My friend and HS classmate USAF Major Brent Williams was in the Pentagon on 9/11. Though he survived, he lost his life later fighting Muslim terrorists. Absolute class guy and sorely missed.

I'm sure being the sole Asian female at a tech convention trying to recruit people is a real joy about now.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re a 6/10 here in the US, you’re still a 6/10 when you meet a Chinese girl on a business trip.

This chart is interesting for a couple of reasons... 1. Divorce is at its lowest level in about 60 years: Fewer (incompatible) people getting married + people marrying later, with more money, and staying together. 2. The huge spike after WW2: - Rushed weddings before deployment - Years apart, and infidelity on both sides - 6 million women went to work during the war and found they didn't need a man to pay the bills - Men came home with untreated PTSD

We’re living in a world where everyone is angry, nobody is happy, everything is offensive, kindness is mistaken for weakness and disagreement is treated as hatred. We have everything previous generations dreamed of. Yet somehow, we’ve forgotten how to enjoy being alive. Think about that.

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money: 1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality) 2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality) 3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost) 4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither) The last one is how government spending works.

Everyone is picking on Jensen. I want to know when we get to hold a public execution.

Let he who has shagged the Chinese spy in their grad program or @Deloitte start group cast the first stone,
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang sends letter to employees after being targeted by female Chinese spy: "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did." "I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence."

The only good Communist, ….
Today is the National Day for the Victims of Communism. Communism killed more than 100 million people in the 20th century. This memorial, The Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Prague, powerfully captures what communism does to the human person.

Facts
This is not a restaurant. It is an airplane. Over 30 people get up, mill about with plates, serve food in the aisle, eat, and talk loudly — all while other passengers simply want to sit, rest, and travel in peace. Turn an airplane — with 180 strangers on board — into a private wedding buffet: that is the problem. The crew cannot get through. Passengers cannot reach the restrooms. Children cannot sleep. And what if there were turbulence or an emergency? Good luck. An airplane is a shared space. Your freedom ends where someone else's seat begins.

Milton Friedman: “The Great Depression was not produced by a failure of business. On the contrary, it was produced by a failure of government.” “The Federal Reserve will not fail in the same way again. This time it will fail in a different way. This time it has been failing, not by producing a Great Depression, but by producing an inflation.” “Just as you will hear the story that it was business that was responsible for the Depression, so you will today hear the story that it is labor and management that are responsible for inflation.”

I have been waiting 24 years for my neighbor David Westerfield to be executed for the kidnapping and murder of my 7-year-old neighbor, Danielle van Dam. And now thanks to @GavinNewsom, it looks like it will never happen. I was 13 when he abducted her from her bedroom in the middle of the night in 2002. I would never equate what I experienced with what her family suffered, but Danielle's murder devastated our whole neighborhood, and me personally. I was a sensitive kid and it was a major contributor to my mental health decline in adolescence. In the 20 days between her disappearance and his arrest, I developed insomnia and spent those nights walking around the house checking the locks on the doors and windows. I followed the trial closely. As we learned the horrific details, I couldn't stop thinking about what she endured during the 3 days he had her. Her body was found dumped off the side of a road 25 days after she went missing. It was too decomposed to test for sexual assault, but we all knew that's why he took her. He was also convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material found on his computer. There was never any doubt about Westerfield's guilt. There was an abundance of forensic evidence, including her blood on his clothing and in his motorhome. In 2019, the California Supreme Court unanimously upheld his conviction and death sentence. Shortly afterward, Newsom imposed his moratorium. And now he does THIS. California voters rejected abolishing the death penalty in both 2012 and 2016, and even voted to expedite executions. All these years, I've held on to the hope that someone would eventually take office who respected the will of California voters and would allow these sentences to be carried out. It's especially insulting to hear Newsom go on about morality, as if he is morally superior to those of us whose lives were affected by these heinous crimes and who want to see the perpetrators brought to justice. I'm hoping the California Supreme Court can stop Westerfield's commutation.
BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has commuted the death sentences of all 548 people on the state’s death row to life without parole, in the largest mass commutation in modern U.S. history.
