So... In a shocking twist... It turns out Democrats are lying about the screwworm issue. Screwworm prevention programs are still going strong, but the issue is in 2022 screwworms were able to cross the Darien Gap due to the massive amount of unvetted migration north trying to reach America. x.com/JettPlain9/status/2062…

So… democrats are trying to spin the end of the Iranian war because now the one major talking point they have had, high gas prices, are likely to erode. As we come into the MidTerms, gas prices will be falling like a rock. Will the peace accord with the Iranians hold? Anyone’s guess. Iran has a long history of telling us what we want to hear and doing something else. But, from the sound of it, Iran will be held by their regional neighbors which will make it much more difficult for them to misbehave. Hopefully, this opens them up to western trade and economic activity, as well as presents their citizens with an opportunity to live in freedom.

Today you're probably going to hear a lot about screwworm and how "DOGE caused screwworm to enter the US again!" Here are the facts: 1966: The US eradicates the screwworm via the Sterile Insect Technique. Multiple central American nations follow suit over the coming decades. 1994: The US and Panama form COPEG, the Panama-United States Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of Screwworm that successfully created a biological barrier for screwworm at the Darién Gap. It held for decades until... 2023: Screwworm cases breach the Darién Gap and surge in Central America March 2025: DOGE cuts $250m in funding to the UN fund that was, in part, used for screwworm monitoring in Central America. (Note: These cuts did not affect the USDA's screwworm Sterile Insect Production nor the COPEG.) Summer 2025: Trump's USDA allocates $850m in funding to novel methods of screwworm eradication and a new sterile fly production facility in Texas as part of a 5 pronged approach with dealing with the emerging threat. Summer 2026: Screwworm detected in Texas. In summary: The only thing DOGE's UN funding cut could have possibly done is reduced our visibility into the reach of screwworm inside Central America, but given that the US just months later started a massive screwworm initiative suggests DOGE's cuts had effectively no negative effect.

For the record: Anyone calling Ken Paxton a “pedo protector” is lying and weaponizing a young boy’s s*xual abuse to advance their politics. Here are the facts: -In June 2025, Adam Hoffman was on trial for continuous s*x abuse of a child. OAG had 2 experienced prosecutors on the case. -This young child courageously testified to the horrific things that were done to him, which was severely traumatic for him. -The trial ended up in a hung jury, with 7 voting to convict and 5 voting not to. -The OAG prosecutors sought a retrial, wanting justice for the victim. -Understandably, the victim & his mother did not wish to endure the traumatic experience of testifying again. -The prosecution could have either: legally forced the family to comply in a new trial, which would be heartless, or seek as severe a punishment as they could without their key witness, which included jail time. -They did what was in the best interest of the child. Anyone trying to use this story against KEN PAXTON himself is simply using a young child’s abuse and trauma for political gain, and THAT is DISGUSTING.

This is the single most important chart. If AI were driving prices, you'd see a cluster top-right. You don't. States with huge load growth (VA, TX, NV, ND, IA) sit at ~0c change in 5y. States with massive price hikes (CA, NY, MA, CT) have basically NO load growth.

These are the people calling themselves experts. My timeline is full of references to my hometown. Dime Box, Texas. I am extremely proud of the very rural community I grew up in; I often bring it up in general conversation just because it is fun to watch peoples face when I say I am from a town called Dime Box. I grew up on my family ranch. Yet this person claims to know for a fact that Mississippi (where I have never lived a day in my life) is my home state. Yes, I often point out data that shows Mississippi as an example against other states, especially in the light that most people will argue about how bad Mississippi is in a certain category. A large part of my scholarly work was spent focusing on state-to-state data variations. My favorite aspect of America is that we essentially have 50 individual economies and policy havens by which to compare and contrast particular policy and datapoints. How does a change in one state compare to a non-change or another change in other states. If one state enacts this law, how do people there react vs another state that did not enact the same law. I used to publish a Best to Worst State ranking yearly, but unfortunately, I have not had time in the last few years to compile this data and run the analysis. But what we do know is that certain states are viewed in poor regard by some Americans, especially those on the left. Californians for example tend to be very uppity about the quality of their state vs that hick in the south. So, its hilarious to pull data and show those states are outperforming California, and often by a good margin.

I sorted 50 states into data center intensity quintiles. States with the highest datacenter energy share (Q5) VA, TX, NV, IA, OR, AZ... collectively have the lowest and slowest rising mean residential energy prices

The people upset about data centers are likely the same people who were upset about textile factories in the early 1900’s. Or who would have been saying cars are worse than horses.

Activists want data centers STOPPED. The centers "use resources like a madman!” “Yes, they are resource-intensive," says @paigelambermont of @ceidotorg, "but so are most productive things we’ve done in human history." Myths about data centers in my video:

Lynn Davenport (@lynnsdavenport) claims to be Republican while posting her vote for Democrats. She was endorsed by the teachers’ union when she ran for office The “Republicans against school choice” are fake Republicans! @DonHuffines has been right about her for a long time!

Like every Texan, I am deeply concerned about the alarming Islamification of Texas. I fully expect the Texas Legislature to make this issue a priority in the upcoming session. But the Texas Railroad Commission, the agency charged with regulating the oil and gas industry, has no authority to make any policy that would affect this issue. French seems unaware that the Texas oil and gas industry is strictly governed by the laws of the State of Texas and of the United States – not by Sharia law or any laws or rulings from the State of Delaware. Bo is also confused about the constitutional authority of the position he is seeking and the work of the Railroad Commission. He seems to think he is running for the State Legislature.

Apparently to @BladeoftheS labor has no value and is therefore economically free. Because the entire post is about saving on the cost of labor, and then the reply is only about the value of the commodity used in making the repair, not the labor required to perform said repair.

A public school employee who applied for a TEFA account agreed to talk to the Chronicle but wouldn’t let them use their name for fear of retaliation by the school system. Tells you what you need to know about the politics of the people running our schools.

That man could throw it clear over those mountains.

LASER

Give that man a brush!! Cuz he’s painting

And yet gas was still more expensive than it is today…
