YES:
In every millennial couple I know, the men do a lot of the cooking—often most of it. Outdated relationship narratives that still get used to shame men need to go! It just isn’t how it is anymore. https://t.co/yqZJPvGtA0

GenX here, but Melissa does almost all of the indoor cooking, and I do all of the grilling and smoking — which when the weather is nice, is often.
THE JONES ACT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPEALED DECADES AGO: Trump’s War With Iran Pushed Him To Waive a Century-Old Shipping Law. Commerce Boomed. “America is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of propane, but the lack of Jones Act–compliant ships capable of carrying gas means that it has been nearly impossible to ship propane from the mainland to outlying parts of the country. In the past, Puerto Rico has imported gas from Nigeria, Chile, and elsewhere because those deliveries don’t have to comply with the Jones Act.”

Which is all the answer you need, really.
THERE’S NO MENTION OF HEALTH CARE OR INSURANCE IN THE CONSTITUTION:
That’s not enough. We should cut more. People should pay for their own healthcare. And the government should get out of the healthcare business so we don’t have the Obamacare system that is absolutely screwed up – just as we warned it would be. https://t.co/NuzQEIi3tp

Also, health spending eventually crowds out spending on things the government is actually supposed to do — which is happening already.
It happens at the expense of the young, too.

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED: ‘Why Is Everyone Investing in Texas?’
“Texas has been one of the biggest winners of the blue state exodus, and now it’s pushing to become a real financial powerhouse.”
“If Texas were its own country, its economy would be the eighth largest in the world. Bigger than Russia, bigger than Canada, bigger than Italy. That’s the state’s preliminary 2025 GDP, $2.9 trillion, measured against every other nation on Earth.”
“Goldman Sachs is building an 800,000 square foot campus in Dallas. When it opens, more than 5,000 people will work there. It’ll be the firm’s second largest office in the United States. Goldman isn’t moving its headquarters, but between 2015 and 2024, 314 companies did. Nearly half of them, 154, went to Dallas Fort Worth. By 2026, Texas had 57 Fortune 500 headquarters, more than any other state, with about $2.8 trillion in combined annual revenue.”
Profit is helluva motive.

DataRepublican laid it out: coordinated clashes with the federal government to delegitimize it and hand legitimacy to Democratic state officials — specifically governors & AGs.
‼️Virginia’s AG just ordered election officials to:
• Deny ordinary DOJ monitors access to polls
• Tell federal agents to leave and call local police
• Document badges, weapons, vehicles & movements
• Challenge federal subpoenas
• While eliminating Election Day voter eligibility challenges❌No specific unlawful federal operation identified—just preemptive resistance that sets up the “red line” showdown and shifts authority to the state and transfers legitimacy and control to Democratic state officials — in Virginia’s case, leftwing extremists Governor Abigail Spanberger and Attorney General Jay Jones.
❌This is an operational plan, not theory.
❌The conditions for escalation are being set in advance.
🇺🇸SHARE with your friends. VOTE REPUBLICAN.

ANDY KESSLER: Have Some Manners, People: We’re too deep in the era of ‘me, me, me’ to care about common decency and courtesy. “I’m not pining for a return to the Victorian era, but politeness and decency should include respect, common interest and nailing a spike into today’s rampant narcissism. Many of my incoming emails are as courteous as a mule kick to the head. I’m used to it, but please don’t dictate a response to this column on your next flight.”
Well, it’s hard to be polite in this environment:

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY (RUSSO-UKRAINE WAR EDITION): Blaze at St. Petersburg oil sites as Kyiv launches more than 1,000 drones at Russia. “One person was killed, and five more were wounded in the attack, which sparked fires at both the Petersburg Oil Terminal and the city’s Ruchi oil depot, said local Gov. Alexander Beglov. A logistics center belonging to Russian retailer Ozon and a data center for local tech giant VK were also targeted, both companies confirmed.”
