The employees of the National Nuclear Security Administration are stewards of a sprawling government system that keeps 5,000 nuclear warheads secure and ready. They make sure radiation doesn’t leak, weapons don’t mistakenly detonate and plutonium doesn’t get into the wrong hands.


Not doing their job very well, are they?
Oh? How many nuclear warhead disasters have we had?

Noticed Elon Musk in the news having sired his 14th baby. Amazing how he finds the time.

Or is it a way to develop a master race like the guy who was donating to sperm banks and how screwed up is that when there is no other reality than the one some people see for themselves.

Difference between him and other rich men? He doesn't hide his children. Funny there were no abortions.

Who needs nuclear weapon maintenance when the President is busy sucking Putin's dick?

One day, President Donald Trump imposed a punishing tariff regime against Canada and Mexico. The next, he froze auto duties for a month after suddenly realizing that – as everyone had predicted – they could wreck a quintessential American industry.

Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came to the Oval Office to sign a rare-earth minerals deal that Trump billed as a triumph for the US. But Zelensky was provoked by Vice President JD Vance and kicked out of the White House. European leaders have spent days trying to fix the debacle.

Elon Musk, meanwhile, is taking his chainsaw to the bureaucracy, indiscriminately firing workers and feeding agencies into the wood chipper – pitching citizens and industries who rely on government payments into uncertainty just as the economy softens and is more vulnerable to such shocks.

At first, Trump’s early-term energy on multiple fronts was a bolt of energy as he scratched his Sharpie across executive orders and chased away the lethargy that marked President Joe Biden’s waning months in office.

Six weeks in, however, as Trump makes gut-check calls to dismantle post-Cold War national security arrangements, the global free trade system, and the federal machine – all of which helped make the US a superpower – a new realization is dawning.

There doesn’t seem to be a plan.
Government by chaos is back, the world is once again left hanging on the “America first” president’s whims and obsessions, & America’s friends are often left to puzzle over what exactly Trump is trying to do.

Mexico and Canada can’t change the geography that makes it a no-brainer to trade with the mighty US. But both also may see advantages in expanding trade and investment with America’s rising rival China. And the European Union, which is expecting its own barrage of Trump tariffs soon, may examine similar horizons.

Canada and its chattering class have been telling us for years we must expand our trading relationship with the rest of the world , shit we even changed to the metric system to help facilitate that trade . Yet after fifty odd years the U.S. is still our major trade partner . And regardless how this latest dispute ends America will still be our number one trading partner .

Common currency and an end to all tariffs and border taxes is how this ends. When this integrated its ridiculous to go forward without.

I like this one.

"President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as Thursday aimed at scrapping the Education Department, and Secretary Linda McMahon would be directed to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law,” The Wall Street Journal’s Matt Barnum, Ken Thomas, and Tarini Parti report, citing people briefed on the matter. “The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars-and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support-has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” the draft order reads."

I love it. This will return all authority over education to the states, so our Maryland kids will be able to compete with ignorami from downhome who think vaccines cause homosexuality and Biden spent money to create transgender mice.
