This, folks, is the President of the United States:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military. A special salute to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and Commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Because of them, and all members of the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World, BY FAR, the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran " and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION. We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo. Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone is aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States, of any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that Number even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment pour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create additional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs! America is WINNING again, winning like never before. The days of Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most importantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

There, problem solved.

This should keep the LGBT+ community up at night, certainly its keeping them out of Turkey and Egypt.

It's hard to keep track of the crazy around this... oNe minute I'm told old Muslim dudes use young boys... the next they're throwing them off a roof... which is it?
My lifetime in this country... the USA... where Christian college kids robbed and beat a young gay man up and tied him to a fence to die... Where Christians stand outside Veterans' funerals with signs blaming the gays for the casualties of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan as proof of GAWD's wrath... Where a pack of white supremacists in Los Angeles County... the cult leader/pimp/drug dealer used a combination of LSD and uppers, sex orgies and lengthy lectures inspired by Dyanetic, The White Album, and the Bible killed some rich people hoping to start a race war...Then there was the Veteran who blew up a government building, killing scores of people... The People's Temple... mass suicide...Branch Davidians in Waco... where parents would give their 12-year-old daughters to Koresh to boink... because that is what Jayzys wanted. The KKK is Christian-based... they kill anyone they don't like... Before I was born...Hitler was Catholic... The Mafia is Catholic... Church scandals... Nuns beating kids and killing babies.. Americas were colonized by Christian mercenaries hot to kill anyone... take the gold... and go kill some more!! Let's not forget... witches burnt...hell somewhere in the world right now..a witch is being burnt in the name of Jayzus
I'm typing the truth... and you know Jayzus likes the truth

ergo...GFY

I've met a gay Imam... he leads a congregation in a major city...

Prisons are full of killer Christians...It's all a matter of timing for them... ya know... as long as they ask Jayzus to forgive them before they die... Christian retribution is a lot like rape... most of it goes unreported.

Nobody is safe around religious fanatics.

And you buy that ---- because you have no Imagination or ability to see anything but more Status Quo.

I recognize the reality that you idiots lose EVERY F*&^ING TIME.

The inconsistency between public support for "progressive" ideas and progressive's inability to get elected beyond the coasts has existed as long as I can remember.

What has also existed as long as I can remember is the reliable stupidity of progressives where a single round of wins turns into condescending lectures, moral preaching, budgetary free for all and an assumption that their social issues are as important to the regular voters who voted for them in that round, thus leading to a HUGE swing of the pendulum in the other direction.

This is the reality you idiots refuse to acknoweledge to the detriment of us all.

The Democratic Establishment turns on any Progressive movement.

They would Rather Republicans Win actually.

No, they wouldn't. They would rather you stop being childish morons, drop the self-righteous purity requirements and, oh I don't know, win more than one election before trying to cram your entire agenda through while you can't even agree on they/them vs xi/xe. Oh, and stop calling every slightly Progressive leaning Dem the next FDR with the next Big New Deal blah blah blah.

Y'all have terrible electoral track records and you're falling into the same patterns of failure you always do at a time when accepting a smaller win would have outsized effects on our Republic and would actually endear you to the electorate enough to maybe last longer than a single round of wins.

Anyways, the clouds have cleared here, so I'm going to go sit the dark back deck, drink a beer and marvel at the stars and Milky Way.

Good account from the photographer - see also www.theguardian.com - who's line about being an Army photographer is classic.

As for the bison, really hard to overstate: they are EXTREMELY dangerous, easily riled, fast, and can turn on a dime. The bearded guy seemed to be doing about what he could. The buffalo appeared to have staked out that table, perhaps as a feeding area? Anyway, when in places like Yellowstone it helps for perspective's sake to bear in mind you've crossed over the wall between your world and theirs. Think of it kind of like Jurassic Park. Or Florida.



Israeli Settlers have murdered 1,244 Palestinians in the West Bank over the past three years (2023 - 2025), according to Oxfam's analysis of UN data.

Since 1948 under both Democratic and Republican Party administrations, the peace-loving, hardworking American taxpayer has sent the Labor and Likud governments of Israel, a prosperous and nuclear-armed country with world class universal healthcare for her residents, over $317.9bn, the most US economic aid given to any nation in the world.

In 2025 alone, the US sent Israel $12 billion which could have instead paid for 1,982,488 American families with one year's free groceries. That would have been a pragmatic use of American taxpayer dollars.

Carpetbagging mega-oligarch Michael Bloomberg spent millions of dollars on Michael Bennet, an AIPAC-funded candidate who lost the Democratic Party primary to Phil Weiser and will now face this exorcist on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

There is no evidence that Colorado AG Phil Weiser has accepted blood money from AIPAC, like incumbent Colorado US Senator John Hickenlooper (D) seeking re-election against Mark Baisley (R): Foreign interference continues in US elections There is no evidence so far that Mark Baisley has accepted AIPAC blood money and Richard Marx stated he won't accept their financial support.
In 2025, fabulously wealthy alter cocker Michael Bloomberg also spent millions of dollars trying to defeat NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) -- but failed miserably -- like in Colorado with Michael Bennet. Now two non-AIPAC candidates are running to be Colorado's governor.
