Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert
NOTE FROM KANE
As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.
I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.
So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.
Carry on, CFP Nation.
Yes, it is, except for the few of us who think we might still be normal against all the odds.

I wonder how many people will follow an AI’s recipe for roasting a turkey. Funny link in the stack. Umm, stuff with 3 cups of raw popcorn and roast until the oven burns up?
U.S. Supreme Court Said the AR-15 was Ban-proof 86 Years Ago

In 1939, the United States militia included all able-bodied men at least eighteen years of age and less than forty-five. After the passage of the Militia Act of 1903, the militia was subdivided into two groups: the organized militia was named the National Guard, while the balance of the group became the Reserve Militia.
According to Article I, §8, Clause 16 of the U.S. Constitution, the government is obliged to pay only for the arming, equipping, and training of the National Guard and pay them at the same rate as a soldier in the regular Army. According to some quick, back-of-the-napkin calculations, this means roughly 36.6 million adult males are members of the Reserve Militia in 2025.

“”In Conversation with Michelle Obama”, presented by Growth Faculty, will explore her career in public service, life in the White House and beyond, as well as the advocacy work she has undertaken to strengthen and support the next generation of leaders.
Her visit coincides with the launch of her new book, The Look; a behind the scenes glimpse of how her most memorable looks came together, but also a story about how people present themselves.”

The solution to data centers jacking residential utility bills is so simple.
Tell data centers they have to pay 100% of the cost of the infrastructure expansion required to meet their need, and pay it up front, and let us build it out before connecting.
Otherwise, they can install their own generators and make their own, which is much more expensive per kWh.
Something similar to this was done in VA through proffers and impact fees, where developers were required to front money, land, roads, schools, and utility upgrades before they could build new neighborhoods.

Excellent.
Somebody needs to call on MTG to rescind her resignation. We can’t lose the seat and we don’t want others to resign, following her example. Speaker Johnson would be my choice for the task. President Trump could do it best, but that is a big ask. The Speaker can do it and carry the message as what is best for the party, etc. Sooner rather than later, Mr. Speaker! 😊

Turley: NY Muslim college student and part-time imam calls for rich people’s fingertips to be cut off.
In context, he was thinking especially about mutilating the director of the Hillel House who was seated next to him.
Because Gaza.
Also because Mamdani.

Good morning! 🍁🌿🍁
Morning, Dee. What a relaxing pic.
This story is all over right now…..as all the Great lakes have gale warnings posted 🤷♀️
Check out this article from The Detroit News:
Eyes glued on a small houseboat that navigated the St. Clair River

Stay safe up there! Hope you aren’t traveling. 1 to 2 ft in the UP, up to 10 NW side, 50 mph winds. The people I know are hunkering down mostly.
Not expecting that much down here, but its a nasty forecast all over. Staying close to home, for sure!
So cute!
Cute….and yes, we have the big coats out now. The winds have been so strong for the last few months! Even 45 degrees with sun feels like 30!
The classic Michigan winter statement: it wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the wind ! 😂
Put a hat on that head!
Awww, that is so cute.
Good morning MI Girl. Is it common to be out on a houseboat this time of year up there?
Oh hell no. And this one is a home made mock up of one!!! People watched it go out to Lk Huron and thought the guy was nuts! Im worried about the dog 🐶
T-111 and duct tape. Why do they always have a dog?
“A British media outlet has revealed that several prominent X accounts posing as supporters of Scottish independence are in fact operated from inside Iran, exposing yet another layer of the regime’s expanding online propaganda machine.”

Well, maybe they are big-hearted Iranian netizens who just happen to care a lot about Scottish independence
I run my limited influence campaign for Scottish independence from TN, and I don’t care where the instigators originate from.
England doesn’t belong in Scotland.
England doesn’t belong in Ireland.
Let them all be independent.
