What the hell is wrong with someone who would pardon a rapist who tied up a young mother and raped her…..and her little ones heard the whole thing. Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska pardoned the rapist.

A new CNN poll shows nearly 2/3 acknowledging we aren't winning the war. 70% say Trump’s Iran decisions have hurt the US, and 75 percent presume he has no plan to end it. A stunning 76 percent say it was not worth it. Remarkably for someone who used to dominate his party, much of decline is among Rs

Driscoll reportedly took his concerns about Hegseth’s leadership directly to Trump prior to resigning. It’s very unusual to have that big of a chasm with senior DOD leadership. We’ll see if Trump takes it seriously.

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Idaho Law Protects Faith Healers. It Wasn’t Always That Way.
From at least the 1880s through the early 1970s, it was illegal for parents in Idaho to choose prayer over medical care when a child’s life was at stake.
