Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

U.S. officials can’t find any Greenlanders who want to talk to Usha Vance A local travel company in Greenland’s capital also cancelled a planned visit by Usha Vance

Stalking Greenlanders is not a good look for the U.S.

The only job more precarious than playing centerfield for the Detroit Tigers is playing drums for Spinal Tap.

Billionaire media owners use their platforms to advocate for policies that benefit them at the expense of the public interest. When these few broligarchs control the levers of information, they wield a hefty amount of power; power that they continue to abuse. Fight back by checking their "facts."

After today's huge stock slide, it looks like more for tomorrow. The markets are looking at another percent or two. This would be the biggest 10 day drop since March of 2020, at the very start of the COVID pandemic. The biggest movers aren't small investors, they are Wall Streeters. Consider that.

Many of the same people that cheer the news that English was declared the official language of the U.S. do not know the difference between there, their, and they're. I am in awe that they have reached the very pinnacle of irony.

Congressman Mike Lawler's gubernatorial aspirations are quickly going up in smoke. He's become the face of Republican cruelty and insincerity in #NYS. He promised a town hall in Rockland a few weeks back. It's doubtful it will happen.

Anger at Elon Musk's attempts to takeover and dismantle the U.S. Government has reached a boiling point. I've personally seen Teslas vandalized and now there's the defacing of retail sites and charging stations are being set ablaze. www.msn.com/en-us/crime/...

2025 Governors Ball - US Army - "Do You Hear the People Sing" Dunning Kruger Self Own by Trump
YouTube video by Anti Trump 2025 Governors Ball - US Army - "Do You Hear the People Sing" Dunning Kruger Self Own by Trump

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

I saw a Tesla on the Palisades Parkway this afternoon and somebody—very likely it was not the owner—had affixed a nicely designed "SWASTICAR" sticker on the rear bumper. The defacing of private property is against the law and I frown upon such actions...after enjoying a nice chuckle about it first.

Stocks tumbled nearly 600 points after Walmart earnings are predicted to decline for the 1st time in 3 years, home construction slows due to tariff fears, hundreds of thousands of government jobs chopped, and federal contracts canceled. The warning signs of what was an avoidable recession are ahead.

It takes an Invisible Congress and a submissive Supreme Court to allow for the creation of an Imperial Presidency. And here we are...and then some!

The removal of HIV & LGBTQ resources from the websites of the CDC creates a dangerous gap in scientific information and data to monitor and respond to disease outbreaks.

Hedge funds massive bet on stock market crash raises alarm for 401k's Hedge funds have placed billions in short bets against U.S. stocks, signaling fears of a market collapse that could devastate 401(k)s and retirement savings while fueling Wall Street panic.

Hedge funds are making a multi-billion dollar bet on a stock market crash, mostly as a result of tariffs, which will leave those of us that rely on 401(k)s holding the bag. #stockmarketcrash #TariffsImpact #tarrifs #wallstreet

When we are long gone, historians (the few of them that will have survived) will call this period we live in "The Fuckening."

When eggs hit $4.15 in December, right-wing pundits blamed the Biden's economic policies, but now they're passing $6 a dozen and will soon reach $8-9, they same pundits are using the bird flu to nuance and deflect the issue. What happened to lowering grocery prices on Day 1? Coffee prices are next!

Not that I will do any of these, but:

1. Get a job that pays under the table.
2. Don't engage in interstate commerce.
3. Do not fly or take Amtrak.
4. Pay cash.
5. Ignore Federal jury duty.
6. Kill all your social media accounts.
