They really are training their young to be racist anti-Semitic SOBs. So much for our future moral leadership standing in the world.

Protesters rallying against the Felon47 administration in Portland put the city’s quirky and irreverent reputation on display Sunday by pedaling through the streets wearing absolutely nothing — or close to it — in an “emergency” edition of the annual World Naked Bike Ride.

The search for Middle East peace remains a long & twisted road, especially with the Israeli war cabinet led by Bibi still in power while internecine killings among various Palestinian factions continue as Hamas tries to re-assert their control.

Release the Epstein files!

May I pose that Felon47 & Israeli PM Netanyahu are jail birds of a feather? While I’m thankful that hostages & prisoners have been released, Bibi already this morning snubbed his good friend’s invitation to join him later today at the Palestinian peace conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

In an incredible bit of timing, Boots is also set in 1990—the year to which Hegseth said he wants to wind back military training and standards, declaring current guidelines “woke garbage.”

so-called Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just last week. Yet while Hegseth, onstage before the nation’s top military brass, tried to answer the question with chest-beating machismo, insisting on “the highest male standard” and decrying “beardos” and “males who think they’re females,” only Boots

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIEWING: Based on a novel which is based on a true story.

“Becoming a man? What does that actually mean?” That’s the question posed at the start of Boots, Netflix’s new queer coming-of-age series set in a Marine Corps training program, but also one essentially posed by our new

Another one of Felon47’s fevered dreams: placing thislppp Albert Speer-inspired arch on the DC mall. Where is he getting the funds for all of these capital improvements? Oh, wait…..!

This move by Felon47’s unbelievable. Why is this necessary? It’s ridiculous.

Isn’t it about time that Putin ass-kisser & fascist stooge, Hungary’s Orban, leaker of European secret information to Russia, be taken to the woodshed & severely punished? He’s a deadly threat to European security, especially Ukraine. Traitor Orban needs to go. Then Felon47!!! 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸

Ms. Machado doesn’t truly understand the depth of the human debacle that is our President.

Wow…just wow!

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner dedicated her award to Felon47 by hailing his “decisive support”.

“We Venezuelans recognize that just as we have given everything in our citizen struggle, the support of our genuine allies has been decisive,” said María Corina Machado.

Ms. Machado was named today in Oslo, Norway.

Thanks to the selection committee for not naming you-know-who as their winner!

And the Noble Peace Prize…..doesn’t go to Felon47!

Instead Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize.

The former opposition presidential candidate was lauded for being a “key, unifying figure in a political opposition that was once deeply divided — an

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) - the backbone of PBS and NPR's funding - is shutting down operations due to Felon47’s cuts.

This is the first time in nearly 60 years Congress - majority-controlled by MAGAts - has denied the CPB funding.

Tell Congress: Restore PBS and NPR Funding

Trump’s $1.1 billion cuts to PBS and NPR are already gutting access to independent, free media across the country. He is gutting public media and forcing his own narrative. I just signed a Common C...
