NASDAQ is now down over 10% since January 20. At what point does “Trump Slump” become “Trump Crash”?
The Apprentice comes to Prime Video.
This will likely be the year that I cancel Amazon Prime, after signing up within six months of when it was first announced. My one little wallet won’t make much difference, but I’ll feel much better about myself. Same as eating vegan or conserving energy.
Large Study of Dietary Habits Suggests More Plant Oils, Less Butter Could Lead to Better Health
The researchers examined diet and health data from 200,000 people followed for more than 30 years and found that higher intake of plant-based oils, especially soybean, canola, and olive oil, was associated with lower total, cancer, and cardiovascular disease mortality, whereas butter intake was associated with increased risk of total and cancer mortality.
This really shouldn’t surprise anyone except perhaps for scientific illiterates like the Secretary of HHS.

Top US health agency makes $25,000 buyout offer to most of its employees
And where is the $2 billion ($25K x 80K) for this supposed to come from? Oh, that’s right, Congress has voluntarily ceded the power of the purse to our new co-Presidents.
Republicans worry Trump’s tariffs could harm economy
They’re just now figuring this out? Some people are a little slow on the uptake, I guess.
Trump’s Plan to Fix Egg Price Crisis Is Already Falling Apart
What a surprise, wannabe dictator can’t magically make eggs appear from thin air.
On the one hand, it’s nice to see progressive media trying to be as brash and popular as regressive media. On the other, their whole “Trump is losing and even Republicans are revolting against him” narrative seems to me to be incredibly wrong.

Vitamin A? Cod liver oil? Experts say there’s no replacement for measles vaccination
The fact that this story even has to be reported is profoundly depressing.
