I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Maybe it wasn't the best idea to put unscrupulous people in charge who think they will be Raptured before the war crime trials convene.

Viktor Orban is currently having a coronary.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

"...the president is eyeing removing Patel and is considering top FBI official Andrew Bailey as the bureau’s new director..."
Trump can install Bailey as acting FBI director without Senate confirmation after Dec 15, when he will have served 90 days in his position.
(I hoped Hegseth would go first.)

President Trump may have had enough of Kash Patel, according to sources
The president is weighing whether to oust the FBI director after scrutiny of Patel's stewardship of bureau resources, including his girlfriend’s security detail and use of a government jet.

One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.
And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.

With important peace talks underway in Europe, the Trump admin sent the Army Secretary to represent the Pentagon since they can t trust unserious Hegseth not to embarrass them with his daily dipshittery. So they kept him home to threaten Mark Kelly with a court martial.

Trump is a failure of a president, the Ukraine “negotiation” proves this. But how pathetic is he? A 5 year old boy in the body of an 80 year old trying to still win his dads affection.

Of course you’d expect “move” to be the answer to inflation from an administration that says the answer to ATC problems and canceled flights is “dress nicer.”
