This man is clearly completely fucking insane and also extremely stupid, why is anyone listening to him?
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

Neighbors - you do not need anyone's permission to sound your whistle when you spot ICE. Nor do you need to attend a whistle training first. Here's everything you need to know.

This is much more eloquent than my "if you use AI you're a weak little bitch" spiel but then again I'm not the pope.
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

9NEWS has obtained a copy of the Trump DOJ's request to take custody of Tina Peters.

Colorado's Department of Corrections redacted a large portion of the request, claiming its disclosure would be "contrary to public interest."

I can't tell you how fucking annoying the rise and grind bullshit is in a small office where the staff is underpaid and the big boss is a narcissist who routinely watches employees through his live cameras.

Shut the fuck up, you pompous little nepo baby.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."

We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Disgusting. As a former bookseller, I find this appalling. It’s not DEI- it’s discrimination toward LGBTQ people and books.

At a fundraiser in the Bay Area with v educated and informed people and a few said, "Hey Fuentes and Owens have changed! They're really good on some issues!"

Sigh. Don't sleep on this, folks.
I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.

You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.

This is what comes after Trump.
