Gas prices hit $4.46 a gallon today — a gain of 17 cents over the previous week and $1.26 higher than the same point last year. Diesel prices are up more than $2.74 from a year ago. Families, farmers, and truckers are all getting squeezed. Meanwhile...

It really is beyond disgusting that Infantino tried to sell International Football to Donald Trump and his mates, so he could cash in for millions for himself. And FIFA are just continuing on like nothing happened. Disgraceful, boycott FIFA.

Trump praises North Korea's dictator as "unthreatening and respectful” and says he has ordered the Pentagon to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea because they are "hostile" to Pyongyang. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/u...

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Biden made the right decision with problematic execution pulling out of Afghanistan and he was savaged for it daily. Trump makes one of the worst strategic decisions in U.S. history with catastrophic consequences and somehow the reaction seems milder. Am I wrong about that?

~150 000 people were butchered by UAE-backed RSF at El Fasher when it fell three months ago. Yet in online media you tend to see only satellite imagery and refugees that were able to get away. Now think how different the world's response would be if the screen of billions would show the slaughter?

Now think if the public would have no imagery of the Holocaust except aerial photos of concentration camps and short films showing liberated survivors? How would it be remembered now then? Sudan doesn't get the attention it deserves because we are given a sanitized, distanced view of atrocities.

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoning—and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to. Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

All students who attend Harvard must take the SAT or ACT tests, and both tests ask significantly more complicated questions than simple addition. Trump did not get into Harvard or the University of Southern California. His dad ingratiated himself to get him into Wharton, which had lower standards.

The footage shows a mass burial in Goma, Congo, and was filmed by Reuters video journalist Djaffar Al Katanty, who said seeing Trump holding the article with the screengrab of his video was a shock.
