  1. A little reality on the predicament we find ourselves in: Over the past 50 years, the dominant corporate model has prioritized offshoring production and maximizing shareholder returns while systematically de-industrializing the American economy. The resulting concentration of wealth is astounding; the combined market capitalization of five leading U.S. technology firms now exceeds the total market capitalization of China's four largest banks. We spent $8 trillion on post-9/11 wars and homeland security (see, Costs of War" project at Brown University (https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/costs/economic/us-federal-budget)). These conflicts produced protracted and indecisive outcomes while generating significant revenue for defense contractors. This focus on military spending has come at the expense of domestic investment. The American Society of Civil Engineers consistently assigns poor grades to the nation's infrastructure (citing chronic underfunding). As capital flows disproportionately to financial markets, many working Americans contend with stagnant wages in an economy increasingly skewed toward capital over labor. Truncated The aggregate effect of this mal-investment is a hollowing-out of our national capacity and capability. This is the result of policy choices that favored financialization, global military engagement, and short-term corporate profit over broad-based public investment and resilience. America’s trajectory, unfortunately, will be remembered as a lesson in the long-term consequences of neglecting foundational economic and social infrastructure. We have neither the will nor the common sense to alter our unfortunate trajectory. “We live in a world in which you can talk all you want about international niceties and everything else, but we live in a world, in the real world, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” Stephen Miller, CNN Interview, 6 January 2026 “The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. Power is not a means; it is an end.” George Orwell, 1984
  2. Cruelty is the point. It serves as a bonding mechanism for his supporters. Two important facts undermine any claim of justification for the use of deadly force. First, the act of placing the vehicle in reverse to create distance between herself and the agent positioned at the front of the car is objectively inconsistent with an intent to strike or use the vehicle as a weapon. Had the driver’s objective been to inflict harm, initiating reverse motion would have been a counterproductive and unnecessary maneuver. Second, the driver’s subsequent steering of the vehicle to the right, away from the agent’s position, further negates the existence of an immediate threat. By moving to the vehicle’s left side, the agent exited the path of the vehicle, which ended any imminent threat to the agent. The agent’s subsequent actions (leaning over the hood, aiming, and discharging his weapon) was done absent an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. The application of deadly force was not a reasonable response to an imminent peril. It was a discretionary act undertaken after the threat had ceased. The shooting was not objectively reasonable under the totality of the circumstances and therefore constituted an impermissible use of force.
  3. If anyone believes Maduro's capture will bring 'stability,' then you probably also thought Saddam Hussein's departure gifted the Middle East a legacy of unparalleled calm. Bless your heart. We have the best and brightest on the case: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1422326/dl
  4. Shortly before committing suicide, child rapist Jeffery Epstein sent a letter to fellow child fucker Larry Nassar letting him know he was taking the shortcut out of prison and . . . informing Larry know that another child molester was living his best life. (Allegedly of course). From today’s document dump - the letter:
  5. And these two ended work from home . . .
  6. This exacerbated the situation:
  7. If "the medium is the message,” an opinion piece in Compact magazine about the problems that younger white males face forces one to think about what it means to publish that piece in this specific media. Compact is not a neutral place. Its main point as a medium is: The Liberal Consensus is no longer effective. The goal is to dismantle the dominant liberal worldview, which encompasses both progressive and neoliberal viewpoints. Combining leftist economic ideas with rightist social and cultural concerns is okay. It gives intellectual and political legitimacy to ideas that mainstream conservative (National Review) and leftist (Jacobin) outlets think are wrong.
  8. According to David Brooks, you are a QAnon conspiracy theorist if you want the Epstein files released. Guess who is in the Epstein files. Given the latest photo dump, David might have some explaining to do . . .
  9. I can only think of one person Maynard and Catrina aresinging about:
  10. May 2025. There is no evidence Berkshire is moving in Yen. The CrYpTo boys are frantic to staunch the bleeding.
