SOME STORIES ARE JUST TOO PRECIOUS TO PASS UP ...
"The world’s largest condom producer is set to hike up its prices as President Donald Trump’s war in Iran drives up the cost of key materials."
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES?
“This was a big swipe at immigration without regard for particular categories of immigrants, like physicians, who are desperately needed.”
THIS IS OUR ROLE MODEL TO OUR KIDS AND THE WORLD, ON EASTER SUNDAY:
In a post on his Truth Social platform Sunday morning, Trump wrote: “Open the F*****’ Strait you crazy b*******, or you’ll be living in Hell -- JUST WATCH!"
WTF???
Hegseth fired more than a dozen senior military officers: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chief of Naval Operations, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, and head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, after overruling the Army's suspension of the aircrew that flew by Kid Rock's house.
During the deal’s short life, Tehran lived up to its end of the bargain, undertaking technical steps to cap its uranium enrichment and stockpiles, restricting the use of its nuclear facilities to civilian purposes, and allowing inspections and monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Today, 32 countries have unrestricted, automatic birthright citizenship similar to the U.S., according to the Pew Research Center.
DOESN'T THE TRUTH MATTER AT ALL?
Hegseth turning down promotions for Black and Female officers: One Maj. Gen. Antoinette Gant would be leading a command that provides security and performs ceremonial duties in D.C. Buria told Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events.
The brilliant Bette Midler -- "All You Facists 'Bout To Lose!"
"We had a good run — some eight decades or so — but it is clear by now that the US has ceased to be the leader of the free world. ... The job might even be eliminated, one more reduction in force courtesy of President Trump."
The Supreme Court has once before ruled on the unfairness and unconstitutionality of "proof of citizenship" laws. Rather than solving a problem that doesn't really exist (non-citizens voting), it disenfranchised tens of thousands who lost their right to vote.
JUSTICES WHO ARE HONEST, INDEPENDENT, AND LEGITIMATE? EGADS!!!
"Trump also took a dig at Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett ... accusing them of going "out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how 'honest,' 'independent,' and 'legitimate' they are.""
A recent Kansas law instantly invalidated the driver’s licenses of 1,700 trans people. To what end?
One might ask why Kansas’ legislature chose to focus on hurting 1,700 people instead of helping 3 million.
In a 25-country survey, of European, Asian, African and American nations, the US was the only one where a majority said that the morality & ethics of their fellow citizens were bad or somewhat bad. Even those with violence and civil strife — like Nigeria & Mexico — had higher views of each other.
In December, the conservative Manhattan Institute found 31% of Republicans under 50 identify their own views as racist, 25% say their views are antisemitic. The same survey showed a majority of Republican men under 50 think that the Holocaust didn’t happen or was exaggerated. YIKES!
THIS IS JUST SO SAD ...
SERIOUS FOOD FOR THOUGHT ...
"Make people so exhausted, so confused, so beaten down by the constant barrage of contradictions, lies, and naked bulls--- that they give up trying to figure out what’s real. ...
Make “nobody knows anything” feel like a reasonable way to understand what’s happening."
More people left the US than immigrated last year, first time since 1935. There are now approx 9,000,000 expat Americans, and 180,000 emigrated last year alone.
Fueled by billions of dollars in new funding ,,, mass arrests have swelled detention centers and set ICE off on a national chase for space to warehouse those who have been apprehended. Far from the “worst of the worst” the data from ICE show that 80% at the camp had no criminal record ...
FINALLY!
A plaque honoring the heroism of police officers during the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol has quietly been installed at the US Capitol after years of delay.
The plaque has been placed at the end of a hallway, just inside an entrance which is not open to the public.
Is this true?
Trump lowered the flag for Charlie Kirk but not for the 6 service members killed or for Jesse Jackson?
What a putz!
I WISH I HADN'T LEARNED THIS:
Binance fired or suspended 4 internal investigators who found that $1.7B had been sent on the cryptocurrency exchange to Iranian terrorist groups. TRUMP PARDONED THE COMPANY'S FOUNDER AFTEER 4 MONTHS IN PRISON, AFTER HE FORGED CLOSE TIES WITH TRUMP'S CRYPTO STARTUP.
SOMETHING ELSE I WISH I HADN'T LEARNED ...
Trump’s claim that Iran will soon have a missile that can hit the United States is not backed by U.S. intelligence reports, and appears to be exaggerated, according to three sources familiar with the reports.
Per Reuters.
