Charlie Kirk fans threaten HBCUs because they want to lash out at Charlie’s enemies, and theirs, and they’re conceding that means black people. Not ONLY, but definitely.

Trump’s FBI Director, Kash Patel, is under fire for spreading misinformation about the Charlie Kirk case, undermining confidence in the bureau, forcing out the counterterrorism agent in Utah with expertise in these types of investigations, and cursing out agents for his own failures.

To explain this photo a bit more: back then, most programming was done on paper (sometimes on special coding sheets), then punched onto cards/tape, then fed into a mainframe to be tested (& if necessary debugged). Counterintuitively, needing LESS computer time was the mark of a better programmer!

That's unfortunate because we have 3.5 years left....
You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.
