Herne Bay must have 1000 flags, every street. It's pathetic.

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.

It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.

Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Prior White House renovations were done by practical people with good taste. They made the building more functional without sacrificing its architectural and decorative refinements.

The current renovations are being done by a shockingly vulgar man and will tackily undermine the building's beauty.

They’re distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of America’s worries.

Mike Graham tried to troll me once by pointing out to his numbskull acolytes that I use a pen name.

It was all going so well... until I pointed out that his real name is Archibald.

Hilarity ensued.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"?

Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

Kamala Harris tried to warn us. Donald Trump is an unserious person who’s a serious threat to us all.

A screenshot of an X post by Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin
) on x.com. The post highlights a video posted by the President of the United States, a role once held by Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR, and questions whether the price of groceries or housing has gone down for families or how a child's job search is going in the Trump economy. The embedded video, credited to Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump
), shows a dark, dramatic scene with hooded figures, one resembling the President holding drumsticks, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background, and a timestamp of 00:09/01:07.

Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto.

It's Brexit 2.

And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they
are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.
