Why are EV cars dominating in nations like Norway and China? In Norway's case the gov has created massive tax incentives which drive purchasing behavior. Rather heavy handed. China wants to take over the world's supply of EV cars and heavily subsidizes the cost of such at home. Where Gas Cars Are Already Extinct World Population Review Sept 2, 2026 From Norway's near-total switch to China's 44-million-ev fleet. Something quietly historic happened in 2025: one in four new car

The Gipper famously loved Milt Friedman. Milt is gone, but his protégé, Thomas Sowell, is very much alive. Maybe my favorite living economist. Overflowing with common sense. This was recorded ten years ago. Boy, did he nail it, and it's still spot on.

Homan's managed to keep ICE off center stage. Is he crushing? Nope. They're still messing with gainfully employed folks who aren't a threat to anybody and should probably be left alone. There is massive room for improvement. How Tom Homan’s no-drama deportations trounced Kristi Noem’s flash By Rich Lowry, NY Post Published Sep. 2, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET Where does Tom Homan go to get his apology?

Said Illinois' Gov yesterday, "Don't even think about tazing me, it won't penitrate my soft protective barrier". On a side note, the Spritzler family is proud of their distant relative Kyle, although we're slightly offended that he chose to Americanize his name. The surprising reasons why Tasers didn’t stop crazed Times Square stabber By Kyle Schnitzer, NY Post Published Sep. 1, 2026, 6:58 p.m. ET The maniac who stabbed two people, killing one, in Times Square was likely able

Usually the incumbent party loses seats during the midterms, especially when the Commander and Chief's approval ratings are low. This time might be different because the alternative is the narrative of the progressive left. Polling has become increasingly difficult and unreliable as independent/conservative voters are more reluctant to participate in polls (and have screening features on their phones/email/etc). Everyone Makes Mistakes, Especially Pollsters Two firms appear t

Think Mayor Brandon is a joke? Lead the City off the cliff? The Black community (& some White progessives) elected this idiot. Vallas the other main candidate would have been a far better choice. The great irony is the $600 million plus given to illegals was literally taken out of the pockets of Chicago's African American & legal minority community who could have used those funds for eduction, job training etc. Minorities might want to rethink this approach and elect someone

Generally speaking, immigration has worked wonderfully in the US. The majority of intrants have come from South American and integrated beautifully into our culture and business economy. The flow was about 3 times too high under Biden, but that's an aberation and has been largly corrected. ICE's overeach is offensive but likely to ease with the passage of time. On the other hand, immigration was the issue that propelled Voldemort to power in both elections. Looking at the E

In a double blind experiment completed at the Spritlzer Institute, 37.3% male test subjects cheated on their spouses. a full 2.7% below the national mean. Hold on! I bet you're wondering what women are doing. I had Gemini AI take this chart and add women to it. Generally speaking while some ladies fool around, in general they're more likely to honor their marriage vows.

It's those fricken Gen Z little shit's who don't drink enough! Believe me, I've tried to make up for their bad judgement*. There's only so much I can do before I black out. *I try to keep it to a bottle per day, unless it's the weekend or a holiday. Or I'm drinking straight Bourbon.

The Dark Lord does a lot of dumb/evil stuff. This isn't that. This is smart. Very smart. BTW, so was operation Warp Speed (during his first time) which created a public private partnership to develop the COVID vaccine. Voldemort is very evil except when he's not.

Josh against Marco would be a excellent horse race. One I'd like to see! Josh Shapiro Shows Democrats How to Win He’s far ahead in the most important swing state. As 2028 nears, pay attention.

See the New Building Techniques Turbocharging the Data-Center Boom Hyperscalers’ need for speed is spawning timesaving products and building techniques By John Keilman and Jemal R. Brinson, WSJ Sept. 1, 2026 In the $1 trillion race to build AI data centers, time is money and money is no object.

In under four minutes this explains why only a village idiot would support wind power. Additionally, if the heavy government subsidies that support this crap stopped they would not be a single new turbine installed.

Context (by Claude) on the Jersey Mike's story below. If Gen Z isn't going to Jersey Mike's where are they going? Do they frequent "fast food" more than older people? Chicken and Mexican dominate Gen Z's wallet share, and subs aren't cracking the national top tier the way they do with older cohorts (or on college campuses specifically). Chick-fil-A has held the #1 spot in Piper Sandler's "Taking Stock With Teens" survey since 2018, and it's not close — its 17% share is mor

Axios tends to learn hard left (still good data below). The pandemic destroyed voters trust in our public health system. Is RFK fixing that by being a vaccine skeptic. Don't think so. Hopefully, after Voldemort leaves his ideas about our food chain survive and his successor practices better science. Axios Future of Health Care By Caitlin Owens and Adriel Bettelheim · Sep 01, 2026 Happy Tuesday! Some of RFK Jr.'s vaccine policies and distrust of the medical establishment ar
