at makes everything better. It’s called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Yep. Stein. Yep. That was as good as I hoped. Well, I wonder if there’s any new science that would suggest that drinking coffee is good for your cardiovascular system. Yes, there is. According to a study, it’s a groundbreaking new study. And it turns out that people who drink coffee in the morning are way healthier…

to plastic in your balls to whatever fresh hell this is. It’s everything. You can’t find anything that isn’t making it worse. From dating apps to body mass index, you name it. Everything is making sex and reproduction less likely. So there’s that.

The Trump administration is trying to get a billion-dollar settlement out of UCLA because Trump has, they say he’s weaponized government, but that’s not the impressive part. The impressive part is he’s monetized bad behavior by other people. Oh, I get it. You’re going to be racist and anti-semitic. All right, here’s the bill. All right. So you want to have bad trade deals? Fine. Here’s the bill. You want to have a war in Europe and never stop? It’s okay with me. Here’s the bill. Anyway, we’ll see if that works out.

I saw a post by The Rabbit Hole, an account on X, good follow, The Rabbit Hole. And The Rabbit Hole says, “History books should be updated to include affirmative action and DEI as examples of 21st century institutional racism with the impact on Asian and white victims highlighted.” Well, do you think that will happen? Do you think your history books will be rewritten? And the historians will say, you know, now that you mentioned it, there was horrific discrimination against a couple of groups and that should be part of history. I don’t know. I feel like all history has at least two versions, maybe three. One would be the traditional version, another would be the sort of updated version, and then the third one is the one that never gets published, which is the real one. You never know the real stuff. You just have some narrative that people agree on. Well, maybe that’ll happen, but probably not.

You might be aware that President Trump presided over the signing of a peace agreement apparently between Azerbaijan and Armenia who, if you’re like me, you did not know they had any warring going on at all. But apparently they want to stop that thing you didn’t know was happening. And they did. So they met with the president and everything was smiles and happiness. And then one of them, and I’m not going to pretend that I can even pretend that I’m interested enough to learn which one of those men was from Azerbaijan versus Armenia because it looks a little bit interchangeable. So I’m going to say one of them. I don’t know which one. You know, sort of flattered Trump by saying that the two of them, the presidents of both countries, should push for the Nobel Prize committee to award Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.

Now that’s somebody who did their homework before coming to the Oval Office. Compare that to Zelensky who was such a turd in the Oval Office he basically got thrown out of the White House on camera. Compare that to Azerbaijan and Armenia in which they come in and they’re like okay what would happen if we say we’re going to maybe recommend him for the Nobel Peace Prize and what if we needed a little foreign aid or a little bit of assistance? Don’t you think we’d get more of it if we nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize? So good job, Azerbaijan and Armenia. You did your homework.

Trump has apparently secretly signed, but not so secretly that we don’t know it, a directive for the Pentagon to start using military force against cartels. I thought we were sort of already there, but I guess there’s something official that had to be signed. So from this point on, our military can act against the cartels.

Now, what did the president of Mexico say about that? No way, Jose. You cannot use your military to invade our country. To which I say, is it an invasion if drones bomb a cartel headquarters? Would that be an invasion? Number two. Question number two, what happens if our military

only attacks cartel operations that are already in the United States? Don’t you think that there are cartel, you know, like armed cartel weed farms and armed cartel distribution points and stuff that are in the United States? Our military probably doesn’t even need to leave our borders. They could fight the cartel all day long just within our borders. So we’ll see if there are any big news report…
