It would be so much funnier if I didn’t realize that there’s an excellent chance that my tax dollars are paying for those shoes.

I would find this funny if I wasn’t all but certain that I’m paying for every pair of those shoes.

Makes me think of the movie Office Space. That guy understood how small amounts could add up to a lot of money. Corporate executives must have recently watched that movie.

It's interesting that Congress is moving to restrict institutional investors from buying up homes, but there's no similar effort for health care.

I'm sure there are some people who make a lot of money but I just pay more for any product that uses oil and anything that is shipped via engines that use oil ie virtually everything I buy.

New: Data from the federal government's Quarterly Services Survey shows hospital revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 were up 10.9% from the year before. That drives up insurance premiums and patient costs.

The numbers are shifting, but let’s be honest. A huge chunk of CA voters still have no idea who most of these candidates are.

That 24% undecided is the real story. It could flip this race overnight.

Dems stuck in single digits are not expanding the field, they’re diluting it and need to drop out.

Now there's a campaign slogan for Ed Gallrein.

The felon’s approval on key issues has gone down, but has increased by +3 in a generic ballot. Because recking the economy twice hasn’t taught voters a lesson apparently.

It was never $1.99/gallon here. It wasn’t even as low as $2.30/gallon.

“Gasoline…is now below $2.30 a gallon in most states, and in some places $1.99 a gallon.”

Average U.S. retail gas price today: $3.58.

I’m more inclined to believe what is said in a senate briefing than what the felon tells the press. But I do agree that the word plan was a poor choice of words. I was running out of characters.

And then there’s this. After $1 trillion was gutted from Medicaid and enhanced premium tax credit subsidies for ACA plans were turned down. They’ve cut every program that helps American citizens.

I’m going to guess that I’m paying for that on top of the fact that it’s absolutely looney tunes crazy.

Meanwhile Senator Blumenthal was told yesterday in a briefing that this administration is considering boots on the ground in Iran. That doesn’t sound like they’re ready to take their ball and go home. It sounds like a long term plan.
