“There is only one reality, and it is time to confront it. America is no longer the leader of the west, let alone the rest of the world. It is run by a wannabe king who uses the invasion of an ally as an opportunity for profit, who lies, cheats and backstabs his friends.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that “Putin has spent the entire year trying to play President Trump for a fool.” [We agree. Trump is a puppet and Putin’s useful idiot. He doesn’t believe in democracy or freedom at home. So, he’s willing to backstab Ukraine.]

Donald Trump is a divisive thug and a foe of American democracy. His threatening lawmakers is outrageous, unpatriotic and unacceptable. He seems to think he’s the president of Russia.

The Heritage Foundation is a garbage org filled with radicalized extremists. It plays footsie with fascists. It claims to support nationalism—but then kowtows to Nazis. If the toxic group is America First, why are their views so unAmerican?

When will the @ABAes push for the disbarment of Lindsey Halligan? She is making a mockery of the legal profession. The time for inaction, fear and silence are over. The ABA should recommend, to the appropriate state, Halligan never practices law again.

One wonders whether the Trump administration tampered with the Epstein Pedo-Files. Does anyone doubt that corrupt @FBIDirectorKash and epic brown-noser @AGPamBondi would manipulate the files or purge incriminating information, if asked? Americans have no faith in these toadies.

If the Supreme Court overturns laws banning conversion therapy, the vultures at The Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity are poised to “to rise exponentially to be the primary resource for successful therapy.” In other words, psychologically abuse children and defraud parents.

Under President Trump, an agency intended to keep Americans safe has diverted resources from combating child abuse, trafficking and terrorism.

Donald Trump pretended not to know about KKK Grand Wizard David Duke. Now he pretends not to know much about “Nazi Nick” Fuentes. How stupid are people to believe this con man? Much of the GOP has embraced white supremacy.

Homeland security agents investigating sexual crimes against children have been redeployed to the immigrant crackdown for weeks at a time, hampering their pursuit of child predators.

It’s laughable when @TuckerCarlson says, “Western civilization is derived from the New Testament.” No, western civilization—modernity—comes from Enlightenment values, where reason is elevated over religion and superstition. Carlson is a primitive fool with backward views.

Dark Money Deluge: A single mega-donor gave Leonard Leo $1.6B in 2023. A gargantuan war chest now turbocharging Project 2025 groups. They hide behind “philanthropy” while funding hate and authoritarianism.

How do your pedophiles vote? Apparently, it matters to Donald Trump. To distract from his creepy ties to Jeffrey Epstein, he ordered an investigation on Democrats linked to Epstein. Apparently, victims don’t matter. It’s about the party affiliation of the abusers. Sick.

Why is Trump pampering Ghislaine Maxwell in a luxury prison? He’s doing this at the same time he’s trying to stop the release of the Epstein files. Hmm…

MAGA is racist and bigoted—with the movement worshipping “Nazi Nick” Fuentes. It’s appalling that Indiana University suspended professor Jessica Adams for saying so. This is an attempt to silence the truth and attack academic freedom. Adams should be promoted.

Forget the Monroe Doctrine. We are about to have the Epstein Doctrine—where Donald Trump starts a war with Venezuela, and maybe Colombia, to distract from his association with the grotesque Epstein Pedo-Files.

Project 2025 Republicans talk a good game on “Family Values” and religion. Speaker Mike Johnson and VP JD Vance pose as the World’s most devout Christians. Meanwhile, the GOP protected a degenerate president deeply tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Disgraceful.

President Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has fired or sidelined at least two dozen generals and admirals over the past nine months—all of who are infinitely more qualified than the former Fox News host. This is how superpowers decline and ultimately fall.

The government shutdown revealed two types of Christians. The bogus Project 2025 “Christians”, led by Russell Vought, tried to starve poor Americans by cutting SNAP benefits. The real Christians, in liberal churches, opened soup kitchens to feed the hungry. One group cruel, the other kind.
