And yet I have no idea how he racked up 30,573 lies during his first term...

@LuFins-Dad said: The bigger issue, IMO, is the failure to treat all of these small conveyances (including regular old bicycles) like vehicles. The other day I went into DC and these asshats on the e-scooters were everywhere, cutting in and out of traffic, zipping down between vehicles at traffic lights, and then blowing right through the lights. If DC would enforce their own laws on these idiots, they wouldn’t need to have the most corrupt speeding cameras in the nation. Yeah it's a nightmare. The last few times I've gone it's the same thing. People also just drop the scooters everywhere blocking sidewalks in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks to the housing crisis and COVID, basically. [image: 1774358429189-4aeb501a-8864-4dce-8644-d8879405cef5-image.jpeg]

The firetruck driver, of course in hindsight, should've looked right to make sure there was no traffic before crossing, too. Lots of what-ifs. I had a friend who went to the FAA program in Oklahoma. He's a smart guy, he said the training/test requirements were insanely hard (as they should be, I suppose) so I can see why so many wash out and don't make it through the program.

Wind farms suck, but offshore wind farms even more so. They are absolutely destroying marine life, the maintenance and repair issues are compounded exponentially because of their location, they utilize incredibly high levels of rare earths that require over extensive carbon investment to extract, and most of their broken old components aren’t recyclable. They are a 1970s wet dream that turned out exactly like most wet dreams of the 70s. Trump’s mistake is pushing oil… Go Nuclear, baby!

Not a good idea. "We'll be completely constitutional unless we don't want to".

Can’t remember.

General Mattis: “Iran right now, if we declared victory, they would now say they own the strait,” Mattis said during the CERAweek by S&P Global conference. “You’d see a tax for every ship that goes through.” “We’re in a tough spot, ladies and gentlemen,” Mattis said. “I can’t identify a lot of options.” https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/23/mattis-ending-iran-war-now-cede-hormuz-00841109

He apparently funded quite a bit of cancer research.

https://www.wsj.com/business/logistics/truckers-tesla-fans-semi-b0a66e6e?mod=Searchresults&pos=1&page=1 This summer, after years of delays, Tesla plans to begin shipping mass-produced Semis from its Nevada Gigafactory. The company is expected to deliver between 5,000 and 15,000 Semis in 2026 before ramping up to 50,000 trucks a year, according to a recent report by Tigress Financial Partners. Surprisingly, Tesla is winning over a hard-to-please and influential group—truckers. Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. and Tesla produces two Semi models with ranges of 325 miles and 500 miles. The company hasn’t publicly stated how much the Semi will cost and didn’t respond to requests for comment. Companies that ordered the vehicles are bound by nondisclosure agreements. But people familiar with the orders say they come in at under $300,000, or about double the cost of a diesel truck. and And much like EVs several years ago, public charging infrastructure isn’t in place for Semis to make long-haul trips. While EV charging infrastructure grew in 2025, most public chargers have a fraction of the power needed to propel a Semi across America promptly—let alone fleets of them.

https://www.npr.org/2026/03/23/g-s1-114813/markwayne-mullin-confirmed-homeland-security The Senate confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Monday to serve as the next secretary of Homeland Security, putting the Oklahoma Republican in charge of immigration enforcement, one of President Trump's biggest priorities in his second term. Mullin won the confirmation in a 54-45 vote. He will be the second secretary to lead the department during this Trump administration, replacing Kristi Noem. He comes to the helm in the midst of a shutdown that has left 100,000 of the department's more than a quarter-million employees working without pay.

Valero refinery is a big one.
