“In God We Trust”!

Do atheist student leaders have a non-prayer, secular invocation?

Maybe they’ll get some clarity on that $495 million purchase of the prison in Minnesota from CoreCivic.

This is obscene. We don’t vote for presidents so they can increase or decrease their personal wealth.

Yah, but he probably feels “Mission Accomplished” with as much of Project 2025’s goals achieved. Now he does a fake fall on his sword. Fake fake fake.

Politicians don’t talk about free markets anymore.

Such a difference between this and Epstein, while the subject of sexual abuse of minors is roughly the same. I guess the lesson is, if you’re gonna rape and pillage, first be filthy rich.

Cecilia Vega, the 60 Minutes correspondent fired as part of a dramatic overhaul of the CBS News show this spring, said it “hurts” to see what has happened to the storied newsmagazine and other segments of the network, and repeated allegations that she was told to insert “factually untrue” information into her work.

I’d reckon that in a fascist regime, “factually untrue” information would be a regular part of propaganda, however it’s delivered.

The worst people I’ve known in my life were religious (Christian). I truly believe they like the idea they’re forgiven no matter how bad their actions, all they have to do is accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior!

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

I wish I could undo the lessons I learned in Christian private schools. You do not have my permission to use my taxes to fund these unrepentant child abusers and their institutions. Unfortunately, what I want doesn’t seem to matter to our overlords.

I entered CBS and related companies into uBlock Origin so I don’t accidentally click on them and give them click income.

Not available on laptop, apparently. Only the mobile version? That’s what search said.

A photo at the top of the article shows MapQuest being used on a laptop. If MapQuest’s surveillance layer is not available on a laptop, the photo accompanying the article seems rather misleading.

Surveillance for thee, but not for me.

… Yet when Sistilli pointed out the double standard at play here, the officers still didn’t get it. …

Does anyone else remember way back when when Trump was against new wars?

How many times has it been the end of the world? When I was a kid, it was the Cold War, every day the newspapers had articles about how we were on the verge of nuclear war. Famine was another, there was not enough water for the crops. There was AIDS, we were all going to get ill and die of Kaposi’s Sarcoma. There’s got to be a list of these somewhere…
