    Regarding the MyPillow meme: Buy a MyPillow, and you are supporting my Florida Tech (er, Patrick Henry) university. Prof. Gordon Nelson, with whom I am a minor collaborator, developed the flame-retardant polymer foam that is in MyPillow, and licensed it to Mike Lindell. That paid for a new building at my campus. As I pay Galt's Gulch for advertising on this site, I thought you should know part of what is being advertised.

    Penguins explained:
    Commerce Secretary Explains Why Trump Is Tariffing Penguins

    Everyone knows Donald Trump’s new import taxes are hitting China, Vietnam, and plenty of other countries that have spent decades stealing American jobs. But were you aware they apply to penguins, too?

    Heard and McDonald Islands, positioned west of Australia and exclusively inhabited by those flightless birds, are among the dozens of territories facing the new 10% levies. Commerce chief Howard Lutnick explained why on Sunday, saying, “The idea is that there are no countries left off’’ the White House’s list.

    “What happens is, if you leave anything off the list, the countries that try to basically arbitrage America go through those countries to us,’’ he told CBS’s Face the Nation. “Any country. Like, we had tariffs — the president put tariffs on China, right, in 2018 — and then what China started doing is they started going through other countries to America.”

    It’s worth wondering if the penguin development could unlock a new liberal electoral strategy. Whether we like it or not, these tariffs will probably make the fowls pretty anti-Trump. Will the Left try to flood America with millions of penguins in hopes of them becoming loyal Democrat voters as they have with illegal immigrants? We wouldn’t put it past them. Read more.
