The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Also, I feel like more reports need to mention that it was the same plan Trump asked Netanyahu to scuttle before the election so Biden wouldn’t get credit. You know, like Reagan and Nixon also did to win elections, for which they were never properly held accountable.

Because they’re basically stenographers at this point.

Holy shit. It’s like a white fraternity in the 1950s.

Here’s the story from the NYT, but it doesn’t really give a picture of the disaster that took place.

John Oliver's segment on Bari Weiss, the Free Press and CBS News was brilliant, thorough, fair - and SHOULD have been devastating to the aforementioned. Bottom line: CBS "News" now goes in air quotes, like Fox "News"... bluevirginia.us/2025/10/mond...

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

Hope you’re planning to attend an “I’m a Patriot: No Kings Day” event on Oct. 18!

This past weekend, because the weather forced us to cancel our Bridge Brigade, we spent an afternoon writing postcards to voters urging them to vote for Democratic candidates on Nov. 4.

Please! A lifetime of being an asshole cannot be turned over in a few weeks.

Please be more circumspect than this.
