A cross where Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass during his visit to Poland in 1979 was set on fire by Muslims today.

Not even that I was a single mom two kids in college. Never received a dime of child support. financial aid ZERO. Guess I made too much, might seem like a lot but when you live in Orange County CA it isn’t much at all! But I digress somehow I managed to get them through school my youngest is graduating college early and has one semester left I have one more payment of $1750!!! It makes you feel great when you are able to do it on your own but it’s bullshit that they reward people for being losers.

We all are learning FAFSA: the only government form that looks at your stable two-parent household, solid income, and responsible life choices and says, “Sorry, you succeeded too hard—try being a felon next time.” Meanwhile, the border-crossing foster care speedrun gets the platinum scholarship package. American Dream? More like American Participation Trophy for the least functional families. Watched too many of these in my university classes and most couldn’t pass the assignments.

@FarazPervaiz3 Muslims don't seem to like Christianity, but we are told that diversity is our strength?

Muslims think by attacking our churches, by burning down our monuments they're hurting us, they're just proving how monstrous they really are, we're Christians we believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior, we've been persecuted from the very beginning, from the Jews to the Romans to the Muslims this is nothing new for us. Burn down a million of our monuments, we'll build 10 million more bigger stronger better, you're not going to make us doubt our face or living fear. The Romans burnt Us alive, Or fed us to lions, we've been murdered, raped, martyred for 2,000 years, this isn't going to break us, it's just going to piss us off, and then you'll understand what crusade means.

@FarazPervaiz3 And this is what worldwide media in Europe does. Have no idea what the cause of the fire is, but rest assured this headline will be all anyone remembers. There will be no follow-up investigation. Even Poland is not safe.

"It is a joke. The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it. These guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went and they thought they figured the f---ing game out. They don't know s---. A bunch of f---ing nerds running the game. You can't slide into second base. You can't take out the f---ing catcher because Posey was in the wrong position and they are going to change all the rules. You can't pitch inside anymore. I'd like to knock some of these f---ers on their ass. Ryan Braun is a f---ing steroid user. He gets a standing ovation on Opening Day in Milwaukee. How do you explain that to your kid after throwing people under the bus and lying through his f---ing teeth? They don't have anyone passing the f---ing torch to these people. If I had acted like that, you don't go in that f---ing dugout. There are going to be 20 f---ing guys waiting for you." Goose Gossage. Baseball Ambassador. Legend!

"woman stabbed then attacked with bleach by her roommate in nicetown, police say" By Grand Rapids Anonymous/Synonymous wednesday, april 1, 2026 6:00PM ET "woman stabbed then attacked with bleach by her roommate in nicetown, police say" (GRS: nigtown is much more accurate.) "philadelphia (wpvi) -- police say a violent confrontation between two roommates early wednesday left a 19-year-old woman critically injured after she was doused with bleach and stabbed multiple times. [N.S.: English version: a violent attack by one woman on her roommate...] "capt. John Craig of northwest detectives described the scene as officers arrived on the 4200 block of Hicks street just before 2 a.m. 'this was a very brutal scene. this victim is fortunate to be alive, frankly,' he said. according to investigators, the 19-year-old was stabbed in the neck and back and was gravely wounded. police say her 26-year-old roommate attacked her during an argument that escalated quickly." GRS: Trying to make her roommate White for some bizarre reason. No names yet, but the perp is a genuine nutjob. Only blacks go this crazy during an “argument”--mex to a slightly lesser degree. --GRS

In January 1976, Carol Burnett went out for a quiet dinner in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. She shared a few glasses of wine with her husband and friends, laughed, chatted, and even offered tastes of her dessert to nearby diners—a small, generous moment. On her way out, she was briefly introduced to Henry Kissinger. They exchanged a few polite words, and the evening ended without incident. That was all that happened. But weeks later, millions of Americans read a very different version. The National Enquirer published a short story portraying Burnett as loud, intoxicated, and disruptive. It claimed she had argued with Kissinger, spilled wine on another guest, and laughed it off. The account was brief—but entirely fabricated. What readers didn’t know was that the paper’s own source had never described anything like that. In fact, he had explicitly said she wasn’t drunk. Attempts to verify the story turned up nothing. Still, the tabloid ran it. When Burnett saw the article, it hit deeply. Both of her parents had struggled with alcoholism, and she had long spoken openly about it—not for sympathy, but to help others. Now, a false story had publicly tied her to something she had spent years addressing with honesty and care. The impact was immediate. Strangers began treating her differently. Comments were made. Assumptions spread. A story that wasn’t true had taken on a life of its own. When she consulted her lawyers, they warned her: taking on a publication like the Enquirer would be costly, difficult, and likely unsuccessful. The paper had a reputation for outlasting anyone who challenged it. She chose to move forward anyway. In court, the details emerged piece by piece—the unreliable sourcing, the lack of verification, the decision to publish regardless. After hours of deliberation, the jury reached its conclusion: the tabloid had acted with reckless disregard for the truth. The verdict came in 1981. Burnett was awarded damages, marking a rare and significant win in a case against a major tabloid. Though the final settlement changed over time, the impact of the decision didn’t. For many, it signaled something important—that even public figures have a right to defend the truth about themselves. Burnett later made it clear that the case was never about money. What mattered to her was something more lasting: how her story would be remembered. Because once something is printed, it doesn’t just disappear. It lingers—in records, in archives, in memory. She wasn’t just challenging a lie in the present. She was protecting the truth for the future.
