There’s never too many laugh lines. You can’t see my backbone but you can feel it. Now sings my soul. "There are no solutions, only trade-offs" - Thomas Sowell
Summary of political differences in my world: Cons are annoyed by humanity but love people. Libs love humanity, but are irritated by people
The things you sadly must include in a syllabus. "As seniors in high school, I encourage you to communicate with me. AP courses are collegiate courses; you need to be your own advocate."
This is hopeful news. I’m not talking beating your kids…I’m talking allowing consequences to run their course. We will be much better for this.
It is good to get to a place where feeling consequences for actions is normal. A simple way we do this in our house. The kids know we won’t bring them forgotten lunches. They have emergency beef jerky in their backpacks, which they don’t like as much as their lunches. They eat…
Hunter Biden and Pod Save America are taking potshots at each other. Here's the thing: They're both right. The podcast guys are right when they say Hunter is a sleazy influence peddler out to profit on his family's name. And Hunter is right when he says the podcast guys are…
🚨 HOLY SMACKDOWN! RON DESANTIS puts Dems who are obsessed with Alligator Alcatraz IN THEIR PLACE. "I've NEVER seen ONE OF YOU show up to comfort an angel mom who's lost a child because of illegal alien crime. I've NEVER seen you raise *ANY* concern about the victims of illegal…
If “education is a national priority,” why has she played such a pivotal role overseeing the biggest decline in national educational standards in my lifetime?
Randi Weingarten is raving like an unhinged lunatic. Again.
Hillary, Liz, Randi. They are of a type. And from my childhood on a type that I have always disliked.
Randi Weingarten is raving like an unhinged lunatic. Again.
🚨 BREAKING: Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, who Biden FIRED for exposing rampant DEI in the Pentagon, has just been confirmed by the Senate as Under Secretary of the Air Force WHAT A COMEBACK! 🔥 Well deserved, @matthewlohmeier! 👏
Every day there’s some headline like: “BREAKING: Taliban no longer eligible for Medicaid.”
🚨 It has now come out that American taxpayer dollars have been withdrawn from 400 medical facilities in Afghanistan under President Trump. They got entirely defunded.
And the parody of women continues…
It him acting like a two year old that is the worst part for me. He acts like a two year old bc he thinks women are two year olds and he has to act like a potato to be more “womanly”. We can see the way he disrespects us. Dude, grow up!
Young people: This is wisdom, and you should listen and think carefully about what you do and what you engage with.
We have centuries of history to help us predict how this latest wave of antisemitism will end. Antisemitism is a social contagion that always makes people violent and insane. It is a house of cards built on lies, which is why it never lasts long. As a fad, it always topples fast,…
I think it’s funny that they think this is an own. I am thrilled for them and, ironically totally not surprised. They will be just fine! 🤷🏼♀️
scoop: donations to NPR and PBS stations have exploded, with donors across the country giving in unprecedented numbers since Congress cut federal funding nytimes.com/2025/07/24/bus…
"Nobody ever said 'the Russians hacked the election!'" Except, of course, they ALL said "the Russians hacked the election" 👇
The point is that the cause is not the cause. It's not about grocery stores for someone like Mamdani. It's about tearing down Western civilization. You can't sway a Marxist with rational arguments.
Step 1 of my “conquer America” plan: 1. Make the grocery stores empty 2. ??? I don’t even know what you’re getting at.
Clinton’s looks like a double wide trailer on the Arkansas River and it still looks better than that.
The Obama library looks like a third world attempt at building a skyscraper using scrap from the dump. Wow what a hilarious eyesore
Yes, yes they did.
wait a sec did NGOs do some combination of professionalizing and crowding out of private and grassroots/community charity work in the anglosphere and effectively bring that section of society substantially under central political control as the exostate
Gawker was in the wrong in that suit and was also especially shitty and belligerent to the court, and got what it deserved.
So Hulk Hogan died. As a former Gawker writer (as are all Gawker writers thanks to Hulk Hogan), I won't be the first or the last to say 'fuck that guy.' Dance on any grave you want to, but this one's mine.
I’m preemptively crying. 🥺 Edited to add: hold up, a rumor? Anyway, Still gonna cry. Rough week.
Phil Collins is in hospice. 😢 He was such an amazing songwriter. Please, Gen Xers can’t take anymore loss. My son used to sing this to me when he was a toddler. He loved the Tarzan movie.
Trump kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos hosted a dinner party for him, AFTER he got out of prison the first time.
If you’ve been paying attention, you would know that Trump and many other celebrities knew the creep. It’s undisputed that Trump kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago after finding out he was a pervert. So stop lying.
