In 1990, only 1.2% of all guns manufactured were AR15s. Now, >23.4% of all guns made are AR15s & mass shootings with ⬆️ casualties skyrocketed - due to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban expiring in 2004 & the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act giving the gun industry a civil liability shield.

Are we holding Israel to a different standard than other countries, attacking Zionism (Judaism) as a slur for all Jews everywhere?

If we wish to denounce hatred, shouldn't we denounce all hatreds in every country? That is the question this article asks:

For me, the LA protests are solely issues of Free Speech and States Rights. Martial, and not Marshall Law. In each case, the Trump administration has a losing hand.

Traumatic brain injury is an area of scientific study that barely existed 20 years ago, and the knowledge we’ve gained in that short time alone has led to multiple paradigm shifts that can prevent disabilities and even prevent major tragedies. The knowledge we will lose out on will harm generations.
Trump's proposed 2026 budget would dramatically cut federal funding for traumatic brain injury research.

The proposal would eliminate all of the $8.25 million at the CDC marked for brain injury research and public education about the dangers of concussions.

🔥Rufus Gifford, former U.S. amb. to Denmark, unloaded on JD Vance for saying Denmark “is not a good ally”:

Go to Denmark and say it to the faces of the parents of the young men and women who lost their lives alongside U.S. troops. Say it to them!
March 27, 2025 at 12:32 PM
Anyone trying justifying Vance's visit noting he was standing in the middle of USAF base, a thousand miles from Greenland's capital, and needed to shout over the winds and weather?

No, ok, well it is a justification no matter how irrational it may sound. And it fits the man, like his 'att-ire'.

With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.
