TN sending National Guard? In 2024, Memphis had 2501 violent crimes per 100k people. DC had 925.

Hey, hey, hey - don’t go bringing facts and logic into this…

Not at all shocked. It takes as much time—if not more—to fix the issues with AI work as it does to just do the work myself. I’ve found few instances that create real efficiency, and the efficiencies do not outweigh the drain on resources. www.entrepreneur.com/business-new...

Violent crime in D.C. is down 26% in 2025. It was down 35% in 2024. What Trump is attempting to do could not be a more obvious attempt to distract from The Epstein Files. Source:

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

So far, the only thing I miss about TikTok is the sense of community. I’d loved checking in on my friends’ gardens and crafts, which is pretty damn wholesome. Unless there’s something they’re not telling us, why is the government trying to rob us of community?

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.
