Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you

If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

What the Hungarian election is showing (other than Hungarians being done with Orban obviously) is that Trump is EXTREMELY unpopular internationally, especially now. Heās the ugliest possible avatar for the far-right project, and his endorsements are gonna start being kisses of death.

JUST IN: Viktor Orban conceded his defeat in Hungary. The far-right leader & Trump ally will no longer be prime minister. What remains to be seen is the size of his defeat ā and whether the opposition wins a supermajority to amend the constitution and reverse Orbanās rule.

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oilāthe Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isnāt just strategic defeat; itās self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history

NEW āĀ Iran had already presented a 10-point plan. Then Trump wakes up today and threatens to blow up Iran's "whole civilization" if they don't bend. And then, just an hour before his deadline, he announces a ceasefire, citing Iran's "workable" 10-point plan.
