Everyone should unequivocally condemn the government-imposed racial discrimination Obama is pushing! Obama makes three errors in one post, all of them philosophical. First, the United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The purpose of the Constitution is to protect individual rights from the majority, not to ensure "equal participation in our democracy." The Founders designed the system specifically to prevent what Obama is demanding: unlimited majority rule. Second, "protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach" sounds correct until you examine the premise. Rights belong to individuals, not groups. The moment you define rights by racial group membership, you have adopted the same collectivist framework that produced the discrimination you claim to oppose. Jim Crow categorized people by race and assigned rights accordingly. Modern voting rights activism does the same thing with different beneficiaries. Both are collectivism. Third, gerrymandering is a problem created entirely by the system Obama wants to preserve: a political structure where the drawing of district lines determines outcomes. His solution is not to fix the structure. It is to ensure his side draws the lines. The government must treat every citizen equally before the law. Everyone should reject Obama's framing entirely. He is not defending individual rights. He is defending group power, while using the language of rights to make collectivism sound like liberty.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

California's $2.2 billion solar plant is shutting down. Once hailed as a breakthrough, the Ivanpah Solar Facility in the Mojave Desert is now a case study in failed technology and environmental risk. Built with $1.6 billion in federal loans in 2014, the plant was hailed as a symbol of America's clean energy future. It used 173,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto three massive towers heating fluid to drive steam turbines. Complicated. Expensive. And it never delivered on its promise. After just 11 years, the technology is now obsolete. On top of that, the facility became notorious for its environmental toll, with estimates of at least 6,000 birds incinerated each year by the concentrated beams. The promise was affordable, reliable, green power. The reality was high costs, technical failures and ecological damage.

Serious question, what is the target audience you are trying to reach with this post? Do you honestly think that there exists anyone who will see this post, who hasn't seen your Disney bubble wand picture? Or, even worse, do you think we'll just forget you skipped town during a DHS shutdown for Disneyworld, and clap like seals because you're shooting skeet? How stupid are you, and how much more stupid do you think we are?

Actual was 24.3 mpg on this 6 cylinder Tacoma. Wonder how much better it would be with a bed topper?

I'm sick of it, too. I'm about to start blocking all the big accounts that spend too much time bashing other conservative accounts and any other account that continues to give them clicks.

If you read just one thing today....
Please read this article. It’s not vanity. Mr. Konrad cleared a lot of questions up not just about Ryan Evans and WOTR’s behavior, but also about a lot of struggles I’ve been having about myself. It’s genuinely one of the most thought-provoking articles I’ve had the honor to preview.

I paid $3.65 for a tank of gas last week in NM. The Iran situation has increased it to $3.06 as of today.

Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.” “Well, AI is coming for the coders.” “It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.” “In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.” “The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?” “I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.” “These are our submarines. Things go hypersonic, a little sideways with China, Taiwan, our aircraft carriers are no longer the point of the spear. They’re vulnerable.” “Our submarines matter, and these guys have a pinch point because they can’t find welders and electricians to get them built.” “The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.” “Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.” “There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”

Starting the smoker when it's 15 degrees outside was a challenge, but the brisket is smoking and the neighbors are wondering if they should call the fire department.
