Based on book sales, readers are apparently not interested in paying $26 to "better understand" the personality of Jill Biden.
Twitter reactions to the disappointing book sales had many commentators asking how the first lady to the most popular president in U.S. history could have such pathetic sales numbers. President Joe Biden set a new record with 81,284,000 votes in the 2020 election.
Columnist Tim Young pointed out, "81 million votes, but Jill Biden's new biography only sold 250 total copies in 1 week."

World to run out of food in 27 years and 248 Days! - American Thinker"According to a report in the U.K. tabloid the Daily Star, some scientists are now predicting that the world will run out of food in 27 years.

Serf or Slave? The Tax Man Cometh - Intellectual Takeout
Serf or Slave? The Tax Man Cometh - Intellectual Takeout link
- On April 13th I sent a whopping check to the federal government and a lesser one to the government of Virginia. The total of these two checks equaled about 25 percent of my income.
- Throw in sales tax on food and goods, the tax on gasoline and heating fuel, the property tax I pay through my rent to my landlord, sundry other taxes, and the money I now pay annually for a business license—yep, you read that right, a guy sitting at the dining room table tapping a keyboard is a business—and I’m guessing I pay 35-40 percent of my money to local, state, and federal government.
- Throw in the hidden tax of inflation, which has risen now to staggering levels, and I’m probably waving goodbye to 50 percent of my earnings.
- That’s interesting, because as several online commentators point out, a medieval serf paid his lord between 25 percent and 33 percent in labor or in crops. Most of us, particularly those in the dwindling middle class, shell out more than did those European peasants to their masters through the many hidden taxes that Americans pay...

"The Open Markets Institute believes the deal poses a number of immediate and direct threats to American democracy and free speech," the organization declared in a statement.
Barry Lynn, director of the OMI, claimed that Musk's acquisition violates several laws, most of which are more than 100 years old. But Lynn's chief complaint is that Musk's purchase of Twitter while he owns Starlink, a satellite-powered broadband internet service, violates antitrust laws.
