As CES product launches flood the internet faster than you can say consumer tech, you may have come across the “Enron Egg,” a micro nuclear reactor that promises to power your home for 10 years straight. But don’t cut ties with your electric company just yet. Enron, the company infamous for its massive accounting scandal and eventual collapse, hasn’t made a comeback. The Enron Egg is a hoax from a parody company of the same name. On Monday, a website for Enron Corporation bearing the company’s old logo, announced an egg-shaped device that supposedly will revolutionize home energy. “Nuclear you...

Democratic strategist James Carville, who coined the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid,” admitted his predictions for the 2024 race were wrong and that Democrats lost because of the economy. Carville, in an opinion piece for The New York Times, noted that while he truly believed Harris would win the election, he is reviewing what went wrong for Democrats since President-elect Trump’s decisive victory in November. “I’ve been going over this in my head for the past two months, all the variables, all the what-ifs, all the questions about Joe Biden’s re-election decisions and what kind of Democrat or message might...

This is a relatively short essay to convey some thoughts about this entire election process of Trump vs. Harris and the implications of that event. The biggest thing that sticks out to me (after several days of thinking about it) is that the liberal, leftist Marxists in our Federal Government Agencies, the Legislative branch and the Executive brank actually look down on us and believe the vast majority of us to be the ignorant poor or at least the unwashed, untaught (deplorables, nazis, garbage). What hurts most of all (literally the truth for me) is that they believed enough people...

Did you know that 85% of the federal workforce works from home and only have to come in one day a month? On any given day, only 17% of the federal workforce is in a federal office building working. Many hold other jobs. It's one giant looting operation and US taxpayers are their mark. DOGE is coming.

All presidential elections offer paradoxes, but the Harris-Trump contest offers a truly remarkable oddity. Specifically, the Democrats, now the party of the college educated, especially college professors, nominated Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates who were among the most poorly educated candidates in recent history. By contrast, the Republicans, now the party of the less well-educated, nominated Donald Trump and JD Vance, both of whom have Ivy League degrees. So, if candidate backgrounds should align with party bases according to the metric of education, the parties should swap candidates. Kamala Harris began college at Vanier College in Montreal, an academically undistinguished school...

Speaking to a crowd in Erie, Pa., on the last Saturday in September, former president Donald Trump lambasted his Democratic opponent. “Crooked Joe Biden became mentally impaired — sad — but Lyin’ Kamala Harris, honestly, I believe she was born that way,” he said, mispronouncing the Democratic presidential nominee’s name as the crowd chuckled. “There’s something wrong with Kamala, and I just don’t know what it is, but there is definitely something missing.” Ten minutes later, he offered an even blunter assessment, warning that the nation’s immigration system was being mismanaged by “stupid people like Kamala.” “She’s a stupid person,”...

This some of the hypothetical dialogue I expect to hear on election night by the DNC It's 3a.m. we need another 25,000 ballots Don't worry Raffy and the courts have us covered Is the water main break and the blinds ready? Does Wisconsin have the cigarettes, booze, and weed ready? Does Maricopa have the oversized ballots and broken machines ready? Do our voting machines have the Republican to Democrat software ready? Don't worry about Lancaster PA, we have plenty of other frauds ready.

1) They are shooting steel at 5-7 yards with rifles, which could’ve killed somebody given the force with which the bullets will ricochet off the steel targets at the at distance. You would instantly get permanently banned at my range if you did that. Zero questions asked. 2) Kinzinger holds his rifle like a complete ninny, and that will never not be funny to me. And pro-tip for @AdamKinzinger: the eye protection works better when it’s on your eyes, not your head. You stupid idiot. Try using your brain for once. You’re lucky you still have one after today.

