There are a bunch of people out there who are trying to talk down Trump’s achievements because of their own ideological commitments. Not a big deal except when they work at major polling firms.

RT @Craftsman_Redux: Much like the public land sales that were originally in the Big Beautiful Bill, the proposed 2026 Fiscal Year budget i….

I really thought this was going to be the space exploration administration. Real advancements. Looks like it’s not to be. Is what it is. There’s a lot to do in our own country. That should come first anyway.

Cinema of faces but isn’t that just cinema. Sure there’s experimental but when it comes to down to it there’s very little more fascinating on the screen than the human face and Fellini was the master. Watch Bergman, Kurosawa, Lynch, Murnau. It comes down to faces.

Cronenberg in the Criterion Closet is worth watching. Both La Strada and Hour of the Wolf are stone cold classics and fundamentals for anyone interested in film as a medium. Watch them!.

Alito right again.

Brooke Rollins puts her foot in her mouth every time she speaks.

The Trump admin needs to improve their messaging. Far too often people respond to tv dialogue balloons rather than tangible results and that can be dangerous.

The Last Boy Scout is a good movie. Joe Hallenbeck is a very well drawn character. Cool guy.

I think everything is going to work out. It’s just that the word strategic should never be used when discussing mass deportations. It’s a weasely messaging error. Don’t need any more of those after Epstein.

Pacing is the heart of film directing.

Elon going off on Bessent and all of his little obsequious choir joining in is quite frankly hilarious. His sycophants are so terrible and so predictable.

Now that Elon started the America Party I am going to start the Radical Revanchist Ragdoll Party. Let Ragdoll Cats govern us.

Term limits are the kind of naive simplistic slop policy that I’m sure would be supported by the America Party.

We need to change the way Congressional primary races are funded. That’s the path to actually reforming Congress. Sure it will feel good to remove some of the people who have been in forever through term limits but it won’t lead to systemic change.

Term limits are a grift for normies. It empowers the bureaucracy, ends up limiting the strength of our representatives, and doesn’t change our big money primary system so we just end up with a revolving door of empty suit K Street clones.
