Every business owner knows: 99% of your clients are amazing and cause only 1% of your problems. And 1% of your clients are brutal and cause 99% of your problems.
Hasan Piker: “Trans people are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. Muslims are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. It’s not a Guatemalan migrant that made your housing more expensive. It’s your landlord, it’s hedge funds buying out all of these homes and rising up their prices. A transgender person is not the reason your energy costs are skyrocketing. It’s the wars we’re waging, the data centers sucking up the energy needs. This is just the truth”

I can tell this will become an annual lament for me: the “trunk and treat” is a degraded, uncivilized, atomized replacement for actually going around to your neighbors’ houses and interacting with them on Halloween. Horrible development in American life.

UNDERCOVER: GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THE DSA IS "GOING TO BE DOMINANT" AND "MAINSTREAM" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
"The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that."
That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire.
Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies":
"No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently."
"You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."

Robert Reich in 2025: Trump is a fascist dictator for even suggesting that a company be taken over by the government and for telling a CEO what to do.
Robert Reich in 2026: SpaceX and Starlink must be taken over by the government.
Small man, giant fraud.

Seattle Public Schools:
94,000+ kids in 1964.
50,000 and less today.
Deficits of $90M-$130M a year.
Even the superintendent calls part of the decline "self-inflicted."
Families voted with their feet.
The budget never got the memo.

Bwhahahaha.
FINE DINING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dined at The Cheesecake Factory today and called out Barack Obama for his HIDEOUS library saying that it "looks like Darth Vader’s tomb."
Bessent ate the French dip cheeseburger and explained to Fox Business that the "Martha’s Vineyard set" should try it.

Stunning admission by California during yesterday’s Ninth Circuit hearing.
California admitted they do nothing to check the citizenship status of voters and will count the illegal ballots of noncitizens who vote. This is why we’re seeking an emergency order. We cannot allow California to dilute legal votes in the upcoming election.
Judge: You agree that if a non-citizen votes and we don’t stop it now, that vote will be counted, correct?
California: That’s absolutely correct.

What does any of this even mean?
I'm serious. What Nazi adjacent shit?
What does he mean by the 1945 reference?
I keep asking for people to be specific because I want people to say, directly, what they mean.
So. What, specifically, does any of this even mean?
John Oliver: “It does feel that the Republican Party has been getting way too comfortable with some, at best, Nazi-adjacent sh*t.”
“Nazis getting power doesn’t historically bode well for anyone, including, for what it’s worth, Nazis, who didn’t exactly have the best 1945.”

Breaking: First Assistant US DOJ Attorneys for Washington state, Neil Floyd and Pete Serrano, announce that investigators have found over 400 cases of noncitizens voting in state and federal elections.
The DOJ prosecutors claim that WA state is refusing to cooperate and hand over voter rolls. They believe the number of noncitizens voting is much higher — in the thousands.

About 20 years ago I had a friend who was South African. She was gorgeous and funny and kind. She came to America on a travel Visa. She could not get her visa extended (she desperately tried all avenues.)
She wept the day she left the USA and I’ll never forget what she told me: “I must leave so I can get the opportunity to come back to the USA in the future and become a citizen!”
THAT is who we want to become an American.
Someone who respects our laws and our way of life.
