"The gates of hell are open night and day; Smooth the descent, and easy is the way: But to return, and view the cheerful skies, In this the task and mighty labor lies." -- Virgil, The Aeneid, Book 6, lines 126f (tr. Dryden)

Walz: Donald Trump doesn't know how anything works. Donald Trump is this caricature that had a reality TV show that pretended like he knew how to run businesses. The reality is, he doesn't

Walz: If trade is so bad with Canada. He was the guy who signed the deal. I think this is how he ran business.The one thing is his claim that he's the business president. He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Lemme get this straight… Donald Trump didn’t get a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia. He clearly didn’t end the war. He didn’t get Zelenskyy to sign a minerals deal. He ended the peace talks and canceled a press conference. And MAGA thinks he’s a brilliant negotiator? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? It is because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," - Kaja Kallas

A US effort to sink a draft UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine failed today after European countries and Kyiv marshaled support for strong language against Moscow. The General Assembly passed the resolution with 93 countries voting in favor. The US & Russia both voted against it.

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.
