“For too long, corporate strategies were warped by the delusions of green ideologues who neither understand basic economics nor the fundamental science behind energy production. Once the mandates and incentives were stripped away, demand recalibrated to match affordability, reliability, and everyday practicality, which are values far more enduring than climate cult slogans.” — Leslie Eastman
From this guy, talking about the Iranian Ass-Kicking Exercise and BritPM Starmer’s reaction thereto:
“Progressive realism has met reality: when the chips are down, nobody cares about international law; nobody cares about tolerance and diversity; nobody cares about human rights; nobody cares about doing the right thing. They care about winning.”
Yup. It works at both the macro- and micro levels, btw. (see: Righteous Shootings)
“Coincidence theorist”… this may well be the expression that breaks the Internet.
“The Federal workforce is now at its lowest level since 1966.” — Cristian Heiens
Not a bad start. Now let’s roll it back another 60 years, to 1906. (For those unaware, there would be only a few dozen IRS officials, just to give one example.)
An excellent analysis by this guy:
“Donald Trump is like a shark, in that he must always swim forward or risk suffocation. He, his administration and the media ecosystem that has grown up around Trump’s political persona depends upon action and controversy. In fallow news cycles, Trump steadily loses the initiative and two things happen: First, the media establishment and the leftist activist machine begin gathering their own critical momentum. Second, the vast MAGA-adjacent social media sphere must turn to other controversies to keep the clicks and the ad revenue flowing. Both of these work against the forty-seventh president and his purposes.”
Read the whole thing, because I can find no fault with his thesis.
From this article, describing some dumbass trying to live out a childish insurrectionist fantasy:
“[He’s] probably just realizing that his mouth wrote checks his ass is going to have to cash.”
Priceless.
