So much crap. Just trying to share my personal take. These are my opinions and I would never ask a fellow American to be in lock step with me.
Unfortunately, the host of the SB party I went to refused to have Bad Bunny on the screen. The discussion around the room was that it was only in Spanish and it was going to be highly sexual and vile.
I mean, Turning Point was on the screen, and I could have said the same thing about Kid Rock.

I don’t know about you, but I found our Super Bowl halftime show was so upbeat and filled with love that I really needed to see! I’m still feeling happy about it. Kudos to Bad Bunny and all the work that went into that beautiful event!

AI Is Here to Replace Nuclear Treaties. Scared Yet?
The last major nuclear arms treaty between the US and Russia just expired. Some experts believe a combination of satellite surveillance, AI, and human reviewers can take its place. Others, not so much...

The new drug site has been dubbed with “@rump.RX”. I refuse to click on anything with his name. Why?
My understanding is that the links there are URLs to the various drug manufacturer sites involved in the “deals”.

Did it come from the White House?
Crews worked on Saturday to reroute millions of gallons of untreated sewage from spilling into the Potomac River days after the collapse of a major sewer line and as one of the most severe winter storms to hit the Washington region in years approached.
Millions of Gallons of Raw Sewage Spills Into the Potomac River
About 40 million gallons of untreated sewage a day has spilled into the river since a pipeline ruptured in Montgomery County, Md., on Monday, according to a utility company.

Open Carry law vs ICE agents. Whatever provoked this outcome today, the dead bystander will be blamed, even though he was within the law to have the firearm on him.

Night is falling, and thousands of anti-ICE protesters are marching in solidarity with Minnesota, turning Manhattan into a moving wall of resistance.
6th Avenue was completely filled and SHUT DOWN!

I’ve been debating whether our current leaders are Carpetbaggers or a Robber Barons.
Actually, depending on the day, either moniker fits.
Until campaign finance reform is corrected, it will just go on and on.

If you think that Greenland is over protecting the US, just look at the pivot the US used with Venezuela.
I said when the rhetoric began that it was about the oil. Bingo.
This time, it’s about the rare earth resources in Greenland.

USPS quietly changes how postmarks work — and it could affect mail-in ballots
The U.S. Postal Service made a technical change that could have consequences for anyone who relies on a postmark to prove they met a deadline — including millions of Americans who vote by mail.

Wait, so now we have to send ICE to Venezuela so we can arrest all the foreigners there because it is now part of the US.

Maybe that’s Trump’s retirement plan? Rape the US and then move to Venezuela. Isn’t the climate like Florida, after all?

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

For awhile, I've thought that the Venezuela posturing by the orange administration was about oil, and nothing more. Yesterday, it was pretty much confirmed. I guess we now are into taking over a country for its resources. "Trump Oil"? Follow the money...

The more that Trump pushes to be an isolationist, the more he gets involved in external politics he claims to hate.
Tariff the world…. End up with our economy getting smacked up side the head when his billionaire buddies cry in their soup about how their profits are getting eaten up.
