Opinion | There’s a Simpler Explanation for the Rightward Shift of Young Men

Let's ignore the negative treatment of women and minorities -- NYT column invites you to sympathize exclusively with white men who feel "like a door has been slammed in your face or closed before you ever reach it."

Imagine the horror of two loving parents being stabbed to death by their own son. Instead of being shaken by the mere thought, political glee and vengeful nastiness emerges from our President.

Trump is twisted and sick himself.

Speaker Mike Johnson (GOP) never, ever sees anything -- it is his classic dodge. He is a know-nothing and unfit for office, according to the words coming out of his own mouth.

The Florida Legislature is not your friend • Florida Phoenix Ever get the feeling the Florida Legislature hates you? It does. Unless you’re a developer, a lobbyist, or a fetus. Members are filing hell-born bills for the 2026 session, many apparently designed to...

Jesus! So much for a clean slate!

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

Let me get this straight. You will give me back my $2000 I gave you (and more) in tariff taxes instead of just getting rid of the tariffs?

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

BBC Tells Trump To Sod Off ... Politely - Above the Law Bugger off!

#NastyGram label applied to Trump's BBC "threat of a $1 billion shakedown" letter -- a demand rejected in the most frigidly British manner. Way to go!

The lack of medical concern in ICE raids is beyond shocking. There are many film clips where an ambulance should be called -- not 6 burly men haul their likely injured target out of a car and all pile on.

Border Patrol Told Fellow Agent to Tear Gas Protesters “For Fun” Agents also mocked protesters whom they tear-gassed.

Opinion | Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?

One useless opinion piece -- a conservative man #Mansplaining #Feminism. The comments are uniformly critical. Enjoyed comment that the workplace does not belong to men.

The Good Grey Lady of journalism flopped -- a bad choice by the the NYTimes.

Outside ICE Broadview, near Chicago, the state just branded the crowd an ‘unlawful assembly.’ Illinois troopers lining up, masks down, chemical rounds ready. This is what ‘law and order’ looks like when the system feels fear.

Some new ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting The recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources to...

It’s time for a congressional hearing to find out what % of ICE recruits come from J6 participant ranks as well as Oath Keepers & Proud Boys. Americans need to know this now + we need an ombudsman for oversight over ICE reinstated. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Good Lord, that’s one way to put it. Pretty accurate, actually.

Critics question whether White House, contractors 'cut corners' on asbestos safety in East Wing demolition Critics are questioning if the demolition of the White House East Wing adhered to federal health and safety standards, including those governing the handling of asbestos.

Critics? Experts.

Federal law requires comprehensive asbestos inspection, notification, and abatement before any demolition," wrote the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) last week. "No publicly available information demonstrates that these statutory obligations have been fulfilled."

So, buying a Cybertruck was like buying the #FordEdsel -- so bad that it was sold only from 1958-1960.

#CyberLemon -- would that term work?

We stopped a street naming of Charlie Kirk Way in Clearwater, Florida! The motion failed.
