NOW THEY TELL US: Alzheimer’s Might Not Actually Be A Brain Disease.
I should note, though, that the beta-amyloid focus wasn’t a “rut.” It was malfeasance.
MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY IS THOUGHTS ON THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL: Trump 2.0 is a Wrecking Ball. And he’s wrecking the right stuff.

It’s impossible to overstate how much winning President Trump has done in just the last few days.
– One Big Beautiful Bill passed.
– Decimated Iran’s nuclear facilities followed by an immediate ceasefire.
– Judicial coup ended.
– Record high stock markets.

YES. AS I’VE NOTED, “DRILL, BABY, DRILL” IS THE UNDERLYING FACTOR IN TRUMP’S MIDEAST PEACE PLANS WORKING: Fracking Is America’s (Not So) Secret Weapon. “America’s shale revolution and ascension to the world’s largest oil and natural gas producer has made one fact abundantly clear: energy security is national security. No longer are geopolitical and national security decisions held hostage to the threat of energy price spikes. Because of oil from Texas and natural gas from Appalachia, Americans aren’t facing the energy supply shocks that were once guaranteed to follow rising Middle East tensions.”

The first six months of Trump’s presidency has been the best six months any president has had in my life. It’s transformative & historic on a level none of us 50 & younger have ever seen. Trump 2025 is far more impactful than Trump 2021 would have been. Panic setting in with Dems
