Heritage president Kevin Roberts is super upset that
Democrats responded to Republican gerrymandering with Democratic gerrymandering. So now he wants Trump to “return Arlington to DC” via Executive Order. The replies are brutal. 1/

This is too little too late.

China is going to win the battle to free itself from reliance on oil and gas.

The Unraveling of Donald Trump In the weeks since Donald Trump's assault on Iran, it has been difficult to extract a clear signal about what is happening and where things are heading. I've reached out to experts across the spectrum...

@davetroy.com always has interesting thoughts:

Why cuts to science are a mistake.

I don’t love these guys nor do I think they’re in for “humanity”. I think they’re in it for themselves.
Having said that, given the nuisance of wear-and-tear aches and pains, I wish I could somehow convert my skeleton into titanium!

Top 10 Most Replicable Findings from Behavior Genetics, Part 1: Findings #1-5 The nature of nature and nurture

“The heritability of intelligence increases as people get older, from around 40% in childhood to over 50% in adolescence, to 70% or more in adulthood.”

That's why youth is wasted on the young.

Yes and I read it for that. Thanks.

Immensely appreciate your expert analytics on each political and military move within the Strait. Can't help but wonder if the current US regime has a mariner of your status onboard to advise on international sea rules and the repercussions of their actions. I doubt it, so thanks Sal.

Tough times for the cruise ship industry since 2020!

Hegseth Quotes Made-Up Bible Verse From Pulp Fiction Does Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth actually know what’s in the Bible?

Ok, even I find the anti-trump stuff often too much .. but this is hilarious. Hegseth is such a fake Christian:

Makes you think this was never about Iran with nukes ... look at what trump has accomplished with this war - American oil hegemony.

I wonder if this is just a delaying tactic while US military continue to position themselves in the region? Or a false-flag while something else is going on in say, Natanz or Isfahan.

"all the shit that came before was peachy-keen, until it started personally affecting them [gas prices] — and now they want a cookie for speaking out against Dead Leader."

“Keep your enemies closer”. He must have a lot on on Mr and Mrs Trump.

And ironically, even though the pontiff’s message is relevant to all nations (including Iran!), the WH somehow thinks he’s only addressing them. Their abject self-justification makes them even more pathetic.

Pay Attention, Canada: Electrification Surge Reshaping Global Energy Future YouTube video by Energi Media

Oil and Gas was the 20th century, and electric is the future. Asia knows, but the west is stuck in the past. Look what it's brought us - the oil wars. Venezuela, Iran, what's next?

Yes, I remember the US asking the same, as well as putting other restrictions on Ukraine's options. And that's why 4 years later, this war is still dragging on. Yes I know the US has been helping. But only enough to keep the war going. Why? What's in it for trump?

I agree with this fellow:

“Last month, Pizzaballa cited US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s comparison of the war in Iran to the Christian Crusades as an example of abusing God’s name to justify war, which is, Pizzaballa said, “the gravest sin we can commit in this time.”

Incredible story.

“US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also visited in February to try to boost Orbán’s campaign, but actually did the opposite – independent opinion surveys following his trip showed the opposition widened its lead.”

Hahaha! The Hungarians aren’t dumb.

Panama Canal is open. Some beautiful reporting from @mercoglianos.bsky.social

I read Liz Cheney’s book, Oath and Honor. Yep. It all came down to McConnell and he failed her. He said all the right things, pretended to be on her side, encouraged her, denigrated trump, lead her on right up to the very end. He’s a cowardly lying limp little man.
