Congratulations to Sheriff Danny Ceisler! 🙌
If Republican #BucksCounty PA Sheriff Fred Harran gets his way over the legal objections by the county commissioners,
Harran will direct his office to participate with ICE in this global #ConcentrationCamp network

"The latest plan, which officials said was still preliminary, calls for a ballroom much larger than the West Wing and the Executive Mansion. Mr. Trump has said publicly that he would like a ballroom big enough to hold a crowd for a presidential inauguration."

Someone needs to reach out to Paulette Bourgeois and ask her when she will be filing that lawsuit against Hegseth for violating her copyright. This is appalling. Not even funny.

the administration is being cute about it now, but a funny thing about the Hegseth double tap reporting is that he made a lengthy huffy comment after the story published. He had a chance to deny it, and say (or lie even) I never said this. This isn’t a trick question, he coulda done that. He didn’t!

I happily donate to Wikipedia, incredible resource in this day and age especially.
I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.
