If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Charlie Kirk dropped out of an Illinois community college after one semester. He later advised Gen Z that today's higher ed probably isn't worth it. A perfect icon for this regime's attitude toward becoming educated

I personally would not say shit to Ilhan Omar when her blood sugar is almost certainly at an ebb

A screenshot of a tweet by @DarrigoMelanie. it says: “Updated:” and has a screenshot of a Trump tweet from 10/9/12. Trump originally said: “Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin-watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.” The ‘updated’ version says: “Now that my poll numbers are in tailspin-watch for me to launch a strike in Iran. I am desperate.”

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

MAGA: I'm voting Trump because I'm sick of never ending wars and Trump promises no more wars and America First!

[Trump bombs 8 countries, perpetuates genocide in Gaza, and bombs Iran during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan]

MAGA: This is what I voted for!!!

I guess Operation Epic Fury is better branding than Operation Please Stop Talking About Epstein or Operation Maybe This Will Help Me in the Midterms or Operation We'll Work Out the Details Later.

What's a song or a piece of music that you'll admit you love while the rest of the listening audience groans?

I am still a fan of Vangelis's score for CHARIOTS OF FIRE. I still listen to that whole album while I'm writing.

(It's playing, much to my surprise, in this pub on a Friday night.)

Epstein files contain explicit but unsubstantiated claim that Trump abused minor Department of Justice did not release FBI memos when it uploaded millions of pages of files beginning in December

⚠️ The Guardian obtained missing FBI reports from interviews with a woman who alleges Trump abused her as a child:

“She claimed that when they were alone, Trump ‘mentioned something to the effect of: “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,”’ before attempting to sexually assault her.”

Sean Feucht: Never imagined a theologian I once looked up to would became (sic) so unblievably WOKE while weaponizing scripture to justify the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation.

He's QT'ing John Piper, who's quoting Leviticus 19:34: "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God."

Christ tells us that what we do to the poor, the vulnerable, and the stranger is what we do to him. Evangelical America is murdering Jesus every day at an increasingly alarming rate. None of this is a surprise to anyone who actually had eyes and ears during Trump's early campaigns.
