Earlier today I saw how Trump is ordering a No-Fly zone over Venuzeula. And just a few minutes ago, I saw an announcement that Trump is ordering a blockade of all oil tanker traffic to and from.
The law says the Epstein files must drop midnight Friday.
Nothing to see here. This isn't hinky at all.

The only images Heritage will be good with is missionary position in the dark.
Heritage Foundation, backers of Project 2025, have issued a call to criminalize porn by detailing specific types of imagery that should be illegal, including "deviate sexual intercourse," "female genitals," and "nudity."
Only "civilizing" images that point to "marital sex" should be allowed.

The Problem of Online Porn: It's Already Illegal
United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously said in a 1964 opinion that he could not define pornography but “I know it when I see it.” Perhaps such a sentiment was permissible then, wh...

It's so funny when people idolize Roman aristocrats like Cicero, Caesar, and Sulla, because reading the primary sources about them makes it clear they were catty bitches who insulted each other by gossiping about the shame of a rival's grandpa owning a rope-making business and a bakery

Just to be perfectly clear, nearly twice as many people would have watched Erika Kirk speak had they had her on a guest on THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT (2.7M viewers), a show CBS cancelled, than watched the embarrassing PRIME TIME town hall (1.5M). YouTube numbers are EVEN WORSE. Embarrassing.

Among the many things one could say about this:
Journalists will not—and steadfastly refuse to—write similar stories about queer kids who were rejected by their families and forced into poverty and homelessness. The children who were harmed never get sympathy in these stories.
It’s telling.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.
this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

I extend my full sympathy to the Brown shooting victims. I also hope they're grateful they were shot in America, where our gunshot trauma surgeons are seasoned experts, and not socialist Europe, where they'd barely know what to do.
