Prayer warriors, remember: Even Daniel had encrypted visions. Today, we have Signal—divinely blessed for confidential chats. Now, what are we doing with these houthi bastards again?

"Lord, the right to personal property, also known as free enterprise or capitalism, is the governmental economic system supported by scripture. Scripture does not support communism. Amen."

God and his wisdom to be proactive against radical Islam with nukes has summoned the Christian nationalist movement to occupy our nations most prominent seats of power.

C'mon y'all! It's literally in the bible!

“The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

Or listening to callers on Washington Journal every morning.

Question for anyone: we lost access to the internet, but our intranet stayed up.

I could ping the gateway and Google, but couldn't get anywhere in a browser.

"In the first days of his presidency, Donald Trump last week terminated what he described as a DEI hiring program within the Federal Aviation Administration, claiming he had restored aviation safety"

a mass casualty event and the media has an uncanny amount of knowledge about the suspect that they unload immediately on the public

I google ONE private prison Corp and I'm inundated with sickeningly greedy articles with titles like "Check out our top 10 Prison and Law Enforcement Stocks to invest in! 😃

I'm so tired of sex in films and television. Like, I get it, the characters have to fuck. Can't we just allude to sex, presume it happened, and move the story along?

I only approve if sex is used as comic relief 😌

There is no way in hell a parent or loved one could just accept this "hypothesis". It reeks of lazy police wishing to shirk their duty of investigating the young woman's death. The audacity to float this idea out while the investigation is ongoing is so irresponsible.

Another telecom surveillance story.

"The U.S. government has confirmed that hackers with links to China breached multiple U.S. telecommunication service providers to access the wiretap systems used by law enforcement to surveil Americans"

Backdooring the backdoor?
