The trojan horse ploy never gets old. It just gets dressed up as something else.

Trump's Qatari airbase will be the new home of world terrorism. If our military and law enforcement continue to sit on their hands while the Trump regime sells America to the highest bidder, there won't be a USA in 2026.

So fatso got his flu and covid shots like every other normal human being in his age group.

Whatever happened to the inhaling bleach mantra. Today’s Friday so lets see what tomorrow brings.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

Look to the ICE abused children in your own country first.

Best to leave Putin’s horrendous abuses to others.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Here are the British bookies’ odds for tomorrow’s Peace Prize.

So many better choices than Trump (although I’m not positive he would be technically eligible).

My heart is with Zelenskyy although Yulia Navalnaya, Greta Thunberg and David
Attenborough would be worthy recipients.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol
