As the fight for democracy goes inward and autocracies gloat, the number of those of us who still demand democracy promotion abroad continues to dwindle… To one. To the last neoconservative.
Was there a better reason?

I know you're never supposed to mention Hitler and Nazism -- I don't care. So, I ask: Did Hitler and the Wehrmacht "earn" the territory they conquered? Why is an American ambassador talking like this?

A brutal invading dictator who is also wanted war criminal needs to be arrested and hanged. Not awarded with Ukrainian territory.
Glory to Ukraine and fuck Putin, may he burn in hell for eternity.
There is no such fucking thing as “culinary sanctuary.” It doesn’t exist. It is a complete fabrication by people who desperately need grievances as their political fuel.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:
*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)
Do you feel safer?
Based on the figures in the poll, a re-run of 2024 (which obviously is not happening in 2025), would have Harris at +8. That would be the largest popular vote margin since 1988. That is a serious shift, folks.

Undocumented immigrants aren’t showing up to work because they face a double threat:
📌 ICE could roll up to the job site, because it’s easier to target hardworking people than go after real criminals.
📌 When the work’s done, some employers refuse to pay and threaten to call ICE.
