As Thanksgiving approaches, I'm saddened that an entire generation is growing up without appreciating the beauty of this Thanksgiving meal. Thankfully, a faithful remnant still recognizes it for what it is: one of the most iconic Thanksgiving feasts in television history.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was destroyed in March 2024. As of August 2026, MD was still *accepting bids* to complete demolition of the old bridge, with hopes of finishing demo this year. "REPAIR" is written & released four years bf one bridge is REPAIRED in MD. Projected reopening is 2030, but I'm sure that won't be done by then. ONE BRIDGE.
REPAIR is an honest look at where our country stands now, what's broken, what we need to rebuild completely, and what we can't lose sight of.
Our future won't repair itself. We have to be the ones who do it.

BREAKING: The Constitutionality Index has now scored every law in the history of the United States. 48,000 laws dating back to 1789.
So far as I'm aware, I'm the first one to ever attempt such a thing.
And we've now ranked every president based on the percentage of laws they enacted were constitutional. The results largely track the overall historical trend: As we move from the founding to the modern era, the percentage of unconstitutional legislation increases.
In fact, 1937 is the tipping point. Pre-FDR's New Deal, every president — Federalist, Whig, Republican, Democrat — scores 98 to 100%. After the New Deal, the average percentage of constitutional laws (by page) drops to 31 percent.
As a result, presidents of the last few decades find themselves at the bottom of the rankings. @JoeBiden is officially the least constitutional president, although Trump isn't far behind. Only Thomas Jefferson scored a perfect 100 percent.
I've also scored congresses, & @SpeakerJohnson's current Congress is, from the perspective of the Constitution, the worst Congress in American history. Constitutional legislation stands at 56.3 by total count, & just 4.3% by total legislative pages.
Another important finding: The largest laws in American history are, every one of them, unconstitutional.

You need to get a REAL ID and dump out your water bottle, while twice-deported illegal immigrants are boarding domestic flights.

Winning an election in part because gas prices are higher and then turning around and claiming a mandate for embracing climate ideology.
Stifling oil and gas production will not lower energy costs.

Voters: We gotta get rid of these tariffs, they are the dumbest economic idea we’ve ever heard of.
Democrats: I think you mean, they’re the dumbest economic idea you’ve heard of YET.
Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa says she will declare a "high-cost emergency" and freeze residential electricity rates within an hour of taking office.
The plan clashes with Texas' competitive energy market, where over 100 retail providers compete for consumers under a deregulation law.
Nick Loris, president of @C3Journal, warns the freeze could leave suppliers unable to adequately provide power.

Florida SAVE Act!
🚨 WOW! Democrats are furious as a law will soon take effect in Florida REQUIRING that EVERY driver's license issued will need to display whether the person is a NON-CITIZEN as part of the state's SAVE America Act
Florida did it right again ☀️
The law also ENSURES only citizens vote.
Do it nationwide 🇺🇸

A new report from Washington, D.C., finds "64% of bus riders still do not pay fares," which is threatening the sustainability of the city's public transportation.
D.C.'s solution? An 11 percent fare hike for those who do pay.

Price controls are dumb & they backfire. They're twice as dumb if you're trying to control energy prices in an energy producing state.

I don’t think the former site of the Landover Mall needs to be an untouchable memorial to the Build a Bear it once housed

This is the new Democrat party.
Electing actual terrorists to Congress to make the case that actually WE are the bad guys in the world and we should really give the terrorists and terror-funders the benefit of the doubt.
Insane exchange. Newly elected Democrat Adam Hamawy refuses to call Iran an adversary.
BROWN: Do you see Iran as the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We pushed them into a fight"
BROWN: But are they the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We should be making friends"
BROWN: They've been saying "death to America" for decades
HAMAWY: "We've been saying 'death to Iran'"
BROWN: They've killed a lot of Americans
HAMAWY: "And we've killed a lot of them"
BROWN: So you don't see Iran as an adversary?
HAMAWY: "I see that we are pushing Iran into a fight"
