As a grown man with an action figure collection, I’m ashamed I never put together: Clark Kent, Climate Refugee

Wait till these guys find out about Jesus.

No matter how much press this receives, it will deserve more

If you have ever told someone “we aren’t a democracy, we’re a republic” I am wholly uninterested in any additional analysis you can provide.

Pete Hegseth: ‘There Are No State Secrets In A Healthy Relationship’   WASHINGTON—Staunchly defending his decision to share sensitive military data in messages to his wife, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Monday, “There are no state secrets in a healthy relationship.” “Communication is key in every strong marriage, and that includes communication about airstrikes on foreign adversaries,” said the Pentagon chief, who called the mere idea […]
