CHARGES DROPPED! Tennessee authorities dismiss charges against man who posted Trump meme www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

BREAKING NEWS: Charges dropped!!!

Even for Trump World, this is a shocking outrage. Everything about this—from LEOs threatening, then arresting this citizen (who committed no crime), the judge setting a mind-bogglingly inappropriate bond, then delaying the hearing five more weeks—is legally and morally wrong, and wholly un-American.

I wrote an article last week on how Chicagoans trust local news more than national. You can say the same about Nashville. Great work from Phil Williams at WTVF.

The U.S. is “on a trajectory” toward authoritarian rule, according to a sobering new intelligence-style assessment by former US intelligence and national security officials, who warn democratic backsliding may soon become entrenched without organized resistance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Last week, I broke the story of how a Russian street fight promotion expanded into the US with help of neo-nazis from the Active Club network & Patriot Front. Streets Fight Club (SFC) has promoted no-rules, bare-knuckle fights on Instagram & YouTube while raising funds for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Just when she began acting like she was starting to get it!

President Trump and I have something in common: We both recently got our annual flu and updated Covid vaccines!

The JD Vance interviews show how broken the Sunday morning political show format has become. Such interviews are a purely performative exercise.

Many American Jews sharply disapprove of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, with 61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 4 in 10 saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians wapo.st/42q0h5z

It doesn’t matter that the case against Comey is unlikely to result in conviction. Federal law enforcement is being turned into a political instrument of the leader and the ruling party. That is how corrupt autocracies work. newrepublic.com/article/2010...

Former FBI Director James Comey reacts to indictment by the Trump administration: “We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either.”

Cheering what soldiers? As a Tennessee journalist who has been monitoring these developments, I can tell you the Guard has not yet been deployed!

“They want me dead.” In new podcast, Christian nationalist Pastor Andrew Isker argues that any suggestion that his ideas represent “hate” is same as advocating his murder, expresses hope that “every scumbag journalist is shaking in his boots right now.”

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

A flyer posted to Telegram today claims that if Kai Liam Nix wasn't arrested he would have saved Charlie Kirk from "ANTIFA." Nix, a former-U.S. soldier, serial doxer and recruiter for Patriot Front, was charged last yr with illicit weapons sales and lying on his background check. 1/4

Donald Trump’s new $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times spends four pages celebrating the settlements by ABC and Paramount. This is what capitulation gets you: more of the same sorts of attacks.

Interesting polling data: Those with unfavorable views of Donald Trump are the LEAST LIKELY to support political violence.
