Former President Donald Trump called Vice President Kamala Harris "retarded" while attempting to convince top Republican donors to pour more money in his campaign, The New York Times reported Saturday. read more
Republican Bernie Moreno in Ohio's tight Senate race has put abortion at the center of debate. "Sadly, by the way, there's a lot of suburban women, a lot of suburban women that are like, Listen, abortion is it,'" Mr. Moreno said at a town hall at Warren County on September 20. The GOP candidate added: "If I can't have an abortion in this country whenever I want, I will vote for anybody else.' OK. It's a little crazy, by the way, but especially for women who are like past 50, I'm thinking to myself, I don't think that's an issue for you.'" read more

The meeting - which took place three years after Russian forces invaded the Crimean peninsula - was "an opening" for Putin to begin exploiting Trump's "escalating political grudge" against Ukraine in a bid to weaken US support for the country. "Putin was basically telling [Trump] that you can't trust Ukraine, and don't give them anything." read more
In a tweet from 2022 that has since resurfaced, Minnesota GOP Senate candidate Royce White claims that "The bad guys won in WWII." As is known to most, the Allied forces were fighting to defeat the Nazis and eliminate genocidal fascism that had taken hold of much of Europe and Asia. read more
Isis torture,---------- and cannibalism described by Iraqi MPI have to ask, Laura, are you unaware of exactly what kind of people ISIS/Hamas are? Have you not heard of the beheadings, rapes, and murders of women and children? Or do you just not care because they're your favored oppressed murderers of the week?
"One of the women whom we managed to retrieve from Isis said that she was held in a cellar for three days without food or water. "Afterwards, they brought her a plate of rice and meat. She ate the food because she was very hungry. When she was finished they said to her: We cooked your one-year-old son that we took from you, and this is what you just ate'." The remark reduced her interviewer to tears.
Ms Dakhil also told of the fate of another Yazidi woman. She said: "One of the girls said that they took six of her sisters. "Her younger sister, a ten-year-old girl, was raped to death in front of her father and sisters. She was ten-years-old." Nearly 10,000 Yazidis are believed to have been killed or captured by Isis during the extremists' offensive in August 2014 across Iraq.

You should pay them a visit and see how it works out for you.
More garbage pile propaganda from Censored. Why am I not surprised.

Hey, I'm as happy to call the 11 year old rape victim a liar as you are.
"Fighting to free the women and children enslaved by IS
In 2014, thousands of Yazidi women and children were enslaved by the Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq and Syria. Their fellow Yazidis launched a rescue effort almost immediately, but nearly a decade later, their task is still unfinished."

Supplies? But he had those delicious Mentos in his pocket (along with a UNRWA passport, not that UNRWA would ever assist terrorists or anything ...).
Interesting time for Mentos https://t.co/ujVQ2i8kvZ" Bryan Passifiume (@BryanPassifiume) October 18, 2024
Here's my point... the US got both the "number ones" and still lost both wars
Sure we lost those wars. If you define "losing" as not accomplishing the vague goal of nation-building. If the goal was killing Osama and Saddam, we "won."
"as far as the "existential threat"... name one group going on attack who doesn't use some version of that refrain to justify bull $#!t..."
Israel is surrounded on all sides by people who want the Jews dead. If you don't see that already, there's really not much I can say to change your mind.
As people let go of religion they will let go of Israel's self-indulgent entitlement to take whatever it wants because they are Gawd's spoiled brat.

The Jews are spoiled brats? As opposed to the Muslims who have conquered and colonized that area of the world, putting to death non-believers by the tens of millions? ("Muslim conquests" en.wikipedia.org)
Plenty of non-religious have no love for Muslim rule; which you will see if you spend a couple moments looking at nations where Muslims are calling the shots. If you don't believe me, try wearing your "Ask me about atheism" t-shirt in Iran ("Atheists living in 13 countries risk being condemned to death, just for their beliefs (or non-belief) according to a new, comprehensive report from the International Humanist and Ethical Union out on Tuesday. All 13 countries identified by the study are Muslim majority." www.theatlantic.com).
I am a long-time follower of Electoral-Vote.com, a site published by 2 academics [...] I've search through their archives, as it was an article by them that presented that formula. That once a candidate's popular vote margin is 3% or greater, it is mathematically impossible for the loser of the popular vote margin to achieve the necessary 270+ Electoral College votes. If I find that article, I'll post it as a thread here. But I wanted to get back to you on your question.[...]

I'd be curious to see that article as well, since it seems to go against the very purpose of the electoral college, having a president elected by the states not the citizens, which would allow large states to run roughshod over the rights of small states.
