Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the rest aren’t dumb enough to actually think Elon Musk has a trillion dollars in cash waiting to be taxed. They just think their followers are dumb enough to think that. And they are.

#Bear’s punter Tory Taylor is not only 33rd in the NFL with a paltry 3.88 second hang time average, he’s also 33rd overall with zero fair catches.

Wait until the haters of Charlie Kirk find out their anger is based entirely on quotes taken out of context and flat-out lies about what he said. Cognitive dissonance will glue most of the haters to their original positions, with word-salad explanations of how they have been proven wrong yet they are really right. But some will experience unbearable sadness and deep shame over their actions this week. That's coming.

An absolutely splendid example of post-WW2, pre-Rock & Roll era youth style here, chockablock with saddle shoes, penny loafers, and cuffed up dungarees. Pop's soda shop jalopy here is a 1936 Chevy sedan. x.com/brickben/status/191361…

We traded high quality, long-lasting products for a giant rent-to-own program (replace everything every few years) run by our largest adversary. People are tired of low-cost, low-quality, made-in-China products that break down and suck. On a side note if you like clean clothes you'll love Speed Queens.

Yes it was $1400 and next month we get the dryer -$1200. The last 15 years our family has gone through 7 washers and dryer sets. Everytime they would break down or have to be replaced for other reasons, we did research and bought the warranty on them. The worst part was, no matter the price or brand, my clothes never got cleaned. So we bought a speed queen. Love it. My clothes are clean now and all parts are metal and it’s made in the USA. All my furniture is made in the USA (most - not 💯) because to get furniture that last and doesn’t break down, you have to spend money. I call your bluff.

🔥HISTORY LESSON🔥 As the Trump Tariffs are taking effect, all the “smart” people keep bringing up the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 as proof that tariffs are an inevitable path to economic disaster. Putting aside for the moment that 2025 is not 1930, if you are of a certain age you may remember the last time Smoot and Hawley were at the top of mind for America. Remember the 1993 debate on “Larry King Live” between Ross Perot and then-VP Al Gore? (I’ll link to it in the post immediately below.) The subject of the debate was the possible adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or “NAFTA.” NAFTA was a hot topic in the early ’90s, and like today a big feature of the policy debate revolved around tariff regimes (which NAFTA would roll back). Al Gore was pro-NAFTA. Ross Perot was anti-NAFTA. Perot’s position was that NAFTA would create a “giant sucking sound” that would suck manufacturing jobs out of the USA and wreak havoc on the working class. Gore’s position was that NAFTA would be a massive economic boon for America. In the debate, Gore constantly accused Perot of repeating the errors of the Smoot-Hawley Act, and in an act of smug mockery handed Perot a framed picture of Smoot and Hawley. Guess what? Perot was right. Gore was wrong. NAFTA DID create a “giant sucking sound” that sucked manufacturing jobs out of the USA and wreaked havoc on the working class. The hollowing-out of our heavy industries started well before NAFTA, but NAFTA put the decay on warp drive, and the ruined hulks of the former industrial cities of America’s heartland owe their misery to NAFTA, Al Gore and all of the rest of the “smart” class who embraced NAFTA and made it law. Remember this the next time some smarmy anti-Trump member of the self-appointed “elite" tosses Smoot-Hawley in your face, because the last time a smarmy self-appointed member of the "elite" brought up Smoot-Hawley, he was entirely wrong.
