[Low cost vs affordable housing is available in the re-introduction of ‘carriage houses’. The folks in Noblesville, Indiana are discovering that “these units cost considerably less than single-family dwellings and create accessible points into and out of homeownership while preserving neighborhood character. They also have the potential to provide rental income to help property owners afford their mortgages. Few cities and towns are immune from rising material costs and expensive land. But we control zoning and permitting. We should expand housing options without compromising community character.” gjr]

“The party that brought you the hugely successful ‘Dark Brandon’ and ‘Republicans are Weird’ campaigns are now going all in on ‘TACO,’” Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross posted on X.
“We have the lamest opposition in American history,” Vice President JD Vance posted on X.
“Democrats are doing what they do best: cheap gimmicks, free handouts, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they stuck us with the bill,” Western Regional & National Hispanic press secretary Christian Martinez posted on X.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella mocked the DNC for parking the truck at a church a block away.
“Looks like the Democrats took a break from fighting amongst themselves to stage a pathetic stunt,” Marinella said. The most embarrassing part? They couldn’t even get the location right. You can’t fix stupid.”
“LMFAO,” Zach Parkinson, RNC communications director, told Fox News Digital. “A taco truck? Are they going to be giving out free vasectomies again, too? These people are morons. No wonder Democrats’ approval rating is at a historic low.”

Don, you might be interested in a book that could help you with your bile overproduction issues,
“Kimmel locates this increase in anger in the seismic economic, social and political shifts that have so transformed the American landscape. Downward mobility, increased racial and gender equality, and a tenacious clinging to an anachronistic ideology of masculinity has left many men feeling betrayed and bewildered. Raised to expect unparalleled social and economic privilege, white men are suffering today from what Kimmel calls “aggrieved entitlement”: a sense that those benefits that white men believed were their due have been snatched away from them.”

psul: “Sorry Trumpers. Musk is off the team”
Saw it this morning.
Trump lost, but Congress and the bureaucracy’s team, that’s who won.
You know, those people you carry water for?
He gave it a solid try, but it was bound to be impossible to do the right things. I expect that Musk’s main attitude now is that he bought a few years before the collapse by helping Trump into office, but that the collapse is inevitable. It’s probably true. Mars will be KVMR-free.
Oh well, maybe an economy made out of old people, coffee shops, Pride flags, and Leonard Cohen reruns is possible. Mining: dead. Tech: mostly dead. Dope: dying. A local government made out of ‘activists’ should save the day though. There’s something special about a place run by insane middle aged women that brings a special zing to a collapse, it should be exciting.

Man, the Babylon Bee nailed this one:
“WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressional Republicans have unveiled plans to continue doing the exact opposite of what everyone voted for them to do.
After sweeping to victory in 2024 on the promise of reducing government spending and codifying into law a return to sanity on issues like women’s sports, Republicans have announced that they will instead do the complete and total opposite.
“After considering why Americans voted for us in the first place, we have decided to do the absolute polar opposite,” announced House Speaker Mike Johnson. “To be clear, our plan isn’t to just not do what voters asked us to do. No, sir. We are going for the outright antithesis of everything we were supposed to accomplish. We aren’t going to simply not reduce government spending — we’re going to make it so much worse. And we’re going to keep at it until we’ve gotten crushed in the midterms and can’t do anything ever. That’s a promise.””