Trump appears lost, confused, and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for 30+ minutes and the crowd pours out of the venue early(manipulated fake drama - never happened)

After one voter observed that Harris was never elected to be the Democrat nominee but just magically became such when “President Biden was pushed aside,” the vice president naturally drove home the point for the umpteenth time that Donald Trump is the “unprecedented” threat to democracy. Funny she brought up Trump and democracy because the former president actually made an apropos comment about the topic earlier the same day, telling the Economic Club of Detroit: “Our biggest threat to democracy is stupid people.” He’s onto something. Stupid people — people who know nothing of civic responsibility or common sense —...

A society can reach a point where it is literally too stupid to survive. Are we getting close to that fatal juncture? Here is one of many thousands of data points: a judge in Indiana has ordered that state to pay for sex-change surgery on a convicted murderer.Not just any murderer, but Jonathan Richardson, who is serving a 55-year sentence for strangling his own stepdaughter. He now goes by Autumn Cordellionè. The accent is a nice touch.The inmate has sought sex reassignment surgery, including an orchiectomy and vaginoplasty, arguing it is the “only remedy” to treat “persistent gender dysphoria”.The state...

Lists stupid things leftards believe in and are for, and calls them "stupid". Great fun.

Physical buttons are increasingly rare in modern cars. Most manufacturers are switching to touchscreens – which perform far worse in a test carried out by Vi Bilägare. The driver in the worst-performing car needs four times longer to perform simple tasks than in the best-performing car. The screens in modern cars keep getting bigger. Design teams at most car manufacturers love to ditch physical buttons and switches, although they are far superior safety-wise. That is the conclusion when Swedish car magazine Vi Bilägare performed a thurough test of the HMI system (Human-Machine Interface) in a total of twelve cars this...

Radio shock jock Howard Stern once again shared his disdain for Trump supporters this week when admitted to hating those who voted for the former president. Stern went off about Trump when discussing the former president’s “I hate Taylor Swift” post on Truth Social last weekend. “This whole idea of you like me, you are good, and if you don’t, you are bad… I’ve been the victim of this,” he said on Sirius XM show. “I don’t agree with Trump politically, I don’t think he should be anywhere near the White House. I don’t hate the guy. I hate the...

A 20-year-old Michigan man remains in jail, accused of killing the deer with a bow and leaving their carcasses around Cody. The suspect in an alleged archery killing spree that left nine mule deer carcasses scattered around Cody was arrested remains in the Park County jail, and as the news has spread around town, locals are outraged.

All eyes are on the office sector as the future of commercial buildings in many cities depends upon its success, but the future isn’t looking too bright. Foreclosure rates on commercial properties have increased 48% from last year, according to a recent report from ATTOM. This rise in foreclosures is part of a larger overall trend. After reaching a peak in October 2014 with 889 commercial foreclosures, the numbers fell to a record low of 141 in May 2020 and then began rising again. Declining office performance likely attributed to the year-over-year increase in commercial foreclosures, said Joe Brady, former...

After his remark that California’s Kamala Harris was the “best-looking attorney general in the country” sparked controversy, President Obama apologized for what some deemed to be a sexist comment, and what others argued was a dumb, but harmless, compliment. The president called Harris to apologize for the comments hours after he made them on Thursday during a San Francisco fundraiser for the After his remark that California’s Kamala Harris was the “best-looking attorney general in the country” sparked controversy, President Obama apologized for what some deemed to be a sexist comment, and what others argued was a dumb, but harmless,...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuedsay that attacks claiming Vice President Harris was hired as part of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives is “stupid.” “I would say, two attacks I’ve heard Republicans give that are totally stupid and dumb to do is the DEI attack, okay?” McCarthy said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press NOW.” “The other attack that I would not do is saying that the president has to resign,” he added. “That would be an advantage for Kamala.” Harris is likely to replace President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, after the incumbent...

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, had an "oops" moment on the House floor, as seen in C-Span video. The Houston representative declared the U.S. Constitution was some 400 years old. Unfortunately, that's incorrect. The Constitution was created in 1787 and ratified nearly a year later. Four hundred years ago, Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America, was founded.
