NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has admitted that he aims to piss off MAGA fans as he debuts his car sponsored by vaccine provider Kroger Health and the COVID-19 vaccine Nuvaxovid.
Indeed, Wallace got people talking when he drove his No. 23 Toyota Camry in the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, the Daily Mail reported.
In an interview with the New York Times-owned The Athletic, Wallace admitted that his vax-pushing sponsors are “feeding right into” those who are uncomfortable with the COVID vaccines. He added that he is “Just pissing off the keyboard warriors. Man, why not, right? Here we are.”
He went on to explain why he took on the sponsors.
“The Kroger Health side of things: get your flu shot. People are going to lose their minds over the COVID-19 stuff, but for us it’s about building opportunities for people to be more educated on getting their flu shots, and then taking care of their health and moving forward with that,” he said.
“Everyone else can make their own in lines, but we’re all in it together to help everybody’s health,” Wallace insisted.
SOMEHOW HISTORY DIDN’T BEGIN UNTIL HOGAN’S HEROES:
The mislabeling is not accidental, of course. The Left calls any opposition “fascist,” “Nazi,” etc., as a way of justifying extralegal measures to suppress dissent, including terrorist violence. https://t.co/IEd2qt3Gog
Last year, when CBS’s Margaret Brennan absurdly claimed to Marco Rubio that JD Vance “was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide,” Mark Steyn responded, “I did not think it was possible to despise the ‘mainstream’ media more than I already did. In a society thoroughly moronized by Brain-Dead Brennan and her ilk, Hitler is the sole remaining historical figure anybody’s heard of. And they can’t even get that right. ‘Weaponising’ free speech? What does that even mean? In Germany, tweets get you gaoled but rape is just part of your ‘cultural tradition’. And CBS News knows which side it’s on.”
The left playing the Nazi card should a death’s head, err, dead end these days:

Leftwing white women are always trying to argue that they should be considered equals with, say, immigrant men and black men in the Privilege Pyramid, but black men and immigrant men continue to disagree about that.
The looters not only don’t care about what the leftwing white women say, but they completely disagree with them. Looting their stores is their cause. Leftwing white women say “no, only loot from the straight white men,” and their allies say, “According to our rules, rules you signed up for by the way, you are oppressors, nearly as evil as straight white men, and your stores should be looted alongside those of straight white men.”
In the same post, Ace of Spades links to another example of leftist autophagy, in which a white woman and a Latino man scream at each other in woke leftist cliches to compete for the gold medal in the Victim Olympics. Definitely stick around to the end, for the perfect punchline:
HONESTLY, THE PRICE ISN’T BAD: 1966 Cadillac DeVille Convertible for Sale With 79,000 Miles Shown. “The 1966 DeVille convertible is one of the great American luxury cruisers, and this one has been refreshed for regular use. It carries power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench, automatic climate control, and an AM/FM radio, and the seller says it appeared in the 1997 film What the Deaf Man Heard. Bidding stands at $9,000 with four days remaining and seven bids placed.”
WHAT DO YOU TAKE TO MAKE THEM GO AWAY? This mysterious mushroom makes people see hundreds of tiny humans. “Researchers at the University of Utah (U) used DNA sequencing to identify Lanmaoa asiatica as the mushroom responsible for these unusual hallucinations in Southwest China and the northern Philippines. Surprisingly, their investigation found no evidence of any known psychoactive mushroom compounds, including psilocybin.”
RODGERS IS RETIRING AFTER THIS SEASON, SO HE’S A STEELER WHO’S ALL OUT OF FRENCHY FUQUAS TO GIVE:
Aaron Rodgers sat at that podium in Paris and said out loud what the corporate league office spends millions trying to sanitize.
The NFL talks endlessly about “player safety” and “expanding the global game.” But behind closed doors, owners scrapped player-friendly bye weeks,…
He can't condemn the ad because it's his position.
What would he say? Mechanically? What words could he use, in what order, that condemned the ad without also condemning all of the things he's said demonizing Israel? https://t.co/fdzVNanjEd
ICYMI: Good Guys With Guns Save a Whole Lotta Lives. “More than one-third of “active shooter situations” in recent years were stopped by good guys with guns, according to a new study by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) — completely blowing away the FBI’s official stats.”
Enemies always aim at chokepoints and weaknesses. Aerial bombardment goes for railroad stations and bridges. Communists and Islamists exploit the soft hearts and minds of liberals. Criminal cartels and the West’s strategic rivals are exploiting the infrastructure of commerce and convenience. The techies are running around like HVAC engineers in a heat wave, and they’re warning that they’re struggling to keep up. The lights may not have gone out yet, but Black October is a warning.
While AI sharpened new weapons through recursive self-improvement, the federal government, which is neither recursive nor self-improving, dozed at the switch. Silicon Valley vaunts its bold operations on the frontier, but it failed to post sentries. Corporations such as Stop & Shop, which went offline for more than a week after a breach at its Dutch parent company, Ahold Delhaize, took your money without fully securing their virtual premises. The phish stinks from the head.
We are all going to need degrees in PHP and digital self-defense, just as Covid-19 obliged us to become expert in viral loading, spike proteins and, for advanced students of Fauciology, furin cleavage sites. Perhaps it’s no bad thing that we prep for digital blackouts as we prep against the liabilities of our weak infrastructure by storing up for real ones. It might do us some good, as people and as a society, to take back some responsibility. The home is the most important private sector of all.

