i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

They’re the World’s Most Hated Hockey Players—and America’s Greatest Hope
Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are despised across the NHL. They are also the linchpins for a U.S. squad hoping to become Olympic champions for the first time since 1980.

I still think those that casually dismissed the idea that so much of the last ten years can be explained by blackmail, will ultimately be about as wrong as wrong can be.

“DHS traps people with serial killer methods” arrives in the news one (1) day after “DHS taunts jailed children with Nazi methods,” for those keeping track
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Sounds like John Mearsheimer, regurgitating Putin's talking points & pretending that 30 years of 🇪🇺 integration never happened.
in his rendering of the past 30yrs, the worst thing that happened to Europe isn't the resurgence of Ru imperialism but Europe's common market and supranational integration. He may have been a tad softer, but I see no substantive difference from JD Vance's 2025 speech. www.state.gov/releases/off...

tl;dr: CBP fired a new weapon into domestic airspace that the FAA had previously warned posed grave risk to human life. It did so without warning to FAA and without restricting airspace. FAA restricted airspace in response. White House overruled them. The target turned out to be a party balloon.
