Rational, calm, but frequently very angry about the nonsense that is presented as fact in the world today. Cold fury is the only valid response to those who knowingly spread dangerous lies.

A decision by Donald Trump to flip out on Truth Social and unload on a close associate of multiple Supreme Court justices will likely come back to haunt him.

So hey: The First Amendment does not apply to private companies. Pass it on. Seriously, apparently we need to pass it on. It is not a “free speech violation” for a social media platform like X or a newsletter app like Substack to disallow hate speech. IT SIMPLY ISN’T.

Honestly I'm still not over the Department of Defense removing references to the Enola Gay from their website because it contains the word "Gay." These jabronis have done much more harmful things, but that's the one that's stuck in my craw for being so deeply and profoundly stupid.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Irreversible tipping points in the climate system — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the wide-scale collapse of coral reefs — are closer than scientists previously believed.

Reporter: An investigation found the MAHA commission report cites studies that appear not to exist. Leavitt: I understand there were some formatting issues…It does not negate the substance of the report Reporter: Is AI used to put together these reports? Leavitt: I can’t speak to that

An accidental trip over the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, New York, typically means a toll and a loss of time. But for one man, crossing an international border into Canada carried a higher cost. nyti.ms/3HjToe9

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt. Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.
