Black-and-white full length photo of singer-songwriter Janis Joplin at her San Francisco apartment, 1968 (Photo by Jim Marshall)

Ms. Joplin, leaning casually on a fireplace mantle with her right arm, is dressed in a dark, sleeveless top and matching, thigh-high skirt, lace hosiery and black, strapped, open-toed heels. Her long, dark hair, parted in the center, cascades down over her shoulders, and a she’s wearing an intricately-beaded necklace that hangs down past the front of her waistline. She is looking into the camera with a calm, matter-of-fact expression on her face. 

The apartment around her is cluttered and eclectic, with various embroidered tapestries and posters on the walls, including a large portrait photo of a young Bob Dylan; another featuring a Grateful Dead graphic; and a photo of herself singing into a microphone.

Several of Joplin’s trademark feather boas can be seen hanging on the doorframe behind her, and her calico cat is sitting contentedly on a half-rolled poster lying at the foot of her bed.

We Just Sat Through 30 Minutes Of A Hegseth Wank-A-Thon So You Don't Have To Pete Hegseth’s Greatest Hits: A Breakdown for People Who Still Have Functioning Bullshit Detectors

The Iranians are no fools. You can bet they’re preparing for this. All it’s going to take is a couple of their medium range missiles slipping through our air defenses, and we’re looking at a disaster in that strait.

Anyone think Trump gives a toss about those sailors’ lives?

Marshall is worth more than $10 million (probably closer to $20 million), with a cushy, lifelong pension and top shelf, taxpayer-funded health care. The very idea that he gives a toss about working Americans—or their security—is absurd.

1977 black-and-white photo of singer-songwriters Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, sitting on a boldly striped sofa backstage at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.

Ms. Harris, strumming an acoustic guitar on her lap, is wearing a white, fringed blouse over a black, long-sleeved leotard top; bell-bottomed blue jeans; and black patent leather, open-toed strap heels. Her right leg is crossed behind her left; her long, dark, straight hair, parted in the center, falls over her shoulders, and she is smiling gently as she gazes down at the guitar. 

Ms. Ronstadt, seated on the right and turned to face Ms. Harris, is clad in a Boy Scout uniform top, black shorts, and patent leather, open-toed strap heels. Smiling wistfully, her long, thick black hair, parted in the center, falls over her shoulders. Her right leg is crossed under and behind her left  calf; her right hand is resting on her left knee; and her left hand rests high on her left thigh at the hem of her shorts. Her fingernails are painted, and a thin, gold or silver bracelet and ring are visible on her left hand.  

The floor of the room is covered in light, shag carpeting, and a light, wood-paneled wall provides the backdrop.

If there is one thing Hegseth has done successfully, it’s to help expose the dark underbelly of military culture. A truly “loyal” soldier attacks on command, regardless of international law. Throw ethnic/religious nationalism into the mix, and it’s a perfect breeding ground for war criminals.

Agreed. A war fought purely in self-defense is a just war. Russia is a direct, existential threat to a free Europe, and they’ve made no secret of their long-term goal to reconstruct the Soviet Empire.

The line has (quite literally) been crossed. The invaders must be stopped dead in
their tracks.

After Putin’s butchers and rapists are vanquished, Ukraine will rapidly rebuild and rise to become one of the most prosperous and influential nations in Europe. And the U.S. government—once the leaders of the Free World—will rue the day they allowed Trump to stab our European allies in the back.

“AMERICA IS IN A FULL-SCALE BIRTH RATE COLLAPSE.

“It's a crisis fueled by delayed motherhood, toxic career-first culture, and the lie pushed by Legacy Media and feminists that kids are a burden.

“The fertility rate is down 25% from 2007 levels.

“Teen births have crashed 81% since 1991 — with another 7% drop in 2025. It remains stuck around 1.6 — well below the 2.1 replacement level.

“This collapse is an existential threat to humanity.”
