Stop privatizing space.

We wouldn't have a 250th birthday to celebrate if Gen. Washington hadn't mandated the smallpox vaccine for the Continental Army ("Should the disorder infect the Army...and rage with its usual Virulence, we should have more to dread from it than from the sword of the enemy"), but okay sure

Will Wins Wars. We’re Forgetting That. Power = Will × Resources.

A militarily weaker nation can, under the right conditions, counter and complicate the actions of a far stronger one, not by defeating it outright, but by preventing it from effectively translating its superior resources into decisive power.

um wat

A Christian economy?

Universal healthcare
A livable wage
Debt forgiveness
Care for the orphan widow and stranger

BREAKING: As Virginians head to the polls to vote on Democrats’ redistricting plan, Steve Bannon warned that “demonic” Democrats will impeach Trump and gerrymander congressional districts nationwide if they win today.

If passed, the map would likely give Democrats a 10-1 advantage in the state.

Money for everyone but Americans. Meanwhile you get cuts to programs and higher gas prices.

Iran's leadership survived US-Israeli bombardment. But talks to end the war present a new challenge After U.S.-Israeli bombardment eliminated Iran’s supreme leader and much of its top echelons, the Islamic Republic’s leadership didn’t fall apart.

After U.S.-Israeli bombardment killed Iran’s supreme leader and much of its top echelons, the Islamic Republic’s leadership didn’t fall apart — but negotiations to end the war offer a new test.

New lawsuit aims to block Trump DOJ from building national voter database via state voter roll grab The lawsuit calls the effort “a key component of the Trump Administration’s attempts to take over elections from states and subvert the 2026 midterms.”

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

Just thinking about how *even Viktor Orban* realized that acknowledging election outcomes is a good thing.

Vote Blue No Matter Who: Party Politics As Political Agency Politics is a collective enterprise aimed at controlling the state, and requires working together as co-partisans.

"In America today we have a party of ordinary governance and a personality cult party. Those are the two options we are now offered every general election, and it really is that simple." www.liberalcurrents.com/vote-blue-no...

What is the U-3 unemployment rate?

How is this GDP relative to past years?

What’s the federal funds rate, and how could changing it impact growth and employment?

These are all factual questions too. If a public official chooses to mislead on some facts, how can we be confident he won’t on others?

RFK Jr. is testifying to a House committee.

Dem Rep. Diana DeGette tangling with him over cuts to family planning services.

"The secretary refuses to tell the American women whether he will let poor women used the contraception method of their choice."

"Let the record also reflect: It is 2026."

Trump’s incessant (and false) claims that Iran is making massive concessions in negotiations signal desperation and sabotage the talks. Talking on CNN.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

Here's the ONLY VERIFICATION, ANYWHERE that he was shot.
He was taken to Butler hospital and not a single doctor from there has spoken about the visit and why? Could it be he was never seen? How is ONE DOCTOR who announed the findings on the Benny Johnson show being taken seriously?

WARSH: The broad contours of the economy are improving. The potential of the economy, the real results of the economy are improving.

TINA SMITH: The reality is there was almost 0 job growth in 2025. That looks to me like not a roaring economy, but a weak economy.

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Well, woke up to many, many, many lovely messages thanking me for exposing Pastor Doug Wilson.

Wasn't expecting that and no need to give me flowers but I appreciate it.

We all must do our part to expose these cruel hypocrites and wolves in sheep's clothing.

Don't be afraid. Confront them.

Donald Trump's Fed Chair nominee could not even say Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

He is nothing more than a sock puppet.

Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end Trump's elfish toady is quickly losing control of the House.

"The coming months should be brutal for Johnson — and will, hopefully, end with his majority and speakership destroyed in a humiliating and titanic blue wave."

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.

I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.

That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.

What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.

Trump’s Fed pick gets his hearing, but confirmation is still in limbo Trump’s Fed pick, Kevin Warsh, faces his confirmation hearing Tuesday, but a GOP senator’s hold related to a Justice Department probe clouds his path forward.

Kevin Warsh, President Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve, is appearing before the Senate Banking Committee today, but his path to confirmation remains in limbo.
