A billion-dollar sneaker company just watched its stock drop 70% from its peak while the rest of the market gained 150% -- and the CEO's big announcement is that he's tired of talking about it. Somebody get this man a participation trophy. Maybe a pair of limited-edition Kaepernick Nikes to cry into. Elliott Hill, Nike's chief executive, told employees at an all-hands meeting on Tuesday that he's "so tired, and I know you are too, of talking about fixing this business." He wants to focus on "inspiring and driving growth and having fun." Fun! The stock is at $52. It ...Continue reading

The National Institutes of Health just awarded $584,117 to a UC San Diego lab to continue an experiment that involves castrating mice, injecting them with testosterone, drilling into their skulls, pumping toxins into their brains, and then cutting their heads off. The purpose? "Fine-tuning" male hormone doses for women who identify as men. And people say the government doesn't listen to taxpayers. Oh wait — they don't. DOGE already killed this grant. Biden holdovers in the NIH brought it back. https://twitter.com/jsolomonReports/status/2038964605255303215 Here's the timeline, because it's the kind of bureaucratic middle finger that would make even the most jaded taxpayer ...Continue reading

Two months. That's how long Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has been in office. In that time, she's proposed more than 50 new taxes. Fifty. Including a tax on dog grooming. Your golden retriever's haircut is now a matter of state revenue. Welcome to "affordability," Democrat style. Spanberger ran for governor on making Virginia more affordable. That was the pitch. That was the yard sign. That was the reason suburban moms in Northern Virginia pulled the lever. And now, 60 days into the job, she's rolled out a tax pinata that would make even California blush: gym memberships, rideshare services, dry ...Continue reading

Zamzam Jama and her family stole $5.6 million from a federal child nutrition program that was supposed to feed hungry kids during the pandemic. She didn't feed a single child. She submitted fake invoices, pocketed millions, and got caught. Federal prosecutors asked for 16 months. Sentencing guidelines called for 10 to 16 months. Judge Nancy Brasel gave her six months. Six months. For $5.6 million. That's roughly $31,000 per day of her sentence. Crime doesn't pay — unless you're committing it in Minnesota, in which case it pays spectacularly well. https://twitter.com/Rightanglenews/status/2039134984997347644 Jama wasn't a lone wolf. She was part of ...Continue reading

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gl8901zzMw Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese — let's call him "Albo" — stood up at the National Press Club this week and had the audacity to question whether the United States has accomplished enough in Iran yet. "It is not clear what more needs to be achieved," Albo whined, apparently exhausted from the grueling effort of watching America and Israel do all the fighting from 9,000 miles away. Somebody get this man a participation trophy! Australia — a country that sits on top of massive energy reserves but somehow can't keep gas in its own pumps — contributed a whopping ...Continue reading

Iryna Zarutska was a Ukrainian refugee living in North Carolina. On August 22nd, she was riding a light-rail train in Charlotte when a career criminal named Decarlos Brown Jr. stabbed her from behind without warning, without provocation, without reason. Brown had prior convictions for larceny, breaking and entering, and armed robbery. He'd already served five years in prison. He was out anyway. She never made it home. In the months since her murder, a nationwide campaign launched to honor her memory through public murals — a visual reminder that the victims of violent crime have faces and names and stories. ...Continue reading

The Attorney General of the United States — the person Donald Trump hand-picked to drain the DOJ swamp — was apparently using her office to tip off a Democrat congressman about the FBI's plans to release files about his relationship with a Chinese spy. President Trump fired Pam Bondi on April 2nd after growing “more and more frustrated” with her failure to “execute on his vision.” He announced it on Truth Social with the classic Trump kiss-off: “We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector.” That’s Trump for ...Continue reading

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MznWLC9IMp8 Barack Obama hopped on X this week to celebrate the 16th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act and accidentally confirmed what every conservative has been saying since 2010. The ACA, Obama wrote, "was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone." There it is. Sixteen years of "you're a conspiracy theorist" and "nobody wants single-payer" just got torched by the guy who signed the bill. Obama even called his healthcare law a "starter home" that he always expected would get "improvements." That's one ...Continue reading
