Carlos is a mensch. If you get the Tennis Channel, you see the same players beating up on each other week after week, and you wonder how they do it. Well, they're breaking down. Bublik remarking to the umpire, "Remember when tennis was easy?" Well, it ain't any more. www.youtube.com/shorts/YrA0s...

"Can you imagine the derisory coverage...?" But that's Reform from the get go - nothing there: disorder, corruption, incompetence, yet everyone unaccountably quaking at the very mention of their name. With ~20% desperately grabbing onto them as some kind of saviors rather than a grifting project.

I wouldn't say stupid - they needed, and richly deserved, a fire lighted under their behinds. Of course one needs to modulate this as the election approaches (unification etc.). Certain fringe segments will never cooperate though. They're (we're) Dems after all.

The left is more apt to describe how each of the both sides are awful, and in rather unequal terms. Which nuance makes it ok with me. So I wouldn't both sides both sides. And the media fall all over themselves in qualifying every criticism lest someone call them unfair. Making them worst of all.

Well he's just repeating the both-sides crap he (and we) have been fed by the media every day. And with a reporter riding with him, may have said it to make her comfortable and to fit in with the conventional narrative. Exasperating, and certainly prevalent on the right, but it matters little here.

About fell off the couch when I saw Elliot Williams state this on CNN (and he seemed a little shamefaced doing it). If you consume intoxicants and become helpless as a result then it is open season for anyone to rape you. Is this the correct inference? Have you all lost your effing minds?

Every time they drag him in to testify in public, he'll be saying this, and he'll won't be challenged on it, and no one will sue him, and eventually people will come to the conclusion that yeah, your President is a traitor, a thief, liar, a crook, and a criminal.

Hey Todd, I'm afraid you'll have to lock them all up. They've been frying the DOJ's ass tactics nonstop for well over a year. You should have multiple legal misconduct complaints filed against you and your malicious lying incompetent toadies in all 50 states. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/u...
The suggestion by Judge Paula Xinis, who is handling the original civil case emerging from the wrongful deportation, came during a hearing in Federal District Court in Maryland where she exploded at the Justice Department for having badly damaged the bonds of trust that are normally afforded by the courts to lawyers for the government.

“This has been the process from Day 1,” said Judge Xinis, who in the past several months has chided the administration over and over for how it has handled Mr. Abrego Garcia’s case. “You have taken the presumption of regularity and you’ve destroyed it in my view.”

Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago, Vol. I. His encounter with the new Soviet engineering class.
An engineer?  I had grown up among engineers, and I could remember the engineers of the twenties very well indeed: their open shining intellects, their free and gentle humor, their agility and breadth of thought, the ease with which they shifted from one engineering field to another, and, for that matter, from technology to social concerns and art. Then, too, they personified good manners and delicacy of taste; well-bred speech that flowed evenly and was free of uncultured words;  one of them might play a musical instrument, another dabble in painting; and their faces always bore a spiritual imprint.

Because they're a threat to national security. Because they do not support Trump's agenda for the Western Hemisphere. When your social media outlet for official comms and/or advertising is blocking the Brazilian Catholic Bishops' Conference, perhaps you should rethink your venue of choice.

In US everybody says "I have the best job in the world and I'm not thinking at all about running for (a higher office), just doing the best job I can for my constituents." Then they run for office anyway. Everyone shrugs. Of course they were lying then. Why make Starmer stay if he doesn't want to.

It's all for show. Putin gives back a few kidnapped children to Melania, she is awarded the Children's Freedom Award (I just made that up) by FIFA (that too), Trump is happy and he screws Ukraine over a bit more, or tells the Baltics that they're next and BTW screw NATO, and Putin is happy too.

OMG, look at those things! It looks like a intricately set perfect gemstone. But it's alive, and it took millions of years to set that piece just so. Amazing. Hard to explain, except as a universal appreciation of, and attraction to, beauty, that bestows a competitive advantage among living things.

This is the level of academic thinking at one of our the new university-based, legislatively mandated "Civics, Culture, Statemanship" centers. Just an ugly MAGA screed from an alleged "scholar". It wouldn't make the grade in any decent class. www.wcwvu.org/missives/our...
There are no foreign troops on our soil, but our national crisis is in a way more serious than the Revolutionary War. The threat is more insidious, worsened by the thinkers who should have been vigilant against it. It is more far-reaching, spread by now throughout our culture and civic life. Our invaders have not been soldiers in a foreign army but falsehoods of a destructive ideology. It has gone by many names, but lately it has come to be known as “Woke.” It has turned our universities...into seminaries of a new religion, producing activists rather than scholars, dogmatists rather than thinkers, nihilists rather than builders.

[L]et’s consider only the study of our Founding Fathers themselves. Instead of approaching them as models of civics, culture, and statesmanship, professors today prefer to show how they were racists, sexists, homophobes, and colonizers. The opportunity to appreciate their wisdom is lost. The opportunity to use them as models for a new generation of statesmen is lost. The opportunity to adapt their wisdom to our national crisis is lost. What is gained instead is an incantation of Woke pieties: that our culture is systemically racist, its land stolen from indigenous peoples, its leaders misogynists trapped in the gender binary. 

These are not random critiques, but a sustained effort to demoralize us as a nation. Woke professors may believe they are acting alone, as free thinkers, but isn’t it odd how everywhere you go they sing from the same hymnal? This is because their ideology doesn’t wake anyone up; it puts reason to sleep. It doesn’t enlighten anyone; it forces us to stumble in the dark. Students who should be asking questions become commissars of cancel culture....Woke produces obedient cogs in a social machine that is grinding them down. Our young are becoming sicker, sadder, and less curious. They’re becoming hostile to diverse ideas, enemies of justice, and inclusive only of those who kneel before their false god: DEI.
