CBS News next weekend is broadcasting a Bari Weiss-Erika Kirk "town hall." Why not just start simulcasting Hannity?

The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS!

My son is studying The Guilded Age right now and this complaint is not new. Since the very beginning, settled immigrants have been looking down their noses at new immigrants, trying to force assimilation while ignoring that their own immigrant ancestors brought THEIR cultures and wounds with them.
honestly he might have a point: his family escaped pogroms and now he's trying to recreate them here
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Probably to aliens, probably not to everything else. I'm an agnostic only on the technicality that I don't know for sure, so I guess that applies to most everything. But the universe(s) basically go on forever, so there's no damn way we're alone.
I'm a Maybe then all Nos. Also thought Bigfoot and The Yeti were the same Woodsy Hairman, so it's weird to see a gap there and that it's only closed by independents.
New polling on aliens
% of U.S. adult citizens who believe the following definitely or probably exist:
Aliens 56%
Bigfoot 28%
The Yeti 23%
The Loch Ness Monster 22%
Chupacabra 16%

There's some guy outside across the street screaming at someone on his phone, of course, as soon as I opened the door his eyes were on me like he was heat-seeking, so I went back inside. I'm here wondering if I need to sweep my dead roses or dust my trees so I can be snoopy.

pft! um-- okay. who tf would be surprised by ANYONE with money and power being on that list? not me.
I want to lay down a few markers here for folks as the clock starts ticking down to the release of the Epstein Files.
1) You are going to learn about a lot more disgusting and sickening things people said, joked about and maybe even did. You will likely be disappointed in someone you had admired

Women are used to this-- and men should be too. Can any of you come up 10 or even 5 celebs or people in positions of power that you would SERIOUSLY be shocked if they turned out to be horrible people?

they smashed her window in with a LOADED GUN! That's insane!
How would you even talk to a therapist about how our souls are rotting away every day we live like this? What could they even SAY?? I think about people who live in war zones... what it must do to their brains.
When does this end??

I'm not crazy about this Bubba talk with Clinton.
Not because I don't assume he's in there-- but it's a stretch to just assume Bubba is Bill. Also, if it was, Trump and Bill were two consenting adults, so honestly, though it makes me gag, it's not our business, and it's bordering on homophobic.
