He walked into the White House as a celebrated guest even though his record reads like a warning label on human brutality. Once you see who Mohammed bin Salman really is, you start asking why the president of the United States is standing beside him with a smile.

It occurs to me that Spanish Basque Migas, like this recipe from Navarra, might be a precursor to modern day Stuffing. Created by Shepherds, its origins trace back to Roman/Moorish times.

Mike Johnson walked out today thinking he could bluff the country with a cheap sign and five weak claims. My article tears every one of them apart and shows you exactly why his entire argument is pure bullsh*t from the first word to the last.

“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.”
Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.

Power doesn’t corrupt on its own; it feeds on the silence of those who know better and still say nothing.
