Two thoughts from Hans Rosling

“There’s no room for facts when our minds are occupied by fear.”

“Here’s the paradox: the image of a dangerous world has never been broadcast more effectively than it is now, while the world has never been less violent and more safe.”

[Ricky Gervais @rickygervais]

Virtue signalling substitutes applause for action. By turning conviction into costume, it cheapens the cause, alienates the unconvinced, and leaves the real work to those too busy doing it to pose for the cameras.

Josh Hawley has a bill to claw back the big tax incentive for data center construction created in the Trump tax bill that Josh Hawley voted for.

This is something a mentally ill person would post. Or the current president of the US. Pathetic, disturbing.

He’s not wrong, but what an odyssey it’s been for this guy.

Lutnick: Data centers don't use water. This is propaganda by our adversaries to try to slow us down.

Lutnick last year: These AI things suck water. They need water.

I regret to inform Zohran Mamdani and the DSA that the Center-Left has officially found their short-form video content champion.

In 18 months in office, Trump and his family have accumulated billions of dollars. Even if/after Trump leaves office, this wrongfully obtained fortune will offer a resource for power-seeking by his heirs. Other democracies have reclaimed plundered wealth from fallen autocrats. Some lessons for Americans from Nigeria, Peru, and the Philippines. My latest in @theAtlantic https://t.co/wdBEKefBU1

TRUMP: “We'll by Argentinian beef.”

Reporters:' What about the US farmers who are suffering?'

Trump: “Argentina is fighting for its life. Do you understand me? They’re dying.”

He says this as 77 American cattle producers are going out of business in the US per day.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Trump’s getting roasted today for his disastrous beef policy, the debt hit $40 trillion because of his “big beautiful bill,” he stepped-in-it in Iran, and he’s weeks away from failing his mid-terms in November.

He posted this because we are the three he should have listened to:

[Robert Wolf @robertwolf32]

As I said last week to @SandraSmithFox on #FoxNews
“what President Trump is doing. You could argue he is the most powerful socialist in the country today” and now Trump is slashing #beef product with government intervention

Trump works actively against the national security interests of the United States and the free world

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche.

The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Jeanine Pirro may have dropped the charges, but that shouldn’t end the conversation.

If her office presented false or misleading evidence to a grand jury in a case that nearly imprisoned an innocent man, she should be referred to the bar and face an independent investigation.
