  1. Good job, Gov. Abbott. The US needs a strong and successful Texas. The world needs a strong and successful Texas. Keep doing what you're doing!

  2. I cut way back on Chinese goods. The result: I now own nicer stuff—that lasts longer. So maybe it's cheaper in the long run. Also long-lasting: The pleasure of denying Xi my financial support.

  3. Biden: Pro-EVs Musk: Pro-EVs, anti-Biden Fox: "Sorry Elon, this one's tough, but we gotta go against Biden."

  4. Very, very impressed that Fox would criticize its parent company, Disney. 👏👏👏👏👏

  5. This man must be heeded. He's a rare sane voice in the public sphere.

  6. To pick up on Gen. Keane's comment, it helps in understanding Ukraine's challenges getting supplies across the country to know that it's roughly the same size as Texas.

  7. That thumbnail of Biden eating ice cream just makes my skin crawl. Unbeatably creepy and cringy.

  8. The premier of Alberta, whose province ships 4.3 million bpd of oil into the US, says a 25% tariff would raise the price of American gasoline by $1 a gallon. Now: $3.04 With tariff: $4.04

  9. I'm very glad Gen. Keane is having his say in public. What he has to say is terribly important.

  10.  @johnc3525  His comment alone may one day result in punishment of some sort.  That's the sort of thing people are discovering in China when they try to, e.g., book a train trip online. These people won't be satisfied with the persecution of Trump and quietly fade away afterwards. They'll feel emboldened and empowered and they'll intensify and broaden such activities immensely.

  11. Choosing Russia and Saudi Arabia over Canada is simply the dumbest idea in the world. Any country that stupid deserves what it gets.

  12. Michael Shellenberger is the best journalist in the United States. In part it's because he's independent, self-supporting and works for no one. But mainly it's due to his extreme intelligence and unflagging integrity.

  13.  @micahasher7600  You don't get it. The 14.9% limit is for board members. As he has decided not to be on the board, there are no consequences for buying as many shares as he likes. It would appear he intends to do just that.

  14. It's the Justin Trudeau formula: Use as much taxpayer money as you need to get yourself re-elected. Don't spend it on the country, spend it on yourself.

  15.  @outsideview9052  Did you just liken Canadian democracy to Russian 'democracy'? With all due respect, give your head a shake. Something in there needs to be rattled back into place. As for a "hefty transfer fee", US companies import something, process it, then export it, and you think this is somehow the original country taking advantage of the US unfairly? Wtf! It's simply American companies being in business. Besides that, 80% of Keystone oil from Canada is used in the US.

  16. It takes a unique sort of arrogance to say "You are on the right side of history," as though anyone can speak for the people of future generations. Future judgment is just too unpredictable. Even twenty years ago people couldn't have predicted that the voters of Minnesota would one day elect such a poor member of Congress as Rashida Tlaib.

  17. How do you know that number? If it's known there are 50k, why shouldn't we suppose there are actually 500k?

  18. It's a real question whether Xi will permit Americans to elect Trump.

  19. Obviously a good lad. A standout, not a sellout.

  20. My mind is made up: Gen. Jack Keane is a very smart guy and a great guy as well.

  21. As you know, in all English-speaking countries but the US, the system of govt. is based more on the local party representatives than the national leader. People don't even vote for the PM, they vote for the local house member. The party that has the most of those (most seats) becomes the govt. Its leader becomes PM. So the Liberals won the most seats, so they won a 4-year term. Now their leader resigned, and since the system is party-based, the party is entitled to the balance of its elected term. I wouldn't say it's perfect but I don't mind it much, because in such a situation, the replacement PM soon calls an election. Consider this: Nobody voted for JD Vance to be president, but if Trump resigned, he would be president. (Clearly Vance would've lost to Harris if they were the two presidential candidates. After all, she only missed beating Trump by 1.48 percentage pts.) So there's no such thing as an early election in the US due to resignation or any other reason whatsoever. But there is in Canada! And there will be one, probably in April, maybe May. The more one compares the two systems, the less questionable Canada's seems.

  22. 2001: US is attacked, within 6 weeks Canada sends its special forces to Afghanistan, 40,000 more Canadians serve there over the next 12+ years, total cost: thousands of casualties and $20b. 2021: Biden kills oil pipeline from Canada, then begs for oil from best frenemies Saudi Arabia and Russia.

