Is Trump’s Strait of Hormuz disaster Biden’s Katrina?
Liberals are always railing against war. So why aren't they celebrating Pete Hegseth's destruction of the U.S. Army from within?
Trump Administration sources say that the president gave Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer 30 days to either stop abusing her office or become a man like Pete Hegseth and RFK, Jr. She did neither and was summarily fired.
I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I learned that Alan Dershowitz was leaving the party to become a Republican.
Doctors say that measles is one of the deadliest and most contagious infectious diseases in the world. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and cuts penises off raccons says you'll be fine if you drink raw milk and bathe in raw sewage. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
