You can’t make this up:

A 155mm artillery shell prematurely detonated during a Marine Corps demo — raining shrapnel onto cops guarding VP JD Vance.

Trump’s team mocked Newsom for closing I-5 “for no reason.”

Turns out Newsom’s safety call may have just saved lives.

Competence vs chaos.

Can we please stop calling them conservatives?

What are they trying to conserve?
The environment?
No.

The American way of life?
Nope.

Let's call them what they actually are:
Regressives.

They're trying to roll back 100 years of progress.
That's their horrendous agenda.

What exactly was the reason we needed to fire artillery shells over I-5?

So JD Vance can feel like a real boy?

Couldn’t he and Hegseth have just done some pushups together?
