RFK Jr. should remember what America’s ruling elite said about the Irish. Also, he should take an algebra class.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Make Lisa Murkowski Independent Again.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Murkowski is a DISGRACE to Alaska & our Country. You just don’t get any worse! I hope the Great People of Alaska understand what's happening. The Democrats are trying to steal this important Republican Seat &, if that happens, everything we’ve done for Alaska will come to an immediate hault"

Americans have now spent $142 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1, enough to buy 361,000 homes at the September median price, enough to house over 900,000 people, due to the US war on Iran and other factors like limited output from Russia

Spain and Portugal once divided up the world. How did that work out?

🇺🇸‼️ Hillary Clinton: Trump is a willing Putin puppet to help Putin. Putin's not going to stop with Ukraine. I guess Trump has this idea that he wants to divide the world. He gets the Western Hemisphere, Putin gets Russia and Europe, and Xi Jinping gets the rest of the world.

“The U.S. sticks out as the only major economy where planet-warming pollution increased dramatically last year, the report notes.” Is this what Trump means when he says “America First?”

Trump’s vision of “normal” relations with Russia is a betrayal of American values, not just Ukrainian freedom. An iron curtain has descended upon Washington. Trump’s Push for Deals With Russia Powers His Frustration With Ukraine www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/u...

nytimes.comTrump’s Push for Deals With Russia Powers His Frustration With UkraineThe series of recent steps by the president that seem to favor Vladimir Putin reflect his intensifying desire to normalize the relationship with Moscow even if it means further undercutting Ukraine.

Tuberville is still grumpy that the Union set the conditions for Alabama's re-entry into the nation after rebelling and losing the Civil War. Unlike Alabama, Ukraine is a sovereign nation that never was legitimately part of Russia, and separated from Russia amicably when the USSR dissolved.

Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com

Tuberville: "Zelensky will play hardball, but you know what? He's not even a player in the game. Putin, President Trump, and the people on our side will make the final decision about Ukraine's future."

All Americans who love our country, and who side with Ukrainian defenders over Russian invaders, are disgusted by Trump’s siding with Putin. Show it November 3rd.

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

News of President Trump’s plan to shut down East Potomac Links for about 15 months and transform all of Hains Point into a championship-level course was about as welcome as triple-bogey on a par-3. “I think it’s a bunch of bulls---,” one D.C. resident said.

So among the many things at a stake in this election is showing that Americans reject Trump’s bromance with Putin and they back Ukraine against the Russian invasion.
