Crockett: As he stood up today in front of the American people, he sounded like a used car salesman. Like, let me just shout it out. Buy what I'm selling. Yes. This is a lemon. Yes. He is selling nothing but lemons

I woke up with ten pounds of mashed potatoes in my fridge because today is Lefse Day, a yearly labor of love, rolling out potato dough paper thin and cooking on a jumbo round electric grill for my Norwegian-leaning wife. Let the flour storm begin!

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.

The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Why hasn't a journalist asked trump
WHAT DOES PUTIN HAVE ON YOU?
RUSSIA IS OUR ENEMY AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES. WHY ARE YOU ABANDONING A DEMOCRATIC SOVEREIGN NATION LIKE UKRAINE, AND ALLOWING PUTIN TO RAVAGE THEIR COUNTRY?
Why aren't journalists asking him these questions? NATO wants an answer too.

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔

So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them.

A masterclass in hypocrisy!

The day before Trump receives a peace prize, he racially profiles and demeans U.S. citizen Somalians calling them garbage. "No Racism: FIFA Club World Cup 2025" is a promotion that FIFA is promoting now. How unserious can FIFA be?Incongruent. No respect for celebrities at today's draw event.
