King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Today in 1977, a US Army CH-47 helicopter transporting an unspecified type and number of nuclear warheads from an Army depot near Münster, West Germany, dropped rapidly just after takeoff when its No. 1 engine caught fire, hitting a row of trees and landing hard in a farm field 200-300 meters away.

Today, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who perished during the Holodomor — the genocide orchestrated by the USSR in 1932–1933 to crush resistance to the communist regime and to erase Ukrainians as an independent nation.

And such memorial days like today are making me even more depressed than usual. Because russian scum never faced any consequences. Not for Holodomor, not for thousands killed in gulags, not for Circassian genocide. Not a single time they have any consequences.

A real President ……….

Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.

The allegation was "that NVIDIA misled investors by downplaying the sale of its chips for crypto mining rather than gaming."

Misleading revenue sourcing, eh.
