But even with a softball interviewer who supports her, Harris was still completely vacuous. She had no understanding what she was saying about tariffs or anything else. //
Are you kidding? This is the most important elected position in the land and this person Harris seems to have all the seriousness of a fruit cup. We deserve answers and she's giving us cackles. She should be rejected out of hand, because this is just past silly at his point. //

So, how did humanity get here? The decline in the number of people who identify as religious certainly plays a part in it; too many people now think they are the higher power who gets to decide everything. I'd also argue that it's part of the "strong men create good times, good times create weak men" cycle. We've had it too easy for so long that we no longer see any value in the process of suffering. This is true in the U.S. and particularly true in Canada and Western Europe, where assisted suicide seems to be on the rise.
RedState's Bob Hoge summed it up nicely when writing about the assisted suicide of a young woman in the Netherlands:
The cult of death and, frankly, the negativity that has been allowed to fester in Justin Trudeau’s Canada and Joe Biden’s America—and seemingly Europe as well—is a far cry from the optimism and hope that characterized American thought for two centuries now. It’s one of the many things that’s been lost in recent years as guilt, loss, and despair have become the dominant narratives of our cultural class. We were once a people of dreams and aspirations for ourselves and for our families. Now, in Western thought, it seems like a cult of doom has taken over—climate change will kill us all, our reliance on energy and plastic bags will be our ruin, and we’re all secretly racist in our deepest heart of hearts.
He's 100% correct. There is a climate of doom that's being perpetrated by the ruling class, resulting in people wanting to die, not because they are terminally ill, but because they are beaten down by life and don't have the skills to cope. //
As pro-lifers, we need to add that second bookend -- natural death -- to all of our efforts to value and save lives. We can't allow suicide to become an acceptable antidote to a challenging life, and we certainly can't allow suicide pods to become a normal part of society.
House Speaker Mike Johnson demanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recall Ukraine's US ambassador in a sharply worded letter made public Wednesday.
I demand that you immediately fire Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova.
As you have said, Ukrainians have tried to avoid being “captured by American domestic politics,” and “influencing the choices of the American people” ahead of the November election. Clearly that objective was abandoned this week when Ambassador Markarova organized an event in which you toured an American manufacturing site. //
Support for ending Russia’s war against Ukraine continues to be bipartisan, but our relationship is unnecessarily tested and needlessly tarnished when the candidates at the top of the Republican presidential ticket are targeted in the media by officials in your government.
These incidents cannot be repeated. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I trust you will take immediate action. //
Speaker Johnson is correct. The Ukrainian ambassador either knowingly or unknowingly embroiled her president and her nation's struggle for self-determination in a US presidential campaign on the side of the probable loser. Zelensky should take the "L," fire his ambassador, apologize, and get Hillary Clinton to make him a huge red button labeled "RESET." //

I don't think that Zelensky was misled here. He made a conscious choice to criticize the Republican candidates and then allowed himself to be flown at U.S. taxpayer expense to an appearance that was basically a Democrat campaign photo op. He did this on purpose, because he views the Republican ticket as less reliable for his country's interests. He wants Harris because Harris is Biden 2.0, but somehow dumber.
In short, he's willing to saddle Americans with four or eight more years of catastrophic misrule if that's what it takes to protect his country's interests. I respect his view on that, since I prefer to look out for my own country's interests over Ukraine -- but it doesn't mean that I have to accept his choice. I'd rather see Ukraine completely disappear than suffer through another four years of Democrat evil.
Why? Because my family is more important than the entirety of Ukraine.

