Is the Biden Presidential Library

an appropriate place to keep the Jack Smith files for permanent safekeeping?

Do military colleges offer distance learning?

I hope Republicans insist that Hegseth enrolls in an approved war college and that they check his report cards regularly for grades and attendance.

Are some of these certifications

being presented in and/or with the mailers they came in?

Let no man come back alive!

You know General, sometimes the men don't know when you're acting.

It's not important for them to know. It's only important for *me* to know.

Has a Bankman-Fried pardon been predicted yet?

I almost can't see Trump able to restrain himself from pardoning Sam Bankman-Fried, whose crimes were white-color and who played a key role in the acceptance of cryptocurrencies as an asset class despite the financial losses he caused.

Sam seems like he could easily be lured into joining the Trump-Musk cartel.

The U.S. government was an early Xmas present.

And little Elon has broken it already.

And like his friend little Donald, he will blame others.

Does a veblen good need to have a physical existence?

Is bitcoin a veblen good?

Are bragging rights a veblen good? If I see an unidentified aerial phenomenon have I mined a veblen good?

I never heard the term veblen good before today, and now I want to use it in every conversation.

As though the term itself has become a veblen good in my case.

A political nadir is the right time to go full-on anti-gun.

No more tiptoeing around the issue by merely calling for assault weapons bans and common sense gun laws.

State the objective boldly rather than timidly equivocating on it.

There should be fewer guns and less ammunition in the hands of the public.

There should be less firearms domestically manufactured, imported and sold into American society.

Guns seized in criminal cases should be destroyed rather than re-sold to the public, which is what is commonly done by local governments.

Incarceration doesn't need to be further emphasized. War on the "inanimate object" should be the point.

When sufficient gun violence finally convinces voters that enough is truly enough, Democrats may finally look like leaders rather than mealy-mouthed appeasers on the issue of firearms.

No more of this "I'm a gun owner too" stuff. It should consistently be guns are bad and ammunition empowers evil.

In my opinion, this is an excellent topic to beat up Trump and the Republicans with. They are nothing more than delusional apologists on this issue.

Young man of privilege, wealth. Highly educated.

Luigi Mangione is the suspected killer.

Hunter will now be harassed for Congressional testimony.

They still want to go after Joe Biden, and Hunter no longer has fifth amendment protection having received a full pardon.

If he refuses to testify, he will be pursued for contempt.

I'm no Nostradamus but I can see the future in this specific regard.
