This is why the only Biden legacy that matters will be the second Trump presidency.

Megyn Kelly is trying to distract everyone from her support of pedophiles by attacking trans people.
A screenshot of a post on X. At the top is a tweet from Megyn Kelly, whose profile photo shows a blonde woman. Her tweet reads: “Men make the best women, we all know that,” followed by a shortened link. Below is an embedded post from the account “Libs of TikTok,” dated Nov 15, containing text criticizing a political appointment. Under the text is a portrait photo of a person with long wavy brown hair, wearing makeup, a gold necklace, and smiling. The background shows a softly lit indoor setting with large windows.

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp. Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists. Make it make sense.

It's an exclusive MYSTERY SOLVED. Guardian Australia figured out why Trump thought Norfolk Island (pop 2,188) has a huge leather shoe export business and penguins on Heard and McDonald Islands are running a secret machinery factory deserving of trade tariffs www.theguardian.com/...
theguardian.com
Not that Norfolk! Mislabelled shipments led to Trump tariffs on uninhabited islands and remote outposts with no US trade
Exclusive: Aquarium systems, Timberland boots and recycling plant parts were mislabelled as coming from remote Norfolk Island or Heard and McDonald islands

Has anyone yet rewritten Machiavelli's dedication to Lorenzo Medici as a call to the ambition of Democratic politicians? We need to have read more Machiavelli, more Kafka, and more Vaclav Havel.

Free "modest proposal" for Denmark. Call Trump's bluff. Demand $100B as a downpayment for negotiations over Greenland. Then use it to start hiring all the scientists whose NIH grants have been frozen. Steal America's scientific expertise while Trump is yelling at icebergs.