A federal court in California ruled late Tuesday against the Environmental Protection Agency, ordering officials to take action over concerns about potential health risks from currently recommended levels of fluoride in the American drinking water supply.
The ruling by District Court Judge Edward Chen, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, deals a blow to public health groups in the growing debate about whether the benefits of continuing to add fluoride to the water supply outweighs its risks. //
"One thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court's finding, is to ignore that risk," he wrote.
Michael Connett, a partner at the law firm Siri & Glimstad and the lead attorney for the groups who brought the lawsuit, said the law now requires EPA to take action to remove the risk of fluoride.
"From our vantage point, the obvious way of eliminating the risk from adding fluoride chemicals to drinking water is to stop adding them," he told CBS News.
- He's an Existential Threat to Our Democracy. The Left keeps repeating this and has been doing so for quite awhile. It's like one of their academics dropped the word "existential" in a white paper and the next day they all began using it. It sounds so intellectual! So analytical! So....like..Einsteinian! //
Ok, I think this goes beyond hyperbole and maybe they really think he will destroy "our democracy" as we know it. But what is our democracy as we know it? Well, a democracy is rule by simple majority which can lead to the tyranny of the majority as written about by Alexis de Tocqueville in his work "Democracy in America." But, we're not that. We're a constitutional republic. This means that we operate on the principle of representative government. It will be extremely unlikely that one person is going to be able to assume power like some medal-chested strongman in Uganda. Lots of checks and balances to shove out of the way first. However, if you can do something to change the representative part, say import an entirely new population of voters without the consent of the citizenry because you believe they will vote a certain way, well then you kind of have a real live existential threat to the country.
So if you're going to say that Trump is an existential threat to our democracy, I'm going to raise you and say that Biden, Harris and Mayorkas are far greater threats to our constitutional republic. And l call.

"When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better."

ExxonMobil is promoting recycling - where's the problem? Diverting material from a landfill and turning it into new products. I thought that was a good thing. It sounds like he's shopping for an excuse to be indignant and to make a name for himself. Sadly for him, I think that name is "buffoon who wastes taxpayers' money".
This is a fascinating paragraph. If this is true, he's abandoned the Democrats because they're too far left, like Musk did.
Privately, Mr. Zuckerberg now considers his personal politics to be more like libertarianism or “classical liberalism,” according to people who have spoken to him recently. That includes a hostility to regulation that restricts business, an embrace of free markets and globalism and an openness to social-justice reforms — but only if it stops short of what he considers far-left progressivism. And Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, have been privately aghast about what they see as a rise of antisemitism on college campuses, including at their alma mater, Harvard. //
He's going to have to go a long way for people to believe there's a true conversion happening here. Still, one would have to think that's bad news for the Democrats if he's taking his marbles and his millions and no longer playing the game.
In an added — and some might say ironic — twist, per CNN, Routh's case was assigned to Judge Aileen Cannon, the same U.S. District Court judge overseeing the classified documents case filed by the DOJ against Trump.

That's beautiful. The dirtbag got a Trump appointed judge in Florida. If Bongino is correct and there is much more to this story in regards to Iran and assassins and the Biden/Harris clownshow, Cannon is the judge for the job, IMO.
Her handling of the Documents case was masterful, to my non-lawyer eyes.
She's the judge for the Federal charges. If DeSantis's state level charges are brought, I'm assuming they'd be handled in a state level court and not Cannon but I'd be glad to be wrong about that.

According to Resources for the Future, 83 percent of people believe that human actions have been partly responsible for the cause of global warming, and 81 percent believe global warming will be a serious problem for the world. Funny enough, 78 percent of Americans think the government should do something about it.
And yet, the environment is never very high on the list of concerns when elections roll around.
Why, you ask? Easy. Because it's too expensive. When green energy comes for your wallet, all that concern for the climate disappears. It's too expensive. Which means that most people actually don't think it must be all that much of a threat. In fact, they see combating climate change as a greater threat to their wallet than climate change in total.
According to the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago, when Americans are given the option to pay an extra monthly fee to combat it, they shut their wallets and walk away:
While the majority of Americans support climate policies, including a carbon tax on companies, when it comes to paying for these policies in the form of a monthly fee on their energy use they are much less supportive. In fact, more than half of Americans are unwilling to pay any amount of money to combat climate change. Forty-five percent are willing to pay $1—more than last year, but down from prior years of the poll. That said, a consistent minority is willing to pay a significant amount (even $100) to combat climate change. //

