BLUESKY IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE FLEEING BECAUSE THERE’S NOT ENOUGH CENSORSHIP ON X: “BlueSky is nothing more than complete and total anti-Trump pathological madness, in addition to a plethora of weird anime, topped with a heaping scoop of degeneracy. Far from its corporate media-advertised depiction as a place for joy and friendly conversation. BlueSky is a safe space for seething left-wingers to engage exclusively with their political allies and to rage at their perceived enemies.”
I’m happy to have them concentrated where I don’t have to see them.
I THINK WE ALREADY DID KNOW THIS: Study Finds Potential Downside to Vigorous Exercise That We Didn’t Know About. “Bad news for any extreme exercise junkies out there: excessive vigorous exercise could muffle your immune system. At least, that’s what a 2023 study analyzing over 4,700 post-exercise fluid molecules from firefighters suggests.”
20 YEARS IN THE MILITARY ISN’T GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE, I GUESS.

NEWSFLASH: The Pentagon is full of people with decades of “government experience” and they just failed their 7th audit in a row.

GOVERNMENT IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR THE THINGS WE CHOOSE TO DO TOGETHER:
The roommate of Laken Riley's killer just testified during his trial that they went to the Roosevelt Hotel together in September 2023 and received a taxpayer funded flight to Georgia.

PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: FL CFO Sends Warning Letter to Banks Over Activists Trying to Restrict Financing. “Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis issued a warning to major U.S. banks, criticizing a campaign led by more than 100 activist organizations aiming to restrict financial services to meat and dairy businesses.”
“Activist” organizations need some lessons in accountability.

WE ARE RULED BY INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT MORONS: Behold the Red Sea Clown Show. “Just read all the above again and wonder—what exactly is being done with your tax dollars and money borrowed in the name of children yet unborn such that the nation that claims to be the world’s premier power is vexed by a dirt poor group of rebels against an equally dirt poor nation, supported by overextended religious fanatics. . . . Having the most advanced intelligence capabilities—I think, maybe like our Navy, we’re second best now—is useless if our most senior leaders cannot understand a threat that has been fighting us for over a year.”
To be fair, much of our senior leadership is sympathetic to, or in the pay of, the Iranians, who are the Houthis’ sponsors.
DON SURBER: Unsung election hero: Greg Abbott.
And I love this: “Obama didn’t have FBI vet his nominees because the nominees were corrupt; Trump isn’t having FBI vet his nominees because the FBI is corrupt.”
WELCOME BACK: Rubio and the Return of the Monroe Doctrine.
PATRICK RUFFINI: The Realignment is Here. “The red shift was pretty much everywhere. It was bigger in cities and bigger in Latino counties, but ultimately, the cross-cutting nature of the shift showed that it was a bad environment for Democrats to be running in. . . . The Harris coalition looks more like Bob Dole’s 1996 coalition than the Obama coalition. And for the first time, the Republicans represent both low-education and low-income voters, in a thoroughgoing working class realignment. You’ll also notice that you can draw a line right around the middle of the education vote share gap and this predicts the winner in all but one election since 1996. The candidate with the lower-education coalition typically wins, which is why I argue that it’s so important for Republicans to continue to push this working class shift.”
CDR SALAMANDER: The Opportunities With Trump’s Return, with Jerry Dunleavy. “With 63 days until President Trump’s second inauguration and a new national security team lining up, what are the expected opportunities they will be looking to make an impact quickly? What should people be looking at? Where is the fruit ripe for the picking?”
