They’ve recovered the Weapons Systems Officer. It wasn’t easy, but they got it done. Outstanding.

Many people mistakenly think that the main battles in society are between the haves and the have-nots. But what’s really happening is that the haves are trying to seize money, resources, and status from the have-mores—and they disguise this motive as concern for the have-nots. You even saw this recently in New York, where Mamdani failed to win over poor and working-class voters. But he did win support from the upper-middle class. Then, when you move to the very top of the income scale, the dynamic flips again—the wealthiest New Yorkers were more likely to back someone like Cuomo. So a lot of these political battles, especially around socialism, aren’t being driven by the poor. They’re being driven by people who are doing well, but who are angry they’re not at the very top. It’s less about the 99% versus the 1%, and more about the 9% versus the 1%. The bottom 90% aren’t really part of that fight. I’m reading We Have Never Been Woke by sociologist Musa al-Gharbi, and he makes a similar point. He notes that during the Occupy Wall Street protests in the early 2010s, most of the participants were white, college-educated, upper-middle-class people—people who were objectively doing fine, but were upset they were in the top 10% instead of the top 1%.

These cases illustrate how utterly shot the US asylum process is. These were children of regime leaders claiming to be oppressed by that same regime - and going back for visits. Yet they got asylum, LPR, and damn near citizenship.

Swalwell uses campaign cash to pay his wife for watching their children???? wtf

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

Temporary Protected Status is exactly that: Temporary TPS was created to be an accommodation for extraordinary short-term circumstances—not a decades-long loophole for permanent residency.

$1.84/L = $7.16 per gallon ($5.14 USD). On behalf of Canada, just wanna say: great job Donald Trump, you fucking piece of shit.

“With everything we do, we are undercutting the laws of war,” says former NSC official Gary Sick. At 91, he reflects, “I would never have believed that we would find ourselves in the position that we’re in, as the rogue nation in the world.”

A teen cousin showed me this in her AP American Government book. Trump is similar ideologically to Hitler and Bernie Sanders is a touch off the center to the left.

Isn’t she an oncologist or something? Are we losing so badly we need to arrest the distant relatives of long-since-dead Iranian commanders?
