The contradictory messages are happening because we have a senile old fool who is mentally unstable who bases his foreign policy off things he sees or Fox and clips from social media that his hacks show him. The entire world is less safe as a result.

YouTube video by Democracy Docket 8 Alarming Ways Trump and Republicans Plan to Undermine 2026 Elections

NEW EPISODE: Despite major pro-democracy wins on Tuesday, the fight is far from over. In this video I expose the next phase of Trump and the Republicans' playbook — and what voters, lawyers, and journalists must do now to defend democracy before it’s too late.

Nick Fuentes, Trump’s Failures, and the Moment the GOP Began to Crack This isn’t Reagan vs. Trump anymore—the fight is between authoritarianism and openly embracing extremism.

The GOP isn’t debating Reagan vs. Trump anymore. That battle is over. Now the divide is darker—between controlled authoritarian power and a party willing to welcome open fascists into the room. The GOP is still strong, but cracks are forming.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Tonight, the evil, terrorist nation of Russia is launching ballistic missiles and drones at civilians again, like they do every night.

Putin will rot

I use X-Plane 12 a lot and had to upgrade, not because of performance so much, but because I was running out of VRAM with my older 2070 8GB. I went with the Nvidia 4070 super with 16GB for many of the reasons you mentioned. 5070 was not available at the time.

Long live the sandwich tosser!

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Blowout.

Maybe the GOP should reopen govt now

Who’s Afraid Of Zohran Mamdani? The mayoral candidate defeated the master plan for the first time ever — and that’s prompted an elite panic about who gets to control political outcomes.

The reason oligarchs & the political/media class they own had a months-long elite freakout over @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is not because of any one of his policy proposals - but because his win would mean they no longer get to buy every election and control every political outcome.

Pass it on.

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater.

Mystery US donor gives £1m to Strathspey steam railway Aviemore-based The Strathspey Railway said the donation had secured its future.

I wouldn't tell anyone I'd won the lottery, but there would be signs...

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

The day clownish Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton files a ridiculous, performative lawsuit against Tylenol seems a good day to re-post this:

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Maybe they should watch Russell Crowe’s new Nuremberg movie when it comes out next week. Just some helpful advice.

Honestly, a lot of people are embarrassing themselves with terminology and layout errors over the White House, and it's not new. So, seeing how I worked on the White House complex for years, let me straighten out a bit of it for you all. 🧵

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Amazing things happening on Italian television — Senator Carlo Calenda: "Putin is an aggressive imperial fascist" who blackmailed Europe through energy dependence on Russia by enlisting heads of governments like Merkel and Schröder as Kremlin assets.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

BREAKING: The top federal prosecutor in Maryland has reportedly notified Pam Bondi that she sees no basis for Indicting Adam Schiff on mortgage fraud.

Who wants to bet that the prosecutor will be fired within days, and a new prosecutor will seek to indict Schiff regardless?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

One day the White House “ballroom” will be a museum cataloguing this country’s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.
