That Man wants war with Canada in four years so he can claim it is too dangerous and delay elections. Did I get that right? He always reveals his plans by what he accuses others of, in this case his obsession with Zelensky.

I have even more respect for Volodymyr Zelenskyy. If only America's leadership had half the good sense and self possession. Instead we get bullying and tantrums. And the Toxic Twins droning on and on about "respect" like the weak losers they are. I am ashamed.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt.
Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires?
We have our answer.

So what you are saying is we should all call the FCC complaining about the indecent ad.
Kanye West paid for his own Super Bowl commercial in which he encouraged viewers to go to yeezy.com. The only product available on his website at the moment is a swastika T-shirt, after a week of antisemitic ranting on Twitter.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.
