President Trump received his flu shot and a COVID vaccine booster today, per the White House.

For some of his supporters, COVID boosters are used as a perjorative when attempting to insult someone.

Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms

The chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize confirms that Donald Trump does not meet the moral and ethical standards associated with the award, citing a lack of courage and integrity a trait that defines MAGA.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
