The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

The Trump administration, after shutting down a resettlement program for Afghans who aided U.S. forces, is now negotiating to relocate up to 1,100 of those individuals to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Oh for fucks sake...

In 40+ years of reading about the war I don't remember ever reading anything about that. I do know that when the rice crop failed in 1946 the US fed Japan and prevented a famine that would have killed millions.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Cartoon fun fact: ACME stands for American Company that Manufacturers Everything.

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

Thank you. I needed this.

47 years ago was when they kicked out the brutal repressive Shah that the US put in place and took the Embassy employees hostage.

The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been. I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran. We’re in it, and it will be done RIGHT, and we won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, who for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I’m the one doing it, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration. This is being perfectly executed, on the scale of Venezuela, just a bigger, more complex operation. The result will be the same. In my First Term, I built the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen, including adding Space Force. In my Second Term, I am properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump compares his war in Iran to World War 2 and calls Democrats traitors: 'We won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration."

In a nutshell. 😊

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

I bought this one at a yard sale 20+ years ago because it's a twin to the one that got me through Cal and Stanford in the 70's. It's a lovely thing.

This is where right wing extremism always ends up.

Gambling is ruining tennis, particularly women's tennis. There were something like 800,000 documented examples of harassment and threats towards women players last year. It will only get worse.

Not my thing but the engineering and technology in the new ones is astounding. The motor produces 108ft/lbs of torque at 800 rpm. As huge and heavy as it is it will pull away at idle.

The only time I’ve ever seen it referenced was in Hunter Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and I went to Burningman for 18 years.

I guess I am not particularly adventurous when it comes to button up shirts 🙄

Hold up. Whiskey Pete spent today lecturing journalists about war coverage while troops on ships in the Middle East are going hungry? What the actual f*ck?

So, 55% of Catholics who voted in 2024 voted for Trump. Now he is attacking the Pope. The weirdness of religion never ceases to amaze me.

Anybody who doesn't love Elina Svitolina is just wrong.

Here she is with her college buddies Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. She's the best.

I was seriously angry when they gave Danial Day Lewis the Oscar for chewing scenery in that oil and milkshakes movie and ignored the amazing quiet performance Thomas Lee Jones gave in No Country 🤬

Life comes at you fast

The carrier USS Lexington (CV-2) launched in 1925 used a turbo electric hybrid drive where hear steam turbines turned generators. When Tacoma, WA lost electrical power due to a drought in 1929 they sailed her up and plugged her in and and she powered the city. Nothing is new!
