I asked this yesterday and didn't get any takers, so let me try again. Trump obviously can't keep Greenland and Iceland straight. If Trump gives the order to invade Iceland, will Hegseth have the courage to correct him, or will he send the 101st Airborne to Reykjavik?

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Bari Weiss has woven a rich tapestry of mediocrity.
Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

REMINDER TO PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES JOURNALISTS:
The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) was amended by the GOP under Trump 45. Eliminating the individual mandate was like drilling a hole in your car’s gas tank. They own this.
Omitting this fact when reporting/interviewing is malpractice, IMO.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Selective “enforcement” of “law” is simply the absence of law. When only political enemies are coerced by government force, the rule of law has ended.
