CARDELLO: They Weaponized The DOJ

26 min 42 sec ago

Let’s take a look at the ridiculous hysteria the mainstream media is experiencing this week. Actually, every week is the same when it comes to Left-Wing media meltdowns. To be fair, hysteria is only second to TDS as a communicable disease on the networks. The Monday morning raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s residence in Washington ... Read more

The Attribution Window Shrank to Zero: Why Marketing Mix Models Are Being Rebuilt Around Sessions That Never Had a First Touch

3 hours 27 min ago

Most marketing leaders still assume the attribution window shrank because tracking got harder. The real reason is simpler and more awkward: the first touch stopped existing in any form anyone could record. A shopper reads an answer inside a chat interface, hears the brand mentioned on a podcast, taps a link forwarded in a private ... Read more

Who Is Responsible When a Lithium Battery Burns Down a Rented Apartment?

3 hours 30 min ago

When a lithium-ion battery ignites inside a rented apartment, the question of who pays rarely has one answer, and the fight starts the moment the hoses are rolled up. The battery pack, the charger, the device, the outlet, the lease, the renter’s policy, the landlord’s policy, the retailer who sold the thing, the importer who ... Read more

The Breaker That Keeps Tripping Isn’t Broken — It’s Telling You Something About the Circuit Behind It

3 hours 37 min ago

A breaker that trips twice in a week isn’t defective. Swapping it for a bigger one is the fastest way to turn a nuisance into a fire. The breaker is a sensor with a switch attached, and when it opens, it has already measured something on the circuit behind it and decided the condition is ... Read more

The Thermostat That Learned the Wrong House: Why Smart Schedules Drift After a Season Change

3 hours 48 min ago

It’s 6 p.m. and the living room reads 74, which is what the thermostat was told to deliver back in July. Outside it’s 62 and dropping. The compressor kicks on, runs a short cycle, shuts off, and the homeowner opens the app wondering why the bill keeps climbing. The schedule the thermostat learned over a ... Read more

Why Your New Garage Door Opener Is More Complicated Than the One It Replaced

4 hours 1 min ago

Most of what a modern garage door opener costs to run gets burned while nobody is using it. The motor barely registers. The transformer keeping the radio receiver, safety sensors, LEDs, and Wi-Fi module alive 24 hours a day is the real meter-spinner, and that’s the component federal regulators have been chasing for a decade. ...

Reject the Heat or Sell It: Data Centers Face a Cooling Choice

4 hours 7 min ago

Everyone keeps blaming the substation. The real constraint on the next wave of data center buildout is thermodynamics on the back side of the rack. Chips can be fed. The heat they throw off has to go somewhere, and in a lot of markets there is nowhere left to put it that isn’t already fought ... Read more

Morning Update: The ‘Party’ of “Civility”

7 hours 26 min ago

Today, on the Morning Update, Dems have been pretending to be the party of Civility (meaning they are the opposite) for years, so some Dem-on-Dem election intimidation hate-crime isn’t surprising news. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. S.2  024 (Ep. 288) Links: Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their ... Read more

9 hours 26 min ago

Did you see the news? Democrat State Senate Candidate Cecil Abels of Rochester was forced to suspend his campaign due to the fact that he did not meet residency requirements to be a member of the Senate.

MACDONALD: Cultural Appropriation

16 hours 26 min ago

One of the dumbest things the Social Justice “Igors” ever birthed from their fetid womb of cultural Marxism was “appropriation.” The idea that if it’s not your culture, you can’t have it, use it, or express it. Unless it’s white, Western, colonialist culture and, more precisely, the American Constitutional Republic – then have at it. ... Read more

BOLDIN: Bill of Rights – Born From the Fight Over Delegated and Reserved Powers

18 hours 26 min ago

On December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified and became part of the Constitution. Most people think they know why. But most actually don’t. It was birthed out of a brutal political battle between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over a question that nearly killed ratification: When the Constitution doesn’t mention a power, who gets ...

MACDONALD: More Bad News for Don Bolduc

Tue, 2026-10-20 21:00 +0000

Don Bolduc’s ridiculous excuse of an endorsement of Democrat Socialist shill Chris Pappas continues to produce bad press for the retired General. Our first fisking and commentary on the news has been very well received, with numerous commenters on X summed up thusly: “That man has turned into such a huge disappointment.” Indeed, he has, ...

SMITH: My Favorite Cashier

Tue, 2026-10-20 18:00 +0000

Pray.com sends emails every morning with a suggested reading and prayer.  They do that year-round, even in October, which they’ve declared “Fruit of the Spirit Month.”  Since 10/1, they’ve been sending a 2nd email later in the day.  That email includes a suggested thing to do, and for me, not all suggestions require equal effort. ...

Tue, 2026-10-20 16:00 +0000

Michael Smith, writing for the Patriot Post, has a great piece titled “The Right to Be Comfortable.” It looks at the reality/fantasy contradiction of the transgender agenda and the idea that there’s such a thing as trans rights. One of those is the right to be comfortable, or to feel comfortable, in whatever fantasy your ... Read more

CLINE: Flying Cars, Sandboxes and New Hampshire’s Future

Tue, 2026-10-20 02:00 +0000

On Thursday, Tesla engineers remotely drove the company’s new Roadster up a gigantic half loop that looked like a life-sized Hot Wheels track. At the top of the loop, the road ended, and the car, upside down, flipped, and then slowly hovered to the ground. With jets of compressed air shooting from the car, it ... Read more
