It's scary to think that if anything happens to Bibi Netanyahu, JD Vance would become president of the United States.

Whether it’s Michelle Obama, encouraging children to get exercise and eat vegetables or Melania Trump announcing that she never trafficked children to notorious pedophiles, both First Ladies made controversial announcements involving children.

Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. As MAGA voters reckon with Donald Trump's increasingly deranged behavior and betrayals of his core campaign promises, their reactions fit neatly within the five stages of grief. This piece looks at what that shift may mean and what could come next.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...
The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

As I suspected, apparently JD's trip to Hungary and the endorsements by Trump and Bibi has caused Orban's poll numbers to go down another 3%. The source was a video from a Polish news source so no link, but having the two least popular leaders on the planet's endorsement is not helpful.

In response to the Pope’s anti-war statements, the Pentagon summoned his ambassador and told him that the U.S. has the military power to do “whatever it wants” and that the Catholic Church had better fall in line. As a Christian, as a Protestant, as an American I renounce this as evil.
