Trump might have no option but to release the Epstien files now, just to distract from the US performance in the Ryder Cup.

People shunned tesla because they didn't want to have a shitty and unsafe Nazi car parked outside their house. Will the same people now be queuing up to have a shitty and unsafe Nazi humanoid robot inside their homes? I'm not sure...

The art of the kneel!

I would have expected a more sophisticated deep state operation. But maybe that's the beauty of it, hit them where they least expect it!

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.

Which countries will remain?

Oops!!! If ever there was a picture that sums up the current US administration, this is it! All the enablers will eventually get burned....

If only the justice could always come as swift and as exact as it did for this guy!

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

I believe this new US administration is the only one capable of ending the Ukraine war in Ukraine's favor, unfortunately the only catch is that they would need to be on Russia's side for it to work.

Some European alternatives for digital services, these might be useful local solutions as the US, and it's new oligarchy, go down a strange path.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.
