Someone on "The Sopranos" spitting Italian slang for "you fucking idiot" that I had to look up online.

Pete Hegseth famously promised the Senate he would stop drinking if appointed the "Secretary of Defense."

That's why he calls himself the "Secretary of War."

It's all about the technicalities . . .

A thing I just learned: the head of the UK division of Palantir Technologies is the grandson of notorious British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

For my own wellbeing, sometimes it's best to completely ignore harsh reality & focus exclusively on one or all of our 3 pets.

In this case it's our youngest, Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite, a/k/a Spawn of Satan), who I love dearly. ♥️ 🐶

Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages.

Donald is such an uninformed idiot.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison

noticing a theme

After ten years of getting away with basically everything he says and does, Trump met his match this year in two groups: the shia and the catholics

Donald Trump’s Favorite PAC for Legal Bills Is in Debt — And Owes Many Law Firms Money The Save America PAC is nearly $500,000 in the red, according to a new federal disclosure.

“A political committee President Donald Trump uses to pay legal bills is in debt — and owes $1.6 million to a roster of law firms, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. Trump’s Save America PAC is nearly $500,000 in the red, according to FEC data published Wednesday.”

Can't wait for Leo to publicly excommunicate Vance in front of 80,000 people at the Super Bowl halftime show in February 2027

I got this screen as well today. And yesterday the app only showed a blue background for a while. Something’s glitching.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell:

Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad.

The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

One step further: it should be unthinkable that we would register people for the draft without first making sure that they are registered to vote. And indeed: it makes no sense generally to hold elections without making every effort to make it as easy as possible to vote! That’s what democracies do.

NASA was praised by Trump after the wonderful success of the Artemis II moon orbit mission

Yet Trump's proposed 2027 budget cuts NASA's funding -- by 23%

Including cutting 47% of the science budget -- and 50 missions

How is this making America great again?

Trump truth social: know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon - Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes, and they never did! They've all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they're NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some "free" and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some "clicks" because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody's talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn't have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of "TRUMP," not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, "Only Rosie O'Donnell," question, or "Crazy" Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it's not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called "pundits" are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left "News" Organizations, are "hailing" them, and …

“NURSE!”

As aside, this is one speech Melania didn’t plagiarize from Michelle Obama.

Interesting, in all of Melania Trump’s speech strenuously yet unconvincingly exonerating herself, she never once said these five, quick words: “My husband is innocent too.”

Seems a rather deliberate omission. But, clearly, the speech itself was not intended to help Donald.

Trump fucked up his war so bad he’s trying to change the subject back to Epstein.

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

YES breaking out in-game interviews is an unwelcome development.

First time we’ve ever had a president’s former criminal defense lawyer as Attorney General.

Trump finding new ways to make history every day.

NOW: Trump tells reporters in the Oval Office that the U.S. will end operations in Iran in “two weeks, maybe three.”

Everything is always two weeks away…

When Donald Trump ran, his two biggest campaign promises were not to start new wars and to bring down prices.

So what does he do? He starts a new war that drives up prices.

Such breathtaking deceit and incompetence.

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings.

No police beaten with flag poles.
No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans.
No vandalism or theft.
No racist flags.
No zip ties.
No death threats.
No pipe bombs.
No poop smeared on walls.

That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.

NYT ain’t what it used to be.
😞

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.
