"The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States."--George Soros, winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Trump is now a felon. The President of the U.S. has been convicted of o misdemeanor-made-felony, a result that will most certainly be overturned on appeal. The real point is that this damages Trump and America in the world's eyes because the world does not understand American law and how it has been distorted by the Banana Republic prosecutors. This will deminish his standing--and America's standing--in the world, exactly what the Left wants.

A Stanford study examined how EV growth in the western United States will impact the regional electric grid by 2035. If current trends persist, with the majority of charging occurring at home overnight, peak electricity demand could surge by up to 25%.
This increase would necessitate significant investments in new generation and storage capacity, likely involving natural gas—a counterproductive measure for decarbonization efforts.
More than 90% of enslaved Africans were sent to the Caribbean and South America between the 16th and 19th centuries, while only about “6 percent of African captives were sent directly to British North America,” according to historian Steven Mintz.

More than 2,000 U.S. corporations have market capitalizations larger than U.S. Steel, which has fewer employees (21,800) than Krispy Kreme, which manufactures doughnuts. The U.S. military requires a minuscule portion (in 2017, 3 percent) of domestic steel production. Japan is a steadfast ally that, while Nippon’s $14.9 billion purchase is being blocked, is purchasing vital U.S. weapons systems. Biden is allergic to such facts, as is his successor, who also opposes the sale even though:
Nippon has promised to pay $5 billion more than the company’s market capitalization. And to keep U.S. Steel’s headquarters in Pittsburgh. And to give $5,000 bonuses to the company’s steelworkers. And to abide by all union contracts. And to let the U.S. government reject any reductions in U.S. Steel’s production capacity. And to spend $2.7 billion modernizing what Biden delusionally calls “this vital American company,” which has withered by becoming dependent on U.S. government tariffs, subsidies and “Buy American” rules.--will

Nationwide student test scores show that girls have lost ground in reading, math, and science. For instance, in 2019, eighth-grade girls scored a math average of 517 and boys 514 on a scale of 0 to 1,000, but by 2023 this had dropped to 481 and 495, respectively. Boys have been losing ground as well, but not as fast as girls, who have traditionally outperformed boys in the classroom.

Are the boys' scores indicative of discrimination? What methods of redress should be taken?

The gender pay gap statistics do not control for occupation or other relevant factors. In other words, they are not, in fact, about the same work or equal work. Rather, almost all of the gap is due to men and women doing different work.--Huemer

The total payroll of the federal government is about $110 billion a year. Federal government spending was $6.1 trillion.
You cannot meaningfully shrink the federal government by firing “unelected bureaucrats.”
But you can stop them from spending money according to their whims.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that CNN's viewership was down 46 percent since the election when it had 5.1 million viewers - a number that dropped to 419,000 the following Thursday.
Moreover, from the day after the election through last week, MSNBC has averaged only 603,000 total viewers in primetime. Right-leaning hosts like Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld are averaging 2.8 million in the same timeslots.

While that is a significant disparity, it is still a tiny portion in a country of over 300 million.
