Who ever could have predicted that a 73-year-old with a career record of 83-104 without Tom Brady wouldn't be able to reach a bunch of 18-22 year old college kids at a well-known basketball school?

The U.S. was never close to "winning" in Vietnam. South Vietnam was on the defensive the entire war. Hanoi had the best air defenses in the world and was virtually unassailable. The Thieu govt in Saigon was notoriously corrupt and unpopular and would never have lasted. This is an old man's fantasy.

ICE is not mentioned in One Battle After Another, and the only real violence the leftist revolutionaries in the film commit against people is Perfidia shooting the security guard during the bank robbery, which is pretty clearly portrayed as a bad thing that leads to the destruction of the group.

NEW: Reuters took a closer look at violent crime in D.C. after President Trump began a show of force here. Despite the big investment of federal resources, it's really hard at this point to see any dramatic changes. www.reuters.com/world/us/did...

This is how they're going to excuse the crime rate going up under Trump's presidency (again) - it's not that they're actively destroying society in the name of persecuting Latinos, it's "left wing terrorism".

The right outcome. 30 years was an absolutely insane request for someone with obvious mental health issues, no criminal record, who never harmed anyone, and who walked away, called the police, and turned themselves in.

Vindictive/selective prosecution motions are virtually impossible to win because the standard is almost unfathomably high. For a judge to make even a preliminary finding that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has met that burden is a seismic "F you" to DOJ.

123 days after Jonathan Joss's murder, and the State of Texas still has not indicted his killer, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez. He remains free on bond on partial house arrest.

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor, pleads guilty to sexually abusing a child www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Another embarrassment for Trump's Justice Department, as a Virgin Islands jury deadlocks in the murder trial of Enock Cole and Jiovoni Smith for a robbery/homicide on St. Croix in 2018. Mistrials happen, but DOJ tried to seek the death penalty in this case as recently as July.

And absolutely zero of those Republicans will cross over to vote for him because of negative polarization. No one has ever been as cooked as John Fetterman is in 2028.

Same judge who "apologized" to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh a few weeks ago for not treating shadow dockets orders as precedential, which now feels more like it was mockery than anything else.

New Justice Dept. report finds that the rate of violent crime victimization in the U.S. in 2024 was largely unchanged from the previous two years, and the same as it was in 2018 and 2013. bjs.ojp.gov/library/publ...

Big congratulations to everyone who insisted that Republicans had moved on and accepted gay marriage as they argue to the Supreme Court that conversion therapy (a polite euphemism for torture and child abuse) is protected speech under the Furst Amendment.

One nitpick: call it "tyranny", not "authoritarianism." Tyranny is what it is, and it's a term that people more readily understand.

It's not just the mass layoffs of federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents, or the cataclysmic diversion of resources to ICE from other agencies. It's that they are training an entire new generation of law enforcement officers who only know how to kidnap moms and dads at Home Depot.

For real life experience, Emma Watson should really listen to the the aging billionaire who spends her days locked in a decaying mansion with black mold covering the walls, when she's not holed up on her 300-foot superyacht off the coast of Alaska.

Yeah sure just wear whatever man, who cares

Some of the negative reactions to this number are crazy. $48 million for a nearly 3 hour, R rated, overtly political thriller/satire directed by Paul Thomas Anderson is as good as can realistically be expected in 2025. Plus it will benefit from good word of mouth.

Tigers blew a 15 1/2 game lead over Cleveland, including going 9-22 after August 23.

The whole exchange between Cruz and Comey is so bizarre in hindsight that I can only assume Cruz was asking Comey to incorporate his prior testimony specifically for the purpose of extending the statute of limitations.

The Inspector General concluded last year that there were, in fact, zero undercover FBI agents at the Capitol on Jan. 6. oig.justice.gov/news/doj-oig...

From Fergus Bordewich's excellent Klan War: Ulysses S. Grant and the Battle to Save Reconstruction - yes, Grant did crush the Klan by deploying troops, but then he pardoned many of them in 1874 in a failed attempt to stave off disaster in the congressional midterms. You don't often hear that part.

Alternate titles for Tim Curry's forthcoming memoir: -Toxic Love -Professional Pirate -Regrets of Maturity -Traveling the World, Doing Good -Don't Dream It, Be It

Looking back, the only thing Hillary Clinton was wrong about in the "basket of deplorables" speech was that it was way more than half.