None of these climate-cultists have been able to express what the goal is. If we did everything that they want, what would happen to the climate? Will we never have a blizzard in winter, heat wave in the summer, will everyday around the world be a balmy 75 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night? What's the goal? The goal is total control of the economy and the government while we proles live stone-age lives and the elites live the same lives they have always lived. That's the goal
For years, Argentina imposed one of the world’s strictest rent-control laws. It was meant to keep homes such as the stately belle epoque apartments of Buenos Aires affordable, but instead, officials here say, rents soared.
Now, the country’s new president, Javier Milei, has scrapped the rental law, along with most government price controls, in a fiscal experiment that he is conducting to revive South America’s second-biggest economy.
The result: The Argentine capital is undergoing a rental-market boom. Landlords are rushing to put their properties back on the market, with Buenos Aires rental supplies increasing by over 170%. While rents are still up in nominal terms, many renters are getting better deals than ever, with a 40% decline in the real price of rental properties when adjusted for inflation since last October, said Federico González Rouco, an economist at Buenos Aires-based Empiria Consultores.

The 2025 Presidential Transition Project, better known as Project 2025, is the effort of a broad coalition of more than 100 conservative organizations working together to ensure a successful new presidential administration begins Jan. 20.
Project 2025, spearheaded by The Heritage Foundation, seeks to restore democracy, to loosen it from the grip of the political elites in Washington, D.C.
But the fiercest attackers of Project 2025 are lining up to protect the deep state. In recent months, the project has faced outlandish, hyperbolic attacks. //
Myth 1: Project 2025 is part of Donald Trump’s campaign.
Project 2025 was launched in spring 2022, before any major presidential candidate, including Donald Trump, announced he or she was running for office. //
Project 2025 is about people and policy. It isn’t advocating any particular candidate, but rather conservative ideals. Democrats and independents are welcome to its reform proposals as much as Republicans are.
The commonsense ideas in “Mandate for Leadership” transcend any one individual. They represent the solutions that millions of conservative and independent-minded Americans need after years of failed liberal leadership and bureaucratic bloat.
Myth 2: Project 2025 calls for a nationwide ban on abortion, in vitro fertilization, and contraception.
This claim is an outright lie. There are no calls for a nationwide ban on abortion or contraception anywhere in “Mandate for Leadership” or any other Project 2025 materials. In vitro fertilization isn’t even mentioned. //
Myth 3: Project 2025 endorses the “authoritarian” unitary executive theory.
Project 2025 doesn’t mention the unitary executive theory. Although many Americans throughout our history have debated the constitutional extent of executive authority, the Constitution makes it clear that the executive branch should be under control of the executive.
The Constitution also makes clear that the administrative state is not a fourth, unaccountable branch that may undermine the president and ignore congressional and judicial oversight—the situation America now faces.
The “authoritarian” and “unconstitutional” fearmongering is simply a projection. Many on the left have ignored constitutional rights, including those enumerated in the Bill of Rights, to pursue their political goals. //
Project 2025 would rein in rogue and authoritarian elements within the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and other parts of the U.S. government.
Myth 4: Project 2025 is the effort of a small group of elites to subvert and control the American people.
Project 2025, while organized by The Heritage Foundation, is the effort of over 100 conservative American organizations from across the broad spectrum of the Right.
Organizations associated with Project 2025 are united in their efforts to ensure a competent, conservative administration. //
Myth 5: Project 2025’s proposals to shrink the bureaucracy would harm Americans and are contrary to American values.
The Left claims that Project 2025 proposes to vastly shrink and in some senses “weaken” the government. On this point, the Left is correct.
However, those on the left are incorrect that these efforts would harm Americans. In fact, the efforts would make life much better.
As Ronald Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Many Americans agree.
The federal government is bloated and inefficient and has not been reformed in nearly 50 years.
Making it easier to fire obstructive, lazy, or incompetent civil servants would save Americans money and make the government run better. Removing and reorganizing redundant and obsolete offices would do the same.
The United States has a federal system, but the role of the states in governance has been increasingly coopted by the U.S. government’s bureaucracy. Winding down and eventually abolishing the Department of Education would ultimately be in the interest of Americans, increasing the quality of education. Reforming the FBI would protect Americans from the politically corrupt leadership that runs the agency today.
These are just a few of the ways in which Project 2025’s implementation would serve Americans. //
Finally, there’s nothing sinister about Project 2025. It is an open book. It works out in the light and respectfully engages American citizens rather than gaslight them. It’s all available to the public at https://www.project2025.org
And while the Left fearmongers about the project, coalition partners have received feedback from many Americans, the great silent majority, that the solutions offered by Project 2025 are exactly what this country needs.

