Marie Antoinette was 9 years old and not yet queen when Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote the phrase "let them eat brioche" and attributed it to a "great princess". It was used against Marie during the Revolution despite the fact she actually gave a lot to charity. She was naive. These people are evil.

BBC interview with kids in 1966 predicting the year 2000. Quite accurate is it? Also do you observe the fluency of the children? Nowdays they would speak with ah, oh, okay, whateva.

The US Constitution is a blueprint for governing and a safety net for civil liberties, not an obstacle to be navigated for loopholes. Happy Constitution Day.

Do you have any idea how much better things would be right now if Kamala and Tim were in the White House? What if we had elected Al Gore? Hillary Clinton? America needs some soul-searching.

Rep. Joyce Beatty on her call with the VDPRPOS* POTUS yesterday about the Kennedy Center: "I think it would be unthinkable for someone to hear a president using the language that he used. He threw a tantrum. It was like an immature child. I wouldn't even want to put this on a child."

If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should. The FCC and this administration are constantly trying to squash the resistance, but the resistance always finds a way around them. They can keep trying to silence people. It isn’t working. Tomorrow there will be more of us!

2 dead in Michigan from Taylor Farms lettuce. 1.7M+ contaminated eggs at Kroger. 3 dogs sick from Oma's Pride dog food. E. coli berries in 8 states. This is what happens when the FDA can't act before the harm — and victims can't sue after. All thanks to The Roberts Court.
