Wow, why aren’t voters thrilled with tariffs, the Iran war, pardons for sale, hostility to Canada, sucking up to Putin, bailouts for coal plants, and clowns like Hegseth and Kennedy running important government agencies?

State Attorney Generals need to make it clear that these people are going to be prosecuted and a Trump pardon is not going to protect them.

Objectively, he is the most insane, delusional malignant narcissist alive. Its just absolutely bizarre.
Trump: "There's never been anybody in the history of the Nobel Prize that deserves it more. I settled eight wars. I stopped the total obliteration of the world."

I don't understand why the Cornell rapist would flee to Dubai when he could've stayed in the US and become a Republican politican, pastor, SCOTUS justice or maybe even president.

Trump’s stupid tariffs made our prices go up. And they didn’t even shrink the trade deficit.

Just a reminder that multiple members of Donald Trump's family and administration helped bring the Tate brothers back to the United States after it was already clear they were human traffickers and sexual abusers. They should all be investigated by Congress immediately, including Barron Trump.

Only two states went completely blue or completely red in 2024: Massachusetts and Oklahoma. This says a lot of about the voters in these two states.

Gaza is the most lied about war in history. There was no genocide, no famine, no intentional targeting of children. These are modern-day blood libels. We need to expose all the Islamo-left lowlifes who spread these lethal falsehoods, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/v0hJX0j

A Statement of Conscience on October 7 I will not start by saying ‘as a Muslim’ or ‘as an imam’, but as a human being. On October 7, over 1,200 innocent people were killed in a single day. Families were shot in their homes. Young people out dancing were hunted across open fields. Over 250 people, including children and the elderly, were dragged into Gaza as hostages. I think of a mother hiding in a safe room with her baby’s mouth covered. I think of a father listening as the line went quiet. I think of families who waited month after month for someone to come home, only to receive a coffin. I didn’t need my faith to recognize the evil of what happened. My heart told me first. But I’m a Muslim and an imam, and I owe the world one honest sentence: what was done that day was a crime against God. God teaches that whoever kills one innocent soul, it is as if he had killed all humanity. This day has an author: Yahya Sinwar. He planned it, ordered it, and knew what would follow. Every death of that day and war he started rests on him and Hamas leaders who sat in tunnels and foreign hotels and called slaughter a victory. It rests on every Palestinian leader who cheered, excused, handed out sweets, or said nothing. They chose this. They own it. But Sinwar did not invent himself. He was the fruit of a tree planted almost a century ago by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas named itself in its founding charter as the Brotherhood’s branch in Palestine. The Brotherhood’s poison is slow. It arrives through study circles, youth camps, charity boxes, and kind words to lonely young men. Drop by drop, it teaches him that his religion is a political party, his neighbour is his enemy, the Jew is the cause of his sorrow, and God is pleased by rage. By the time the gun arrives, the soul is already taken. I have seen this poison in mosques where sermons became rallies and young men could recite slogans but not sit still for a verse on mercy. Every people that let the Brotherhood in has paid in blood and ruined generations. It has never built anything it did not first set on fire. Behind Hamas stands another hand: the IRGC. It was the IRGC’s money, weapons, and training that turned a hateful idea into an army. One calls itself Sunni and the other Shia, and they may curse each other’s creeds, but they are united in what they worship. It is not God. It is power. The same IRGC that armed the killers of October 7 shoots Iranian girls for showing their hair, hangs young men for asking to be free, and has left graves from Tehran to Damascus to Beirut. They speak in God’s name. So did Pharaoh speak in the name of heaven. So let me say this clearly. Hamas and the IRGC are not merely enemies of Islam. That would be too small a charge, as if their crime were only against us. They are enemies of God. God is the Giver of life, yet they deal in death. God calls Himself the Most Merciful, yet they have made cruelty a sacrament. God honoured the children of Adam, yet they look at a child and see a target or a shield. To murder what God created and sign His name to it is the oldest blasphemy. And we Muslims have been too quiet. Some of us were afraid. Some told ourselves it was not our business. Some, God forgive them, felt something other than horror that morning and never confessed it. Silence was the soil this poison grew in. I will not add to it. So on this anniversary, let us say plainly what our scripture already says. The Jews are not our enemies. They are our cousins in Abraham, and their dead were created by the same God who created us. Today belongs to them: the murdered, the hostages, and families who still set a place at the table. To them I say: I am sorry for what was done to you by men who used the words of my prayers. You’re not alone in your grief or remembrance. The enemies of God are those who murder in His name. We know their names. It is time we said them from our own pulpits, in our own voices, before they speak for us again. Imam Tawhidi

Disturbing rhetoric from Mamdani, but not unexpected. There is no “genocide” in Gaza. The far left’s attempt to redefine any counterattack as genocide would also define the Allied liberation of Europe from the Nazis as a “genocide.” There is an immense overlap between the folks who don’t think Israel has the right to exist and the folks who hate America.
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes. Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment. To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

"We'll worry about Trump trying to steal the midterms if he actually steals the midterms" has got to be the dumbest, most absurd position to take. Tina Peters was convicted of multiple felonies after she facilitated a security breach of voting equipment to "prove" that the 2020 election was stolen. Jared Polis then granted her clemency, and now Peters is meeting with Trump in the White House to discuss "election integrity" ahead of the midterms, as Trump himself keeps making it clear that he's exploring different ways to upend elections Republicans are expected to lose. The people who tried to help him undermine/rig the 2020 election basically got away with a slap on the wrist, so it is easy to imagine that they see little reason not to try again. It's a crime that only has to be successful one time.

What a wanker Piers Morgan is. If you actually understand 7 October, you know that the Israeli response in Gaza has been remarkably restrained. 65,000 targets struck and only 73,000 killed, with a third of those combatants. All wars feature civilian deaths. In spite of Hamas’s human sacrifice strategy, unparalleled in other recent conflicts, the IDF did a magnificent, platinum-standard job of sparing civilian life whilst conducting the essential task of dismantling Hamas’s capabilities and infrastructure. A new bar has been set for any other army fighting a war of this nature in future.