Even if never actively triggered all bombs are “unstable with time” and although they don’t have a predictable half life they do break down with time at a rate often depending on the environment. The only real question is how they break down…
Remember “blasting oil” was not safe untill “Dynamite” temporarily tamed it with clay. But dynamite “sweats” not just with temperature but other stressors including time. Thus the blasting oil comes out and is highly unstable again, and can easily act as a vibration sensitive detonator to the dynamite it is on plus any other “sticks” in close enough proximity.
Oh and just for fun, look up Victorian “Exploding Billiard Balls” it happens due to instability in nitro cellulose which over time becomes increasingly explosive…
Just remember it was also used for piano keys as well, so a grand crescendo on a historic instrument could have a more explosive finish than either the pianist or audience expect…
Radiologik is a system suitable for both live DJing and 24/7 radio automation on the Mac that uses the Music app (or iTunes in previous macOS versions) as its database and those playlists as the logical building blocks for sophisticated programming.
Radiologik was developed for and is used in LPFMs, NCE-FM, college and high school stations, and online stations. It's also used by radio and live venue DJs, Sirius/XM channels, and is licensed to users in over 60 countries. Fully automated and unmanned stations use Radiologik to pick content by date, intro and outro artists and titles, announce the time, station ID, play podcasts, manage and play advertising by a separate schedule that integrates with the programming schedule, all completely autonomously. //
- Radiologik DJ Download here
- Radiologik DJ can be used by itself as a DJ program for live events. It is also the player Radiologik Scheduler uses to make a full-time automated radio station.
Equally good: Live or full automation
- Radiologik is meant to be an equally good live assist and full automation DJ for radio so you can walk right in and take over and leave as you wish.
3 hot changeable audio outputs and 1 preview
- Radiologik DJ's primary is the program queue which essentially uses the first 2 players and the third for tight fits and voiceovers. It has 3 on-air players which can be sent directly to 3 distinct audio outputs with the right hardware. You get one more 4th audio output meant for off air used by the library player for previewing and properties player for editing ramp, start, stop, overlap, etc. //
- Radiologik Scheduler Download here
-
You can use the scheduler to run a 24/7 automated terrestrial or internet station. Basic and Advanced features are the same download and can be switched from the application menu.

It includes support of scheduling spot/ad flight runs, podcast subscribe and play, silence sensor, date matching track titles, and time announcements and sells for just $96.00.
Panetta was and has always been a political hack. A “yes man” who ended up heading the CIA, not because of years of experience at Langley or bringing some unique skills to the Agency, Panetta was appointed to head the CIA because of politics. Barack Obama put him in that position because he helped Democrats get elected, and he was the chief of staff for Clinton.
In 2011, after the Bin Laden raid, Panetta reveled in the success of the mission. Panetta addressed a throng of people at a CIA Headquarters event – which was to honor the people connected to the raid. At that event, Panetta disclosed classified information — in fact, "Secret" and "Top Secret" information regarding the personnel who found Bin Laden and who conducted it. He fingered the SEAL team (DevGru) and fingered the ground commander. Panetta also revealed more Top Secret information during the speech that was attended by 1,300, many of whom had NO clearance at all. //
In October 2020, Panetta and a group of 50 other former senior intelligence officials signed a letter stating the Hunter Biden laptop controversy had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation" because it contained potentially damaging information to the Biden campaign.
We knew then — and even the New York Times has admitted now — that Hunter's laptop being "Russian disinfo" was utter nonsense propagated by unserious political hacks, not the least of whom was Leon Panetta. //
