Trump sent the National Guard to fight what he called "violent radical left terrorism" in Portland.

At the same time, he's been withholding millions to prepare for what emergency managers say are actual terror threats.

Trump's FEMA says its spending became "a slush fund for woke projects."

Kamlager-Dove: We also know that DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located. This prevents their family members and lawyers from getting to them. And so we want to know: is this what also happened to Vicente?

Gupta: Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment with this type of frequency. Doing it as frequently as he’s doing makes no sense. I don’t know any neurologist who would recommend doing a MoCA with that type of frequency. It’s not the flex that I think he believes it is.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

Please take note that so long as men define their masculinity relative to other men,they will fail at attracting women.

“Alpha” men are the head of a pack of MEN. That obsession with the male gaze does not appeal to many (if not most) women.
