A few controversial things I believe: 1) A grown man with a family has no business getting on a ladder to put up Christmas lights. 2) a larger vehicle is safer than a smaller vehicle. Put your family in an SUV. Period. Crash ratings are a scam. 3) Pitbulls are a public nuisance. 4) politics is a total waste of time. Putting energy towards it is inversely correlated to happiness. 5) earning money is hard. $100k a year is a lot of money. Twitter acts like it’s easy but it isn’t. 6) sports betting is a disaster for society. Quietly destroying a lot of men’s lives. 7) waiting till 35 to think about kids is a huge mistake. These folks are all going to regret not having more, earlier. 8) SEC and Big10 schools are the new Ivy League. Wealthy families want to send their kids there, not Harvard or Stanford. 9) religion is making a comeback. And the people who get serious about it end up with better lives. 10) marrying a doctor or a lawyer is high status, but low enjoyment. These folks live stressful lives with very little flexibility. 11) vaping and weed are better for your body than alcohol, but worse for your career and life. They remove ambition and energy and make you less social. 12) giving our kids 75 vaccines is going to go down in history as a net-negative on society. 13) technology won’t actually advance a lot from here. Our physical worlds will largely be the same 20 years from now. 14) driverless cars are 20 years away. Waymo won’t make it out of the major cities with 25 mile an hour speed limits. 15) Virtual reality won’t become a thing. Nobody has any use for it. 16) 99% of people have no use for AI and it has reached 90% of its potential utility. Massive waste of electricity on the whole. 17) Web3 is a joke. Crypto is worthless. Bitcoin is a fad and is 100% speculative. Massive waste of electricity. Solves a problem that doesn’t exist. 18) electric vehicles will not become mainstream. They do more harm to the environment than good. Creating them and disposing of them is an environmental catastrophe. 19) Starlink is a miracle and ads 10x more value to society than the previous 5 things on this list combined. Elon needs a Nobel prize. 20) the fed has done a great job over the last 3 years with rates. 21) nuclear power is the only way forward. Solar and wind are not sustainable and are a total waste of money. Oil and gas is the only viable solution today and America should invest heavily in more production. 22) Silicon Valley influencers and Tech titans are out of touch with the true needs of Americans. They could benefit by spending some time in a Walmart. Most people are trying to figure out how to put food on the table. They don’t need another app for their meta glasses. What’s something you believe that isn’t a common belief? Which one am I wrong about?

🇬🇧 Sex-segregated lines in an Essex supermarket have sparked public outrage Men and women were seen queuing separately inside a grocery store in Romford. The scene irritated English people, who say they are now forced to obey the rules of Islamist migrants in their own country.

I support a mosque being built anywhere in the US. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. To promote tolerance, I would also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, The Turban Cowboy and the other, a topless bar, would be called You Mecca Me Hot. Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork and across the street, an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called Iraq of Ribs. We could also have a lingerie store called Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret and a liquor store called Mohammered. All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us. Yes we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing this on. 😎 I did my part 😉or we can just send them back to where ever they came from.....

Being angry at Fauci or being angry at Israel isn’t productive anymore. The anger is justified, but without real accountability it’s just wasted energy—unless it’s directed effectively into a pursuit for positive change. Trump won in 2024 because most Americans understood that wars in the Middle East are bad for the U.S. & that COVID was a crime against humanity. He built a historic coalition that promised, with conviction, that voting for Trump meant we’d get accountability, no more foolish wars, & an administration that would actually put America first. Instead, we have a new war in the Middle East and Trump announcing he’ll honor Fauci’s pardon. This is all infuriating, but don’t let it demoralize you—because it’s also clarifying. We can declassify documents, stage hearings, and post talking points on the internet all day. But none of it matters when we have a justice system that refuses to deliver genuine, bipartisan accountability, impartial to political influence from any direction. Right now, Trump has the ultimate power to pursue that accountability, and he’s choosing not to. That tells you everything you need to know. We know who will hide behind performative outrage about Fauci, Iran, or the Deep State while taking no real action in efforts to shield their political careers—and we know who will actually stand up, fight, & tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable the consequences may be. The problem isn’t the War Machine, foreign interests trying to push us into war, or the Deep State & their pathetic apparatchiks like Fauci seeking to control us. The problem is putting our faith in leaders, again and again, who lack the courage to fight them.
