'When you show that you care about an opinion that you, and any observers, know you really shouldn’t, you show weakness. In losing the fight between trying to ignore them & craving the catharsis of engagement, you demonstrate a failure of self-control.'

Only THREE drunk driving charges on this winner. Meanwhile "Burns remains employed by the district."
What the hell does it take to get fired by a school district? Killing someone?

Helga has downloaded an app that’s supposed to help you ‘Spark Joy’.
It has instructed me to ‘clean my house’.
Please remember to beware malicious apps.

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.

I was a reporter. People and places have 1A rights too that includes to tell a reporter no to an interview, no to access, no to calling on them at a press conference. Freedom of the press means freedom to publish, not freedom to access or to force others to let you in or to make you talk to them.

I don’t buy expensive coffee, I don’t buy coffee at all. I don’t buy concert tickets. I don’t go to high end restaurants. I don’t buy things I don’t need.
I do buy gas and food. Its ok to say things are too expensive, even under Trump.
But, I will never stay home and not vote. I sure as hell wont vote for a Democrat and communism.

Bill Maher just delivered the PERFECT case for ELMINATING almost EVERY welfare program in the U.S.: “We're still giving [money] away. How else are the 40% of adult Americans who don't work supposed to live? Yeah, did you know that? That roughly 60% of Americans work and 40% what's the word, don’t?”
“Including 6M working-age men who don't work and are not looking. No getting on LinkedIn for them. They're home playing Call of Duty at 11 in the morning.”

Local classic rock station is playing Toto’s “Africa.” I change to the alternative rock station, which is playing Weezer’s “Africa.”

Ben Stein Nixon speechwriter, Yale lawyer, the teacher from Ferris Bueller said this in 2019 and it still slaps:
“We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide. These promises are old promises and they invariably lead to bad things.”
Nailed it.
Free stuff is never free. Somebody always pays.
Let’s not let history repeat itself.

I find it hilarious that the party who has spent the last few decades destroying refineries, vilifying big oil, sticking tons of restrictions on diesel, now care about the price of oil.

The nominee for Surgeon General came before the Senate and told senators that cardiovascular disease remains America's number-one killer and that preventing chronic disease should be a central public-health priority.
The committee then spent the vast majority of its time interrogating her about MMR, autism, and the hepatitis B birth dose than it spent questioning her about cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, and sepsis combined.
Senator Cassidy spent his entire time questioning her on vaccines.
So what actually kills people in the USA, the Senate has no interest in discussing with the SG nominee. Fascinating.

We import 90% of the seafood we eat.

Joe Pires and I met down on the New Bedford waterfront — the number one seafood port in the country by dollar value.
Boat after boat of garbage shrimp, undercutting our own fishermen in the Gulf, the Carolinas and Florida. That's a problem I intend to change.

Presidential Memorial? It’s not Kennedy’s resting place. It wasn’t even supposed to be named for him.
I was a Kennedy regular. The carpets are frayed, parking garage ceiling drips, the landscaping was dead and fountains dry for $195 ticket to “Shabawaba: The Sounds of Laotian Magic” a 90-minute kazoo piece played thru the nostrils by a guy with no feet.
Protest all you want. But the Kennedy Center needs serious help. Financial, cosmetic and programatic. But like all things: the left would rather oppose Trump than admit they destroyed something else like the border or healthcare or education or the FBI or the grid or the military or…
Several hundred activists are expected to gather at the Kennedy Center on Friday in opposition to President Trump's attempted takeover of the presidential memorial and threats that he will close and demolish it. abcnews.link/U1wM8lY

It's time to stop campaigning on problems, and start solving them. As governor, I'll opt in to the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, suspend the gas tax and lower energy bills by a third.
