I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

It's one thing to be so incredibly incompetent as Eric Schmitt that your dramatic "GOTCHA" moment falls apart in real time. It is quite another thing to be so incredibly dishonest as Eric Schmitt that you then go on a right-wing show and pretend it didn't happen. "My job is to ask the questions."😜

'We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.' The US president is a lying tosspot. The plot was foiled by an insomniac farmer, who spotted the men and reported them to Gloucestershire police.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

Kimberly Guilfoyles Troubling Deals Exposed By Gatekeeper Raising Alarm Bells
Concerns are mounting over Kimberly Guilfoyle, President Donald Trump's ambassador to Greece, as she has been frequently seen with a lobbyist who many believe is operating outside the usual bounds of diplomatic protocol. Reports from The Wall Street Journal reveal that Guilfoyle has been accompanied by Christos Marafatsos, a 39-year-old lobbyist who has reportedly taken on the role of her unofficial gatekeeper during her tenure abroad.

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
