The House Freedom Caucus just demanded an immediate recess of Congress so President Trump can make recess appointments. It's a brilliant move. And if Minority Leader Thune refuses to comply we should withhold every penny from Republican lawmakers and the RNC.

Chick fil a almost always just hires local American teenagers who speak English, instead of foreign adults, and theyre known for their great service and ability to flawlessly handle long drive through lines.

I think about this often because its not a coincidence that their service is so superior.

Companies need to start hiring American teenagers for jobs that were always meant for them again.

My mother once asked me, "Why America?"

I showed her a photo of a 72-ounce steak. She stopped asking.

That was a joke. This is the real answer. I have never told it to anyone. Not even her.

In 1998, I was thirteen. The smallest boy in my class. The kind of kid teachers forget to call on.

That spring, my big sister Yuki left for a year in Iowa. A farm. Four sons. A host dad the size of a refrigerator.

My mother made me write him a thank-you letter. In English. I looked up every single word.

"Dear Sir. Thank you for my sister. Please return her in June."

Three weeks later, an envelope came. Addressed to me.

Nobody had ever sent me a letter.

Pencil. All capital letters. Pressed so hard I could read it from the back of the page.

"DEAR BROTHER. WILL RETURN HER IN JUNE. CONDITION: EXCELLENT. SHE CAN DRIVE A TRUCK NOW. DON'T TELL YOUR MOM.

YOU SHOULD COME SEE THE CORN."

I read it eleven times. I slept with it under my pillow.

The smallest boy in my class. And a man on the other side of the world had written "DEAR BROTHER."

I couldn't pronounce his name. So I wrote back to "Mr. Iowa."

He signed everything "MR. IOWA" for the rest of his life.

Some of you know about the Christmas cards. Twenty-eight years. "To our Japanese daughter."

What you don't know is the last line. It was always for me. Same pencil. Same capitals.

"P.S. TELL THE BOY TO COME SEE THE CORN."

Every year, I meant to go.

1999. Too young.
2003. University entrance exams.
2008. New job. In Japan, you don't take vacation your first year. Or your second.
2012. Promotion. In Japan, you also don't take vacation after a promotion.
2017. Next year.
2020. Nobody could go anywhere. For once, it wasn't my fault.
2025. Next year. I mean it.

He never once asked why I didn't come. Every Christmas, the P.S. just came anyway.

He came to Tokyo once, for Yuki's wedding. Six-foot-five in a rented suit that gave up at the wrists. He found me in the crowd, put one giant hand on top of my head like I was still thirteen, and said:

"Corn's still there, bud."

This July, my sister called. The family in Iowa had set up a video call.

"He's asking for you."

I was at my desk in Tokyo. I took it in the stairwell.

He was in a hospital bed. I had never seen him small before.

He didn't let me apologize. He saw it on my face and waved it away.

"Don't you feel bad about the corn," he said. "Corn don't care."

Then he told me what was really bothering him.

"Folks back home keep saying this country's gone bad. That we're not good people anymore. I don't believe it. Never did."

He had to stop and breathe.

"But nobody believes it when we say it about ourselves. Maybe they'd believe it from somebody far off."

He looked right at me.

"You've had our mail for twenty-eight years, bud. You know us."

That was the last thing he ever said to me.

I stood in that stairwell for an hour.

He died in August. Some of you read his obituary here. My sister was in it. "His daughter, Yuki, of Tokyo, Japan."

My father flew to Iowa in September to stand at his grave.

I didn't go. Work. Next year.

But on October 7th, I sat down at my kitchen table, opened an account I had been writing in Japanese for a year, and wrote my first post to you in English.

"Hello, America."

You thought it was a greeting.

It was the answer to a P.S. Twenty-eight years late.

I have written to you every single day since.

And you wrote back.

Almost seven thousand of you told me how far you drive to see your parents. Fourteen hours. Through two states. Some of you told me about parents you can't drive to anymore, and you still told me the mileage.

You told me about fathers who never once said "I love you" and checked your tire pressure every time you came home instead.

You told me about strangers who pulled your car out of a ditch and left before you could ask their names. About grandmothers who fed whole towns. About trucks that stopped on the shoulder for a funeral they weren't part of.

Every morning in Tokyo, before the train, I read you.

And every morning, I hear a voice in pencil and capital letters.

TOLD YOU, BUD.

He was right. About every single one of you.

So here it is. The thing he asked me to say. From somebody far off.

DEAR AMERICA.

YOU ARE GOOD PEOPLE. YOU ALWAYS WERE.

YOU JUST NEEDED SOMEBODY ELSE TO SAY IT.

THE BOY.

