The only things the rest of the world likes about the United States are the NBA and Black music. Here's why we must uphold English-Scots-Irish culture.

My three-year-old was reading the Epstein files when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy why did so many nice people at Harvard like Jeffrey Epstein?" And when I told her "Because people at Harvard will do anything for a buck," she started crying.

We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

I guess we’re supposed to wait until after the midterms to start calling Trump a lame duck president. 🤷🏽♂️

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend
The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting
Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

i would like to read a deeply-reported, 10,000-word investigative piece about the procurement process that ends up sourcing a luxury 737 for the head of DHS which only seats 17 people
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to the GOP's effort to impeach Joe Biden. Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges and was sentenced to six years in prison. After a few months, he just mysteriously disappeared.
Here's a story that flew under the radar. Of course it happened during the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime.

This is a stark departure from common practice in journalism. Looks like an attempt to punish AOC for having the temerity to talk overseas. If the NY Times quoted everyone like this – not cleaning up stammers, repeated words and "um" – its quotations would look much different. They'd be a mess.

The ranch was under Epstein's ownership, managed by a New Zealand couple named Karen and Brice Gordon. They also hosted sex parties and recruited local showgirls, according to a local stripper... Later, the Gordons went into hiding, fearing for their lives.

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

I signed up for a meal service again. I opted for Garnish and Gather (even though I thought the company should be logically called Gather and Garnish). I got my first "box" today, although it wasn't a box. I was a canvas bag that they will take back and reuse. That seems a more responsible approach.
