I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the arrest of Robert Hannsen, the FBI agent turned spy for Russia. Despite being one of the most damaging spies in U.S. history, no one in FBI was fired for the systemic security failures that made his espionage possible.

I'm so tired of people acting like $20/hour is a lot of money in 2025. That gives you $1066 for rent each month by the 1/3 rule, which probably isn't even enough when groceries cost so much. Tell me where I can rent an apartment for $1066. I'm guessing I also couldn't make $20 in those few places.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Our criminal president is firing the lawyers who discovered the mountains of damning evidence against him. Our far-right SCOTUS and a judge he nominated made sure the cases were not tried. The right has broken the justice system in a way that may be irretrievable.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

The great irony is that even if Covid was a Chinese bioweapon released deliberately by the CCP, for which there is ZERO evidence, & even the CIA isn’t claiming it was a deliberate leak… why was Trump heaping praise on Xi & China for much of the start of the pandemic? www.politico.com/news/2020/04...

Putin does not want to end the war, inline with our article below: "The Kremlin regime only understands military might, therefore any conclusion to the invasion of Ukraine, the terms of which will be negotiated in the end, will actually have to be brought about militarily, not diplomatically."
