I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look — he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Spain rejects Rutte’s claim of ‘widespread’ backing for Iran war by NATO allies Madrid has been one of the fiercest critics of the escalating conflict and has refused to let the U.S. use jointly operated military bases to conduct its strikes.

Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles has pushed back strongly against NATO chief Mark Rutte's claim that there is “widespread support” for Donald Trump's war on Iran.

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

He originally said was going to cost $200 million. Then he said $250 million. Then $300 million. But now it's going to come in under budget at $400 million.

If Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were NOT mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files, can testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein, then so can Donald J. Trump, who was.

Tweet from the U.S. embassy in occupied Jerusalem:
On February 27, 2026, the Department of State authorized the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and family members of
U.S. government personnel from Mission Israel due to safety risks.
In response to security incidents and without advance notice, the U.S. Embassy may further restrict or prohibit U.S. government employees and their family members from traveling to certain areas of Israel, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the West Bank. Persons may wish to consider leaving Israel while commercial flights are available.

The U.S. embassy in occupied Jerusalem just authorized its “non-emergency” staff to evacuate Israel.

The fantasy of “greater Israel” appears to be on a collision course with the reality of “Israel”.
