There are people who don’t have one?
Not one of them was mine
Spoiler please!
I had the pleasure of serving at one of these functions. They would bring the kids up to the red carpet in a limo and I'd open the door for them.
Likely one of the best jobs I've ever had.
Inspirational.
It was an honor to be part of their night to shine.
If you ever get the chance to help do it!

If you wondered since 2016 how come the blob and the Democratic Party were aligned so exquisitely in their operations to destroy populism (personified by Mr. Trump) and to permanently entrench single party power in America for all time to come, it’s because an endless font of taxpayer money was streamed into countless non-governmental orgs creating a shadow civil service of Democratic Party activists that melded seamlessly with the big policy-making agencies.
The money was laundered through manifold layers of these orgs and their sub-orgs to pay for an ongoing “color revolution” in the USA — lawfare, election fraud, propaganda, censorship, career cancellation, medical fuckery, open borders, and other totalitarian ploys — while enriching political players at all those manifold layers from multi-millionaire congressmen and senators to thousands of NGO officials making six-figure salaries to street hustlers like Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter and “anti-racism” racist Ibram X. Kendi and his $50-million Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University (recently axed) — and, of course, ultimately the former Potemkin president “Joe Biden” and his family.

Maybe ole Chuckie will have to get a new husband among the other tenants in Gitmo.
Obama is now free to ride his girly bicycle around Martha's Vineyard.
A friend's daughter and SIL both work for NIH. Both are extreme liberals. They were ordered back to the office after having worked at home for 3 years. They are not happy campers!

Prediction: a government shutdown is all but assured now. Strategically, DOGE will use the lapse to its advantage. They will be able to do whatever the fuck they want.
That's the spawn of Webb Hubble. Her lips are a dead giveaway.

It's officially spring in Texas. Yesterday, no Robins. Today, the yard was fully of them. Funny, how they materialize all at once. The grass is starting to grow, trees are budding and dandelions, henbit, and clover sprouting every where. Usually not until the first of March.
Cardinals all over my front and backyard today in ATX. It was noteworthy. I’m going to miss this house and town.
Where you goin?
On the USAID stuff.... GamerGate was big thing in the gamer world. It is now coming out that USAID was funding some of the hit pieces on gamers. One reason young men moved to populism was due to this backlash against woke shit in games.
Also, Disney got USAID money for National Geographic documentary on global warming. I think it was like $6M for a documentary that had about 16,000 views and 17 likes on D+.... LOL.
The more that comes out the more obvious it is that USAID was infiltrated by leftist. Nothing they were doing was helping US foreign policy. It was subversion.

Hey Mark,
Let me break this down for you. Most databases, including USA Spending, work in an "append-only" way. That means they store entire records as a whole, adding new ones over time. Their search systems (indexes) are built to find whole records or parts of records efficiently—but they aren’t designed to search for specific words inside a giant chunk of text.
Now, USA Spending is massive—about 1.5 terabytes—so if you want to find a specific word or phrase buried somewhere inside, the system struggles. It’s just not built for that kind of search.
What I did with http://datarepublican.com was add a reverse index on top of as many USA Spending records as possible. This makes searching much faster. When I run it locally, it’s 40% faster than grep—and that includes all the extra work like unzipping files, handling the user interface, and managing search requests. In other words, I made it as fast and searchable as possible. As a bonus, it is all client side, so it can never get overloaded like USA Spending so frequently does.
So instead of mocking the fact that we’re "rediscovering" data, maybe ask yourself why it’s been made so hard to search for this information in the first place.
I saw the wildest colored Cardinal last week. He was bright red body but his wings were orange colored. Had black tips on his wings and around his neck too. Parents are big bird lovers and have feeders everywhere for all types of birds. Never seen a cardinal with that color and pattern in my life.
