The logic is pretty obvious here. Presidents can’t declare war so anything the president does without Congress can’t be a war. It’s not an assessment of what’s happening; it’s an excuse.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

TikTok is back up. This is all such performative nonsense by the kleptocrats and hypocrites who run DC. And we look like idiots to the CCP. Bluff called and we are flaccid.

The winter solstice marks a special moment as the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. At precisely 4:21 a.m. EST, the N. Hemisphere reached its maximum tilt away from the sun, positioning the sun directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5° south of the equator

Having nonsense views about the dollar and the trade balance: easy.

Having nonsense views that are mutually contradictory: that takes talent

The rule of law depends on our constant vigilance.
Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

MTG wants to control your access to information. Fight back by being well informed. Develop trusted sources of information. Do not let them keep you in the dark about what they are doing-that is the hope of dictators.
