They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

"hey guys thanks for inviting me, the biggest artist on the planet, to your wedding but i have an idea: would you instead like to get married during my super bowl halftime show set" really is one of the coolest things to ever happen

Why the French film composer who created The Olympic Fanfare is buried in North Carolina Leo Arnaud had a long career as a musician in Europe and Hollywood. A blind date led him to a simpler life.

Since you’re gonna hear it over and over on TV during the Olympics: Here’s how the thrice-knighted French film composer who created “Bugler’s Dream” (bum-bum-ba-dum-bum) ended up buried behind a church in rural Yadkin County, North Carolina: www.ncrabbithole.com/p/leo-arnaud...

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.

Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.

I think there’s a level to which I’m very exhausted about everything being a conversation. Someone having a Nazi tattoo is not worthy of conversation. They are disqualified. Not complex. On to the next one.

Kirk Van House showing off his racecar bed: "Actual advice for (US) No Kings: No names, no phones, black clothes you've never worn before, masks, gloves, good shoes, eye protection, water... Utilise the military guys in your ranks. Give them radios that connect with people flying drones above the rally. Co-ordinate movements accordingly."
