A fake romance that is the product of the rumor mill or is ginned up by the supposed participants themselves for their own interests. Love it!

I don't get this. Erica Kirk is simply cashing the checks Charlie Kirk's death wrote. She has a very limited window to cash in and she, like all good right wing Christians is damn well doing so.
When does her book come out and the speaking tour start?

In her new media ascent, Erika Kirk whitewashes her husband’s legacy
In recent appearances, Charlie Kirk's widow has hardly been asked about Turning Point USA's right wing mission.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this marvelous photo was that great Western expression, “all hat and no cattle”. Better yet, even the hat’s too big.

I couldn’t agree more! And it’s true, the rest of the world doesn’t see the USA as a lily-white country and, until this year, it was viewed as the most inclusive and welcoming nation in the world. America is bigger and warmer than the MAGA vision.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

I've paired the cartoon with some images from what Ukraine endures from Russia.
Are the images below ever shown on India Today?
(Followers in India, if you could share how the media show Russia's war in Ukraine in India, I'd be very grateful for your stories.)
