How about we pass a law that says if the house and senate don't pass a budget and shut the gov down, then they all immediately term out.


Tell me with a straight face that Boomers don’t completely run this country.

Here's a Manhattan Project for you: find a place with good inland geography for overland transit links, blast a harbor into the rock, and build a brand-new port that will never be touched by union hands

every moment that the ports of oakland and LA remain shitty analog human scale, 9-5 & closed on weekends, instead of a fully automated alien behemoth running around the clock is prosperity stolen from you and your country by unions and regulations. it’s embarrassing

Why hasn’t Ukraine attempted to kill Putin? Feels like if you want this war to end that’s the easiest way. They can’t be worried about blowback as Russia has already made attempts on Zelensky.

Genuinely curious how Putin will get to Budapest.

Wow, it’s almost like making unlimited federal loans available for universities allowed them to continually raise prices with no responsibility

Santa Clara is one of the first law schools to publish 2026-27 tuition. Historically, Grad PLUS loans have had no limits. Starting next year, professional school borrowing will be capped at $50k/year. Notice anything about the trend in tuition? I expect many schools to copy this.

Tasking Hamas with security in Gaza, as Israel withdraws, is dangerous, very dangerous. The price to remove Hamas one more time, will be "more expensive."


There will never be a peace of equals with Hamas.

The Israelis who booed Netanyahu went about their day. The Gazans who protested Hamas were summarily executed. They are not the same and never will be.

Imagine creating a product so bad that people would prefer to pay $40,000 to use a competitor rather than using yours for free That’s public school in a nutshell

1.) $40K a year school 2.) we, as a culture, need to get over weird school shit. you're not Morrissey. you cannot hold onto 'I had to ask to go to the bathroom in third grade' for your entire life and you certainly cannot make it your politics.

The battles in Syria, Gaza, South Yemen, Darfur, Nigeria, and European cities, are all connected by jihadists. Try to think about it deeply.


You have to choose between 1) a financial asset bubble followed by a recession 2) a recession which drags down financial assets

Home owning boomers hate you and your growing family. They got theirs, now F U. The only solution is to unleash our ability to build in this country again. Slash the permitting red tape. Eliminate the parking requirements. Upzone everything.

This is a main reason why Western economies struggle: the growth of bureaucracy and regulation. An increasing number of people are employed in compliance roles to oversee obedience, yet they cannot be utilized productively. They are here to prevent, not to enable.

Remember, kids: Qatar is basically just one city, Doha, where 300,000 Muslim Arabs are served by 2 million semi-enslaved foreign serfs from India, Indonesia, & Egypt. It depends entirely on oil/gas exports of $120 billion/year, mostly to China, Japan, South Korea, & Singapore.…

If public schools are so great, school choice shouldn’t scare the teachers’ unions.


This is who the West is up against.

In a hot-mic conversation between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin captured by the Chinese-state media broadcaster CCTV prior to yesterday’s celebration and military parade in Beijing, the two leaders can be heard discussing human organ transplants and the…
