Can we all agree never to book Larry Summers on another news show, ever again? Unless the topic is "What Did You Know and When Did You Know It?"

We deserve biking and walking trails in rural America. Lots of people here love our Longleaf Trace in South Mississippi.
It really sucks that something that's so beneficial for mental and physical health for everyone has been turned into a such a partisan issue.

Harry Enten: "Nobody is buying what Trump is selling on Epstein. His net approval on it is an absolutely dreadful -39 pts... Far worse than any other major issue.
It isn't improving over time.
Even among the GOP, just 45% (!) approve of the job the Trump admin is doing on the Epstein case."

If the Biden administration had sent federal agents to do a law enforcement operation 10X milder in a white suburban neighborhood in order to apprehend a serial pedophile and violent domestic abuser who happened to be a white Christian pastor, the MAGA crew would have reduced the country to rubble.
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them
Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Fellow parents I know are hip to this, but if I find out Moms for Liberty or some such says 6-7 is a call to Satan I’m going to crawl in a hole and sob myself to death.
I have come to the decision that the 6-7 trend is just a mass trolling of the Olds and doesn’t have any actual point or meaning other then to drive the non-youth bananas. I am serious. Not joking. They are playing us and it’s actually pretty funny.
‘Six-seven’: what does the latest slang mean (and should parents be worried)?
It originated in a rap song, then featured in South Park, and is now the bane of schoolteachers in the US and UK as pupils shout it out at random. How did it become such a thing?

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism
