Cantora Mari Fernandez se casa com Júlia Ribeiro

I'm not a fan of Brooks, but it's noteworthy that he wrote an article w/ this title. He gets muddled in the middle as he is wont to do, but he does make some good observations. Obviously he's not the one to lead any mass movement nor propose or suggest a leader. Who that should be isn't yet clear.

I hereby nominate Donald J Trump for the International Piss Prize.

Admittedly the English isn’t perfect, but you get the message. Come to think of it, there may be a hidden message there.

Q: Is your tie is red sir? MICKEY JOHNSON: I haven’t had a chance to examine it.

Buena suerte, idiota.

Escandaloso esto.

Il n’y a pas de hijab à la Mission de l’Esprit-Saint, une secte ultra-catholique. Ça fait des décennies qu’on y marie et qu’on y sous-scolarise des adolescentes, mais ça ne semble pas trop énerver notre gouvernement. C’est drôle, hein? www.lapresse.ca/actualites/c...

"the Republican Party stopped working on policy — and started perverting Christianity...Why? Largely because the GOP ran out of ideas that would fly with the American public and was assiduously courting the evangelical and Catholic religious right as a voting bloc." www.salon.com/2025/10/11/w...

Great interview!

Imagine if on their return they are converts to the fact that there was no there there that required military intervention.

An enlightening comparison of the the two men.

Moving. Inspirational.

Le sous-marin d'attaque russe Novorossiysk, en panne depuis fin septembre, repéré tout près des côtes françaises, la Marine Nationale le surveille. Il évolue en surface, au large des côtes bretonnes, et progresse lentement vers le nord. Il est à l'image de la russie, en décrépitude.

Alright. Still don't think that leadership has to be the messenger here, and Chuck should speed up his delivery by 1/4-1/2 speed but...all that said it's a start and pretty clear.

Yes, this is absolutely gross. However IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO RE-POST THIS. FLOOD THE ZONE. Once it's seen, it can't be unseen.

This is a remarkably good article. Read it, especially if you're in the military in any capacity. It's still not clear though what could happen to anybody that objects to an unconstitutional order from the president. Execution?

Yikes. Today in the TIMES. "At the heart of Mr. Hegseth’s vision is an insistence that waging war is fundamentally different from other vocations in society" I think you-know-who (I'm being mindful of Godwin's law here) in the 30s gave "pretty good speeches" too in which similar points were made.

“Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice.”

This clown proclaims am economic miracle while his economics minister is in Washington begging for bailout money from Bessent. A bailout, which you dear taxpayer will have to pay. And non other than @davidfrum.bsky.social thinks this is a good idea. What's he thinking?

Consciousness is the result of a long process pf evolutionary development, Organisms that have some form of consciousness have an advantage over those that don't: They have a dog in the fight: themselves; e.g. hunger isn't a reading on a hungerometer. AI "organisms" (not yet anyway) don't evolve.

In view of the possible meeting between Trump and Lula, the Brazilian government is going cautiously on its proposal for an "Anti-Magnitsky act"

Al paso que vamos, vamos a llegar a los niveles de la dictadura militar argentina de los años 70-80.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Pregnant women should avoid red states and Catholic hospitals. They might kill you. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is a good moment for Christians & Catholics in particular, to reflect (I would hope to reject) doctrinal issues which assume a "soul" w/ a precise moment of appearance in the womb. What has a soul? Does it have a temporal existence? When did humans start having souls? Do primates? Your pet?

CENSURA! Big Techs Meta e Google estão censurando a divulgação do novo documentário original ICL – “Vai pra Argentina, Car*jo!”, que mostra a real situação dos nossos hermanos após as medidas ultraliberais do presidente argentino Javier Milei, a maior fake news do nosso tempo. youtu.be/MCTs76OQ4rc

Once again, retract your silly article Mr Frum.

The Milei rescue package is viewed with great skepticism in Latin America as a desperate POLITICAL effort of the Trump Admin to support a failing right-wing government. Folha: Bessent hopes Milei's part does well in the Oct 26 legislative elections

Ben-Ghiat: The Quantico announcement that Democrat-run “inner cities” would be “training grounds” ... echoes Cold War junta practices in Latin America of sending inexperienced soldiers to do sweeps of very poor neighborhoods. Also known as "La Guerra Sucia" in Argentina.

Retract your silly Atlantic article Mr Frum. Guardian: Mr Bessent admitted the aid was meant to prop up Mr Milei after his La Libertad Avanza (Freedom Advances) party lost decisively in a key election last month. But no terms have been confirmed.

OK David Frum, before going out and blabbering about your favorite Latin American nutjob, read this..

A Brazilian (the director of IMPA) in Beijing.

Baloney. No he didn't. Milei is just as corrupt as the rest of them. No bailouts. Frum is clueless about Latin America.

Whoa, Mr. Bowtie Cohen unleashed. An no chestful of tattoos, no open bottle of tequila and without mouthing words like warfighter and lethality.
