Supremes may roll back Voldemort's tariff plan!
OMG, they're really going to consider poking the Bear. He's not going to like that. I'm hiding under the bed. Wait! Papa Bear says the Supremes are going to support the Dark Lord. He's the man! Final thought: It's likely the court will take 6 months or longer to rule. By that time the Dark Lord will likely have concluded his negitiations with China. Ergo, Voldemort cares little. Supreme Court’s conservative justices pummel Trump admin on tariffs: ‘Can’t get this power bac

I usually don't watch horror movies. But when I do, nothing beats the Night of the Living Dead. My favorite 67 secs of that film. Americans love to hate horror movies, but they still can’t look away Horror has stormed the box office in 2025, as audiences return screaming to scary screenings.

Do more people die of Aids or superbugs which are antibiotic resistant?
My thoughts. Operation Lightspeed provided the public funds to rapidly find a vaccine for COVID. A similar need exists today. Massively important to find new antibiotics or we're all in a shitload of trouble. The gov should take a similar approach and partner up with private industry.

Trump Rx to make Ozempic affordable?
Think about this for a minute. The average family health insurance plan (US) is about $2,100/month (less if your employer participates). That's a sh-tton of money. And the chief driver of health costs (70%) is chronic disease. Which is driven by sugar and weight gain. Ergo, if Americans a resistant to good diet and exercise, spendin g $ 150.mo nth to keep obese folks healthy begins to make economic sense. What really makes sense is Japan's approach to good diet.

Cher crushes it with her 40 year age gap boyfriend!
Do you realize Cher was married to Greg Allman! She's the best looking, sharpest lady of 79 on the planet. If she's had work done, it's look fantastic. I'm a massive fan. God bless her.

Are record numbers now leaving the House of Representatives?
Axios is a left leaning publication. They're great except when they get the facts wrong. Like in this case. They are correct that 31 House members have announced they're leaving after this term. 20 of those are Dems, not GOP members as Axios incorrectly asserts below. Between the recent census data-realignment (Southern GOP states picking up votes from Dem Northern States) and the GOP gerrymanding the House should pick up another 20+ seats.
