Donald Trump is pretty skinny-for-Trump these days. Nobody seems to be obsessed with it because it messes with the narrative, I guess.

Yeah but nobody ever voted for Trump because he was ever in other man or in every man or a beer drinking American. I mean he's never been anything then what he is. People knew him when he was grabbing people by the kitty, when they knew that he owned Miss teenage America, they knew he lived in moralago, they knew he married a former supermodel who had erotic ties, they knew he loved on his daughter, they knew everything about him including the gold toilets.

I had never heard the Litany of Humility until the first day of Lent this year, when it showed up as the opening prayer of the season. It honestly caught me off guard. Since then I’ve been revisiting it once a week alongside the Serenity Prayer, just sitting with it slowly. In a world full of outrage cycles, propaganda, and constant attempts to recruit you into one side or another, it’s strangely grounding, nudging me away from ego and status and back toward trying to be a better human being.

The Lenten readings keep circling back to the same uncomfortable truth: pride sits at the root of almost everything. The first human sin in Eden wasn’t murder or theft, but the quiet belief that we could decide good and evil for ourselves. And Christ’s answer to that instinct is startling. He doesn’t come as a conqueror or a king demanding loyalty. He comes as a servant. The kingdom he describes runs opposite to the normal logic of power. The greatest are the ones who kneel first.

Not saying it’s only economics, but the pattern is loud: Plan A was a domestic enforcement buildout that could soak up spending and jobs. When it bogged down in backlash and constraints, the demand for “momentum” didn’t vanish. So you pivot to the classic accelerant: war. Bombs mean rapid procurement, replacement orders, logistics, reserve activation, and a narrative reset big enough to swallow every other headline.

Abigail Spanberger describes herself as a moderate Democrat. But moderation is relative to the state you’re governing. In Virginia, proposals like semi-auto bans, 10-round magazine caps, and no grandfathering represent a significant policy shift. That approach may align with Maryland or DC. For many Virginia gun owners, it doesn’t align with our legal tradition.

Robert De Niro talks about “bringing people together” and “lifting people up,” but rallying like-minded people against Trump isn’t national unity. That’s mobilizing a tribe.

I watched the State of the Union unfiltered, no panel, no fact-check crawl, just podium and room. Nearly two hours of stamina under heckling didn’t resemble the collapse narrative I keep hearing. Democrats sitting on their hands looked smaller on camera. It wasn’t empathetic or apologetic. It was forceful and forward. I don’t know if that shifts polling, but in the moment, it worked.

Across the developed world—Western Europe, Japan, Australia—protest clashes with police still cause serious harm. A BMJ review of riot-control weapons found ~3% of documented cases ended in death and ~15% in permanent injury. U.S. protest-related gun deaths remain rarer, making each case an outlier.

It’s not just guns or policing—it’s the full policy stack. Higher taxes, expanded regulation, weaker sentencing, and liability-heavy “reforms” change incentives. Businesses pause hiring, cops transfer out, and middle-income residents reassess staying. You don’t get a mass exodus overnight—but you do get slower growth, thinner margins, worse services, and a gradual erosion of confidence that’s hard to reverse once it sets in.

I agree. This'll happen in Virginia now too with this new regime.
> Virginia’s Democratic sweep could flip the state fast: expanded gun bans, new taxes, and tighter carry rules back on the table. At the same time, bills like HB 1314 risk exposing police to personal lawsuits, weakening qualified immunity and chilling enforcement. For many voters, it feels like gun owners lose rights while cops lose protections—an alliance fracture nobody voted for.

That quote was Trump riffing on red-flag/GVRO logic after Parkland: if someone seems imminently dangerous, he wanted police to seize guns immediately, then sort it out in court. It’s a due-process faceplant, but it targets “dangerous individuals,” not lawful gun owners broadly. Critics use it to claim he’s anti-gun; context says it was pro–red flag intervention, not mass confiscation.

The First Amendment protects speech until it becomes fighting words (face-to-face insults likely to spark violence), true threats, incitement, or major disruption of government operations. Time, place, and manner can be limited even for political speech. Screaming in someone’s face or blocking federal work can cross that line. We’ll see where the courts draw it in the coming months.

None of this is a joke. In most U.S. states, deadly force is legal when a person reasonably fears imminent death, serious injury, or forcible felony. Castle Doctrine removes any duty to retreat at home, and CCW training teaches shoot center-mass to stop the threat. America isn’t built on proportionality. Escalation can turn fatal fast.

One thing that people are quickly going to realize is that everything that we've painted as despotism and dictatorships and so forth end up actually being the complete will of the people who are "tired of all their bullshit I wish they would stop we've been very patient and now they just need to fucking go away."

Oh no it's exactly like my favorite childhood novel called Mack Bolan in the executioner and the main star is a perfect Chinese Mack Bolan.
The final episode all I can think of is how he would have crashed that motorcycle just because of those brain attacks he has.

It’s really good. I highly recommend it.

A tariff primer: Tariffs aren’t free money or moral posturing. They’re leverage. Other countries already tariff U.S. exports heavily. Cheap Chinese imports lowered prices at Walmart and McDonald’s, masking stagnant wages. Tariffs raise costs, but they also push back against dumping and force a choice between cheap goods and domestic jobs.

I promised my best friend and my little twin sister I’d be less bombastic this year, so here’s a mundane bliss: a frozen chicken pressure-cooked into rich broth, white rice rinsed properly and cooked in a small Toshiba fuzzy logic cooker, beans and vegetables folded in with simple spices. Deeply comforting, unfussy, and exactly right for a cold January morning.

This is extralegal and extrajudicial: no declaration of war, no clear congressional or UN authorization, no due process. Unilateral seizure of a foreign head of state shreds sovereignty and international law.

This won’t resonate with most people. The Kennedy Center is widely seen as an elite space for wealthy locals and tourists. In an eat-the-rich, populist moment, choosing this as a political hill to die on is unlikely to spark broad sympathy or momentum. https://www.npr.org/2025/12/31/g-s1-104070/kennedy-center-renaming-prompts-a-new-round-of-cancellations

Basically the TLDR is that Russia will go around all of them. That there's an incentive to leave the dollar that there's an incentive to turn towards China that the moving away from the dollar to the yuan and the ruble are going to have secondary effects. That sort of thing.

In that case, don’t you think we should take all our toys and go home? Gladly. It’s this snotty behavior that will result in the USA pulling fully out of NATO and the UN. Fighting spite with spite. Good times.

I thought that rock drummers totally got laid I thought that's the thing all women joke about that they've got a weakness for drummers. I'm not talking about marching band drummers.

My new theory is by being a performative leftist man it's the new equivalent of being a drummer or becoming a rockstar in order to get laid. I think most of the motivation of young men becoming leftist extremist and antifa is to be able to have access to more sex without restriction even if it means gender bending and believing that as long as you are on top you're not gay. Pitchers aren't gay it's only the catchers. I feel like people really believe this.

A ’90s liberal opposed Bush, cheered Clinton, distrusted authority, defended free speech, and believed tolerance meant letting people live differently without enforcement. In 2025, that same outlook gets flagged as reactionary. The values didn’t change. The movement did, trading pluralism for compliance.

I think you'll be disappointed as to how nobody cares about Trump but Bill Clinton is pretty much ruined. As long as their only girls and aren't little boys and they're older than 13, people won't care. Not enough to tar and feather him.
