Richsplaining: When people get on MSM with their makeup, hair, pricey clothes, nails and whatever else… and proceed to richsplain how to starve — with a $3 meal… I’m reminded why we don’t watch MSM. Just clips from wherever others snagged their clips.

When someone asked "Why would you as a business choose to piss off 1/2 of your potential customers? Just curious what sense that makes." the bakery responded with "I don't want those customers."

Those who become anti-government extremists when there’s a Democrat in office have seamlessly transitioned to becoming pro-government extremists. It's never been about whether the govt is being abusive, it’s about who’s on the receiving end of the abuse. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/what-happe...

What Happened to the "Don't Tread On Me" Conservatives?
Guess what, they never cared about individual rights or had a problem with state violence. It just depends on who's on the receiving end.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

No one is safe from gun violence in America. We do not have to keep living like this. Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11. 24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues. A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

They Helped Rebuild After 9/11. Now They Live in Fear of Deportation.
Nearly 25 years after clearing rubble at ground zero, undocumented workers could gain a pathway to citizenship with a bill from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being reintroduced today.

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high. Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance. Nothing trickles down to workers.

The Epstein File is the Crown jewel and Holy Grail of Right wing conspiracies as stoked by Trump and championed by right wing influencers for the past 10 years. Now Trump is telling them it is a hoax and that his base are stupid fools to believe otherwise. That broke their fever and the Worm turns.
