I have always thought Trump would make it a priority to have his own militia 'in case', but I was wrong about how he would get it. Is anyone else worried about ICE gaining collective consciousness and identity in the near future? God knows how they pick them too... www.cnn.com/2025/07/09/p...

It is apparently not sufficient to attack 'wokeness' and 'DEI'. No, 'woman in power' is also a threat to them. Even their own. These bozos won't stop until we've reached pre-suffrage.

Some brief thoughts on how Trump and his happy warriors of aggrievement have attempted to force themselves inside Harvard, imposing their very own DEI bureaucracy.

Come on NPR. What is 'historic' about a bunch of rich women spending millions. This is supposed to be female empowerment or something? Did we run out of role models, gold diggers and pop stars are the thing now? Bleh.

Bessent is the worst liar that ever existed. Conservatives who should know better and whose lives have benefitted from progressive thinking are more despicable than Trump himself. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/p...

The right was correct about one thing. Universities don't give a damn about the values they espouse. Behind the virtue signaling and nice words of higher admins, they are all about appeasing their BOVs, keeping money pouring in and ultimately self interest and self promotion. Cntd in comment below.
