DON SURBER: Saudis will build nuclear reactors: The only question is if they are built by Westinghouse or Red China. Democrats don’t want Westinghouse to land the contract.

Well, to be fair, Democrats work for the CCP now, not American.

THE 21ST CENTURY IS NOT TURNING OUT AS I’D HOPED:

The feud between Africans and black Americans has produced some of the funniest intra-race racist material I have ever seen.

TEACH WOMEN NOT TO RAPE — AND, ER, WHATEVER THE HELL ELSE THIS IS: Teacher accused of ‘Scream’ mask orgies with students finally gets divorced. “Brittany Fortinberry, 33 — who was hit with nearly 50 charges in the disturbing underage group sex case — and her husband, Nicholas Fortinberry, finalized their divorce Monday, according to TMZ. . . . Fortinberry is accused of plying students as young as 13 with alcohol and magic mushrooms before having sex with them, according to prosecutors. In at least one incident, she allegedly had the boys wear masks from the “Scream” movie franchise, according to police.”

NO. NEXT QUESTION? Can Abdul el Sayed be trusted with intelligence community secrets?

To be fair, these days I’m not sure the intelligence community can be trusted with that stuff.

WELL, THAT’S NO FUN: SSRI Victorians Have No Penises or Vaginas.

Despite the claims that Gen Zers aren’t having sex, the hookup scene out our campus bars in Knoxville seems undiminished. These NYT “trend” stories don’t generally stem from the normal-American community.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

MOVE THE OBSERVATORIES TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON, LIKE GOD AND ROBERT HEINLEIN INTENDED. Massive space mirrors could be 40 times brighter than the full moon, astronomers warn. ‘It will be worse than big cities like London’.

JUST ANOTHER INSTALLMENT IN TRUMP’S ANACONDA STRATEGY:

It’s the Venezuelan dividend.

Take out the brutal dictator who turned a prosperous nation that pumped money out of the ground into a wretched impoverished third world hellhole. Welcome Venezuela back. Cut China and Cuba off from a cheap oil source.

The other part. No accident… https://t.co/2K7RZscSQC

Trump wages financial war on his opponents, and Scott Bessent is his financial Patton, Marco Rubio his diplomatic Eisenhower.

It’s funny that this came out right after Canada walked away from the trade deal.

TEACHING ABOUT MARXISM IS FINE. WHAT YOU TEACH ABOUT MARXISM MATTERS, THOUGH. University of Pittsburgh curriculum features several classes on Marxism, including class on ‘racialized police violence’ and racial capitalism.

JEFFREY CARTER: The Slow Motion Trainwreck Everyone Paying Attention Saw Coming: Brightline Is In the Red. ““The Brightline case is a cautionary tale about the risks of investing in large-scale infrastructure projects. Even with strong political backing and a growing Florida economy, the economics of passenger rail are unforgiving. For investors, the key takeaway is that bond insurance does not guarantee full recovery; it simply shifts the priority of claims.”

Everybody likes the idea of taking the train, but not enough people want to shell out money to do so.
