I just got back from my rural diner. The waitress seemed upset. I asked her, is it grocery prices? No. Trans people in bathrooms? No. Finally she broke down, “It’s this damn FDIC. Why do we over regulate the banks?” With tears in my eyes I told her: Don’t worry. Trump will fix it. #FDICisMarxism

Debut of Bari Weiss’s ‘60 Minutes’ Sees Dip in the Ratings www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/b... It’s never felt more patriotic to watch someone fail.

Hi. I had a bit of a health adventure which I wrote about here: www.facebook.com/share/19JwSw...

L - GOP Rep and MI senate candidate Mike Rogers actual photo from the campaign trail. R - Photo put out by staffer.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

All the AI in the world could work for 100 years and not come up with a better way to sum up America in 2026. Great job @washingtonpost.com FBI raids Post reporter’s home & Trump’s golf course takeover

Every day more cringe.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

Some personal news: I’ve taken up puttering.

Democracy Dies in Dorkness

Democrats Play the Hits on Health Care. But Fewer People Are Listening. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u... Is this a joke? @nytimes.com this headline is a disgrace. What is wrong with you?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

RIP Robert Redford.

Wordle has given me new respect for the letter R. It’s so versatile. Really the key consonant. Good job R.

In a better world this would be a hit. Fantastic new song from Marshall Crenshaw. music.apple.com/us/album/wal...

Not sure I love the subplot in Superman where the Daily Planet settles a libel lawsuit with Lex Luthor

You'd think cutting off healthcare access for millions of Americans would be called "class warfare" but I guess that term only counts if you're raising taxes on billionaires by a percentage point or two.

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals. The pro-life party: This is an outrage! RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio. The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

In times like this it would be comforting to learn that there’s a big shadowy conspiracy secretly running things.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Those pesky Ukrainians, always complaining…. @nytimes.com Are you outsourcing writers from Pravda now?

Right now the U.S. is the sick man of North America.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Next year Lee Greenwood!

There needs to be a name for the sense of dread when a news alert pops up on your phone now.

I strongly recommend everyone follow @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social because these are the constant reminders we need right now.

America joined the Paris Accord, then quit, then joined again, then quit again. That's not what serious countries do.

How many migrants are going to become forced guinea pigs for Elon Musk’s brain implant company?
