[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

JD Vance on his grandma: “She was a woman of very devout Christian faith. She loved the f-bomb. When she died, we discovered 19 loaded handguns in her house. Not just 19, but 19 spread randomly all over her house.”

BREAKING: The Pentagon has released a fourth batch of UFO documents and videos, including what officials describe as the clearest footage yet—showing a large two-tiered object captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020.

Tom Holland says Matt Damon repeated a iconic Jason Bourne line to him while filming ‘THE ODYSSEY’.

“Matt had to grab me in a take & as he grabbed me, he went ‘Tell me everything you know about Treadstone!’ I was like ‘Oh my god it’s Jason Bourne!’”

America’s first overseas war was fought to free its own citizens from slavery in North Africa. It’s why Marines say “the shores of Tripoli.”

Shores of Tripoli wd be a good movie.

Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius and I’m tired of pretending this is a debate.

Fahrenheit feels like temperature was designed by an human being who walks outside, feels the air, and says, “Yeah, that makes sense.”

Zero is freezing. 100 is brutally hot.
70 is comfortable. 80 is warm.

The numbers feel like what they are describing.

Celsius feels like it was designed by a committee of people who hate joy and want every conversation about the weather to sound like a chemistry lab.

“It’s 22 degrees outside.”

What does that even mean to a normal person? Am I wearing shorts? Am I grabbing a jacket?

Nobody knows. You need a conversion chart and a government employee standing next to you explaining the vibes.

Fahrenheit gives you range. That’s the point. It gives you more numbers for the temperatures human beings actually live in. You can feel the difference between 68, 72, 76, and 80. Those numbers matter. Fahrenheit lets you describe the world with more precision without having to break into decimals like a lunatic.

And here’s the other thing...

Celsius is connected to the metric cult energy that came out of the French Revolution. And the French Revolution was evil. Both of the Revolution were to rip out tradition, faith, monarchy, hierarchy, the Church, the calendar, the clock, and anything that reminded man he was not God.

CELSIUS IS INHERENTLY EVIL

So yes, Celsius may be useful if you’re boiling water in a lab. Congratulations. But Fahrenheit is for living LIFE because Fahrenheit is for walking outside and instantly knowing what kind of day you’re about to have.

100 means hot. 70 means beautiful. Zero means don’t go outside unless you have a death wish.

That’s a real system.

The most interesting part of the red card saga isn't the ruling. It's how differently Americans and Europeans process the idea that they might have been wronged.

Europeans are fundamentally different from Americans in one particular way: they expect life to be aggravating and at times unfair. It's just a fact of moving through the world. I joke that in Europe, the customer is always wrong. You didn't read the fine print. The only pharmacy in town is closed every other Tuesday for three hours, and even if the times weren't posted, that's still your problem. Too bad if you want the bill, because the waiter's on his union-mandated half-hour smoke break, and you're just going to have to wait.

To quote the great Mark Knopfler: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. There's something freeing in that. Things are less in your control, so there's less angst in managing your expectations.

In America, things couldn't be more different. We simply can't accept a wrong left unrighted.

The flight attendant sneezed handing you a drink on your one-hour flight? 15,000 frequent flyer miles. Didn't like your appetizer? A replacement is on the way, and the whole course comes off the bill. There's a reason our interstates are lined with trial lawyer billboards.

Europeans have turned complaining into a continental pastime with no expectation that the universe owes them a remedy for their grief. You gripe about the train being late, your friends nod solemnly and everyone goes back to their apéro. In America, we launch a full-blown investigation of the train system, sue the government (and its contractors) that allowed for the tardiness and hold a Congressional hearing on the state of national infrastructure.

So to an objective observer, the red card shouldn't have happened, and VAR was a travesty. To Americans, our star player shouldn't be unfairly banned from a match we couldn't afford to lose for a card he so obviously didn't deserve.

Who cares that FIFA used a little-used reversal to fix it. Who cares that other people are mad about it. We. Were. Wronged. It was unjust. It must be corrected. We would accept nothing less.

Europeans waxing poetic about the sanctity of the game are, of course, talking about a governing body whose last tournament host was decided via confirmed cash bribes — one that imposed dress codes on women, shrugged off widespread allegations of modern slavery and reconfigured the entire tournament calendar to suit the host country. Which is exactly the point. If you've made peace with all of that, at least enough to watch the tournament four years later, a probationary suspension isn't actually a scandal.

Maybe that's the real divide. Over millennia, Europeans have made peace with being the bug. Americans have never once considered it, and apparently, we're not about to start now.

All the Europeans coming on the timeline to say the Balogun suspension shouldn’t have been reversed.

BREAKING: Look at this.

The day before Trump paused tariffs, triggering a historic 10% market rally, his accounts purchased 327 stocks worth up to $12.8 million.

The trades were disclosed more than a year late, resulting in a $200 penalty.

Unusual.
