The reproach was coming from the pen of Judge Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee & clerk for Supreme Court Justice Scalia. He has close ties to the conservative legal establishment. Not the profile of a judge likely to engage in a standoff with the White House. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/17/u...

Let us not forget the four legged heroes of 9/11. They burned their paws searching for survivors before their handlers realized it and put boots on them. A golden retriever guided her blind friend to safety: moments after the last staircase they descended collapsed. wgntv.com/news/remembe...

It grieves me to say this, but I can't be sorry Belgium won. Shitler put his thumb on the scale; Belgium schooled him. Our American players deserved better than to be publicly disrespected by a man who knows nothing about their sport but thought the team couldn't win without him breaking the rules.

Shitler is speaking from the G7. He's gasping into the microphone. Babbling incoherently that gas prices will now sink "$7 even $8". The prices were never that high to begin with Now he's lying about the Obama/Iran deal. This guy brings shame to the United States.
