I feel for the Iranian people. They’re caught between a radical domestic regime that isn’t afraid to butcher them to stay in power, and an American president that isn’t afraid to use them as target practice to push that regime out of power.

Brendan Carr says he will enforce the FCC’s equal time rule against a broadcast TV talk show host interviewing a Democratic candidate… while he lets a Republican radio broadcaster interview a Republican candidate in the SAME Texas Senate race.

Jonathan Ross’s video of his shooting of Renee Good also demonstrates that he was too busy filming with his phone to properly assess the situation. If he had been focused on doing his job, instead of circling her car to get some juicy shit-talk video, he wouldn’t have been standing there distracted.

If you’re wondering why FIFA would humiliate itself by giving Trump a clearly made-up award, it’s because political and business leaders realize he’s extremely vindictive when you don’t show him the complete deference he demands.

From the Home Depot website: “Hypothetically, if I spray paint these gold and hang them in my office (that happens to be an oval shape) will a Russian leader finally respect me or take me seriously? - By NotCanklesMcTacoTits”

If the President of the United States has the luxury of telling us for weeks and weeks that he’s thinking of invoking the Insurrection Act, then there’s clearly no need to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Trump: “I believe we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, nobody’s even questioning it.” In other news today, a concerned Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate on worries of a stagnanting American economy.

Since MAGA Republicans need to take full political advantage of this assassination and spin it into a leftist problem, they’re busy sweeping the Hortman assassination and events like J6 under the rug and literally deleting a federal study proving them wrong.

Sooner or later, they’re going to find the Kirk shooter. I’ll say here what I say after EVERY shooting: The motive is irrelevant to anything other than the crime itself. We can’t smear entire social groups because some nutjob that fits their demographic had access to a gun and was willing to use it.

Compare Nancy Pelosi’s respectful statement on the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk with Charlie Kirk’s snarky, disrespectful, innuendo-laden comments on the brutal attempted murder of Paul Pelosi (sound on). I’ll let this contrast speak for itself.

The 2026 federal midterm election is shaping up into a battle between the state legislatures for control of Congress, where the voters themselves become increasingly irrelevant to the outcome.

Trump and Netanyahu are treating Palestinians like illegal immigrants on their own land - encouraging them to self-deport after turning their land into a pile of smoking rubble. Ethnic cleansing with a snappy sales pitch.

Trump and Netanyahu are treating Palestinians like illegal immigrants on their own land - encouraging them to self-deport after turning their land into a pile of smoking rubble. Ethnic cleaning with a happy face!

At a time when Trump’s ICE agents claim the right to go wherever they want without any restriction, I am reminded of the Third Amendment: “No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

To all the MAGA enthusiasts who think ICE agents can go wherever they want without question or resistance, I have a question for you: Do ICE agents have an unlimited right to enter YOUR house and arrest you for resisting them?

Indiana church tells an Indianapolis news station: “[LGBT people] are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.” Gee, thanks for clearing that up.

In response to the California fires in January, Donald Trump relentlessly bashed state and local Democratic politicians. Yet for some reason, Trump isn’t trashing state and local Republican politicians in response to the Texas floods. I wonder why…

“To some extent, Trump’s approach is typical of American leaders, who have routinely underestimated the true complexities of military tasks and assumed that a burst of overwhelming force will secure U.S. objectives and allow Washington to impose its version of peace.”

theatlantic.comWhat Trump—And the U.S.—Can’t Understand About Air StrikesAmerican leaders refuse to learn from allies and overestimate the benefits of showy tactical attacks.

If MAGA Republicans could only show the daughters of millions of hard-working but unauthorized immigrants even a fraction of the compassion they show to a handful of female athletes who finished second to a trans athlete.
