He wants to create “a muscular Christianity…separate from the Church.”
Meanwhile the Far Right’s next target is to infiltrate the Anglican Church.

This is worth a read. As noted, the large rises in people being diagnosed with ADHD, Autism etc are fuelling conspiracists: 'something must be "damaging" our kids'...
No, the prevalence of symptoms in populations is stable over time. It's just being recognised now.

I've long suspected that a day will come when all of Trump’s most high-profile supporters desert him like rats off a sinking yacht.
Today, I sense we've edged a little closer to that "abandon ship" moment.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.
Remember this.

Actual reporters booted from Pentagon - easier to hide crimes
