Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Morgan Edge sends Clark Kent off to his doom, not relaizing of course that he's the invunerable Supes.

Kirby foresaw everything.

In 1970, Jack created Morgan Edge, a cruel corporate CEO that was now Clark Kent's boss. The ruthless Edge was secretly the head of Intergang.

Jack was interested in organized crime gaining a foothold in corporate America - particularly a giant media conglomerate.

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

As a serious, issues-minded conservative, I used to have an obsessive hatred of AOC. But now that she's gotten older, I've developed an obsessive hatred of Kat Abu.

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard.

I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate.

Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

It's a bit scary to think about the left falling for its own fake news, which is how the AI image feels. And the BS about the white supremacist acting as ICE. Like that's where we're going even though it isn't necessary.