Meta said Monday that it is planning to raise a total of $95 billion to support its investments in AI infrastructure and superintelligence.
The stock was up 1.6% in premarket trading after the announcement.
The tech giant will initially raise $35 billion in underwritten public equity offerings, before later raising an additional $60 billion with an at-the-market program.
Meta’s planned investments will support “emerging AI opportunities” including its family of apps, its AI agent Muse and its data center business.
Last week, investors retreated from big tech on fears that AI spending is unsustainable. This week, they’re buying Meta on news of massive new AI spending.
So who knows?

Former Venezuelan presidential candidate Alejandro Peña Esclusa is right. It is impossible for the right to have won the parliamentary elections 20 days ago so convingly and for Lula to have won yesterday with four million votes. As my friend Alejandro says, this was a coup. https://t.co/8SalcJ2JZ5
I’m very sad to hear of the passing of Walter Koenig, aka Pavel Chekov from Star Trek. I got to meet him on a few occasions, and he was always genuine, thoughtful, and a little anxious in a way that made him very relatable. R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/XaCne7YtMI
A 2026 BBC undercover investigation documented a network of UK legal advisers and firms charging thousands of pounds to coach migrants, particularly those from Pakistan and Bangladesh, to falsely claim they are gay in order to obtain asylum.
The advisers provided guidance on fabricating evidence such as staged photographs, support letters, and medical reports, prompting arrests and Home Office action against those involved in the scheme.
In the United States, sexual orientation is a recognized basis for asylum or withholding of removal. Federal authorities have prosecuted attorneys and preparers for coaching clients to fabricate persecution claims, including those based on LGBT status.
Well into the 60 Minutes report, they acknowledge that “the U.S. had a right to deport him, but not to Mali.”
They didn’t. They sent him to Ghana. Aside from the entire premise being false, the outlet did a bang-up job reporting here.
By ignoring the fraudulent core of his asylum file to run a sympathetic family package, 60 Minutes got completely caught spinning a false narrative that collapsed rather swiftly.
And once again, a 60 Minutes story cannot survive contact with the real world.
Kevin Warsh has described business investment as “the seed corn of future economic growth.” He is right. The Fed’s September statement described robust capital investment and strong productivity growth alongside resilient spending. Those investments represent businesses putting their money behind America’s future. Their success can mean better jobs, lower production costs, and more opportunity. That future belongs in the Fed’s calculation alongside the spending those investments generate today.
That is why a pause makes sense when officials meet on Oct. 27 and 28. September’s rate increase remains in place. Before raising rates again, the Fed should explain how much further inflation relief it expects, how long that relief would take, and what investment and employment it could put at risk. The benefits and costs deserve the same scrutiny.
Leaving rates unchanged during rising inflation goes against expert advice, but the experts also told us stagflation was impossible — right up until it happened in the ’70s.
