It’s a War budget, not Defense. Please edit appropriately.

I can hazard a guess. A reversal in the house and senate. Followed by impeachment hearings, resulting in another swing back in 2028.

@jon-nyc said in Elon says you'll have all the stuff you want and then some.: Probably not the best investment advice. Snort…

@jon-nyc said in Britain now seen as an Islamist hot spot: The word you're looking for is 'Pakis'. Er, no. I'm really not. Your Canary-Wharf pals might have come from a different part of the country than me. We had a name for them, too, incidentally....

@jon-nyc said in And you thought your in-laws were messed up: Poor Tony Blair. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Trump instruct Fannie and Freddie to buy more mortgage bonds, like, $200 Billion's worth: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/business/trump-fannie-freddie-mortgage-bonds.html Trump Orders Fannie and Freddie to Buy $200 Billion in Mortgage Bonds The move, a bid to make homes more affordable, would be a back-to-future moment for the two mortgage firms. Buying risky mortgage bonds helped push them to near-bankruptcy in 2008.

I don’t much since she left Fox.

A few Frats at UC Santa Bárbara could do it in a few weeks if they put their mind to it.

I’ll bet it’s an obvious pun in orca language.

Actually, a pint of Kentucky Breakfast Stout goes great with a traditional Irish breakfast before skiing…

Nope. At age 30 (yes 30 years) my parents finally let her live with a group home. My dad understandably was stubborn about giving up control of his daughter. But eventually realize the reality. Basically she’s in a home where 1-4 adults with special needs live. The state gives the home “parent” money for it. She’s gone through a few homes, her main thing lately is a compulsive consumption thing…there’s a term for it, I forget, but she’ll drink mouth wash, swallow batteries (many, many times), but they’ve found a place that seems to be better than most now.

Science! Hey I’m a Vikings fan now, but never count out the Steelers post season, especially if the Patriots aren’t there to ruin the AFC path every, freaking, time.

@aqua-letifer might remember this but in 2004 I remember listening to his show and calling and getting on the air. I think we have a tape or CD somewhere of it. I’m sure it was a very wise comment I made (sarcastic).

@jon-nyc said in Maduro might be checking the train schedule: As one of the comments points out that chart is priced in local currency which may have also shit the bed during that window. That’s the technical term, right?

Steven Pinker? Seriously? A Pinko? Da, Comrade.

@jon-nyc said in Not that I feel the least bit sorry for Maduro: But just imagine what it must be like - one day you’re dictator for life. Every luxury at your disposal. The world your oyster. The next morning you wake up in Federal prison in Brooklyn. I bet he woke up Sunday - if he slept at all - hoping it was all a nightmare only to see bars in the window. Similar thoughts about Epstein and why I think it's totally reasonable for him to have committed suicide. Human contentment is about the first derivative of one's status, not the absolute value.

Is there a link to the entire dissertation? It would be more fair to critique after skimming through the original document rather than opining off a few choice quotes selected by some rando on social media. OK, found the newly minted PhD. on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/olga-estrada-28b74a65 … but I am not sufficiently motivated to reach out to ask for a copy of their dissertation. And, social media being what they are these days, I cannot be entirely sure that the LinkedIn profile is a true reflection of the real person anyway.
