RFK, JR.’S IMPACT: Popular Fast-Food Chain Removing Microwaves From All Its Restaurants.
HERE’S A REVIEW OF THE Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0. “Smith & Wesson revamped its Bodyguard 380 and may have created the best handgun in that caliber.
Here are my thoughts.

THEY WON’T LET YOU? No water or electricity, and children begging in streets filled with rubbish – but this is why I won’t leave Cuba. “In the pit of an economic slump, the island has gone from being run-down and picturesque to a horror show. The economy contracted by 11% between 2019 and 2024, with a further 5% fall through September 2025. Rubbish fills the streets, picked over by burgeoning bands of beggars. Rolling power cuts rack the island, spoiling the little food people have in their fridges, and making it hard to sleep. Anyone who protests is met with authoritarian force.”

BARACK OBAMA IS A BIG, FAT LIAR:
I get angry a lot when I hear Democrats lie, but I'm not sure I've ever been angrier than over the below video clip.
No one in the history of the USA has purposely caused more hateful division in America than Barack Obama.

OSTRACISM USED TO BE THE SOLE PURVIEW OF THE LEFT: Hegseth ends military education at Harvard, citing ‘Hate America’ activism. “Pete Hegseth announced the Pentagon will end professional military education and fellowship programs at Harvard in 2026–27, citing anti-Semitism, DEI ideology, and alleged ties to U.S. adversaries like the CCP. He also said the department will review graduate programs nationwide to ensure taxpayer dollars support institutions aligned with military readiness and critical thinking.”

HISTORY FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH: My Nigerian Grandfather Sold Slaves. “Nwaubani Ogogo lived in a time when the fittest survived and the bravest excelled. The concept of ‘all men are created equal’ was completely alien to traditional religion and law in his society. It would be unfair to judge a 19th Century man by 21st Century principles. Assessing the people of Africa’s past by today’s standards would compel us to cast the majority of our heroes as villains, denying us the right to fully celebrate anyone who was not influenced by Western ideology.”
There’s a mythology that white slave traders ran around the bush kidnapping Africans, but that’s bunk, of course — they’d pretty much all have died. They bought African slaves from Africans. My brother talked to people in Ghana about that some years ago, and they reflected little guilt: Back then if you lost a war, you either died or were enslaved. That’s just how it worked.
One of the reasons Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon couldn’t get published when she wrote it was that the black literary community didn’t like that it portrayed the extent of African complicity in slavery. But history is history, despite efforts to rewrite it.

He’s de-Dilbertized an entire profession. “That’s not just a business achievement. That’s a civilization remembering how to make things that matter in the physical world again. And it might be the only thing that saves American technological leadership when the competition is just building faster because they never forgot.”
IT’S FRAUD ALL THE WAY DOWN:
I find it fascinating that 75% of Democrat voters want Voter ID laws, but 100% of Democrat elites are against it.
The elites know the entire system is rigged, but Democrat voters actually think they’re winning these elections.
Going to be a rude awakening when they realize…
