I’m heartbroken: the literary giant Mario Vargas Llosa has passed away. To me, he was a magician of words, weaving politics, history, and fiction like no other. His fierce defense of classical liberal values made him my absolute favorite. Rest in Peace, maestro. 💔

This is a Hitler-screaming-in-his-bunker-at-generals level of lunacy
Trump post: "The Globalist Wall Street Journal has no idea what they are doing or saying. They are owned by the polluted thinking of the European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of “screwing” the United States of America. Their (WSJ!) thinking is antiquated and weak, and very bad for the USA. But have no fear, we will WIN on everything!!! Egg prices are down, oil is down, interest rates are down, and TARIFF RELATED MONEY IS POURING INTO THE UNITED STATES. “The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself!”"

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

Bernie Madoff victims now got 94% back from the infamous Ponzi scheme. Considering that #crypto "investors" will get 0% back, I guess the Madoff name won't sound so bad in the future. www.cnbc.com/2024/12/30/b...

Last Madoff victim fund payout brings recovery to nearly 94% of Ponzi scheme losses, DOJ says
More than 40,000 victims lost billions of dollars to Bernie Madoff, whose Ponzi scheme has been called the largest in the world.

For 32 days, the Georgian people have faced down regime violence to fight for fair elections & a future away from Russia and with the EU. Every democracy globally needs to publicly state that we have their backs. The Russian state is the world’s foremost terrorist. Georgia’s fight is our fight.

Fudging election results... Erdogan has done it repeatedly over the past 10+ years. I really wish someone would investigate and write a comprehensive study shedding light on the dirty tricks. If that has already been done, I'd appreciate a link/reference. Thanks.

I think it's time we ban the word "terrorist". Used and abused, it impedes discussion and learning. It only makes those who use it feel self-righteous.
