I know it’s a conspiracy theory, but did everyone forget about how our Navy mysteriously forgot how to not crash into things the last time the circus administration was in power?
Seems odd that a military chopper drifted into a commercial jet…

If PA voters haven’t already learned, then they deserve the consequences

PA voters will cast their ballots in one of the most consequential elections of the year: the state Supreme Court race. With three Democratic justices up for retention, the outcome of this contest could flip control of a court that decides election laws. https://bit.ly/3JeB3Ax

UNREAL: Trump regime deports people for saying comments about Charlie Kirk they do not approve of. This is yet again Trump and his regime paving way to silence all speech in the US they disagree with. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Elkins, West Virginia — The former pastor of the Summit Church in Elkins is facing a new felony charge after police allegedly found sexually explicit content involving a juvenile on his cellphone, including an AI-generated image of the alleged victim.
Kevin Curtis Jones, 33, has been charged with one count of distribution and exhibiting of material depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit activity, a felony.
Jones was first arrested and charged with one count of soliciting a minor via computer, a felony, on Oct. 1.
Jones is currently being held at the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on two separate $50,000 cash-only bonds set by Randolph County Magistrates Benjamin Shepler and Michael Dyer.
According to the newest criminal complaint, filed by Deputy and Task Force Officer D.A. Cale with the Barbour County Sheriff’s Office and the Mountain Region Drug And Violent Crime Task Force, on Oct. 1, Cale issued a search warrant for digital evidence from Jones’ cellular devices.
Cale allegedly located several images of a juvenile on Jones’ cellphone, the complaint states. The images depicted the alleged victim “in (their) underwear with (their) arms shrugged.” Cale writes that, in each of the known images of the alleged victim, the alleged victim was wearing different color underwear. He writes that one of the photos has a text overlay depicting, “Does this Match?”
Though the alleged victim is no longer a juvenile, the timestamps on the images allegedly found on Jones’ cellphone show that the alleged victim was under 18 years old when the photos were taken, the complaint states.
A separate photo was allegedly located on Jones’ cellphone of the alleged victim in a bathing suit, according to the compliant. The photo was formatted as a JPEG and was timestamped March 3, 2025 at 5:48 p.m.
Cale writes in the complaint that the next image after the swimsuit photo allegedly has the exact same timestamp and is believed to be a “computer-generated AI” image of the alleged victim “expo…

“We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution.”

Trump: I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don't need to purchase it from China.

And until it’s prosecuted, it merely a label. Pointing at the crime and calling it a crime has never done anything.

Unconstitutional, damaging to our democracy and--last time I checked--murder is a crime. Let's not gussy it up and call it acts of war. This is murder.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean.

Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing
