Maybe the Smithsonian’s African-American history museum really is unfairly committed to telling the story of the trans-Atlantic human trafficking cataclysm perpetrated by centuries of Europeans.

There should be a Museum of Whites in the New World (1492 - 1859). We can focus on slavery over there.

The Mamdan-Trump meeting is over already.

President Trump said the two talked about common goals like bringing down food prices. “The better he does, the happier I am,” Trump said. 🎁

There is something powerful about seeing some of the biggest names in Chicago broadcast journalism in my lifetime signing this strong condemnation of what the federal government is doing to our city. Thank you.

"You know us...So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong."

Powerful letter from retired Chicago broadcast journalists about what ICE/CBP is doing to our city: "it is terror"

www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/13/l...
You know us. For years, you watched and listened to our coverage of the Chicago area. As journalists, we did our best to bring you accurate, objective information about the people, events and issues that mattered. We hope we gained your trust. So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong. The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done and what they may do in other cities. We are retired, but our colleagues who are still on the job have shown you a brutal and illegal campaign against fellow Chicagoans, mainly Latinos: violent abductions, gutting families, using tear gas around children, roughing up witnesses, ramming cars and even taking a day care teacher from her school.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Mr. Wolff was also involved in a third email exchange, which began on Dec. 15, 2015, the night of a debate in the Republican presidential primary. Mr. Wolff emailed Mr. Epstein and warned him that CNN was “planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you — either on air or in scrum afterwards.” Mr. Epstein wrote back, “If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?” Mr. Wolff advised inaction, suggesting that Mr. Trump might try to deny a close association with Mr. Epstein. “I think you should let him hang himself,” he wrote of Mr. Trump. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable P.R. and political currency” that could be used to “hang him” later or “save him, generating a debt.”

I’ve been going without pay for 7 weeks for nothing. This feels like a slap in the face from someone who was supposed to represent me. They used federal workers as pawns and then couldn’t even stick to the leverage that was supposed to gain them? No discipline in these electeds. Primary them all.

It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population.
