Just a quick reminder that they arrested this guy for paddleboarding alone in the ocean during Covid while Anthony Fauci had dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife in DC and Gavin Newsome hosted a party with friends in California.
Congress still allows $40M in weekly payments to the Taliban. @SenJohnBarrasso won’t schedule a vote on the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act. Call his office (202) 224-6441. It’s been over a year since it passed the House. They have the votes to defund the Taliban.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
This is biblical.
A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.
Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.
She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.
A German visiting Auburn, Alabama, to watch Lionel Messi and Argentina play Iceland stopped at a Buc-ee's and ate brisket sandwiches on a stack of deer feeder corn.
A sentence never before uttered in all of human history.
There is literally nothing California could do to make their elections less secure.
Mail in ballots and No ID.
Weeks of counting with no real chain of custody.
The fraud is staggering.
It’s an insult to America.
It’s an insult to Americans.
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
NEW - EU Parliament to vote on new legislation introducing a 2 category system for GMO products under "NGTs (New Genomic Techniques)," with NGT-1 final products no longer requiring mandatory GM labeling, as it can be perceived negatively and cause "limited consumer acceptance."
One tick bite made this man allergic to red meat.
Now over 450,000 Americans are allergic to beef & dairy and the number is rising.
What’s is going on?
A tech recruiter just watched her placement rate collapse from 89% to 0.2% in three years
Started 2023 with 847 successful placements out of 951 candidates
Ended 2025 with 3 placements out of 1,492 candidates
The math is fucking devastating
2023: Average 12 applications per role, 67% response rate, 2.3 offers per candidate
2024: Average 89 applications per role, 31% response rate, 0.8 offers per candidate
2025: Average 412 applications per role, 4% response rate, 0.002 offers per candidate
The ghost rate went from 11% to 96% in eighteen months
But here's the beautiful part
She tracked the reasons companies gave for not hiring
"Budget frozen" - 31% of postings in Q4 2025
"Role filled internally" - 28% of postings
"Requirements changed" - 19% of postings
Translation: fake jobs posted for legal compliance while they hire offshore contractors at $19 an hour
Her last three successful placements were all contract-to-hire at companies that fired full-time Americans six months earlier
Same roles, same requirements, 60% less pay, zero benefits
She's 34 years old and her entire career just evaporated into compliance theater
But sure, keep telling people the job market is "just competitive"
I can understand why per the START treaty USAF had to permanently disable the vererable B52s. However some jackass in USAF did the same to the entire retired fleet of C-141s so they could never be utilized by a private contractor and embarrass the USAF with improved operational stats.
