Put a hinged cover over the bed, and they’ve resurrected the Ford Taurus.
The bumper says 'rugged working man'.

But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’.

Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

I recently participated in a group visiting Estonia for its Song Festival last July. The group was mostly VC and CEOs (full disclosure: I am neither). One of the many takeaways I got from being a fly on the wall was that Estonia is dead serious about investing its defense industry.

So, inflation is being reported as higher even though the last guy to report higher inflation was immediately fired.

How much higher is our actual inflation??

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Let’s not pretend that there’s no difference between working for a Saudi-funded, Saudi-branded event and working for anything in which the Saudi government has invested.

The fact that she then accuses the critics of racism is just embarrassing.

Would the outrage still be “phony” if he’d performed in North Korea? Where does he draw the line? So many questions.

Putin’s stage show goes on

The same FSO staffers keep playing “grateful citizens” year after year — sometimes factory workers, sometimes fishermen, sometimes “heroes of the war.”

At this point, it wouldn’t even be surprising if 5–6 second-rate actors had been swapping turns playing Putin himself

We need to listen to our own advice. Putin does not heed warnings. If we are to deter these provocations, we must exact a price for them.
