The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was destroyed in March 2024. As of August 2026, MD was still *accepting bids* to complete demolition of the old bridge, with hopes of finishing demo this year. "REPAIR" is written & released four years bf one bridge is REPAIRED in MD. Projected reopening is 2030, but I'm sure that won't be done by then. ONE BRIDGE.
REPAIR is an honest look at where our country stands now, what's broken, what we need to rebuild completely, and what we can't lose sight of. Our future won't repair itself. We have to be the ones who do it. Preorder your copy today: premierecollectibles.com/wes…

No, I don’t care that two white girls made monkey noises at a door cam. Not even a tiny little bit. And here’s why.

These girls are not the reason I can’t shop at the mall alone on the weekend or buy deodorant without someone unlocking the case, but no one wants to have that conversation.

This kind of thing, these sort of charges, will freeze publishing. Publishers -- who tend to be risk averse given their slim margins -- will shun any material that could retrospectively be identified as "offensive" or "causing discomfort" etc. That means, in practice, pretty much all of what we call literary writing, because it depends on ambiguity, intellectual complexity, and layered, ancient, unresovable conflicts in the mind and in society. Only AI work will be trustworthy -- because it can be programmed to police itself according to all the current speech codes. It can even seamlessly update its own texts as those codes change. The codes of speech and thought and expression very quickly will become as complicated as the tax codes and most human authors will simply give up trying to comply with them. Though publishers will give up first, I expect.
Michel Houllebecq, the author of “Submission” - the international best-selling book depicting France folding to Muslim immigration - was just criminally charged by France for hate speech.

What I find so amusing about this is that when I was a teacher, a group of Black students could be misbehaving in the hall, and when I told them to get to class, they’d hit me with, “Dis muh f*cka honky-ass cracka be doing the most, boy!” I’d be lucky if the administration gave them so much as a verbal warning. Then you have some drunk girls making monkey noises at a door in the middle of the night- with no evidence they even knew the residents were Black- and they’re getting raked over the coals in the national media for something that should’ve been, at most, a sit-down with the dean. This is what people hate. It feels like we have two sets of rules for conduct in this country. One for white people and one for black people. If you’re white and do anything perceived as even slightly racist, people line up to ruin your life. If you’re Black and get held responsible for hurting a white person, people line up to donate to your GoFundMe.
Black Ole Miss students say they immediately confronted classmates who made monkey noises - and one kept doing it trib.al/kZiVuiW

It’s pretty insane that the entire Republican voting base has said, “we don’t want this guy. We don’t want this failed leadership.” And their arrogance and obstinacy is so great that they come out and tell us, “we don’t care what you want. We understand we’re supposed to represent your wishes, but we are going to spit in your face and do what we want anyway.” Literally, the only constituency that the Senate Republicans have are each other and a handful of massive donors.
.@SenateGOP is committed to being here and doing whatever it takes to finish this legislative session strong and get as much done as we can for the American people.

John Thune worked harder in 2 days to get himself reelected than he did in 2 years to secure America’s elections. Traitor.

Possibly dying of a vax to prevent a cold The state of medicine in 2026
Moderna's wicked new flu product (mFLUSIVA) just came out two months ago. Already there are 48 reports of injury in VAERS, representing a small fraction of the whole. They read very much like the early reports of the Covid poisons. Same signs. V-Safe entries clock the decline from fatigue to injection-site pain to headaches to rashes to GI issues to limb dysfunction and on and on, like a poisoning, ending in disability and sometimes death. You can see all the signs that this is happening right now with this new injection. Will no one at the FDA stop the madness before it is too late? openvaers.com/search-vaers?q…

I love my parents very much and have no interest in losing them. Anyone thinking this way needs the be the one to go.
Scott Galloway is upset that our parents are taking too long to die. “Quite frankly our parents are living too damn long. Great, I'm going to get a house when I'm 80 and they're 100.” Something is seriously wrong with these people.

.@Walmart @kroger, what a slap in the face to the American shopper. You should dismantle this immediately. And shoppers, do not under any circumstances, allow these companies’ apps on your phone. Whatever discounts they have through them are being counteracted by raising prices when they detect your phone nearby. It’s a scam.
Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget. Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors. Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf. Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now. This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine. Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle. "Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours." Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.

It would sure be nice if even one Catholic bishop—just one—would speak up about the moral obligation of illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin and seek legal means of emigration. Or the moral obligation of elected officials to enforce duly enacted laws on immigration. Or the moral obligation of our leaders to prioritize the good of their citizens over the good of foreign nationals. But no, we get this instead, every time.
Friends, Catholic social teaching holds two things together: a nation has the right, and the duty, to regulate its borders, and every migrant is a person of incomparable dignity who deserves generosity. In January, amid the tensions in Minnesota, I proposed that enforcement focus on those who have committed serious crimes. Last year, together with my brother bishops of Minnesota, I called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. What the President described Sunday in his 60 Minutes interview about immigration is very much in that spirit. The President now proposes working with Democrats toward a solution that involves a properly regulated border, the deportation of people who have committed serious crimes, and a generous approach toward those who have been non-violent and have contributed to the economy. He even admitted that the enforcement of his immigration policy has been too tough. That is the balance the Church’s teaching points toward. We have waited years for a solution to this thorny problem. I would strongly encourage leaders in both parties to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity.

If someone killed Dave Chapelle for speaking his mind, I wouldn't feel better. But even if I would, I wouldn't say so. Some ugly thoughts are far better left unsaid. Dave Chapelle has made the world an uglier place by saying what he never should have said. I hope he sees that.

Wow! This woman posted her video days before the clip from Dave Chappelle’s show leaked. She said she and many others were walking out of the show early because it was “trash.” According to her, Chappelle spent the evening talking crap about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, attacking Trump, and making fun of Jesus. She also claimed that even security staff acknowledged that people were complaining about the show.
According to this man, who attended Dave Chappelle’s recent shows in NYC, the comedian not only told the crowd he “feels better” since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, but also made a racially charged joke about 9/11. He claims Chappelle said he doesn’t mourn the 9/11 attack because “a bunch of white people died.” That joke allegedly fell flat, as a large portion of the audience were New Yorkers who knew someone who was killed on 9/11.

Look at the coverage… When a black teen murders a white teen. When white girls make monkey noises near the door of a black girl. The Legacy Media is extremely racist towards white people.
