This is what a real-life global super villain sounds like.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.
Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.

After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.

Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”

Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Even Cato Institute can see clearly what Trump is doing is against the law... never thought I'd be checking my sanity against a libertarian think tank, but here we are, and it's refreshing to see at least one conservative organization not bowing to kiss his ring: www.cato.org/commentary/i...
Illegal Actions, Missing Consequences
Trump is capitalizing on a two-century-long trend of consolidating power in the executive branch.

So the "Master of the Art of the Deal" now wants Ukraine to give up a huge part of its country that was taken by force in order to negotiate peace with the aggressor. Some deal. More like "Art of the Doormat". This is not the USA I know and love.

The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.
Pope Francis, who reached out to the margins of society, has died at 88

I will truly miss Pope Francis. He was a lighthouse of the hope of reconciliation, a powerful voice for marginalized people, and a lovingly strong challenger of worldly authority - very much like another religious leader I follow who reportedly died around this same time of year 😉

One of the benefits of having a 5-year-old is when they make you breakfast, but mistake the cream container for a tiny gallon of milk.
