Here is the link to my piece "Drones and Idiocy: In Which I Respond to Mr. Musk" conservativewahoo.substack.com/publish/post/1…


Ciao. @kfj-fp.bsky.social


At this point, I am beginning to genuinely wonder if Trump honestly, truly believes, against reality and in the face of 78 years of patient explanations, that foreign countries somehow pay U.S. import duties.


Actually.....if a lowly Premier Division/First Division team loses a key match at the end of the season, it is very much clearly a "disaster" and means financial ruin, perhaps insolvency. Soto does hit "bombs." Points can be unanswered. Etc. Mercy. x.com/APStylebook/st…

A team losing a game is not a "disaster." Home runs are homers, not "dingers," "jacks" or "bombs." A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 "unanswered" points. If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it "never trailed" rather than…



I shall say this as @EPonceOficial cuts his coleta. I was there for the bad, the ugly, and the good. I was there his last afternoon in Madrid, his fifth PG. There was a sign held up, “Ponce is Dios.” Correct. Gracias, maestro, por todo. @EPonceOficial @zabaladelaserna


Come to think of it, what is the end game of the China Hawks? This piece by colleague @lili_pike has the official endorsement of being an absolute banger. foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/19/rep…


If I were carrying water for Maduro's Orinoco heavy oil crap, I'd worry less about an LNG pause and Howarth's math. But that's just me. ft.com/content/5175ce…


This is where stupid gets annoying. Yes, shipbuilding deficit. Yes, USN needs to build ships. Bone-jarring innumeracy on shipbuilding is unhelpful. The US built 1200 USN combatants during the the entire war. It built 2700 Liberty ships. Math, son. x.com/JTLonsdale/sta…

In WWII the US built 18,000 ships in a year. Enemies couldn't keep pace. Last year, our Navy built 8, and retired 12. China now has 250X our shipbuilding capacity. How do we maintain naval deterrence? Smaller, weaponized autonomous vessels. Ep 95 w/ @MavrookasD of @Saronic



If you thought JD Vance limited his stupidity to dogs, cats, and cat ladies, wait til you see him try to talk about energy. (And he's the clever one.) x.com/liamdenning/st…

I don't think opening foreign markets was the actual purpose of Trump's imposed (and proposed) tariffs, but if it was, then the tariffs clearly failed to achieve their objectives in any meaningful way.

The Nippon Steel-US Steel takeover saga was about a lot more than pre-election vote pandering. Why, you could say it is a fight for the future of the whole damn industry. foreignpolicy.com/2024/05/15/ste…


PSA: For all the GOP hyperventilating over Harris's plans for price controls to fight their own bogeyman, wage-and-price controls (and stupid tariffs, and a weaker dollar) were all Richard Nixon innovations. You break it, you own it.


Can we invoke the 25th amendment retroactively? Asking for a nation.


I don’t normally punch down, but this is just stupid. And tiresome. US Oil Production Jan 2021: 11.1 million barrels/day US Oil Production May 2024: 13.2 mbpd US LNG Exports Jan 21: 305 bcf US LNG Exports May: 367 bcf x.com/RepJeffDuncan/…

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wage war on American #energy. They have America on the precipice of an energy crisis due to failed, radical policies that make us reliant on adversaries for energy. American greatness requires American energy independence.

Holy shit, they overturned Chevron? It’s hard to explain to Law Normies how big of a deal this is. It’d be the equivalent of replacing the “NFL Draft and Free Agency” system with a “sports talk radio callers take turns assigning players to teams” system.
