The U.S. House Committee on Financial Services passed the Payment Choice Act of 2022, a bill designed to protect the right of consumers to pay with cash at brick-and-mortar retailers. Now, we see more and more retailers going cashless. This is indicative of a much greater problem.

In May 2021, L. Gordon Crovitz, a media executive turned start-up investor, pitched Twitter executives on a powerful censorship tool. The site, Newsguard, sells software, including browser plugins and back-end codes, that purport to perform an unbiased analysis of news sources. As it turns out, the government may have been paying them to conduct censorship activities for the Feds!

APEC accounts for about 62% of global GDP and almost half of global trade. APEC has become a stage for strategic competition between the U.S. and China. The fact is that China is asshole. Don't trust China! We should not be hosting these monsters with in our borders.

The enemy is at the gates ladies and gentlemen and 8 Republicans have just stood up against our border security and national security interests by protecting Secretary Mayorkas from the consequences of his crimes.

The real question is, why aren't we ready to go full electric? The answer is simple. We aren't ready because we have neglected our basic infrastructure for too long.

At last night's final Vice Presidential debate, we saw the also-rans pretend to be involved in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. It started with the audience shouting out "Trump, Trump, Trump!" And that really is all you need to know.

Yesterday, Steven Crowder released the manifesto of the trans shooter that has been suppressed for the last 8 months. Big tech immediately moved to censor the comedian in an obvious effort to protect yet another enemy of the people. Meanwhile, it looks like another election was stolen and the sock bots are out in force working to spread the disinfo.

I first read an article in around 2005 about the possibility of space elevators being a real possibility in our lifetimes. At the time, I had just read the book "Friday" by Robert A. Heinlein. The space elevator was not a central theme in that story but it was a staple in the background. It is becoming a nearer and nearer reality every day. https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/09/12/102622/a-space-elevator-is-possible-with-todays-technology-researchers-say-we-just-need-to-dangle/ https://spectrum.ieee.org/a-hoist-to-the-heavens https://www.universetoday.com/68840/developers-say-lunar-elevator-could-be-built-within-a-decade/ https://pubs.aip.org/aapt/ajp/article-abstract/75/2/125/1056308/The-physics-of-the-space-elevator?redirectedFrom=fulltext https://www.space.com/7494-space-elevator-contest-heats.html

There are memes abundant about putting up the Christmas tree right after Halloween. Do what you do, but let's talk about the Thanksgiving season and the idea that we can be thankful all season long. This has been a crazy year, but there are in fact reasons to be thankful as we have had some big wins this year.

A Danish outfit, Orsted, just pulled the plug on a big wind farm in New Jersey. These projects were both funded in large part through tax dollars allocated through Biden's so-called "Inflation Reduction Act." The Climate hoax is in full swing and continues to refuse to die. Let's talk about what the actual concern of so-called climate deniers.

BUY US A COFFEE TO HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brushfiremind From the White House, President Biden Issues Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. That's right, kids! Artificial intelligence is scarry, but not to worry! The Government is going to save you! The former Vice President has signed an executive order that aims to regulate the development of artificial intelligence. There's no way this can go wrong, right?

An article from Collider.Com got my attention this morning because we (my little family) have recently been rewatching The Big Bang Theory. The article, 'Why 'The Big Bange Theory' is so Hard to Watch Now,' by Sebastian Stoddard, argues that the show was good when it came out but is not OK now because of some of it's political positions. That's right. Lefties, who were originally responsible for the show now feel that it isn't far left enough to be tolerated. I will argue that, in fact, the show itself is responsible for that result. Yup, I'm going to use this as an opportunity to attack "Will and Grace".

Home Schooling has been a mainstay topic for conservatives for a long time. During the "Pandemic," many parents were essentially forced to undertake this classic labor of love. Now, following the FBI targeting of MAGA supporters and amid several spiraling 'book ban' controversies, we are hearing more and more criticism of the growing trend of homeschooling.

For the last several years, Victoria's Secret has been looking to score some woke brownie points by putting their clothes on ugly broads and fat chicks. But the bottom line fell out! Now, they are "bringing sexy back!

There was an "insurrection" at the US Capitol yesterday, except that it wasn't... But why? What was different to the January 6th demonstration? How was that different from the May 29th insurrection?

The Biden election team opened a Truth.Social account yesterday! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! It is difficult to imagine a more transparent desperation maneuver in the upcoming 2024 election. I, for one, am laughing my ass off at this most recent development. #TRUMP2024 #FJB #TRUTH #GOP #LGB

The news reels are touting an all time high record of oil production and attempting to attribute that to the current administration. Let's talk about what BS this is.
