Opinion | The 2024 election was always about pardoning Honduran drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández. If Kamala Harris and the Democrats didn't understand that, shame on them.

Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.

"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Hegseth needs to be in jail for the rest of his life, and that’s the moderate option.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Time Magazine apparently thought this SATIRICAL quote from @thebeaverton.com was true.

Hoekstra: "'A Canada that it would be very easy to target with 500% steel tariffs, or one patriot missile aimed at Parliament Hill,’ he added, rather incredulously.'"

Says a lot about media, & the times were in.

It's cute, reading all these anguished cries: "when this is all over, these guys need to go to jail!" I remember saying that during Bush I crimes, and during Bush II crimes, and during Trump I crimes.

Guess how many of those guys went to jail.

He was not hitting on me. His point was that insecure men who hate women often go harder on unmarried women because they’re not afraid their husbands will pull up.
Once I was dealing with harassment from a colleague and a prominent baseball player you all know pulled me aside and said he couldn’t believe it because if someone did that to his wife he’s beat his ass.

I’ve thought about that comment a lot over the years!
I want to ask those men what they would do if someone said those things to their wives, but I have a feeling we’ve already seen how they’d react.
