Ukraine "peace plan" not also benefits Putin, it also benefits the USA: "$100 billion (about €87 billion) in frozen Russian assets must be released, to be spent on "American-led investments" in Ukraine. ... If those investments also generate revenue, the US will also receive half of that"

Kim Davis, a former clerk, tries to overturn the right for same sex people to marry. Why are they so bothered with the life of other people? How does that affect them in any way? Why should it be their business?

Trump's response to the "No Kings" protest is remarkable and telling. He made an AI video of him with a crown, flying over the protesters and dumping what I assume is diarrhea.
This is exactly what he is doing in reality: dumping crap on his fellow Americans. He sure has a lot as he is full of it.

For now, still no Tomahawks for Zelenskyy. I guess Trump needs to confide with his boss Putin to ask for the best way to spin this. A dilemma for Trump, who loves the money he would earn by selling the weapons to Europe. But he can't anger his boss either.

A Dutch company builds drones for Ukraine that costs one tenth of a Tomahawk. It has a camera that recognizes the landscape, so no GPS needed and not sensitive to jamming. These are the winged type with a rocket engine.
