Media is a business different from others. Success in another industry is not an indicator. Howard Hughes bought RKO Pictures, a great studio. Gone. Ellison bought #CBS. Going. https://nypost.com/2026/03/25/media/cbs-news-ratings-headed-for-historic-lows-six-months-into-bari-weiss-tenure-at-top/

On immigration. &quot;Pardon. Maybe you don&#39;t fully understand the term &#39;reasonable doubt.&#39;&quot; &quot;I&#39;m telling you, they&#39;re all alike. They come over here, running for their life and before they can take a deep breath, they&#39;re telling us how to run the show. Boy, the arrogance of this guy.&quot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwIxcEvRq0g

#Trump allows #Argentina #beef imports up 400% to 100,000 tons. That will make American beef producers happy. I wonder how much of a subsidy they will get. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5726797-gop-opposes-beef-deal/

We haven&#39;t heard much about the #Trump #battleship #BBG(X). We built twelve #Essex class carriers between 1940 and 1945. Not a chance we can build one BBG by the time #China has scheduled a war in 2028. https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/the-u-s-navy-cant-build-warships-anymore/

Stephen #Miller is completely off the deep end. He believes the world should be governed by stregth, force, and power. No discussion of justice, sovereignty, or self-determination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe8o5gD397Y

J. Michael #Luttig says that voting is necessary, but not sufficient to secure our liberty. He says it will be necessary to get out on the streets. Things are serious when this thoughtful man recommends collective action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHrMrJqs8Og