  23.  @nobrainsnoheadache2434  NDP also at 17%. The current seat projections by poll aggregator 338Canada are: CPC 229, Li b 51, NDP 19. CBC Poll Tracker says 218, 60, 24. You're welcome for the lessons! Any time.

  24. I am Xi Jinping and I very much approve this curriculum change.

  25. A well-conceived comment. Thanks.

  26.  @franmahy5782  Don't be silly. It isn't a chip implant, it's a USB-kinda-like port. It's not a processor, it's something so you can plug into a processor. Stop spreading misinformation. Moreover, you should look into why he's even doing this. When you find out I think you should be glad he is.

  27. China not attack Taiwan, Philippines, Japan, Vietnam why? Protective US military presence in East Asia ...that why. There, understand now Chanfun/Sergei/Farshad/whatever?

  28. Thanks for pointing out the relative insignificance of the $6bn in unfrozen Iranian funds. It may have been unwise and badly timed as a signal to Iran and the Middle East, but it's still lunch money. Virtually all Iranian strength comes out of oil sales. As usual, Kudlow's perspective is one of the very best.👍 And what a great communicator.

  29. If you mean Ukraine in particular, it's important to realize that it's really money spent on and in the US itself, and moreover it represents a 99% discount to what the US risks losing if Ukraine isn't aided and gets wiped off the map. Compared to that it's lunch money.

  30. A role model for anyone.

  31. They say being in opposition is easier, and I suppose it is. Even so, this was a real show of analytical and rhetorical talent. I'm in admiration.

  32. Noisome.

  33. California just dropped a ton of fast food jobs because of the $20 law.

  34. You need to round out that list. How about geography, physics, computers, drawing and painting, history, and a second language? Otherwise your point is great.

  35. 👍Definitely! The art of deterrence is the art of peace.

  36. That's not just gibberish. It's coded language meaning that your children really belong to the government, not you. It's a million per cent sinister.

  37. Not only does the US have a vacant president but, as I've been saying, the office of US president itself is vacant.

  38. Nation to Harris: Buh-bye!

  39. The US and the West should have made China earn recognition. The CPC regime was a hundred times worse than Castro's, so why should the mere hypertrophy of its population have merited it any automatic respect or status while Cuba remained isolated? If anything it should have been the opposite: China should have continued to be viewed as a dire threat until it had amply proven otherwise by holding multi-party elections.

  40. Latest poll: Conservatives 47%, Trudeau's party 17%

  41. You: "Build a wall along the border with Canada!" Canada: "🙄Yes, definitely. Right away, please! Start tomorrow morning!"

  42. That reminds me of a cool story. The head of McDonald's in another country was a Jewish man who lived in a posh neighbourhood in the country's largest city. On arriving home from work one afternoon, he noticed his neighbour sitting near an open window reading his newspaper. He heard him blandly remark to his wife that the man was home, using an anti-semitic slur. The next day the man arranged for an anonymous offer to be made for the purchase of the neighbour's house. The owner promptly took the offer and moved out. The man then had the house demolished and replaced with tennis courts.

  43.  @BIlliE572  "Helping"? They are indeed 'helping': in 2023 and 2024 Europe provided most of the combined money/arms which Ukraine received as aid. Taking arms in isolation, the US has provided over 50% during all three years of the war. This is what bugs me about Republicans (and please note that I've never supported a Democratic candidate in a very long time). They shoot their mouths off indignantly before ever attempting to find out the facts of the matter. They regard their own and each other's guesses as facts.

  44.  @swervedriver5260  Take heart. Tesla's popular Model 3 costs $39,990...minus a $7,500 federal rebate. Presto, $32,490. Then in some states there are more rebates. In Colorado it's another $5,000, so you end up paying $27,490. In California it's another $7,500, so you end up paying $24,990. Meanwhile the average selling price of a new car in the US is $48,275.

  47.  @eclecticmusica  Instead of bullying insults, you are invited to offer reasoned points of argument, if you can think of any.

  50. Nonsense. Crumbling security in Europe will vastly strengthen China, leading eventually but directly to the impoverishment of America. Use your head. What is being spent in Ukraine is a fraction of a penny on the dollar compared to what an easy Putin victory would cost the US in time, which is many, many trillions. The allocation is $40 billion ($16bn spent so far) out of a 2022 GDP of $23,000 billion. Are you kidding me?
