It’s gotten difficult to link to sources in 2025 because so many of them are paywalled - and still failing because normies can’t afford subs to every news site.

The free sites are overwhelmingly right wing propaganda sites, funded by billionaires with very deep pockets. Seems like a problem.

Rachel Campos-Duffy misrepresented a video that was made by Democratic lawmakers who reminded active duty service members that they were not obliged to follow ILLEGAL orders. Campos-Duffy dropped the word "illegal" from her description of the video. It's repeated throughout.

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable.

Mounting evidence casts doubt that those killed—who now number over 80—were even trafficking drugs to the United States. And now, Trump is pardoning the Honduran ex-president convicted of crimes relating to flooding the U.S. with cocaine.

Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

Pretty noteworthy.

A Red State education miracle turns mirage.

In short: MS used to pass 3rd graders who couldn't read into the 4th grade. So when all 4th graders took reading tests, as a group, they didn't read good.

When the state stopped promoting poor readers, 4th grade scores soared!

Oops.
it looks like the "mississippi" miracle in reading scores was due to be a pretty basic stats error in the design of the experimental study (selecting on the dependent variable)... a lotta people Got Got on this one! statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/12/01/h...

Jonathan Karl in his book, “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign that Changed America” claims that upon Trump’s arrival at the hospital after his assassination attempt, he didn’t ask about possible casualties. He only wanted to know “how it was playing” and “how it looked on TV.”

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.

Both were later sentenced to life in prison!
Leavitt: "The people of Honduras have highlighted to him how the former President Hernandez was set up. This was a clear Biden over prosecution."

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Trump used his Truth Social account on Friday to announce that he intends to grant a "Full and Complete Pardon" to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez – a convicted drug trafficker sentenced last year to 45 years in U.S. federal prison for helping move massive quantities of cocaine.

Offering the survivors of a missile strike no quarter and then ordering a second strike to finish them off puts Hegseth in deep, deep water. He gave an illegal order. This is either murder or a war crime. It doesn't matter what your title is, Secretary of Defense, or Fox Talk Show Host. It's murder.
