s like the military. The military always has a plan to attack anybody that looks like we might ever want to attack them. So yeah, of course they should definitely plan for what happens if Biden dropped dead during office. So I think there's no controversy there. That's just them doing a good job, I think. Meanwhile, Secretary Rollins was talking about how she's done a good job. She was on Fox Bus…

And Pam Bondi, AG, says that the goal is clear: to end illegal discrimination and to restore merit. So good. And of course, you know, there was a lot of pressure on Columbia for I think it was not just DEI but making sure that they were not anti-Semitic in effect. And now the Columbia University interim president just stepped down. So the regular president stepped down, too much pressure, and now the interim president just stepped down. I'll tell you, being the president of Columbia doesn't seem like a good deal. Nobody wants the job there. A lot of stepping down.

Because it's not like they're going to do without money. So according to Grok, they're going to replace it with a patchwork of higher gas taxes, sales taxes, lottery, something with more lotteries. But some of it they hope will be through growth because once they're a zero income tax state, they think they'll get a lot of businesses moving in. They might be right about that.
So if your income tax is 4 percent and you think you can phase it out, maybe it might be a really smart free market thing to do to just bring in busine

According to Roger Stone, who knows a lot about the JFK assassination because he wrote a book about it, so he's done a bunch of research, knows exactly what he's talking about. Joe Hoft is writing about this. So Stone says that he knows that there are some documents that have not been relea…
