I have been following his journey these past few months. I know he said he did not have much time left a few weeks ago but he was hoping it might be a few months. This is bittersweet in that you don't want to lose someone you love but you also don't want them living in pain and a drug stupor. We have all been touched by cancer taking friends and family. There seems to be so much cancer taking lives. Even with the advancements that have been made. There are so many different kinds of cancer doing different horrible things to the human body. It's hard to believe that there can be one fix for this dreadful disease. But I am no research scientist. Lord welcome him home and be with his family and friends who loved him.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Adams. You helped me maintain some semblance of sanity surrounded by your cartoons - pinned to my felt-clad cubical walls, and later, as a traveling trainer - your exquisite daily podcast propelling that treadmill. I had just started listening again in the past days and, like others, bracing for this news.

I read many of Scott's comic strips with smiles and laughter. I followed Scott's final months and his videos describing his disease. I'll miss his dry humor and depictions of office life. He certainly knew about difficult-to-work-for bosses. RIP, Scott.

Sad day, Scott Adams was an incredibly talented, clever and creative writer and cartoonist. His timeless humor brought many smiles and laughter. He will be missed, but his incredible sense of humor will live on forever. And typical, left garbage People magazine is referring to him as "disgraced Dilbert creator." If disgraced means being over the target to whiny snowflakes, and refusing to be bullied by them, I feel certain Scott would wear that description as a badge of honor. RIP Scott. Say hello to Rush and Charlie for us. Well done, good and faithful servant.

A Somali lawmaker described to the Daily Caller how his government functions as a “fraud pipeline,” siphoning U.S. tax dollars from foreign aid, health care and day care into one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world. Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib, a sitting member of the Somali Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of the People, told the Caller the corruption surfacing in Minnesota and across the United States did not emerge spontaneously, but is a downstream consequence of Somalia’s deeply entrenched system of corruption.

Australia’s new social media age-limit law, which set the minimum age for opening or maintaining a social media account to 16. The second-biggest news? As Australia’s law went into effect, there was a global chorus of parents, journalists, and political leaders who stood up, applauded the bold move, and asked, “Can we do that, too?” Bloomberg, in an article titled “TikTok, Instagram Ban for Australian Kids Heralds Global Curbs,” provides a list of countries in which legislation has been, or soon will be, introduced:(Snip) The idea is spreading, and each nation considering such a policy should ask two important questions:

"Can a man who’s warm understand one who’s freezing?" — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn If you want to see the true meaning behind Zohran Mamdani’s phrase “the warmth of collectivism,” take a look at that photo above, taken at one of the Soviet gulag work camps. The cold was unbearable, but the zeks — the inmates — bore it, until it killed some of them.

A history professor who has taught at Harvard for 40 years is publicly calling out the Ivy League school over race-based hiring and admissions policies, a “shocking indifference” to antisemitism, and for its eroding commitment to teaching students about Western history. James Hankins wrote in a Compact Magazine essay titled “Why I’m Leaving Harvard” that his decision was largely influenced by the school’s abandonment of merit in favor of diversity quotas, which he said entirely changed “the way we conducted our affairs,” leaving extraordinary candidates behind if they did not have Harvard’s desired skin color or gender.

Dear friends, family, admirers, and citizens of France and the world, We gather today in sorrow to bid farewell to Brigitte Bardot, affectionately known as B.B., an icon who illuminated the silver screen before she abandoned stardom for a path of unflinching principle. Born in 1934, she burst onto the scene as the epitome of beauty, sensuality, and rebellion in films like And God Created Woman (1956) and Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt (1963), becoming a global symbol of liberated femininity. Yet she walked away from Hollywood in 1973 to dedicate herself to causes greater than stardom—first to the voiceless animals (Snip)and later to the preservation of her beloved France itself.

It was bad enough that ostensibly conservative political commentators Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens both have been the main drivers of a growing divide in the MAGA movement, through their obsession with demonizing Israel and the Jews. Now they have also become leading Western apologists for Islam. Are they even conservative? Were they ever? (Owens in particular has never been committed to anything but her own grift.)

The Trump administration has canceled the Biden administration’s rules forcing banks to ignore immigration status for loan applications. On Monday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Justice Department eliminated the Biden guidelines that ordered lenders not to consider immigration status when evaluating loan and credit applications, a rule that had major implications for mortgages, credit cards, and auto loans, Bloomberg reported. The Biden administration maintained that considering immigration status would violate anti-racism laws that ensure equal and fair lending practices. The Biden era rules were intended to help anchor illegal and temporary visa workers into Americans’ communities, for example, by providing funds for homes, autos, and apartment leases.

The average national price for a gallon of gas dropped to $2.796, the lowest we’ve seen since 2021, per AAA.For obvious reasons, the White House is eager to spread this good news. “In 43 states, the average gas price is below $3/gal. In 30 states, it’s below $2.75/gal,” wrote the White House’s official Rapid Response X account. “In 17 states, it’s at or below $2.50/gal.”The cost of gas is the tip of the wedge to achieve that new word everyone’s using these days: affordability.Those gas station signs we all pass displaying that day’s cost per gallon acts as a national barometer about how we feel about the economy.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon - maybe even as early as Monday — is "ten times worse" than the "Quality Learing Center" daycare scam. In Shirley's previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years. And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise. Hoch says the new video will show that most of these companies are Somali-owned, and his and Shirley's visit to these companies found zero companies.
