IT'S JUST DIFFERENT VALLEYS, THAT'S ALL Kaleb Horton has departed this life, and for those left behind there is nothing that reconciles any part of what’s happened with what should’ve happened. He had a family, grieving now. He had friends,...

Some stories about my friend Kaleb, on the occasion of his funeral:

Thune plays the reasonable moderate, getting the lantern-jawed, steely-eyed-athletic-heartlander benefit of the doubt. But Thune (grandson of immigrants btw), who has been in the Senate for 20 yrs, is really the problem. Because he knows better but covers for the crazies. @profgalloway.com

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

I am prepared to acknowledge every conceivable criticism of the papacy but you cannot possibly contend that vague statements in favor of the poor are a new and divisive direction

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: β€œThis is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go β€˜this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

SHOCK CLAIM: RFK Jr. Says Children Circumcised Early Have Twice The Autism Rate Due To Tylenol Use
YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News SHOCK CLAIM: RFK Jr. Says Children Circumcised Early Have Twice The Autism Rate Due To Tylenol Use

🧡RFK "HIV-doesn't-cause-AIDS" Jr. is now linking circumcision with autism.

This nonsense was posted by his anti-vax group Children's Health Defense years ago, and I looked into it.

β€œOklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.

Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a β€œbubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a β€œbubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Our experience as military leaders has taught us that this commitment keeps our military
stronger and our communities safer. Any domestic deployment that fails to comply with the
foundational principles of the Posse Comitatus Act and similar authorities5
poses multiple risks to
the core mission of the Guard, the well-being of the troops, and the safety of the communities they
are committed to protect. First, deploying military personnel in the context of domestic law
enforcement diverts them from their primary mission, which is to train and to be ready to fight and
win the nation’s wars and protect communities after disasters. Accordingly, such assignments
come at the expense of local, state, and national safety, as well as troop morale. Second, activeduty National Guard personnel are neither intended nor specifically trained to conduct domestic
law enforcement operations. This poses a danger to the safety of both the troops and the public.
Third, use of federal military personnel in the context of law enforcement operations should be a
last resort to avoid the politicization of the military, which inevitably erodes public trust, hurts
recruitment, and undermines troop morale. Peaceful protests of government actions are
constitutionally protected political speech deserving of the highest protection, not intimidation by
the military

Meanwhile, here's part of the amicus brief from the military brass also filed today in the same case, in support of neither party, but definitely not in support of Trump.

Still in Broadview. At this point it's mostly press waiting around to see if they can spot any National Guard potentially rolling in tonight. Plenty of state troopers still on site.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House β€œAntifa” roundtable β€” most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

St. Paul’s mayoral candidates diverge on Summit Ave. bike trail State Rep. Kaohly Her questioned the planning around the bike trail, but said she was not ready to cancel it.

Kaohly Her is makign the same mistake that previous St. Paul political candidates have done, overestimating the Summit Avenue bikelash and playing coy / being condescending around public works process. That tactic has failed every time so far, and will here too. www.twincities.com/2025/10/07/s...

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Posobiec isn't a nazi in some generic rhetorical sense of having fascistic impulses or simply being far-right. He is a full-blown Hitler-loving Jew-hating mask-off literal capital-N Nazi, with a longstanding public record to match.
