The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

In recent years, Facebook has been flooded with AI-generated images of houses posted by spammy content farm pages. Many of these pages are run by Vacarino LLC, allegedly based in Oklahoma City. Further digging, however, indicates the LLC owner is based in Kosovo. www.conspirator0.com/p/this-barnd...

Right wing Catholic networks aren't just whispering in US politics

They're shaping the whole game

Leonard Leo strategizes

JD Vance emerges as their champion

This isn't coincidence

It's a years long playbook

And 2028 is their target year

I briefly reactivated my account to say this. The Internet is a dumpster fire and makes society worse off in every possible way. There is no redeeming it, and there is no redeeming the people who made it thus.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.
