This is the most vile and toxic brand of Christian nationalism, and I examine it in depth in the pages of IN GUNS WE TRUST.

Hegseth needs to take it down a couple hundred notches.

Raging at Media, Pete Hegseth Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud He wants “patriotic” coverage of the Iran War. He doesn’t understand: in a democracy, coverage that asks difficult questions of the government is itself “patriotic.”

Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

Shootings at school and home in northeastern British Columbia leave 10 dead including shooter Canadian police say eight people including a suspect are dead after a shooting at a small school in British Columbia, with two more found dead at a home believed to be connected to the incident.

A rare school shooting in Canada, and even rarer, one where a woman is the suspected shooter.
