Good morning. No coat, just a sweater over a button to go for a walk. Spring is Springing, not to jinx it.

  3. Ah caint fill up mah truck with Dow futures.

    I’m burnin’ this here red hat.

  4. It’s been 295 weeks since MAGA said their healthcare plan would be released to the public in two weeks.

  5. @ 4,

    Now hold on and just gimme a sec will ya?

    I’m still searching for Obama’s real birth certificate.

  6. Carrier Corp announces pricing action for effect April 27th triggered by Trump expansion of Section 232 tariffs:

    – Increase of 8% on Fan Coils, Evaporator Coils, Residential Splits, Gas Furnaces, and small Package Units

    – Increase of 3% on ductless and crossover products

    – Increase of 6% on Residential and DLS accessories

    – Increase of 6% on all Light Commercial products

  7. SpaceX alone was responsible for 18% of all Tesla Cybertrux purchased and registered in the U.S. in the 4th quarter of 2025.

  10. The Islamic Revolutionary Guardian Council has announced that they are reopening the Strait of Hormuz for as long as the current ceasefire holds.

  11. NPR lede: Gasoline costs should start to fall soon, although a full recovery to pre-war prices is expected to take months. That’s assuming that peace holds and traffic flows resume through the Strait of Hormuz.

    Assume in one hand and shit in the other.
    Let me know which one fills up first.

  12. The national gasoline price average today is lower than Washington state’s gasoline price one year ago.

    The good news is that both prices are coming down. So I guess for Democrats it will be back to arguing that chicks with dicks are women.

    Cherry picking something?

    The corner gas station that I have been reporting on, which use to be $2.85 prior to the Excursion adventure was at $4.05 about a week ago. Yesterday I noticed that it did drop to $3.95.

    But that same station about 6-9 months prior to the 2024 election was $2.69.

    So, I don’t know what kind of bullshit you are trying to sell, but your little cheery picked news only got broadcast to about 20 people here on HA. I’ll be sure to tell everyone of your exciting news.

  14. So didja hear about hardened drug trafficker 85 year old French Lady ICE locked up? She’s a heartwarming tale of having a young American sweetheart who reconnected decades later when they were both widowed.

    Turns out the sons in law are the worst people in the world. And one of them is a retired Alabama cop.

    Upon dad’s death it appears they took his cars, forwarded the mail and then called ICE in an attempt to freeze her out of any part of the estate.

    But joke’s on them. Whether or not she lives in the US, if dad put her in the will, she gets it.

    And while forwarding Dad’s mail on his deaths next of kin is legal…forwarding hers is a federal crime.

  16. How it started:

    I DEMAND UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY!

    Hot it’s going now:

    I’m willing to pass on regime change, I’m flexible on nukes and ballistic missiles, and I’m interested in a conversation about the tolls and paying for the bombing campaign

  17. Also how it’s going:

    Whiskey Pete’s WAAAR FIIIGHTERS now receiving partial daily rations while on extended deployment conducting a pointless blockade. Parents are unable to help because care packages and APO/FPO/DPO mail currently interrupted.

    HOORAH! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

  18. You’re next, Cuba. Time to make a deal

    What did the Us get out of this deal that they didn’t have prior to Trump dismantling what Obama did, and 18 dead American service members? Oh and higher gas

  19. @ 7

    SpaceX alone was responsible for 18% of all Tesla Cybertrux purchased and registered in the U.S. in the 4th quarter of 2025.

    So, Elon Musk sold to himself. Where do you think he got that idea?

    How Newsom Boosted His Book Sales With $1.5 Million From His PAC
    Gov. Gavin Newsom offered supporters who gave any amount a copy of his book. Roughly     67,000 donors received the memoir, accounting for about two-thirds of its total print sales.

    Hey, don’t blame me for publicizing it. The New York Times has Hair Gel in its sights.

  20. @ 9

    Liberals:

    The coming Trumpian recession will cause Europe and Canada to use far less jet fuel.

    Also liberals;

    If Europe and Canada don’t use less jet fuel they might run out in xix months.

    Or not.

  23. 17) Pentagon probably orders more pizza for the staff, meanwhile probably a shortage of MREs too, besides the normal mess food on the ships.

    The FBI Director Is MIA

    Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

    By Sarah Fitzpatrick

    On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.”

    @PeteHegseth

    The @USNavy is correct. More FAKE NEWS from the Pharisee Press.

    My team confirmed the logistics stats for the Lincoln & Tripoli. Both have 30+ days of Class I supplies (food) on board.
    NavCent monitors this everyday, for every ship.

    Our sailors deserve — and receive — the best.

    AI overview of a thing anyone steeped in evangelical upbringing knows.

    Using “Pharisee” as a slur is a common, often anti-Semitic, Christian-rooted insult that equates the term with hypocrites, legalists, or self-righteous, “holier-than-thou” individuals. While derived from the New Testament’s depiction of religious, judgmental opponents of Jesus, this stereotype ignores that Pharisees were key figures in creating rabbinic Judaism.

  32. @4 What are you talking about? Republicans have a health care plan. You just aren’t paying attention. It’s no health care.

  33. Why can’t you find my mom?

    Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government. They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication….On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated

  35. This is good news, if true:

    Supreme Court Justices Alito, Thomas not expected to retire this year: Sources

    Alito intends to continue serving into at least 2027, sources said.

    Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, the subject of intensifying speculation about a potential retirement before the midterm elections, is not expected to leave the bench this year, sources close to the justice have told ABC News. Alito, 76, has been hiring clerks for next term and intends to continue serving into at least 2027, the sources who have spoken to Alito told ABC. Fox News first reported the justice’s intentions. …

    The court’s most senior member — 77-year-old conservative Justice Clarence Thomas — is also expected to remain on the bench, sources have told ABC. Thomas continues to love the work, sources close to him have said, and in the next few years will eclipse the record for longest-serving justice in American history.

  36. FBI spokesperson, not Patel who is presumably on a Friday bender, says FBI will SUE the Atlantic over reports of Patel being a drunk saying he works harder than any FBI director in history and regardless of those Hockey videos he doesn’t like Kavanaugh Koolers.

    Given the Atlantic’s reference to NINE sources in the opening graph good luck getting past that ‘knowing’ part of the statutes on journalism.

    Should the FBI write a check to the Atlantic’s law firm now or wait for the humiliating dismissal?

  37. @36 Good luck with standing. Even if Patel was defamed, DOJ isn’t an injured party. Any such issue is between him and the Atlantic.

    Apparently Trump’s DOJ, despite Bondi’s departure, is still run by people who think the law is whatever they say it is.

    WSJ report on UAE to the current administration in the United States

    “You started this war; if we run short of USDs as a result of it, either you will give us USD swap lines, or we will be forced to start transacting oil and gas in CNY and other currencies.

    Alternatively, they could just claw back all the money they gave to Jared.
