Was on @FoxNews’ last night with @kilmeade discussing the evolving conflict with Iran and how @realDonaldTrump’s action prevented Iran from developing nuclear missiles that could strike New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. @TPPF

Sadly, no. Some 85% of medicine is driven by entities other than doctors and patients, much of that, government. Look at the prices of services not covered by insurance or government (lasik) - prices have gone down and quality, up. Of course, ObamaCare was suppose to solve all this.

@AjitPai "Still drinkable"?
How would you be able to tell?

[Ajit Pai @AjitPai]

An underwater photographer found a bottle buried in a shipwreck off the coast of Dover. A quick rinse revealed that it was a Guinness bottle from 1864. Effort are underway to extract and replicate the beer—and there’s a small chance it’s still drinkable. https://t.co/IthuLrR0Vk

I read every page of the $10 million settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital.

The headlines barely scratch the surface.

Here are 5 things hidden in the agreement that surprised even me.🧵

[Cicero Institute @InstituteCicero]

Communist regimes killed more people in the 20th century than both World Wars combined. Over 100 million.

And yet many young Americans have a favorable view of communism.

This is an education problem.. American schools must teach the truth about communism.

@cdrsalamander Political support or lack thereof played a role. "Why be where you're not wanted?"

In @theammind, @BrianTKennedy1 with a must-read article on how to view the persistent threat of a nuclear-armed Iran and @realDonaldTrump's strategy to prevent an Iranian nuclear attack.

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

"the fundraiser incorporated a speech by Oz in front of a car that once belonged to Adolf Hitler."

You try so hard to frame me as a Nazi but have nothing to work with, so instead you just lie.

The speech was at the Lyon Air Museum, founded by famed WWII and Korean War veteran Bill Lyon. Hitler's personal car was seized French Army after the U.S. Third Infantry Division liberated Berchtesgaden, and Bill used his connections to get it shipped to the United States for display alongside the American machines that toppled Hitler's empire. To mention none of this and simply frame it as "Palmer hosted someone in front of Hitler's car" is the type of unethical journalism that would get you fired at any credible outlet.

Setting all that aside, Oz wasn't even speaking in front of the car. It was ~100 feet off to the side next to a stairwell!

China’s manufacturing output is roughly $4.6–4.8 trillion (in current USD), out of a global total of about $16–17 trillion.

That's about 30 percent, not 40 or 50%.

And manufacturing is returning to the U.S. It's not over yet.

Two SIM cards and a can of food. That’s what investigators now say was inside the explosive drone found at Leipzig/Halle Airport and the details make the incident even more unsettling.
German authorities report the drone carried

two SIM cards for redundant remote control
a canned‑food container repurposed as an explosive charge
custom wiring and mounts designed to bypass airport security systems

This wasnt a toy. It was a cheap, low‑signature weapon, engineered to look harmless and stay controllable even under signal disruption.

Investigators now say the setup suggests professional planning, not hobbyists and that someone was testing how close they can get to a NATO logistics hub without detection.

Myth: Texas proves that a grid with lots of solar/wind and batteries can be reliable and affordable.

Truth: Solar/wind and batteries don't replace TX's need for reliable natural gas plants—but they do undermine gas's economics, which is about to create a huge problem for the state's grid.

By taking operating revenue away from natural gas plants, solar/wind have driven these plants' profits so low that new natural gas plants are no longer economically justified, according to ERCOT’s Independent Market Monitor.

Meanwhile, rapidly increasing demand for reliable electricity due to AI absolutely requires TX to build a lot of new natural gas generation.

These two phenomena are on a collision course that can only result in higher electricity prices, a slower AI buildout, or both.

@ConcernedC45825 @TPPF Given what we propose is the exact opposite of your characterization, I have come to the conclusion that you're either a liar or a knave. I'm figuring the latter.

[Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel]

I knew they were stupid, but not this stupid. The Washington Post says our math doesn’t work because we costs a single recipe and you can’t buy an ounce of onions, therefore the real cost in their elitest mind is the cost of all the ingredients regardless of whether you use them all 😂- I’d have to say this was a huge success if their only critique is that you’ll have a ton more food to cook.

@senatorshoshana Right!

[Texas Public Policy Foundation @TPPF]

Only citizens should vote. Texas should move to implement stronger safeguards to ensure that only citizens can vote in state and local elections by creating a federal-only voter list. @ChuckDeVore #txlege

This is wild. Bastrop City Council held a meeting this morning OVER 100 miles away!

@senatorshoshana I had to ask Grok:

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Iran’s shadow banking system is buckling under Economic Fury, and the regime is running out of ways to move money. Every facilitator that keeps the regime afloat is putting a target on its own back.  Treasury will continue to expose these networks and cut them off from the U.S. financial system.
