Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

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.

Amen.
Sweet potatoes are terrible, a side dish that should be savoury and unctuous somehow rendered cloying and orange, and the last thing your palate wants is for them to be made even sweeter. Especially with, are you kidding me, marshmallows.
That is my last word on what you people are about to do.

The backlash to the end of the two child benefit limit is racist because the two child benefit limit had a racist subtext to begin with.
“No one can pretend they didn’t know the harm it was causing.
Politicians – both those with a blue or a red rosette – let it continue anyway.”

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.
