Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. Just wanted to put that out there.

She looks like an AI version of a Stepford Wife.

UNDISGUISED CYNICISM FROM ACROSS THE OCEAN Listen to what he’s spewing. He’s now openly expressing regret that the war didn’t end right when it began—with a Russian victory. “We helped them with Ukraine. You know, they made a total mess in Ukraine—just complete chaos. And we helped them with Ukraine. Ukraine has nothing to do with us—you understand, we’re separated by an ocean. It’s their issue. For them, it’s basically their own doorstep. We helped them. Biden gave them $350 billion—it was just madness. And that’s one of the reasons the war dragged on.” When helping a victim is called a “mistake,” listening to this is like watching someone wipe their feet on the flag of democracy while trying to look like the “voice of reason.” This isn’t just political rhetoric—it’s distilled, repulsive cynicism mixed with a complete lack of empathy and strategic thinking. 1. “The war dragged on!” Did he seriously say that? The most vile idea in this monologue is the suggestion that helping Ukraine is “madness” because it prevents the war from ending. Let’s call things by their name: behind these words is regret that Ukraine didn’t collapse in three days. For the author of these words, the quick death of an entire nation is “efficiency,” while resistance against an aggressor is “prolonging.” That’s the logic of a looter: why help the victim when you can let the rapist finish faster so everyone can “calm down”? 2. Geography as an excuse for cowardice? “We’re separated by an ocean”—this argument smells like 1930s isolationism. Has history taught nothing? The ocean didn’t save anyone from Pearl Harbor, and it won’t save anyone from global chaos if dictators are allowed to redraw borders by force. To claim that Ukraine “has nothing to do with us” is to sign your own ignorance. This isn’t just “their doorstep”—it’s the doorstep of the civilized world, which the U.S. likes to consider itself a part of. If your neighbor’s doorstep is on fire, your house is next—no matter how many gallons of “ocean” you think you have. 3. “Chaos” and devaluation Calling the tragedy of a nation fighting for survival a “total mess” or “chaos” is the height of arrogance. This is not “chaos”—it is a war of annihilation launched by an aggressor. Blaming the victim—or those helping them—for creating chaos is like blaming firefighters for soaking the furniture while putting out a fire. 4. The price of freedom vs. the price of dollars Manipulating figures about “$350 billion” (which are significantly exaggerated) is a cheap trick aimed at voters who don’t want to look beyond their own pockets. No amount of dollars compares to the price of human lives being given every day so that this “chaos” doesn’t reach the doors of those same comfortable critics. Dear friends, this is not the speech of a leader of the free world, but of a moral degenerate—a bean-counting capitulationist. This rhetoric encourages the aggressor, betrays allies, and puts up for auction the very principles on which Western civilization was built. It’s painful to read. Shameful. Disgusting. And extremely dangerous.

So much for that American exceptionalism, but you just keep on voting against your own interests MAGA.

Trump had another late night meltdown on social media last night and posted this: 11:03 PM - AI photo of him, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and more swimming shirtless in the reflecting pool in DC (I’m serious) 11:04 PM - Photo of Melania creepily smiling after the WHCD shooting 11:13 PM - Calls Hakeem Jeffries “low IQ” and a “thug” 11:15 PM - Meme saying he has “all the cards” (which he does not) 11:22 PM - A gold outline of his face 11:26 PM - His face on Mount Rushmore 11:32 PM - Photo of him and Melania 11:37 PM - Photo of him and King Charles 11:40 PM - Photo of the reflecting pool under Obama vs his proposal 11:41 PM - Another photo of the reflecting pool 11:45 PM - Yet another photo of the reflecting pool All of this took place in under an hour. This man is not well.

It's an abomination of filmmaking, let alone a Star Wars film. 1. It didn't challenge the saga, it's a shittier Empire. 2. Emotional Narratives? I don't even know what he's referring to. 3. Visuals, ok. Ooh wow, look at the colors. 4. Slowest high-speed chase ended by a suicide move that made previous canon irrelevant. If you could just jump into things and destroy them, why not do that to the death stars with a droid at the helm? 5. Fin and Rose's side quest was retarded. Yes, while we're on this super critical mission, let's illegally park our ship on the fucking resort beach. 6. Haldo not keeping Poe in the loop made things way worse than they needed to be just so she could be a girlboss. 7. Luke 8. Marry Poppins in space. 9. Rose somehow turning around and then catching up with Fin who had been going petal to the metal in the opposite direction, only to deliberately crash into him at high-speed in order to "save" him? Seriously what the fuck was that? 10. Rose: Don't kill what you hate, protect what you love? STFU! You just tried to kill your crush you moron, and in so doing robbed us of what would have been the most emotionally significant scene of the movie. Whore. 11. Luke 12. Snoke being a nothing burger. And the list goes on.

People have forgotten that the war was started because of a supposed imminent Iranian attack. Then it turned into Israel was gonna attack Iran, so the U.S. had to join in the attack because it would eventually get attacked. Now it's all about reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

@jondelarroz Preach!🙌

It's the 35th anniversary of Heir to the Empire today. Timothy Zahn created the TRUE Star Wars sequel, and I don't care what Disney says is or isn't canon. This is what happened in episodes 7, 8, and 9, not their slop. Do you agree?

He was going for New York? All this proves is that Donald Trump is so lazy he couldn't even be bothered to watch Ken Burns' "The Civil War".

@Whofan70 @TheWho Greatest live rock band of all time!

I absolutely LOVE this band. Became a fan as a 12 year old. Now 56 and I’m not shy in saying I love this band. #TheWho @TheWho

The worst part isn’t that Trump is out of his fucking mind. It’s that everyone around him is too weak and too cowardly to rein him in. If you ever wondered how Hitler got as far as he did, you have your answer.

How long will it take before European leaders understand that Trump is fundamentally incapable of sticking to a deal, that he'll just randomly violate it whenever he feels like it and that he won't behave until we push back and make him pay a price for this kind of shit?

WHO DID THIS???🤣🤣🤣

How Disney can save the Star Wars franchise in two simple steps: 1) Declare that Kathleen Kennedy's sequel trilogy is non-cannon. 2) Replace it with Timothy Zahn's trilogy.

I loved the Death Probe episodes! I have to admit though, it does look like a Dalek on steroids.😂

@fandompulse Yup.

Star Wars: Heir To The Empire by Timothy Zahn was released 25 years ago. Was this the sequel trilogy that Star Wars fans deserved and never got on screen?

Ned Beatty in Network. Beatty did one day's work on this film and walked away with an Oscar nomination. This is one of the most brilliant scenes ever filmed: youtube.com/watch?v=yuBe93…

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Seriously, modern movies cannot stand up to this masterpiece. No way.

@sw_holocron This will always be for me the true post-ROTJ sequel. Zahn hit it out of the ballpark by introducing incredible new characters like Grand Admiral Thrawn, Joruus C'Baoth, Talon Karrde, Captain Palleon, and of course Mara Jade.

On this day 35 years ago, HEIR TO THE EMPIRE was released
