Good luck. 😂

Oregon had a net population gain of 36,530 since 2020 - 100% of which are international immigrants. Yet, in that same time period registered a net gain of 263,459 new "voters." 👀Look: The first image is a chart of Oregon's net population change since April 2020. Since then, net migration is flat at -670. International immigration is staggering at +56,700. The birth / death ratio is also alarming at -19,500. The net population gain is +36,530. The 36,530 net population gain is ALL INTERNATIONAL IMMIGRANTS. Now, look at the next two images. It's the growth, year over year, of active registered voters in Oregon since 2020 and the current stated active registered voters for this 2026 mid-term election - straight from the Oregon SOS website. We've had a population increase of 36k international immigrants, since 2020, with 263,459 new active voter registrations in the same time period. How? Tell me: how exactly can voter registrations grow 700% larger than population growth of made up of 100% non-citizens? None of this is believable. None of this is legit.

Good luck keeping your guns. It’s our country now. You play by our rules.

I opposed the war from the beginning. The week before the bombs started falling, @AlexIngersoll and I were the ONLY journalists who showed up at the Pentagon. Everyone told me I was nuts for thinking war was imminent. Once the bombing began, I made some of the most conservative predictions about American casualties and the impact on oil prices on record. Hegseth, Cooper, and Caine blew those predictions out of the water. The war was executed FAR better than almost anyone expected. But here’s the distinction people seem determined to ignore: A brilliantly executed war can still be a catastrophically bad decision. And I believe starting this war was a terrible decision. There are indeed strong rumors that Admiral Brad Cooper strongly advocated for it. But rumors aren’t evidence. We also have no idea what political or strategic advice Hegseth and Caine actually gave Trump, if any. Do I want accountability? ABSOLUTELY. Whoever convinced Trump to bomb Iran should be held accountable and fired. We do know talking heads like @marklevinshow and senators like @SenTomCotton were absolute hawks but we don’t know who inside the White House steered that decision. I know a lot of people, including hard core MAGA supporters, want heads to roll but guillotining the military leaders who exceeded every military and economic estimate (well except the one from Trump himself that it would be over in weeks) for a disastrous political decision, without knowing what advice they gave, makes absolutely no sense. Hold the people who made the decision accountable. Don’t confuse them with the people ordered to execute it.

ALL 21 STATES. ALL 1,799 COUNTIES. EVERY SINGLE ONE SHIFTED BLUE. You can blame the Iran war. You can blame the economy. But you expect me to believe Republicans were THAT angry that every single state and county shifted blue? And before anyone says it, this isn’t about being unable to accept a loss. I can accept losing. What I can’t do is ignore something that just doesn’t pass the smell test. Sorry, but I have questions. 2020 makes me look at things way differently.

NEW: Virginia voters vote to allow the abortion of babies who are minutes from being born, as long as a single doctor deems the mother's "mental health" needs saving. The constitutional amendment will establish permanent protections for abortions. Women will be able to kill a fully formed baby in the womb in the third trimester as long as a single doctor determines it is necessary to save the life or physical or "mental health" of the mother, according to CBS. A Pew Research study found that over 50% of liberal white women under 30 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. Horrific.

I voted. Gave my middle finger to every democrat on the ballot and a solid "NOPE" to all their proposals. Will it matter? I'm in Virginia, so probably not. But I get the right to bitch cuz I made the trip and got my fucking sticker. 🫡 🖕

Much blame to go around. I don’t care what anyone says, the Democrats didn’t win because their ideas are good. They won because our side is mad, and rightfully so. I just wish we didn’t have the whiny hand wringers on our side who evidently don’t care how bad it’s going to get because they chose to stay home. I pray there are enough of us left to show up in two years.

The process of the US's collapse has accelerated.

Speaking of chimneas... I bought my wife one once from Little Havana when we were first dating. Filled it with tropical flowers. Great gift! Anyways, we burned candles in it on our porch. We love candles and used to smoke, so much time on porch and many candles in there. One night real late a candle must have melted all the way down and lit the other melted candles. In hindsight, there was probably a shit ton of wax in there. It began to flame, then black smoke, then OMG it ran like a jet engine for like 20 straight minutes! I mean FFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS crazy ass hiss noise as massive pressure and flame burst out the top. 🤯 jet engine. It really sounded like one. Mind you, I'm on my fucking porch. I'm worried it's going to catch the roof on fire, there is soot shooting everywhere, but what am I going to do? I just created wax propulsion. So I just watched it. Magnificent! Like an uber fountain on 4th of July. I was piss drunk and so I went to bed after. The porch was an absolute nightmare the next day. I spent all day basically like a chimney sweeper. Never do this. The pot went from light orange to a dark red through this process. 😂 I fired that bad boy proper! From the inside out. ;-)

No matter how crappy or depressing things seem to be, if this disabled dog can find this much joy out of a puddle, you can find something to smile about too. Go find your puddle.
