The sun is 8 light-minutes away from the Earth - meaning if it were to disappear the sun would still shine in the sky for 8 minutes after it had vanished.
It takes 30 days for Chinese cargo ships to reach the U.S. from China.
‘Liberation day’ was 24 days ago.
stepping back from DOGE after May
Appointed temporary government employee which means he only could work until June without congressional approval. Set this up from the start to take heat off of Trump and allow Trump to seem reasonable compared to Musk when Trump ‘fires’ him in June.
RFK looking over the Autism data: The health implications are clear!
People are use to the color. Dyes get banned. People see what the food looks like without the dyes. People get weirded out over it - like the green ketchup from Sherk promotions. People eat less of it. Health improves due to people eating less (diet and food moderation ftw).
RFK claims success.
Was watching a clip from “the Crown” about how when Tony Blair was elected, people were contemplating getting rid of the monarchy due to how popular he was. Now a “Blairite” is a slur in British politics due to it’s connotation with the Iraq war debacle. Second biggest modern mistake just behind allowing the Brexit poll and just ahead of the Lib Dems propping up the Tory government.
The underlying unsaid context: “White American with White Name who never has been outside the country told to self-deport”. Yes, WHITE AMERICA it could happen to YOU!
Living expands until just beyond means, then stops. If means shrinks, like lets say someone placed massive tariffs on our main supplier of goods, then living shrinks to meet the means.
Foreigners? No. Money? Yes.
Disney used to be very anti-LGBTQ because a high percent of their revenue came from China. Then China recalculated the ticket pricing and how many “foreign” movies could be brought in. You can literally see the about-face in Disney representation of “dressing up and traveling” people as their Chinese market share decreased bit by bit.
Buy the dip scam is entering into phase 2.
Death from “old age” is more likely.
They tried. Twice. Before the election. One was even a Ukraine trained sniper - which strangely doesn’t get covered as much as the “got kicked out of the gun club” shooter.
A bunch of people who were expecting to be paid to vote for someone they were probably going to vote for anyways now learn it is “the democrats” blocking that payment. This will probably make them even more likely to vote out of spite AND save Musk a bunch of money. Good job?
except as a punishment for crime
Black owned businesses - you know what to do.
A top-two runoff system is considered democracy. A system where the two parties are just the same thing, like in North Korea, is not.
Americans consider their two parties as very flexible about what they stand for. If there is a big enough group not represent by the incumbent, the other parties’ primary will be biased towards this group.
What we saw this time around, though, was two incumbents running against each other with no room for the non-represented group to be reflected. Thus, to that group at least, it felt like there was no difference (at least in the represtation).
Those that believed that there was no difference are now finding out how much of a difference it was - and they are now yearning for another vote to fix things.
So, the question becomes: does a particular charity have a shortage of tech people working for them or a shortage of money? Which would be easier to get?
Trump: with all the port traffic drying up, let make sure it is only non-whites that loose their trucking jobs.
