Finally, a politician with the courage to say "Maybe in my backyard? What is a backyard anyway, really?

Milwaukee native Jeffrey Dahmer never got to see his hometown team win a World Series. He would've been so happy if he were still alive.

An Ode to the Good People of Milwaukee 🍻 The only thing better than the baseball team is their fans. I was in St Petersburg for Game's 4, 5 and 6. All the reports you heard about Brewers fans taking over were true. But I don't think you heard enough about how great they were. I've been going to games for 30+ years. I don't think I've ever encountered a better fanbase. Live sports can be hit or miss. You always run into those asshole fans who can ruin the experience and are looking for trouble. Brewers fans don't care who you're rooting for - they're just looking for a good time. My seats were behind the Brewers dugout. I was deep in enemy territory. The people in front of me, behind me and next to me were all as nice as could be. Told you things about their team, asked you about your team, commented on the game. It was as if they took pride in treating people with respect. If you're going to lose to anyone in the World Series, at least it's to people who win with class. Cheers.

More dishonest servile state-funded propaganda from CalPravda The journactivists helpfully provided the convicted gang member (deported five times already) a sympathetic photoshoot—clutching a bible, weeping and plaintively touching the border wall—while taking him at his word
Luis Arreguin, a father of four, lived for 49 years in the United States. It took just 16 days for ICE to send him to Mexico after detaining him in Fresno. cal.news/4By37oU 📷 Daniel Resendiz
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Luis Arreguin has been deported five times previously, is an admitted Fresno Bulldogs gang member and has a criminal history including aggravated assault, firearms offenses and DUI, per ICE. None of this appears in the post or linked article. x.com/ICEgov/status/… calmatters.org/justice/2026/1…

My friend, Sir Patrick Stewart, has passed away. The fact that I was able to truly call him a friend is insane in itself, but it’s true. He was a lifelong Huddersfield Town supporter, and through my work with them, we came together. I would bring him the newest gear, talk to his AMAZING wife Sunny (who loved him so much) and listen to stories. I got to shuttle the two of them around Sacramento one weekend, and it truly was an incredibly fun time. Over the years, we would talk every Saturday during soccer season. I would always make sure he was set up (he wasn’t Mr Tech), and then we would watch the match. Afterward, we would always have a 2 man postgame show on the phone, but he hosted and I listened. I could listen to him read the phone book. He was incredibly and unfailingly kind, always asking about me and my family, especially my USC daughter, as he lived in Los Angeles as well. I am so sad I didn’t have longer to spend with him, I’m sad I never got to talk to him when the team gets promoted, but I’m so incredibly grateful for the time I DID get to spend with the most unlikely friend I’ve ever had. I grew up idolizing Captain Picard, but the man behind the Captain was even better. I assure you of that. I will miss the phone ringing and him saying in his big, bellowing English accent: “WELL HELLO DAVID” Yeah, he always called me David, insisted I not call him “Sir”, but I always did. Because he deserved it. Most of all, I’ll just miss my friend. Be at peace, Sir Patrick. Thank you for everything. PS: I hate 2026

🧘‍♂️ Don’t even talk to me till I’ve said my morning Kings fan affirmations: -The Kings do not define me. -I am more than my team's win-loss record. -Their failures are not my failures. -I cannot control what happens on the court, and that is okay. -I do not have to defend this organization to strangers on the internet. -I can love this team without allowing it to hurt me. -Basketball is entertainment. -My emotional stability is not dependent on a 19-year-old's jump shot. -I am not responsible for the Sacramento Kings' defensive rotations. -I am a fan. I am not a hostage. Kings play the Pelicans Friday! 😅

The economic harm to Cuba caused by the US embargo is very small compared to the economic harm to Cuba caused by the Cuban government’s socialist policies.
The suffering of Cuba is due to you and your country illegally embargoing them for 60 years. Why don't you stop doing that?

The thing about Mao Zedong was that he was not just a dictator. He was actually a f***ing idiot to such an extent that it would make Trump’s ridiculous claims of himself being a “stable genius” almost credible. Mao forced farmers to make steel out of farm tools and in small village furnaces, which left farmers with no tools to work the fields. He forced farmers to chase away insect-eating sparrows, which led yo locust-infested fields. Millions starved to death as a result. He thought that turning the population on itself in endless struggle was the path to proletariat prosperity - all it had done was to make more starve to death, loss of Chinese know-how across the board and China left on the brink of bankruptcy. His views on dental hygiene were so off the planet that he eschewed both “modern” or more traditional Chinese modes of dental care, to the point that his doctors and others all mention the rotting stench that emanated from his mouth. Not all dictators are idiots - Deng Xiaoping was a dictator but not an idiot. But Mao excelled himself in his idiotmaxxing, more a buffoonish Idi Amin than a dangerously bright Emperor Kangxi.

You see that dip in global life expectancy in the 1950s? That was caused by one man, Mao Zedong. Mbappe should have apologised only for not being ruder about him.

Every family has to decide what it can afford. Washington never does. The national debt is over $40 trillion, and it keeps growing while both parties vote for more spending. My Six Penny Plan is simple: cut six cents from every dollar the federal government spends, and balance the budget in five years. That is real reform.

Graham tells Nithya Raman how getting ONE ADU approved in LA turned into a $40,000 sewer repair, an $8,000 sidewalk permit, and a 6-month delay… “So we go in to try to fix the sewer line. It's $40,000... But to get to the sewer line, you have to break the sidewalk… That was another $8,000. It was a delay of about six months.”

The final 2026 US budget is out… One of the great political moves by the left in recent years has been convincing a large portion of America that we don’t already spend the vast majority of our money on healthcare and entitlement programs.
