Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

TOP TEN REJECTED STATE DEPT FONTS

10. Rubio
9. Tragic Sans
8. Covfefe
7. Fulgencio Handwriting
6. Soviet Underwood
5. Atlas Shrugged
4. Mussolini Neue
3. Von Ribbon-Trop
2. Foam Party
1. Trumpf Dingbats
Mr. Rubio said switching back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.” Calibri is “informal” when compared to serif typefaces like Times New Roman and “clashes” with the department’s official letterhead. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation.

Documenting Deportation Flights at MSP Airport

“ICE agents would disembark from the airplane and unload bags of shackles from the cargo hold … seeing the chains that would soon be confining my neighbors, binding their hands together at their waist and then down between their ankles.”

I have not seen Hamnet yet, but this sounds like a good take. "Soft." Maybe that's a dis that means "not macho." To me, as a woman, it's not a dis to consider Sinners and One Battle macho. They're both great at what they're doing!
Hamnet is a superb film that shouldn't need defending, but apparently it does, so I'll just say that I can't count the number of Oscar seasons in which a movie labeled as "soft" or "manipulative" is attacked bc it putatively threatens the chances of a NOT-soft film that is at least as manipulative.

"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'I’m a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?'

She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work."
