“They were careless people, … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"

Since my Yankees are out of it, is it bad that I’m rooting for the Blue Jays solely because they are from Canada and can shove it in Trumps face? Sorry, no fawning baseball players at what’s left at the White House!

Pete Hegseth responds "Cool story, General" to a man named Ben Hodges who writes: "July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions."

This is real:

Poor baby! Was he singing, “Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I’m going out & eat some worms” like we did when we were 7 or 8?

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. Political violence is unacceptable.

At the same time, dying doesn't give anyone the right to rewrite history. He said what he said. And a lot of it was hate and lies.

So whose death(s) did Charlie Kirk think was “worth the cost” to preserve the 2nd Amendment and his other “god-given rights”?

One of the best signs I've ever seen

Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend

Making Slavery Great Again It's less outlandish than it sounds.

"The American Slavery 2.0 project is a brilliant conceit precisely because it dovetails so many MAGA governing principles into a single, big and beautiful policy." — @schaller67.bsky.social

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.”

The man is both insanely stupid and scary as hell. And people voted for this crap!

The Measles Are Back, and So Is the Stupid America’s once-gold-standard health agency is now an online conspiracy chatroom

The CDC — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — has now been reduced to the CD, because apparently we’ve had to cut the control and prevention parts.

She was 2. She was killed by Russia.

Lining up where? On the golf course?

Rapid unscheduled disassembly… hahahaha. Elon blew up another rocket.

Treasury Secretary Bessent says the American dream is not about 'access to cheap goods' Bessent on Thursday offered a full-throated defense of the White House's position on tariffs.

“…if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from TX for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial & ethnic slur against a sitting US Senator."

Israel’s abrupt halt on food and aid to Gaza uses famine as a weapon.

Kenneth Roth, former Human Rights Watch head, said Israel has an “absolute duty” under the Geneva Conventions to allow aid and called its decision “a resumption of the war-crime starvation strategy."

This is why this corrupt wannabe-dictator wants to privatize our national parks. Disgusting.

The War Trump Chooses That wasn't Trump against Zelens'kyi. It was Americans against reason

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.