Ken Starr represented Epstein in 2007-08 when he secured the original nonprosecution agreement from Alex Acosta, so it would make sense that his name is in the Epstein files in lots of places.

One Battle After Another is going to be this year's "good movie that gets oversold by the hype." Loved that it unflinchingly confronted the evils of the Trump admin head on from the first frame, but it goes on way too long, and by the time it's done it seemed to lose interest in those ideas.

I'm glad that Amy are her friends are meeting the lowest possible standard they could set for themselves. "We are engaged in a legal enterprise" - as opposed to what? Blindfolding yourself and throwing knives at law clerks tied to the wall? The Dred Scott court was "engaged in a legal enterprise."

Some strange people on this website.

I'm sorry that Comey and his family have to go through this sham prosecution, but the credibility of Trump's Justice Department needs to be destroyed, and this will only make that happen faster.

Monday: "Legalize comedy!" Tuesday: "How dare you people make jokes about the murder of Charlie Kirk. You should be doxxed, censored, fired, ostracized, made homeless." Wednesday: "The FCC Commissioner made a joke on social media. Get over it, snowflakes, it's a joke!"

It's crazy that the last movie Emma Watson was in was Greta Gerwig's Little Women all the way back in 2019.

Ryan Routh's case went to trial in less than a year after his failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump, despite an obviously mentally ill defendant insisting on representing himself. Eileen Cannon can move cases when she wants to.

Literally just a serial sexual predator who rode on Jeffrey Epstein's pedo plane mocking the very idea of taking sexual assault and harassment claims seriously.

Sydney Sweeney not listed but I'm sure it's a coincidence, her invitation got lost in the mail

Rufo et al. couldn't name a single bill Nixon signed to save their lives. If they know anything about him, it's that he was corrupt and viewed public service as purely transactional means as enhancing his own power. And that's what they like.

It is honestly impressive how Stephen Miller manages to never have even the slightest glimmer of a human personality. Every single thing he says is pure distilled keyboard warrior, "we must exterminate all the brutes" slop.

30 years is totally insane for someone who walked away before anyone was ever in danger, called the police, and turned themselves in.

Canceled my Disney+ subscription. My only regret is that now I won't be able to watch the absolute classic Three Musketeers from 1993 with Tim Curry.

AFTER HOURS 40th anniv. viewing. My god I loved this. Manic, farcical, claustrophobic, hilarious, tense, set firmly in a distinct time and place of mid-80s SoHo but everything is juuussst off enough that it feels like a dream. Every single character a "that guy!" A total gem.

The NYT has absolutely bent over backwards to appease this government and Republicans in general and this is what they get for their trouble. There is no accommodation, no compromise, no triangulation any press outlet can offer fascists when the goal of fascism is to destroy the free press.

People need to see this on a map to understand how wild the claim it is that the drugs were imminently on their way to the US, requiring the killing of everyone on board. The first boat was heading to Trinidad and Tobago and never made it within 1,500 miles of the continental United States!

Note the weasel words employed here. Leftists are more likely to "defend" and "celebrate" political violence - two things that are totally unquantifiable. Who's more likely to *commit* it, JD?

No responsible prosecutor would ever seek the death penalty in a case like Luigi Mangione's. No criminal history, single adult victim, not a public official, not especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel, really no other aggravating factors. No jury is sentencing this kid to die.

Cannot emphasize enough that a governor knows absolutely nothing about an ongoing criminal investigation. He isn't in the DA's office, hasn't seen the evidence, and anything he's told is being filtered through 8 different public information officers and dumbed down for media consumption.

I saw a judge post this on Facebook once. They'd been on the bench for 28 years.

Good. I hope that Koreans pull every last dollar out of the U.S. economy and leave this closed, backwards, nativist, violent, reactionary country to wallow in a 30 year depression. This country needs to suffer the consequences of the evil it is doing.

RABBIT TRAP was more a cool collection of images, sounds, and vibes than an actual coherent narrative, but there was enough mystery and eeriness to it that it kept me interested. 3/5 The Welsh countryside looks like the end of the world.

Getting clowned by Bill Maher is like losing to the Washington Generals. It's time to hang it up, bruh.
