Most current events aren't worth commenting on because they were in fact devised as material for commentary.

I knew there would be a reasonable explanation. Burglars are obsessed with employment and enrollment documentation. Everyone knows this. Unless you're a racist.
🤔 A manager at Nokomis Daycare Center in Minneapolis reported that someone broke into the facility and stole all of their documents. Why would someone want a daycares documents?

You don’t hate the media enough.
🚨OMG — MSNBC just said the shooter might have been "a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration." WHAT?! The Fake News is blaming MAGA already. Shameful.

CNN’s Erin Burnett, to Zohran Mamdani tonight: “Do you like capitalism?” Mamdani: “No. I have many critiques of capitalism.”

Never forget the same assholes who lectured you about “Rule of Law” and “No One Is Above The Law” are the same assholes violating immigration law and rioting to stop law enforcement from enforcing the law.

Larry Ellison on what made Steve Jobs great “Steve was my best friend for about 25 years. We were neighbors in Woodside and his peacock wandered onto my property and woke me up. His girlfriend had given him a peacock and I came over to complain.” Steve replied: “You don’t like that bird either?” Larry recalls how Steve made him watch 73 different versions of Toy Story: “I said I’m not coming over if you make me watch Toy Story again… Now I know the new version is 4% better than the one I saw last week, but I’m not watching this thing again. And he’d say: ‘Larry, you won’t believe how different the shadows look.’ But that was Steve. Until it was perfect. And then once it was perfect, he moved onto the next problem.” Larry believes obsessing over a product until it was perfect was a huge part of what made Steve Jobs great: “If you want to know you’re like Steve Jobs, it’s very simple. You’re unable to think about anything other than serious problems at work. That’s all you can do, and you obsess about it until you solve it. And then you move on to the next thing. And you obsess about that until you solve it… If you have that kind of obsession combined with Picasso’s aesthetic and Edison’s inventiveness, then you are the next Steve Jobs.” He continues: “Apple became the most valuable company on earth and it wasn’t even one of Steve’s goals. He wasn’t trying to be rich. He wasn’t trying to be famous. He wasn’t trying to be powerful. He was obsessed with the creative process and building something beautiful.” Video source: @WSJ (2012)

I am proud to live in America, where I can call anyone, including and especially politicians, "professional morons." It's a fabulous descriptor that extends far beyond politicians. Let's start with the Bavarian police: "professional morons." Free Speech. Everywhere Forever.
A man in Bavaria had his house raided by police after retweeting a meme mocking German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck, calling him a "professional moron." In other news, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) took 2nd in today's national election. brusselssignal.eu/2024/11/ge…

Physicists in 1900 basically accepted the Newtonian model of the universe. The only troubling anomaly was that Mercury, as it came into view in its journey around the sun, appeared to be in the “wrong” place. How was this possible? After much discussion brilliant scientists concluded that it “appeared” to be closer to the sun because the sun’s gravity was bending light rays reflecting off of Mercury on their way to earth. This defied all the “settled science” embraced by classical physicists. It was to them heresy essentially, because by implication it would mean that energy and matter were interchangeable. Indeed a young physicist named Albert Einstein created the most famous equation in history, formulating that exact relationship: e=mc(squared). The longwinded point I’m trying to make is that throughout history the most minor anomalies are often windows into a completely different understanding of the world. Which brings me to my point. This event where armed officers took a pet squirrel from an individual in New York opens a Pandora’s box of the horrors of leftist tyranny. The facts of the incident are disturbing enough: an anonymous instigator over 1000 miles away reported a humble man who had rescued a wounded squirrel and made a pet of him for years. The informer’s motives in doing so can only be guessed, but the owner of the pet had made the horrific mistake in today’s America of supporting conservative thought. A cadre of armed officials got a search warrant, rummaged through the man’s property for five hours, illegally questioned his wife about her immigrant status, ultimately seizing the pet and killing it without giving the owner any recourse to save its life. Now let’s take a look at the universe in which this macabre horrid little leftist “comedy” took place. In a nation overrun by tens of millions of illegal aliens, crushed by rampant crime and gang warfare, enduring a $35 trillion deficit, soul-crushing inflation, a culture of infanticide and child mutilation, sexual dysphoria, and insanity, and waging illegal lawfare against candidates of another party, New York State spent a full day killing a squirrel, that had been a harmless pet cherished by its owner for literally years. The event in and of itself was just an act of petty cruelty. As a window into a larger universe, however, it is a fissure in the mantle of our world, signaling a cataclysmic eruption that may well end this nation. The tsunami of rage coming from ordinary and loving individuals was quite frankly astonishing. Has America in the hands of the lunatic left become a powder keg about to explode? Will the power-hungry Democrats and their media minions spew enough hatred that even the most gentile among us will finally say ENOUGH? Does 87,000 newly minted and armed IRS agents offer you comfort or fill you with terror? Are you sick of this yet?

Every terminator sequel after T2 has canceled out the messaging from that film, one of the best sequels of all time. An actual good post T2 sequel film would have been set in the future between 1 & 2 and involved the John Connor operation to steal the T-800 he reprogrammed & sent back in T2. Only way it could have worked.
James Cameron says future ‘TERMINATOR’ films will not include any iconography or characters from past films. “You get too inside it & then you lose a new audience because the new audience care much less about that stuff than you think they do” (Source: empireonline.com/movies/news…)

In 2020, the FCC secured a commitment from Starlink to offer high-speed Internet to 640,000 rural locations for $1,300 per location in federal support. After revoking that award in 2023, the government is now spending in the ballpark & upwards of $100,000 per location in cases.

Unrealized capital gains 101: You bought 100 shares of Zoom stock in Jan 2020 for $75 per share Ends year at $350 per share but you didn’t sell giving you an unrealized gain $27.5k Under Kamala’s plan you owe $6,875 in taxes (25% of $27.5k) But you didn’t sell so you don’t have the cash. you pay taxes out of savings You continue to hold until August 2024. Finally sell for $60 per share You LOST $1,500 on the stock PLUS you paid the taxes on the $27.5k of “gains” you never actually received since they evaporated The initial tax proposal is only targeting $100M but that’s just the start. It opens the gates to lower the threshold whenever they choose Before you know it every person who owns a stock is paying this tax People stop buying stocks. Companies have less capital to invest into new products and develop technology Economy tanks. Jobs lost What a joyful future

Actually it’s thank you Marina Medvin and every other US taxpayer. And you’re not welcome, you entitled freeloader. I worked my a$$ off for my income before it was taken from me by threat through the US tax system and redistributed to loser louses like you. I was poor and took out loans for my education. Then I worked. And I saved my money and lived a low key life and paid off all my loans like a responsible adult. My sense of personal responsibility wasn’t rewarded by my government— it was laughed at. Because not only did I pay off my loans, I’m also now paying off this loser’s loans. Gross. FJB and every scumb@g who supports a public louse system.
