It’s called the Macbeth Syndrome. You can’t peacefully enjoy the privilege of your own position because you consciously and unconsciously know the violence it took to exact it.

You are always haunted by the possibility that what you’ve done to others will be done to you.

Donald Trump: “I ended seven wars.”
Sure, Grandpa.
Pseudologia fantastica: when the story feels so good, you forget it’s fiction.

Cathy Engelbert getting booed while dressed like Grinch. Fitting, since she’s been robbing the WNBA players of joy all season.

Bad Bunny’s got them hopping mad!

The image shows two X posts. The first, by Alex Cole (@acnewstics
) from 1 day ago, states: "This country eats tacos, drinks tequila, and dances to reggaeton, but god forbid we hear Spanish for 15 minutes at halftime?" The second, by Pop Crave (@PopCrave
) from 1 day ago, states: "Former racecar driver Danica Patrick slams Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl 2026 halftime headliner: 'No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America's highest rated television events of the year... not just for sports.'" The post includes photos of Danica Patrick and Bad Bunny.

The country is going through all of this because Stephen Miller couldn’t get a date to prom.

The $200-300M ask for the Joe Biden library is political malpractice. Donors are furious, feeling misled about his fitness & the lack of a real primary. Why fund a vanity project when the party needs rebuilding? The era of giant, privately-funded legacy monuments must end.

The irony of #Project2025? Its extreme policies will speed its own collapse. Mass deportations & visa cuts will devastate the economy, forcing the next administration into swift, expansive #ImmigrationReform. The backlash will only accelerate it.

Shocking update: Mark Sanchez arrested in Indy after stabbing incident. Facing misdemeanor battery, unlawful vehicle entry, & public intoxication charges. He’s stable in hospital. Thoughts with all involved. 🙏 #MarkSanchez #NFL

We know there are likely other victims. Pedophiles rarely stop at one. It is a compulsion that drives them to offend again and again.

Israel-Hamas ceasefire: Fragile hope or doomed repeat? No statehood path, shaky disarmament, & past deal collapses raise doubts. Will @netanyahu or Hamas hardliners sabotage? Gaza needs aid, but trust is thin. @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @cnn.com @nytimes.com @msnbc.com

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage.

It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

CTA Red Line Extension funding frozen as Trump administration withholds $2.1 billion from Chicago

Two major Chicago transit projects are in jeopardy after the White House froze $2.1 billion in federal funding over an investigation into racial preferences in contracting.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

🚨 US jobs report for Sept 2025 delayed due to gov shutdown. Economists expected ~50K jobs added, unemployment at 4.3-4.4%. ADP data hints at weaker numbers. Stay tuned for BLS updates post-shutdown! 📊 #JobsReport #Economy

‪I think Gavin Newsom needs to investigate this. Could there be some chicanery going on with Donald Trump? He opposes the special election and mail in ballots. ‬

Birds of a feather…

Every federal government shutdown puts the President in the hot seat. Bill Clinton faced blame in ’95-’96, Barack Obama in 2013, and Donald Trump in 2018-2019. The Oval Office always takes the hit, like it or not.

‪Donald Trump might try to give Stephen Miller a preemptive pardon when he leaves office. That cannot protect him from state charges like human trafficking, fraud, or conspiracy tied to his immigration schemes. Federal pardons do not erase state accountability.‬

Skyrocketing grocery prices are hitting hard: eggs up 27%, beef 10%, coffee stung by tariffs. Families spending $1000/mo. Blame inflation, trade wars, supply shocks. Time for relief! #GroceryPrices #Economy

‪Elon Musk’s #CancelNetflix push over Hamish Steele’s comments & trans content flopped. @netflix.com shrugs it off. A few thousand canceled, but with 282M subs & 1-2M normal monthly churn, it’s nothing. Stock dipped 2%, already recovering. Boycott failed, Elon! Back to streaming.‬

Elon Musk lives with chronic pain. Maybe that’s why he lashes out, doubles down, and spins conspiracies. Unhealed pain can run empires into the ground.
