It’s all just right out in the open and anyone who isn’t disgusted just thinks they too have dirty free money coming their way

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

This is a great point - its a very specific version of "the west" while excluding a lot of other values. And the abandonment of soft power seems bizarre if you genuinely believe western values are superior.

Sick and evil

Everytime there is a mass shooting, this image comes to mind. People in some of the highest positions of power in our country wearing gun pins. People who claim to be “pro life” and want to “protect the children.” People who claim to follow Jesus. This is idolatry of guns.

U.S. Installs a Trump Loyalist to Lead ‘Grand Conspiracy’ Case Into Trump Foes

I have frequently said that it is hard for me to imagine how Trump could further damage the institution of the DOJ, but that only demonstrates the limits of my imagination.

I did not imagine Trump putting Joe diGenova in charge of investigating his political enemies. It just got worse.

He came home.
A cuck for Trump.

As if he's ever communicated as a "nice guy."

What do you say about a guy who isn't concerned about his country committing war crimes?

Nothing good, I assure you.

A deadly pandemic can be blamed for a disruption in the supply chain and oil prices in the early 20s.

The lone actions of an authoritarian idiot can be blamed for what's happening with gas prices now.
