It's kind of disgusting to see the American military tradition destroyed in this way. Over the last 200 years the mightiest empires on earth have fallen before a middle class army of citizen soldiers with initiative and intelligence; is it really going to end with this tedious"warfighter" slop?

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people â never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners â are now dead.

Definitely read the piece below. This man infiltrated and reported on fascist movements for 40 years. His first big project was moving to Chicagoâs Marquette Park in the early 1970s to fight neo-Nazis. It was five years after MLK was hit with a rock in the neighborhood:

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

âAbolish ICEâ is yet another example of the left committing the unpardonable sin of being correct too early - which is to say, exactly when action should have been taken.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:
