Will the ATV driver be booked for toxic waste dumping?
Tesla recently installed 11 chargers in the parking lot at the east side Woodman's in their parking lot next to the sidewalk along Milwaukee. It took them about 3 1/2 - 4 months. That's 3 more chargers than Pete Buttigieg installed in the last 3 1/2 - 4 years.
I wonder what will become of Lloyd Austin, the three time AWOL secretary of defense. No one in charge of the nuclear football?
No problem.
There was an interesting article in the NYT - How Democrats Drove Silicon Valley Into Trump’s Arms (free link). Ross Douthat interviews Marc Andreessen about why the tech guys have moved to supporting Trump.
Andreessen seems to get it. In spite of having it explained to him very clearly, I think Douthout is still confused by it. Props to him for having the convo, though.

I thought pic #4 was just the Lake Mendota submarine surfacing a bit more than usual.
CNN got reamed to the tune of $5M by a Florida jury, with punitive damages still pending!

Youll be surprised neither msnbc or cnn are reporting it
Nor abc cbs probably not
Today the jury awarded Zachary Young $5 million in compensatory damages and found that the security contractor should also receive punitive damages for his pain and suffering. In my opinion they needed another couple zeroes to help convince CNN thst they really did do wrong.
Your boring photos suck.
air was let out of football for double duty as Presidential Depends
Trump = please insist on fresh football
what is happening on this lake ?
from AoSHQ
I read the transcript. Seems to me, Douthat really wanted Andreessen to come right out and say "Trump is Hitler."

Has Dixcus thrown in the towel?
If you want a different angle, Peter Robinson from Hoover Institute just posted an interview with Andreessen. It's long ... an hour fifteen ... but very interesting regarding the incoming Trump administration.

Eric Abbenante on X:
LA Times owner admits endorsing Karen Bass was a mistake:
Pat Soon-Shiong: "We'll accept some blame. LA Times: We endorsed Karen Bass. That's a mistake, we admit that.
Maybe we should think about how we elect people.
I'm glad that's been taken up as almost a meme: That 'Competence Matters'."
It's 2025, and Democrats are just figuring out that 'Competence Matters'. Maybe in 2028 They'll figure out men can't get pregnant

AofSHQ is reporting that shortly after the jury announced the compensatory damages, CNN folded and settled with Young. Amount not disclosed, natch
Christopher, I'll watch that next. Thanks.

Dave B? comments?
I hear that Biden amended the Constitution by his personal say so today.
Douthat is paid very good money to not get it and continue being a NYT little "conservative" monkey with a cup.
The 30-year mortgage rate has jumped above 7%, following a 1% rise in 10-year Treasury yields since last autumn.
Thankfully, Scott Bessent, Trump’s Treasury secretary nominee understands these dynamics well. But whether he has the political power — or savvy — to do this is anyone’s guess.He is certainly in a race against time. So investors had better keep watching those Treasury yields.
After all, one thing that Trump does not want on his watch is a full-blown market meltdown, let alone a MAGA revolt over surging mortgage rates. If anything is going to impose discipline on his administration, it might just be those bond rates; indeed, it is probably the only factor that will.
The 10-year interest rate is the Delphic Oracle of our time.
The delta, or difference, between today's bond rate and the rate next Labor Day will correlate directly with Trump's approval ratings. And that alligator is snapping.
Well, he did graduate law school at the top of his class.
His word as a Biden.
Tesla makes money from the sale, installation and operation of the best chargers on the market, Billy Boy. Mayor Pete isn't in the business, but now that Trump and Musk share an office, another charger brand may soon appear.
"Mayor Pete isn't in the business"
Mayor Pete was given $7.5 billion of our tax dollars to be in that business.
And you call yourself a conservative …
"another charger brand may soon appear."
Right. There's a Mercedes Benz charger brand out there, along with Tesla. There's a few others I've seen out there - but Buttigeges' brand will likely be something that you can pick up at WalMart, plug into the wall, and in no less than ten hours you'll get a good 5-10 miles of range.
This stuff is starting now...

"Trump Officials Plan Immigration Raids in Chicago Next Week"

Here it is black ice and unfamiliarity. People shouldn’t move so much.
Both GM and Ford have announced they are switching new vehicles to the Tesla charging interface last year.
Spoken like a guy who wasn't cheering on the idiot decisions that created those economic conditions in the first place.
Trump could walk on water and you'd be first in line to claim that he doesn't know how to swim.
California regulates the world, again ! This sounds like one where the best response is nothing, aside from folded arms.
According to speaker Johnson, President Biden did not know that he had signed an executive order pausing LNG exports to Europe. He honestly didn’t know. If true, somebody needs to go to jail.

hey if phones etc can charge wirelessly cars may charge from satellite solar power after Musk put them up!!
is it time to add Miranda warning after administering Oath of Office? and a Deposition just before leaving Office
so why did Johnson not disclose / sue to invalidate EO
since Biden was non compos mentis delicto flagrante
Gee, Rich, do you think Gillian Tett over at Financial Times appreciates that you stole full sentence from her article?
There's a word for that. What is it?
“You know what the absolute worst thing for the environment is? Wildfires. A 2022 study found that the smoke from just the two in 2020 wiped out 18 years of carbon reduction in the state—which means we suffered the pain of driving those early-model Priuses for nothing.”

The propensity for America Gridlock to supersede America First will begin on January 21.
The global bond market speaks much more loudly and decisively than Donald Trump. It too will start speaking January 21.
The world reserve currency owes its status to the fact that the global bond market reprices itself every second of every hour of every day. The American government literally floats in a sea of market-based accountability.
Most likely by Labor Day 2025 the rate of inflation will be up, interest rates will be up, and presidential approval ratings down.
A debt-to-GDP ratio of 100 percent and a 6.5 percent deficit suggest that monetary-fiscal affairs will be upsetting the best laid plans ... The bond market will be speaking through a megaphone.
Trump's comments about the Panama Canal and Greenland suggest we are closer to the 25th amendment than many think.
Ben Franklyn said experience is a hard teacher but a fool will learn at no other. He most certainly had his countrymen in mind.
Maybe we should change the aphorism to when a clown moves into the palace, the palace becomes a classroom. And for our first hard lesson ..
Political junkie--another guy who missed the 1980s. Take a gander at who actually pays taxes. Government spending is what makes the middle class and working class poor. Pay attention.
Rich doesn't know what any of the stuff he stole means; he also doesn't know what that word is.
I’m genuinely curious— what was your take on Trump Treasury nominee Scott Bessent or the point made in the article?
Rich, you continuously steal from others and present their words and ideas as your own. You are a thief and a fraud, and yet you are not ashamed of it. There are words for that too.
She's letting the wind push her. The lake was calm when it froze.
Gee Lily — one would have thought you’d have a little more meat on the bone; at least for a dog….
