House lawmakers approved H.Con.Res.58 stating that Congress “denounces socialism in all its forms” and “opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States”. Sponsors said the vote answers a growing push to normalize far-left economics and election ideas.
Backers argued the United States must protect liberty, markets, and family prosperity from centralized control. The measure passed with full Republican support among those voting and modest crossover from Democrats, signaling a clear, formal stand by the chamber.
The text links socialism with threats to freedom and prosperity and asserts that concentrated state power undermines individual rights. A House Financial Services Committee release said the resolution affirms that America rejects socialism because it endangers the freedoms that define the nation.
Lawmakers paired the message with commitments to free and secure elections. The stated aim is to tell voters, agencies, and states that Congress backs the Constitution’s limits on government and the dignity of work and private enterprise.

AI who is afraid of the big bad AI? I have to say something. I have been using AI for information and it is holding true to form.The reason the Social Media does not like AI is it tells the truth about them! I went on a search and ask AI if Social Media could brain wash people into doing bad thins and it said YES! It explained how and if you ask it it will tell you.

While watching TV on 911, I remember seeing the planes hit the tower when it happened. I remember during the crisis, the air space was shut down because there were 6 planes un-account for, only one was a high jacked plane, but they did not know it at the time. President Bush was rushed to Air Force one. It would come out later they zig zag around the Gulf of America while they could make sure he was safe and the crisis was over. They were thinking about shooting down any plane that did not respond. It was shocking!
Today they estimate 9,000 death from the attack. A third died in the towers, the others from related illnesses from the toxic fumes and dust. I remember seeing videos of people being helped down the streets covered in dust / soot and blood. On a video I saw one man dive under a vehicle to take cover he was trying to get to his people and was not in time, I think he was the CEO that lost over six hundred people in the towers.
The remembrance was phenomenal at the ceremonies many of the families were there and honoring the fallen. Mamdani the Mayor of New York attended after being ask not to come with 110,000 signatures presented to him! Continue reading

Tyson’s beef unit swung to a quarterly operating loss and reported volumes down while prices rose, a classic sign of tight input supply. Executives told investors the beef segment lost $138 million in the quarter, with volume down nearly 16 percent and pricing up about 12 percent, reflecting constrained supply and higher cattle costs.
Management had already warned that full-year beef losses would widen if supplies stayed tight, and later trimmed the company’s profit outlook as the cattle shortage dragged on.
Publishers note: I wonder if the shortage is because China has purchased Tyson’s beef operation?
