IT’S ALWAYS SOMETHING: GPU prices are coming to earth just as RAM costs shoot into the stratosphere. “It’s not a bad time to upgrade your gaming PC. Graphics card prices in the 2020s have undulated continuously as the industry has dealt with pandemic and AI-related shortages, but it’s actually possible to get respectable mainstream- to high-end GPUs like AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 XT and 9070 series or Nvidia’s RTX 5060, 5070, and 5080 series for at or slightly under their suggested retail prices right now. This was close to impossible through the spring and summer. But it’s not a good time to build a new PC or swap your older motherboard out for a new one that needs DDR5 RAM.”

Harmeet Dhillon added, “Interesting.”
JUSTICE: DOJ cracks down on healthcare fraud in Michigan, charging three people who stole $20 million total. “The DOJ has recently focused on instances of healthcare fraud in Michigan that resulted in tens of millions of dollars stolen from Medicare, Medicaid, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan. In addition to the recent cases resulting in years-long prison sentences, another case from over a decade ago just ended with the denaturalization of a woman from Venezuela who defrauded more than $5.4 million from Medicare while in Detroit.”
ERIC FLORACK: More on the Sedition Six. “The six were carefully selected, as was the wording of the message, in an attempt to both add credibility to the message and minimize repercussions from it. If Taibbi is correct, and I do not doubt it, this operation, this setup, involved far more than just the six in the video.”
PRIORITIES: Facebook gave child porn traffickers a free pass—misgendering caught an immediate ban. “On Instagram or Facebook, misgendering a trans person resulted in an immediate ban, but trafficking child prostitution allowed 17 strikes!”
BLUE ON BLUE: ‘Guerilla’ liberals form a ‘Fight Club’ to oust Schumer after walking right into Trump’s Oval Office trap.
The ‘club’ has already begun scheming against Schumer, sources said. The mutiny comes to light following an Oval Office meeting that insiders called an ingenious plot by President Donald Trump.
Trump’s surprisingly cozy one-on-one with with the Big Apple’s mayor-elect last week was dramatically warmer than many had expected given the months of hostilities.
But a veteran GOP operative who witnessed the spectacle unfold said the meeting was a political grenade lobbed directly into Democratic ranks.
‘To be honest, I think this pours gasoline on the internal war within the Dems,’ the source told The Hill’s Julia Manchester. ‘Further forces Dems to fully embrace Mamdani and his agenda.’
The ‘political grenade’ may have already exploded, as the ‘guerrilla group’ is now planning to challenge Schumer during primaries for the 2026 midterms, particularly in Maine, Michigan and Minnesota.
‘I can think of no historical example that would compare to this level of internal caucus fear and dissension,’ Josh Orton, a Democratic strategist, told The New York Times.
The first rule of Progressive Fight Club is to leak endlessly about Progressive Fight Club.
THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO SHOW UP: The Left’s Family Problem: Marriage And Kids Cratering Among Liberal Young Adults. “Just as conservatives are marrying at higher rates, they are also more likely to have children during young adulthood. Indeed, we don’t see a large decline in the share of conservatives ages 25 to 35 who are parents from the 1990s to the present.”
Conservatives have been more likely to embrace a “family first” mindset that puts a premium on marriage and childbearing. The most recent prominent apostle on the Right for family was the late Charlie Kirk, who said that “Having a family will change your life in the best ways, so get married and have kids. You won’t regret it.” The recently assassinated founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) also told young adults that embracing “careerism and consumerism” at the expense of starting a family in your 20s is a big mistake. “Having children is more important than having a good career … my kids matter more than how many social media followers I have,” Kirk said on Fox News, just two days before he was killed.
This message isn’t just coming from TPUSA: many of the most popular podcast hosts and influencers on the Right—from Ben Shapiro and Allie Beth Stuckey to Matt Walsh and Brett Cooper—regularly deliver messages to their audiences celebrating the joys of marriage and parenthood. Meanwhile, rising stars in the broader conservative firmament, from Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary to the billionaire Lucky Palmer, are confessing that they wish they had married their wives earlier. And a growing crop of twentysomething conservative female influencers like Riley Gaines and Isabel Brown can be found celebrating young marriage and motherhood. “There’s nothing that could’ve prepared me for a love like this. God has blessed us beyond belief. Welcome to the world, sweet Margot,” Gaines recently wrote, after giving birth to her first child.
The bigger point is that the new media on the Right is building a family-first “plausibility structure” that now competes with the Left’s less-than-family-friendly messaging in the mainstream media, the Ivory Tower, and online.
And the occasional complaint about the cost of insuring a teenage boy to drive aside, the part that gets left out too often is that raising kids is a blast.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Bill Maher Needs to Swallow the Red Pill, Already. “He has moments of clarity that provide some fantastic fodder for people who are worn out by leftist lunacy in the media.

MAKE AFFORDABLE CARS AGAIN: Senate Committee to Challenge Auto-Safety Mandates That Hurt ‘Affordability.’
Senate Republicans in January plan to criticize requirements for safety technology, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms to remind drivers that a child is in the back seat, arguing they are ineffective and will unnecessarily drive up the cost of cars, according to people familiar with the situation.
They aim to head off future requirements touted by safety advocates and argue instead for advancing autonomous vehicle technology.
Chief executives of Detroit’s three automakers and a senior Tesla executive have been summoned to appear at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation—set for Jan. 14—to explain why vehicles have become so expensive. General Motors and Ford Motor are weighing whether to send their CEOs to the hearing, spokespeople said; Jeep-maker Stellantis declined to comment.
Sticker shock is hitting car buyers as the U.S. broadly faces what many consider to be a growing affordability crisis. The average price of a new vehicle hit $50,000 this fall, up from closer to $38,000 before the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, all facets of car ownership—from repairs to loans to insurance—have become costlier.

The Ultra terminal is Amazon’s largest and fastest offering to date, designed for permanent installation at fixed sites. It measures roughly 20 by 30 inches with a chassis depth of 1.9 inches and is intended for pole-mounted outdoor use. Internally, the device incorporates Amazon silicon and a full-duplex phased-array system capable of simultaneous uplink and downlink, supporting download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 400 Mbps.
Leo Ultra was one of three customer terminals shown as part of the new network push. Alongside it, Amazon previewed a mid-sized Leo Pro terminal designed for portable or vehicle-mounted use, and a compact 7-inch square Leo Nano unit rated for up to 100 Mbps. All three run on custom silicon developed by Amazon’s device teams and share the same core waveform and protocol stack.
The new hardware arrives as Amazon begins rolling out its constellation. As of November 2025, the company has launched more than 150 low-Earth orbit satellites under Project Kuiper, with multiple mass deployment launches completed since April.
Competition is great, but Leo has a lot of launches to go before it becomes truly competitive.

WEAK HORSE: Iran loses control of the Houthis.
Iran has lost control of the Houthis in Yemen and is struggling to hold together what is left of its “axis of resistance” forces around the Middle East, Iranian officials say.
The officials have described how the rebels in Yemen, who regularly attack global shipping lanes, have stopped taking orders from Tehran.
“The Houthis have gone rogue for a while and are now really rebels,” a senior Iranian official told The Telegraph from Tehran. “They do not listen to Tehran as much as they used to.”
The official added: “It’s not just the Houthis – some groups in Iraq are also acting as if we never had any contact with them.”
The Houthis are Iran’s last remaining significant proxy force after Israel destroyed Hezbollah’s top command and what remains of Hamas was cut off by the siege of Gaza.
Oh, no… anyway.
