Who do they think they are, coming to this country and not adopting our ways

Just another day of completely unhinged actions by a lawless narcissist who is grabbing all he can from American taxpayers. Because this is precisely what that is. The President of the United States is telling the American taxpayer that they owe him $10B.

When we learned last year that Bessent got in a shoving match with Elon Musk in the White House, I'm sure some people said "Huh, maybe he's an okay guy" but in actuality Bessent is a smug asshole, and he just happened to get in a fight with another smug asshole

Caught four blocks from my kid’s school, while class was in session. It was clearly trying to reach a member of my family to seek the asylum it knew would be granted. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I never gave up on you, two stage reusable space plane.

Almost all of the AR-15s in this thread are basement quality junk. No muzzle devices, cheap hand guards, bizarre optics. It’s like showing up at an auto rally in a Ford Fiesta thinking you look badass. Embarrassing but if everyone shows up in a Fiesta it’s not so embarrassing anymore.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The Army has posthumously commissioned seven University of Hawaii ROTC cadets of Japanese descent who were killed during World War II while fighting as enlisted soldiers in Europe.

EVERYBODY MEET MIZOKAMI CAT #5. I’m going to bed tonight with the front doors swung wide open and a big pile of steaks inside. No coincidence it was spotted two blocks from the House of Prime Rib.

No fuckin way

its a natto and gyoza for dinner kind of night.

The US Army wants to “produce and rapidly field” up to 24 next-generation Enduring High Energy Laser (E-HEL) systems over a five-year contract, according to a new draft RFP www.laserwars.net/p/army-endur...

Berlin's rave scene continues to fund one of the most impressive naval construction programs on Earth.

Nervous body language here, despite the smile. Good.

The complete left vs right flip on the Second Amendment in the last week, especially the last 24 hours, is truly astonishing.

So now that the victim isn't a liberal lesbian, but a white dude with a CCW permit, what will the "gun community" excuse be?

See, here’s the thing. You’re asking a question that your constituents are looking to you to know the answer to. You’re elected to lead and instead you’re standing there asking the same questions everyone else is, like its in the power of someone else to do something about it.

Did they intentionally target a city with the weakest, most passive, ineffectual leader ever?

“To defend the homeland” from the people who wash your dishes. Not the ones pointing nuclear weapons at you.

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

Smith and Wesson’s knife division is just kinda sad. The knives have names like Victory, Bodyguard, Special Ops, and Extreme Ops, and its always just a $20 knife.

A friend told me about taking psilocybins and seeing elves with tool belts 30 years ago. Easily the least weird thing he ever told me. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

The word ninja is meaningless now. A turkey caller for god’s sake.

Stamping license plates is the next step on the ICE career path.

Bessent really features an unmatched combination of utter stupidity and smug arrogance.

I just paid $35 in tariffs on a pair of kids rollerblades.

Hmm. It’s not a B-2 or B-21, though a B-2 was in the area at the time. If I had to guess, given what we already have and what we need, it’s some kind of stealthy aerial refueling tanker. But my guess is as bad as anyone else’s. theaviationist.com/2026/01/18/d...

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

It should have ended at this moment.

I have lived long enough to see the left cheer people open carrying AR-15s. Incredible times.

I want to be clear about what I’m saying here. The only way to restore credibility as a reliable and safe ally is to totally and utterly repudiate this administration. That cannot happen at the ballot box. It has to be done by the Republican Party. That is the only way to regain any level of trust.

Crafting on the calendar for today.

Nearly 9 in 10 US voters oppose taking Greenland by military force -- including over two-thirds of Republicans abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-...

I guess I should have taken up that offer to write for Stars and Stripes several years ago because it definitely isn’t happening now.

Never forget that without Trump, these are people who would never have been within a million miles of any job that carries serious responsibilities - and they know it.

Japanese police arrested a U.S. Navy civilian ship repairman this week on suspicion of attempting to smuggle psychedelic drugs into the country via mail. (from @alexmwilson.bsky.social & @hanakusumoto.bsky.social)

When I was a kid I thought those Sealand people were dumb, but many decades later I'm left wondering if they were onto something.
