I would say he has declined 600 or 700 percent. Some people say 1400 percent. No one has ever seen such declines. They say it took George Washington almost 250 years to decline as much. Huge decline.

Every major news organization should be writing about how insane this is and how, if he takes this country to war (tomorrow?), it is the act of a madman.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Same! Been a while, but I could use a topo map and compass and start a hike now. Makes me want to get moving
I'm proud to say I also read topo maps. I taught my kids' Scout troops how to use them for orienteering and with road maps, as mountains add time and stress on the car to a trip. Besides transistor radios & daily newspapers, the list could add "compass." I always had one attached on the dashboard.

It is just deeply weird to me that Musk and others like him are worried about white people becoming a minority. Why the hell should I care if the world, or specific parts of it, have more people with darker skin than mine than they do people with the same color skin as mine?
Musk is just straight up white nationalist now.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Trump has Mamdani in such a subserviant position in this entire set up. Ensured he’s sitting and Mamdani is standing. Not even showing enough respect to stand. Drafting off his popularity and star power and the cost of living urgency. But also making Mamdani look subordinate and compromised.

Julie Brown was for the Miami Herald. She actually cared about the victims, not the powerful.
And it is inexcusable she didn't win a Pulitzer for her work.
