The price of one Baby Snuglesβ„’ doll is 25% lower than two Barbies were last year! So let's hear no more about affordability from the radical left Marxists.

Breaking news -

Epstein is mentioned at least 100 times in the Trump files. His name appears repeatedly on Trump's flight records flying to Trump golf clubs and there are many references to him being provided with young women at Mar-a-lago, some of whom appear to be under age.

It's comforting to know that although air traffic controllers will be working without pay, congress people will be paid without working. So it all balances out.

Trumpian meritocracy.

One side says it's life as normal, but the other says that an asteroid hit and wiped out half the population. Who's to say which side is right? It depends on who you ask.

A tweet that reads: My therapist, who was trained by the famed psychiatrist Victor Frankl, said to me today that the majority of his clients right now are dealing the same basic issue:

We have all lost any concept of the future.

We're all just getting through the day or the week.

Our horizons have shrunk.

We feel overwhelmed and overstimulated.

I never understood how much the concept of a better future made my current life more liveable, made hard times easier to cope with, and supported my creativity.

In case you're struggling to find the words for why you're feeling the way you do.

So the president can now create federal law with the stroke of a pen and empower the military to arrest American civilians. How convenient for him.

The feds say everything inside the facility is perfect and yet won't allow congresspeople entry to inspect it

Yeah, that doesn't sound fishy at all.

I just read a post on X from a radical MAGA Schumer hater, outraged his health insurance doubled.

Think he realizes Schumer is fighting FOR him? The stupid disconnect is palpable.

If Trump doesn't golf today we can safely assume he's dead. Impeach Stephen Miller!

If ICE can drag American citizens and their kids naked from their beds in a Chicago apartment building without warrants, what's keeping them from doing the same at your apartment building or home? Or MSNBC? Or the halls of Congress?

Or your polling location on election day?

Or your kids' school?

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he would be directing Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to "provide all necessary troops" to protect "war-ravaged Portland," Oregon.

They're going to clear the people out and turn it into the Riviera of the Pacific Northwest.

Here is the difference between right and left wing terrorists.

The right wing terrorist opens fire with a military grade assault rifle.

The left wing terrorist pauses an elevator for a couple of minutes.

So they are nearly equivalent.

I know, the world seems like it's gone to shit right now. Military patrolling the streets, economy swirling in the toilet, masked government thugs kidnapping people, fascists neutering the judiciary and congress, free speech under attack... but remember.

It can only good happen.

You're welcome.

We often skip the interview portions of the late night shows, but Jon Stewart's interview of Maria Ressa last night is worth watching.

I'm that kind of leftist during the primaries, which my preferred candidate never wins. Once those are over, it's really stupid to help the Nazis win.

I'm a little left of Trotsky, and I don't understand how receiving a call from a former president makes one a corporatist. I had plenty of issues with Obama, but I'd take him over any of his predecessors going back to Reagan, let alone anyone in the current regime. Or Cuomo.

Trump is amazing.
He's only been in charge of DC for one day and crime is at its lowest level it's been in 30 years.

I mean, except for the past 6 months, when it was also at its lowest level in 30 years.

Dear Trump spokespeople,

Stop complaining about the South Park episode.

It was just locker-room talk.

Sincerely,
Etc etc etc

All this fawning conversation about a crude, profane cartoon show that brutally insulted the President of the United States only serves to distract from the fact that the Epstein files have still not been released to the public.

(It was a great show, though.)

News from tomorrow, probably:

Trump issues an executive order renaming Mexican Coke (made with cane sugar) to American Coke and putting his face on the can in gold leaf.

Trump was not one of Epstein's clients.

He was Epstein's partner.

We took the grandkids to the National Museum of Art on Monday. The seven and eight year olds found all the naked butts and such pretty funny in the first room of statues, by the third room they weren't even noticing them anymore, they were just enjoying the art.

There is a lesson in there.

Instead kept it working right up until he knew that Trump would come back into the presidency. Just to make Trump look bad.

Diabolical.

You've got to hand it to Sleepy Joe. For a senile incompetent old fool, he was an evil genius. Just think about it - he refused to follow Trump's brilliant plan that would have fixed our failing air traffic control system.
