Some Saturday thoughts about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The Good:
We’re still the world’s most powerful military, by far, and our ability to project that power around the globe is unrivaled.
Our productive capacity is also unrivaled, despite the endless efforts of liberals and swampies in government to destroy it.
We’re sitting on a bed of precious minerals, and floating on a sea of petrochemicals, to power us for many lifetimes.
The Bad:
A bunch of unserious pseudo-academics and “economists” are walking us into an apocalyptically bad debt and inflation cycle that will be difficult to escape.
The left’s culture war is turning on them but the damage has been done. A generation of our youth have been corrupted and we’ve lost many of the leaders of tomorrow.
The Ugly:
The democrat party has been entirely hijacked by a posse of anti-American lunatics who won’t stop until they burn this place to the ground.
The useful idiot class is growing and the social media ecosystem is exacerbating the problem in the new “attention economy.”

TEXAS ELECTION SHOCKER: NEARLY 1.7 MILLION MORE DEMOCRATIC VOTES — WHAT DOES THE MATH TELL US?
November 5, 2026 | Election Analysis & Opinion

In 2026, Abbott received 4,524,527 votes, while Democrat Gina Hinojosa received 5,230,789.
The four-year changes are staggering:
Republican votes increased by just 87,428 — 1.97%.
Democratic votes increased by 1,677,133 — 47.2%.
The Republican victory margin of 883,443 votes in 2022 became a Democratic victory margin of 706,262 votes in 2026.
That represents a remarkable 1,589,705-vote reversal in the winning margin.
