Last night, the president of the MAGA right’s leading think tank welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition.

The Nazi in question here, podcaster Nick Fuentes, has described Hitler as “really fucking cool” and said “perfidious Jews” must “be given the death penalty” after “we take power.”
The GOP’s top think tank just defended an open Nazi
Reasonable people can disagree about whether Hitler was good, says the Heritage Foundation.

If they can't obey Matthew 25:35-40, what makes you imagine that they are going to obey a court order?
I write very quickly just by speaking and using VR. The slow bed, however, is tidying it all up (what did I really mean just now when the VR wrote "bed"? That sort of thing)
An emergency decision by U.S. District Judge John McConnell compels the govt to use contingency funds to keep SNAP operating through November. A major setback for TRump’s efforts to curtail spending amid the shutdown and a critical lifeline for the one in eight Americans who rely on the program.

Stunning rulings from multiple judges this afternoon.

So Congress could pass a law, which would presumably need to have a sufficient majority to override a presidential veto, to empower itself or some other body it may create to invoke the 25th amendment. I stand corrected, but in no way more hopeful
As I understand it, the 25th amendment can only be invoked by the President himself (?) or by the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet, all of whom are his corrupt dependant sycophants. Goedel said the US Constitution contains a deep logical flaw, and as we are now discovering he was right
“Michael Scherer, Missy Ryan, and Ashley Parker of The Atlantic reported today that political appointees Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have moved onto military bases.”
“The establishment of a domestic quick reaction force to quell civil disturbances at a time when there are no civil disturbances that can’t be handled easily by existing law enforcement suggests the administration is expecting those conditions to change…

I spent 18 years in Texas. That's no excuse for them, or for me
FWIW, The refusal doesn't even make sense. Marriage is a civil contract between the two parties, and, also given the legal aspects and tax implications, the government. It is not a sacrament, and the moral views of the judges concerned are completely irrelevant

WHAT THE F*** This is just the prelude for overturning Obergefell v. Hodges. And so our fight continues.

You don't understand! Trump can remember *and* pronounce "Tylenol." Don't confuse the issue; he's confused enough already
With the US gov't going after Tylenol specifically, are all the other brands that contain Acetaminophen being equally targeted?

Or is the stupidity really just this overt?
In direct violation of Deuteronomy 20:19-20. So why aren't the Rabbis complaining?
[O]ur senior commanders are being put in the position of executing orders for criminal strikes, for which they may one day be held to account – Paul Eaton, Major General, U.S. Army, Retired www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
“The carrier strike group adds another roughly 10,000 troops and enormous firepower to a buildup that already includes guided missile destroyers, F-35 fighter jets, a nuclear submarine and around 6,500 troops.”
This in my inbox, part of an endless stream of Trumpist material. It does not mention my name,, addressing me as “Friend,” and I have no intention of following the links, which would presumably ask me for money. How did they get my email address, and should it concern me?
It's even worse than it looks. Another example of the legal system being used to back up Trump
