Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

I’ve only met a few of the Epstein survivors but the ones I’ve talked to are amazingly strong. The thing that they’ve said to me, the thing that I’ve not seen reported though I’m sure someone has reported it somewhere is that they face a ton of harassment from people online.

Between this and the austerity at city hall it's nihilism only from here on out.

The median ticket price for Sunday’s Super Bowl is $7,497.

I don’t even want to know what a beer costs.

But even if you want to go to a regular-season sporting event, tickets and concession prices will cost you a small fortune.

Here’s one thing we can do about it.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 β€” mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

The Alberta separatist leader says they don't want to pay Federal taxes and the fools think the USA won't want taxes/payments for helping them.
In 2024 Alberta received $1646 per person in Federal transfers. Of that Alberta contributed about $250.
Those transfers don't

Minnesota CEOs Cry Crocodile Tears Over ICE - The American Prospect Executives who lobbied for Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which enabled the immigration terror in their state, now

CEOs of Minnesota companies, including Target and Hormel, say they're pushing against ICE's occupation.

But their industry trade groups actively lobbied for Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which boosted ICE's budget by $75B.

Corporate America will not save us.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call β€œsymbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to β€œrun” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
