The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign. Here's my latest >>> www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/m...

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Also, ceasefires have happened under prior Presidents! The day he gets Palestine their own country he can be told he's the most special boy deserving of a shiny prize.

I have an irrational hatred of QR codes. I’ve never used one, but every commercial has one and it pisses me off.

Three conversations I’ve had with people much smarter than me that let me know that I’ve made the right decision:

My former professor and his wife.
My doctor.
My friend who is a lawyer.
