Just One Thing: You wouldn't let your friend make a decision this bad
It's so bad, it has to be Biden...
If a friend asked your opinion of his plan to drain money from his retirement account because prices of everything have gone up and he’s not willing to buy less stuff, you’d say “don’t be an idiot, that’s for your future. Just find a way to buy a little less now.” On Tuesday, the Biden Administration announced that they would sell a million barrels of gasoline, not oil, from the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve. Not because there’s any disruption of supply but explicitly to lower the price for summer travelers. First of all, they’re planning on selling a total of a million barrels into a market that uses 9 million barrels a day. Second, and more importantly, this is NOT what a strategic reserve is for. Not only is this a disgusting effort at vote buying, but it won’t even work.

Nikki's voting for Trump. She didn't really have a choice, both on a policy and political basis. I mean, if she didn't at least say she was voting for Trump she'd have almost no path to run for president in the future. And, really, as much as she doesn't dig Trump, on a policy basis Biden is worse by almost every measure.

It's REALLY important to consider the horrendous impact of inflation on almost everybody, and how the value of some assets we own going up is only offsetting the damage done by Biden's insane "helicopter money" policies enabled by the Fed's out-of-control printing machine.

FOR TECH NERDS: Ernie at Tedium has a way to get your Google searches (if you want to use Google) to look like the searches of old, without all of the AI junk that's been added in recent years. This relates to something I was talking about on the show the other day: how the addition of AI to search will cause search engines to give you summarized "answers" rather than web pages as the result. But if you want web pages as results so you can find stuff yourself and not rely on AI, which can certainly be wrong or just not focus on what you want the focus to be, Ernie has a way:

What does "not pursue" mean? For example, if a sheriff's deputy in a jurisdiction that does "not pursue" finds a stolen vehicle being driven somewhere, will they follow it, even if not in a high-speed chase or with lights and sirens?
