He's half right. Social media has helped open the eyes of many who would otherwise never have know how barbaric Israel really is. But it's not some other country making them look bad it's the IDF and the fascists ruling Israel that are.

More: Donald Trump wins, Republicans lose. The Indiana primaries on 5 May, in which five of seven Trump-backed candidates ousted stalwart conservative Republican state legislators who had refused his command to redraw congressional districts, has been the only victory Trump can claim recently. Indiana, happily for him, is not Iran. His appeal still prevails at least over the increasingly narrow band of Maga voters. But the persistence of Trump's domination is a sign of mounting haplessness. His victory is an augury of repudiation. Maga devotion is hardening in response to his dwindling popularity, a telltale reaction of true believers to a failed prophesy. The cult survives, the party withers.

On the same day the Indiana Republicans went down to defeat to sate Trump's vengefulness, a Democrat won a bellwether Michigan state senate seat by 20 points in a district that Kamala Harris carried by less than a point. The bell tolls for thee.

The Republicans have no instinct for separation from Trump, no will to stage an intervention, no ability to muster an ultimatum. They have been complicit in their captivity, co-conspirators in their demise.

Just calling it illegal without holding anyone accountable is meaningless.

How long before Trump claims credit for this?

This is going to sound harsh but these people don't deserve to have children.

No one is quite sure when it started

The Reagan administration. Mystery solved.

#5, Don't get too excited, they didn't keep him in jail.

Hunt will serve 36 months of supervised probation and bear the associated costs. If he remains current on payments by the 24-month mark, the judge said he can request unsupervised probation. He will also be registered as a sex offender for 30 years in accordance with state law, undergo a sex offender evaluation, and participate in a related program. Despite the offense, the judge allowed Hunt to live with his child.

More: The analysis by the U.S. intelligence community, whose secret assessments on Iran have often been more sober than the administration's public statements, also found that Tehran retains significant ballistic missile capabilities despite weeks of intense U.S. and Israeli bombardment, three of the people familiar with it said.

Iran retains about 75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and about 70 percent of its prewar stockpiles of missiles, a U.S. official said. The official said there is evidence that the regime has been able to recover and reopen almost all of its underground storage facilities, repair some damaged missiles and even assemble some new missiles that were nearly complete when the war began.

More: The package, which is included in the state budget deal announced on Thursday, prohibits state and local officials from entering into formal or informal cooperation agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and forbids law enforcement agents from wearing masks.

The rules also prohibit ICE from using local jails to house detainees and from searching New Yorkers' homes, hospitals, churches and schools without a warrant signed by a judge. But they will not affect the ability of law enforcement officials to coordinate with the agency on public safety issues.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Thursday that the changes were necessary given the extent of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

"They didn't just target hardened criminals and gang members, which I would have supported " we did support," Ms. Hochul said. "They also targeted mothers still nursing their infants, separating them, an 85-year-old widow in her nightgown."

She said that ICE had used intimidation tactics to evade responsibility, adding: "New York will no longer stand for it."

#3, You're confusing this hate crime with another. This was an assault on a real woman in Jerusalem not the IDF soldier desecrating a statue of Mary in Lebanon. Zionists commit so many that it's hard to keep them straight.

More: The nun suffered bruises on her face and leg due to the attack, the statement said.

The attorney's office asked the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, where it filed the indictment, to hold the man in detention until the legal proceedings against him conclude.

Jerusalem's Old City in recent years has seen frequent incidents in which religious Jews spit on Christian sites or otherwise try to intimidate Christians and Christian clergy in the city, members of the city's Christian community say.

When he got arrested a while back this made the local news here in Charlotte, I saw lots of signs disappear from yards.

That would require a president that knew WTF he was doing.

More: It's a sharp contrast to the original legal complaint that ultimately reached the Supreme Court. Callais is described there as a "non"African American voter" from Brusly, Louisiana, whose congressional district changed after his state redrew its districts. Callais also said that he was a member of a local board of supervisors in 2024.

In reality, Callais seems to be a partisan activist steeped in the right's conspiracy theories regarding elections. On X, he commented on an Elon Musk post in December 2025, writing, "This is f#king insane, non citizens voting in our country." In February of this year, he expressed doubt in election security, and in January, he called the voting system "manipulated," touting hand-counted paper ballots as a solution.

Callais also dismissed concerns about how eliminating mail-in voting would hurt disabled or elderly voters, posting in February, "Find someone to haul you to the polls. Don't let your disability put the rest of the country at risk."

More from the article: A former classmate, William Kennedy, who went on to become a Brown University official, was quoted in "Citizen Turner" as describing young Ted as "a bigot, as maybe all of us were in a sense at the time."

Mr. Turner, he said, drank excessively, sang Nazi songs outside a Jewish fraternity house and put up Ku Klux Klan signs on the dormitory doors of Black students. He was finally tossed out of Brown after being caught in bed with a woman in his dorm room.

While I don't want to see A.I. content anywhere really, if your podcast is getting beat by A.I. slop then maybe you need to up your game or find something you're better at.

A small city with less than 250,000 population is hardly crowded. Why do you choose to live there if it's such a hellhole?

You periodic reminder that boaz chooses to live in dark blue Forsyth County, NC.

Close your tags FFS.

Ever had to follow someone to a party or something who then sped off though a stale yellow light without a second thought?

Doh, missed the earlier post.

Some rare good news out of the Senate for a change.

#9,

Yep. The first 6 months or so of the 2nd Trump administration was spent literally giving away America's future to China and others. The soft power tools we used for decades to build good will were shut down or crippled. The brain drain that happened after we cut off funding for scientific research at major universities. The damage to our credibility overseas. The economic hit we, especially our farmers, took when trading partners decided it was cheaper to deal with others after the ridiculous tariffs were enacted. China or Russia couldn't have done it better if they had written a script for Trump to follow.
