I believe in: - The Constitution of the United States of America. - The separation of church & state. A reluctant activist - I'm too old for this shit but here we are. Just wanted to have a peaceful & quiet life. Couldn't stand by the sidelines anymore.

An anonymous trader made a fast $88 million by shorting Bitcoin.

The trader made the bet that Bitcoin would plummet in value on Friday after opening their account “30 minutes before Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China."

Not suspicious at all, right?

Simply & positively outrageous. But you know, everything has a dollar amount attached to it and you probably don’t have to dig too far to figure that out.

Yeah...I'm f*cking pissed. Qatar is building its own facility inside a U.S. Air Force base. What could possibly go wrong? Tonight, give you clear answers to that question. 😡👇

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Why would Qatar like to have an air force base in Idaho?

Nobody could have predicted that a convicted-felon, rapist who's been impeached twice for crimes against his country, while trying to overthrow democracy and is currently waging war against his own people would fail to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Gilded Age may have revealed the excesses of an unchecked oligarchy, but at least it left behind centers of learning, culture, and philanthropy. Today’s roster of plutocrats seems uninterested in that. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-our-te...

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.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”