P.S. STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THE CORN. NEXT YEAR.

IMPOSSIBLE 🚨 James Talarico got more votes for Senator during Midterms than any Democrat Presidential candidate and Republican Governor EVER in Texas

Again, James Talarico BEAT EVERY REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR AND EVERY DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT CANDIDATE EVER IN TOTAL VOTES in Texas

Here are the vote totals of every Republican governor and Democrat Presidential going back through 2010:

- 2,737,481 votes, Rick Perry (R Governor 2010)
- 2,796,547 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2014)
- 3,308,124 votes, Barack Obama (D President 2012)
- 3,877,868 votes, Hillary Clinton (D President 2016)
- 4,437,099 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2022)
- 4,524,527 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2026, unofficial)
- 4,656,196 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2018)
- 4,835,250 votes, Kamala Harris (D President 2024)
- 5,259,126 votes, Joe Biden (D President 2020)
- 5,444,982 votes, James Talarico (D Senate 2026, unofficial)

There is no way a Democrat Senator in Texas was able to get more votes than every Republican Governor Candidate EVER and more votes than every Democrat Presidential candidate EVER in Texas

There is no conceivable way to ever believe this could be even remotely possible

Especially someone like James Talarico….

what if...2020 they waited to see how far behind they were, and kept counting until they won

2024 the lead was "too big to rig"

so 2026 they just dumped everything ahead of time. thinking they could call it early and stop counting. but realized too late, and some places got 105% voter turnout

[Eric Kohn 🥃 @iEricKohn]

My favorite two parts of the background of Gordon Lightfoot writing “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”:

1) Lightfoot read a news story on the wreck and they spelled the name of the ship wrong. Offended by this, he wrote the song to honor them properly.

2) The final verse contains the line “the church bell chimed til it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.” This happens to this day on the anniversary at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. When Lightfoot passed away in 2023, they rang the bell 30 times—29 for the sailors lost and once for Lightfoot who immortalized them.

Lori married Jensen Huang before Nvidia existed. After more than 40 years of marriage, people saying “she’ll be fine, she has money” are missing the point.

Financial security doesn’t erase betrayal by someone you built your life with.

[Nigerian Princess @LizzosDietician]

It's also worth noting that Alice Cooper has been married to his wife, Sheryl Goddard, since 1976 and has never cheated on her. They have three children and five grandchildren

Ice Cube has been married to Kimberly Woodruff since 1992 and has never cheated, either. They have four kids and are also grandparents

Pierce Brosnan, Denzel Washington, Samuel L Jackson, Kevin Bacon, Jeff Bridges, Steve Carell, and Christopher Guest are all further proof that men can be loyal in spite of endless temptations; each of these men has spent decades in the spotlight, surrounded by constant attention and easy opportunities, yet they have all maintained strong, faithful marriages for decades

A good marriage isn't built on a lack of temptation or how physically attractive your spouse is; it's built on character, mutual respect, and the daily choice to honor your commitments. When someone genuinely values their partner and puts real effort into their marriage, no level of easy access will change that

[Nigerian Princess @LizzosDietician]

Both his "kids" are watching their loyal, loving mom getting ridiculed as ugly and people justifying their dad's betrayal while their family blows up in front of the world and then have to read stupid commentary framing their public humiliation as "re-experiencing his youth" because he "fulfilled 99% of expectations" what kind of clown math even is this?

If "don't publicly humiliate your spouse for a honey pot" is 1% bonus credit to you, please get fitted for a chastity belt for the safety of the general public, stat

[Truth Is Freedom @TruthAnswersAll]

When I first posted the 15% Band, I compared Republicans vs. Democrats, so it covered 30 Senate races.

Now that results are nearly final, I updated it to include every vote: Republicans, Democrats, independents, third parties, everyone, in all 35 Senate races. Then I ran a new regression analysis. Once again, the number came back .85.

34 of 35 Senate Republicans fell below President Trump's 2024 share. Red states and blue states lost the same proportion.

In some states the lost votes went to Democrats. In others, like Idaho, Nebraska and Montana, they went to independents. Different opponents, different places for the votes to go, and the Republican share still landed at about 85%.

This isn't just an average. An average can hide states scattered all over the place. A regression tests whether one rule fits every state.

Here, it does: Trump's 2024 share × .85 lands close to the Republican result state after state after state, and explains 87% of the differences between them (R² = .87).

Five nights ago, I was pretty sure. Tonight, I know.

This is real. It deserves an answer.

At Walmart you could purchase 100% cotton t shirts and actual denim, not "stretch denim," blue jeans. 100% cotton sheets not "super soft micro fiber!"
Cotton was normal material available to the proles, not a luxury product.
