For Texans who said they don't pay attention to politics: That's why you're freezing in the dark right now. Your governor didn't want to raise taxes to upgrade the electrical grid to get it onto the national grid, which would allow other states to simply divert power to you. 1/

Old Joe Biden was in his Rehoboth beach house, being harangued by senior Dems to drop out of the race, while also making phone calls to coordinate the final deal to free these hostages. How can you not love this man?

Bari Weiss and Bill Maher are such smug idiots. The unvaccinated people are keeping the rest of us from having access to a hospital when we need it. So the vaccine isn't "just about us." It's about keeping others out of the hospital.

Why I support gun liability insurance first: Because it's more doable. No 2A issue, insurance companies love new business, and we already do it for cars. Actuaries assess the risk -- if you have rifles used only for hunting, low rates. The more guns you have, the more $ you pay.
