In my “crotch area” as the TSA lady said. The other TSA dude came over to pat me down and found no reason for it. I asked what caused it and he said it happens a lot. It was kind of awkward to have a dude patting down...

Interviewer: “So this DESC facility doesn’t come with housekeeping to help you keep up with…” FFS.

I didn’t get to go on the USS Constitution this past weekend because of the shutdown. It’s a dream of mine, I love the Age of Sail, Wooden Ships and Iron Men stuff. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for the greater good. Just gives me another reason to go back.

And if Gavin wins in 28? If more federal power over Americans is ever your answer, you need to re-read the question or redo the math.

2 strikes and you’re out. There is no reduced sentencing, there are strict and harsh minimum sentences, there is no parole or early release for good behavior, there is a mandatory 40 hour work week for all prison inmates and it’s physical labor. Whether that’s picking up trash, busting rocks...

I guess you can only buy an ounce at a time here, but they deliver. I watched one of the delivery guys stop in the Common last night but we were walking so I didn’t wait to see what the process entails. Freaking Dominos Dime Bags or Uber Weed is crazy.
