Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride

I introduced the first federal ban on ‘surveillance pricing’ because companies using private info to rip people off is unacceptable.

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.
As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Nothing new in this desperate attempt to punish people the 🍊💩 doesn't like. Now the DOJ goes after the federal judge who tossed the case out.
Really, this was the only way this could go but B*tch Barbie Bondi will likely try again. And will get shut down again.

I had absolutely nothing to do with the $100+ million DynaLife lab service debacle.
Except when I represented them as a lobbyist to the UCP while I was president of the Alberta Enterprise Group which they were members.

I’m not going to read more into the beef here, but it’s worth noting that a family of four making ~110k-130k qualifies for low-income housing in four counties in the Bay Area. Choosing not to build housing pushes everyone on the housing ladder deeper into rent burden and poverty.
just read some Substack post with a maybe quarter-baked argument that the "real" poverty line is $136,000. come on

Lets be very clear- Congress has not declared war, our ships have not been fired upon, our ships have illegally fired upon other marine craft killing people in abeyance of nautical law & the treaties we have witness & signed outside of the 3 mile limit...in other words this admin is murdering people
We had to
Force retire JAGs
JAGs resigned & retired
Force retire flag officers
Flag officers voluntarily retired
Ignored CIA attorneys
But we did find a contracts lawyer for the DOJ commissary that said it was perfectly legal to assault, kidnap, murder, & constitution isn't a thing
So we good

Antonelli absolutely did a remarkable job in Vegas. Kept his position for many laps against a McLaren and a Ferrari even with a 5s penalty. Impressive run by the rookie.
He may not have celebrated a podium spot, but got P3 after the McLaren planks wore out their planks too much.
Top drive!
