That is what ABC gets for settling with Trump as appeasement.

So, money laundered from a country whose Constitution is based on Sharia Law.

In general, all politicians should be criticized, if not admonished, for taking money from countries that so clearly do not support our views of freedom and human rights.

Lol, you post some truly stupid shit. Amy Klobuchar wouldn't be the 4th wealthiest woman at a Cary elementary PTA meeting, much less the nation. She's worth like $2 million.

I used to think that those people suggesting that Silence was a Russian troll bot were wrong, and that he was just another right-wing human troll trying to stir up shit here. After looking at his patently absurd claims I'm beginning to think that maybe there is something to him being a right-wing AI bot. Few real people, even trolls, would post the easily proven false crap that he does on a regular basis, only to be humiliated and proven totally wrong over and over again. But I'm sure he'll return again in a day or two with yet another ridiculous claim from Jim Bakker's survivalist website or Glenn Beck's Twitter page.

U.S. funding halted Africa’s HIV crisis. Trump’s cuts have forced a reckoning.​

How the abrupt withdrawal of U.S. foreign aid has exposed a devastating downside in one small African country.

Maybe Africa can address the issue with its people? I mean, it's probably been 40-50 years since the AIDS crisis started.
 

Romania could be next to elect a right-wing populist: What to know​

George Simion suggests Romania, a member of the European Union and NATO, should stop aiding Ukraine. Ukraine considers him a national security threat.

“… What kind of country should Romania become? More like MAGA America or Viktor Orban’s Hungary, or something more acceptable to the bureaucrats in Brussels?

Vice President JD Vance has opinions.

The atmosphere grew so chaotic that the constitutional court annulled November’s presidential election over campaign finance violations and an illicit social media campaign stoked by the Russians.

It’s the kind of thing that’s not supposed to happen in the European Union in 2025.

… The contest is between the centrist mayor of Bucharest, 55-year-old Nicusor Dan, a former mathematician and intellectual running as an independent, and the right-wing firebrand nationalist George Simion, 38, who has embraced Donald Trump’s MAGA movement with a Balkan spin — his promise is to “make Romania great again.” …”
 
I thought the video of the Mexican ship hitting the bridge was AI at first. Wild.

Also, the Palm Springs bomber’s information is out there and his online trail is wild. Describes himself as a pro-mortalist, anti-natalist, anti-sex vegan. Basically thinks that existence is defined as suffering so death is more humane than continuing to live (or being born in the first place). Too bad he didn’t just become a Buddhist.
 


“… Staten’s complaint is one of hundreds impacted by a major retreat in the federal government’s decadeslong fight against housing discrimination and segregation, according to interviews with 10 HUD officials. Those federal staffers, along with state officials, attorneys and advocates across the country, described a dismantling of federal fair housing enforcement, which has been slowed, constrained or halted at every step. The investigative process has been hobbled. The agency is withholding discrimination charges that HUD officials say should already have been issued.

Those accused of housing discrimination appear newly emboldened not to cooperate with the agency. And at least 115 federal fair housing cases have been halted or closed entirely since Trump took office, with hundreds more cases in jeopardy, HUD officials estimate. …”

Early ideological returns appear well aligned with the biblical Jesus, not the versions blue eyed Baptist evangelists have fabricated. That’s good.

Also, I’m not confident embarrassing vance is the most strategic political move. Vance has the backbone of one of those car dealership blow-up air dancers; there’s a chance to steer him.

Can you blame Pope Leo? JD Vance murdered the last Pope he spoke with.
