SPRINGTIME FOR TUCKER:
Tucker's revisionism is that World War II's costs (human & monetary) helped end the British Empire… however the initial worst damage was inflicted by the US imposing "Cash & Carry" on us from 1939-1941. There was no peace with the Nazis & so we stood alone. Our finest hour. https://t.co/L1phBgpe6G

A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN BELGIUM AND TRAVELS TO PARIS FREQUENTLY SAYS THE SAME THING.
I'm French 🇫🇷.
I was born in Paris.
I spent 25 years there.But now: I don't even want to know what happens in that hellhole 💀⚰️.
Not “troubled.” Not “declining.” Not “going through a difficult period.”

SPACE JUNK, BETTER PUT UP MY UMBRELLA: The risk of space debris falling to Earth and causing deaths and is growing, experts say.
MAKES LINDSAY CLANCY LOOK LIKE A GOOD MOM: 911 call reveals concerns about well-being of 2 children found dead from starvation at home. “Authorities said May told detectives that she believed her children were dead because they did not eat. She reportedly told deputies that she knew that not feeding her children was neglectful and confirmed she had been the only one present at home and was the sole caregiver for the girls over the last few weeks.”

Robert Nozick explains socialism's attraction to intellectuals: they don't care about the "working class". Rather, they resent capitalists for earning more money than them, despite their apparently inferior merit. They're disappointed meritocrats, not suffering laborers. pic.twitter.com/b12rl8cA0h

WELL, GOOD: Ken Paxton Takes On The Bar Association. “For the majority of America’s history, lawyers didn’t need either American Bar Association imprimatur (or even a law degree) to practice law. Abraham Lincoln and Clarence Darrow never went to law school. Parallel to the New Deal, the ABA and the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) sought to cartelize the legal profession to restrict access and raise rates. Previously, self-study and apprenticeship was the path to a legal career.”

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Abdul El-Sayed Billed County Taxpayers $9,000 a Month in ‘Consulting’ Fees While Running for Senate.
Michigan’s left-wing Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed billed county taxpayers $9,000 per month in consulting fees while running for Senate, according to public records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services approved a contract to hire El-Sayed for “consulting services” on April 23, 2025, six days after El-Sayed announced he was running for Senate.
El-Sayed had previously served as director of the county health services department for two years, a post he resigned from on April 3, 2025.The contract, which extended through the end of the calendar year, stipulated that El-Sayed would be paid at a monthly rate of $9,000 for 30 hours of work—which amounts to around $300 per hour. Wayne County is run by county executive Warren Evans, a Democrat.
If I had to guess, calculating his actual hourly rate would return a divide-by-zero error.
