The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

In this Ohio town , it was a tradition: early morning mass, softball game on the village green, then everyone logs onto Silk Road to buy some smack. But then the woke mob took all of that away.

Many liberals are comparing Trump to the fascist leaders of the 1930s. But a better comparison would be Roman emperors like Nero and Caligula.

Theodore John Kaczynski wants to reduce society’s reliance on technology. Despite controversial views on the acceptability of blowing people up, his manifesto’s focus on individuals going off the grid may find broad support — and face political headwinds.

I've had a couple ppl ask me lately what's my go to for news and current events. I like the ground news app. Whatever story is going on, it collects all the sources covering the story and shows their political leaning. It allows you to compare and see what's consistent.

The United States has oligarchs now. Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.
