“Elitism?”
Let’s turn this around………..
Let’s use Marco Rubio as an example, a very qualified individual for the Secretary of State. If you were building a house would you hire Marco to do the plumbing?
Of course not because Marco has no qualifications to do plumbing work, and doesn’t know his a$$ from his elbow about plumbing.
So why would you hire a hot headed former plumber and MMA fighter with no qualifications and doesn’t know his a$$ from his elbow to protect the country???
You can’t make this chit up.

A far-left online streamer who has made several controversial statements, including saying, "America deserved 9/11," has been making several appearances with Democratic lawmakers in recent years, including a top Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, who is set to team up with him next month.
Amid a heated Democratic primary, progressive Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is aligning himself with far-left Democrat figures, hosting an event with controversial streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker at Michigan State University on April 7, according to a press release.
"Get ready. We’re coming," Piker said in a post to social media, highlighting that the pair would also be joined by Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., another progressive.
The event will also feature unnamed "special guests," according to the release.

Maine lobster industry hit by harsh winter, falling catch and rising costs
A decline in lobster catch because of brutally cold temperatures this season may have the price tag of lobster rolls going up.
www.foxbusiness.com
The state, the largest lobster producer in the U.S., recorded its fourth consecutive annual decline in total catch, according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources.
A key driver was fewer days on the water. Maine lobster harvesters took more than 21,000 fewer fishing trips in 2025 than in 2024, the agency said. Total landings fell to just over 78 million pounds, the lowest level since 2008.
"It started in December, and in December you usually get to fish a lot of days, and we didn't get to fish," said lobsterman Greg Turner.

Damn climate change, I tell ya.
It sounds to me like Mr Greg Turner is attributing the decline in the number of fishing trips due to cold weather, and the boats not being able to get out. Makes me wonder if fewer boats got out to do lobstering due to other reasons? Perhaps, fewer lobsters? Maybe Roccus7 will chime in.Maine lobster industry hit by harsh winter, falling catch and rising costs

The analysis found that the SFL would affect only the top 0.05% of couples in the early years of its implementation who have benefits over $100,000 and total average retirement income over $2.5 million per year, with an average net worth above $65 million.
Over time, more retirees would be affected by the SFL, with the top 1% of couples receiving 5% less in benefits on average by 2030 with no impact on the bottom 90%. That would shift to a 7% benefit reduction in 2040 for the top 1% and no impact on the bottom 80%; and to a 24% benefit reduction for the top 1% in 2060 with no impact on the bottom 70% of households.

Indicted Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick faces rare House ethics hearing
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick will face a rare House Ethics Committee public hearing Thursday, with expulsion on the table amid a federal indictment.
www.foxnews.com
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., is expected to testify before the House Ethics Committee during a rare public hearing Thursday afternoon. The case is separate from a sprawling federal indictment accusing Cherfilus-McCormick of stealing more than $5 million in disaster relief funds to finance her inaugural congressional run in 2021 and purchase luxury items, including a large diamond ring. The Florida Democrat is also alleged to have participated in a straw donor scheme and conspired to file a false federal tax return.
Cherfilus-McCormick has repeatedly sought to delay the hearing, citing the ongoing federal criminal case and losing her legal representation earlier in March. It is not clear whether the Florida Democrat will be represented by an attorney at the hearing.
