FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: The FDA knows this popular decongestant doesn’t work—so why is it still legal?
It’s a distraction from the fact that Sudafed — which actually works — got put behind the counter, allegedly to protect us from meth. How’s that worked?
MENTALLY ILL THEATER KIDS SHOULD STAY OUT OF POLITICS:
Luigi Mangione should be allowed to execute American civilians with zero consequences but Trump removing Maduro is Le “War Crime”
The left is a joke. Nobody cares what you idiots think anymore. https://t.co/wFXwRIRkdy pic.twitter.com/xneiRPESZ8

Whatever it is, the “solutions” will involve higher taxes, expanded government, more regulation, censorship, and worse standards of living for normal people. The solutions are always the same, only the crises change.
NOT BAD BUT NEEDS ANOTHER ZERO OR TWO, OR THREE. After 5 years, teachers falsely accused of Jan. 6 ‘insurrection’ get $120,000 in damages.

THIS MAKES SENSE, AND EXPLAINS WHY WE HAVE SO MANY BATMAN VILLAINS IN POLITICS NOW.
CHAT GPT SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE PROFESSORS ON THE INTERNATIONAL LAW PROFESSORS EMAIL LIST:
I asked ChatGPT & Grok whether it was a crime for Trump to arrest Maduro (a common & important question today)
ChatGPT said yes:
– falsely assumed that Maduro was legitimately elected
– defaulted to referencing the UN charter and "international experts"
– has an anti-American… https://t.co/nrv98JmKmi pic.twitter.com/zQGg0tWPIP— Arthur MacWaters (@ArthurMacwaters) January 4, 2026
THE PROBLEM IS ALWAYS JUST THAT TRUMP IS DOING IT:
I was told the problem was that we were killing narcoterrorists rather than using force to detain and prosecute them.
Turns out detaining and prosecuting them wasn’t acceptable either.

most political issues nowadays can be explained by understanding that american leftists dont have positions, they have oppositions.

JOHN LUCAS: American Credibility Restored (Again). “The undeniable and unmatched military competence, combined with the maintenance of no-leak operational security, resulted in ZERO U.S. fatalities and ZERO aircraft lost. . . . The contrast between Trump’s decisive action and the empty words, inaction, and incompetence of prior Administrations was inescapable.”
OPEN THREAD: Party on.
ONE DOUBTS THE VENEZUELAN SOLDIERY IS HIGHLY MOTIVATED.
Someone told me once that air forces are not made up of planes and missiles. They are made up of people. Had that stuff been in the hands of the Israeli air force it might have worked.

INJECTING RANDOM SUBSTANCES INTO YOUR BODY MIGHT HAVE CONSEQUENCES? GO FIGURE. Tattoos Affect Your Immune System in Ways We’re Only Beginning to Understand. “Tattoos are generally considered safe, but growing scientific evidence suggests tattoo inks are not biologically inert. The key question is no longer whether tattoos introduce foreign substances into the body, but how toxic those substances might be and what that means for long-term health.”
Given how many tatted-up people are walking around, any impacts must be minor, subtle, or long-term.

DISAPPOINTING: Our Yearlong Review Mazda CX-70 Has Left Us. We Are Not Sad. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it: After a year behind the wheel, the Mazda CX-70 wasn’t what I expected at the beginning of its loan. It ended up being one of the worst long-term vehicles I’ve chaperoned during my time at MotorTrend.”
Ouch.
