I’m sure Soros has better things to do with his time than hand out funds in the way described. The same nonsense in Hungary for years.

No journalist is ever going to ask for any evidence that Soros has backed every protest going back several decades now? Just let them constantly repeat the lie completely unchecked.

Trying to scare people. But it won't work. No one looks scared to me anymore. And it's power in numbers. All the TV hits in the world won't change the fact that when Americans see the sheer number of people out there, absolutely no one will believe anything these guys say.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Nice shot! It’s a part of London I’m fond of. I lived in Plumstead for a while. :-)

Another picture that I took last night.
The old and the new….the Cutty Sark, with the domed entrance to the Greenwich foot tunnel under the Thames just beyond, and Canary Wharf in the distance.

A picture of the Cutty Sark, lit up at night, with the lit up Canard Wharf buildings in the distance.

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

Nothing could possibly go wrong with this. Creating a lifelike digital avatar on a third party platform will definitely not open teaching staff up to career destroying issues in the event of that platform being hacked.

Second US appeals court rejects Trump's order curtailing birthright citizenship

President Donald Trump's effort to curtail birthright citizenship was declared unconstitutional by a second U.S. appeals court on Friday, handing him another defeat on a core piece of his hardline immigration agenda whose ultimate fate may lay with the U.S. Supreme Court.

I'm challenging the federal administration’s unlawful deployment of the National Guard in Portland with a coalition of states.

Sending the National Guard to peaceful protests is unconstitutional and only serves to stoke fear and escalate violence in our cities.
