The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs.

better idea: take the billions budgeted to ICE and redistribute to TSA workers who provide a more meaningful security service to the American people. Then shut down ICE, free all the migrant families and naturalized citizens, and charge Stephen Miller with civil rights crimes.

Is it normal for the president of the United States to pathetically plead for the nations of the world to come bail him out of the disaster he created entirely on his own?

Trump two weeks ago: woooooo!!! America!!! yeah!!!

Trump today: hopefully China, France, Japan, others will be sending ships..

So Trump started a war in which it's "easy" for the other side to shoot our very important targets in multiple ways, he has no current plan to fix that, but "hopefully" some other countries will bail him out? That's a pretty devastating confession.

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

🤦🏼‍♀️

lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

Columbo as metacognition exemplar. He understands his own thought process, if something bothers him, he pays attention to it.

The article says the terror charges are for a variety of alleged actions. Antifa seems to be more or less irrelevant other than to make the defendants more "scary."

But still it is a bit much that the law has such weak reasons for the "terrorism" label.

Anti-ICE protesters accused of being part of antifa found guilty of support for terrorism in Texas Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters * Sign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts in your inbox A group of protesters in Texas was found guilty of providing support for terrorism and other charges on Friday in a closely watched case in which prosecutors alleged anti-ICE activists were actually part of an antifa cell. The case was seen as a major test of the first amendment and whether the government could use a broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters. It marked the first time the government alleged individuals were part of an antifa terrorist cell in a criminal prosecution. Continue reading...

The part in blue is a story I am following closely. Trump officials seem to classify David Ellison as an ally, who will alter CNN's coverage to make it more "friendly."

What happens if he complies? What happens if he doesn't? Both are huge for Obanization.

A movement that wrapped itself in flags and “law and order” keeps producing the same pattern: extremism, violence, and abuse. Pardons did not cleanse the record, they erased accountability. When power excuses this behavior, it signals that loyalty matters more than law or basic decency.

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

No question is rhetorical or hypothetical on the internet

Solid truth here.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Connect the dots

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

This is from 1975.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.

I rarely do this, but here goes.

Dems should have VERY clear messaging on supplemental tied to the ouster of Whiskey Pete, Jared, and Witkoff. They've all ABSOLUTELY bolloxed the situation and if Trump wants $$, he needs to get rid of all of them.

I miss MTV's Liquid Television.

It was really good.

So good.
