When I was a kid I never read "Tom Sawyer" or knew who "Mr Toad" was. It didn't matter! It was all about what we DO in these attractions we can't do at home. Hiding in Caves and crazy driving were high on my list as a 9 year old. Great attractions have a primal, timeless appeal.

Javier Milei has lowered Argentina’s monthly inflation rate from 26% to just 1.5% The economy grew 7.6% in Q2 YoY Never forget… the media and professional class labeled him a dangerous “far-right” lunatic because he wanted to cut spending.

I get why Elon Musk is mad about the BBB. But reality bites. A quick reminder: Nancy Pelosi had a margin of 70 votes in the House when they passed Obamacare. That’s how this works. The margin of the GOP is 3. Which means they can’t get any major reforms for entitlements.

On the eve of Rivers of America’s shutdown, know this: we're entering another era of fan division, like Splash Mountain all over again. Years of walls, noise, and construction at MK, only to be handed something lesser. The buzz will fade. But what we lose tonight? That’s forever.

I didn’t realize there was a 2013 reboot of Yes, Prime Minister! I used to show episodes of the original series to teach my students about bureaucracy.

💔4 years ago today, I lost my dad. For part of his final weeks, he was a patient at UCLA (not COVID). When I went to visit him & tell his doctors about his medical problems, they treated me like a criminal. Sent security to kick me out because of a 1 visitor a day rule to

Wow… more than 85% of Virginian kids living with a mom and dad at home will earn mostly A’s and B’s, regardless of their race. Grades drop drastically in father-absent homes. Fathers are so important! Brad Wilcox

For most boys, the biggest missing "role model" is Dad. NYT acknowledging: "Growing up without a father at home, as 1-in-5 children do, particularly disadvantages boys, several studies have shown." My recent UVA report w/ Ian Rowe Richard V. Reeves concurs:

The school I teach at, which I helped found almost 30 years ago, is one of the top schools in our state's largest school district. But I appreciate the advice.

This is precisely it. We know better than to fall for it again. Imagineering had a deep well of trust, earned over the years, and it's all gone. They burnt that trust. From rusted metal and vag planters in Epcot to what they did to Splash, and on and on - we don't trust them.

It cannot be that every Presidential policy and every law must survive review by every district court to go into effect. That is precisely the "imperial judiciary" Justice Barrett warned against. Here we are again. One judge issued a same-day TRO--no defense allowed.

These stats were BEFORE the poorly worded conversion therapy ban bill which frames anything other than "affirming" a child's identity as a crime. Ty OneBC for taking a stance on these matters! Imagine being Elenore Sturko, Amelia Boultbee, or Á'a:líya Warbus & silently complicit.

4. If any part of the Constitution somehow prohibits Congress from withdrawing federal funding from an entity like Planned Parenthood, I’m not familiar with that provision

It seems that former USAID employees want to convince us that Trump was right to fire them. I guess we should be grateful they are being so helpful.

I saw two guys smoking fentanyl and a guy taking a dump on Market street in Sn Francisco during my afternoon walk yesterday. I also got a ticket for running a stop sign on my bicycle and city fire inspectors are making my company dismantle all our office phone booths bc they

Calling out false teaching isn’t about being harsh—it’s about protecting the Church. When truth is twisted in public, silence only helps the lie spread. Courage in the pulpit demands clarity in the pews. Preston Sprinkle Andy Stanley @realRobBell Watch the full conversation
