@LabRetort @nicksortor Make me.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump alludes to possibly appointing Ron DeSantis to a CABINET POSITION “I like him a lot!” I’m ALL for this. Ron DeSantis is one of the best executives in America, and his term is up in just months.

@FlyGuyInTheSky @Microinteracti1 There would be peace if Russia and USA joined forces.

@Microinteracti1 It’s really hard to believe Trump’s not a Russian as he keeps on playing on their team. Sorry but there are countless examples where he’s done something to help and not done something to help. Trump acts like a Russia asset.

Germany is not hosting American troops. It is hosting American power. Amplifying it. Projecting it across three continents. And now, for the first time with real legal and political weight behind it, voices inside Germany are beginning to say out loud: Berlin could shut down every American base on German soil. A fiber-optic cable runs beneath Ramstein Air Base. It carries a signal from a drone pilot in Nevada to an armed aircraft over Yemen. Fraction of a second. Precision. Control. That cable sits on German soil. Cut it, and the strikes do not miss. They simply cannot happen. This week Washington punished Berlin for telling the truth about the Iran war. Five thousand troops withdrawn. A presidential post calling Germany a failure. The language of a tenant who has forgotten whose name is on the deed. Because Berlin can end all of it. Not the 5,000. All 36,436. Every soldier, every satellite dish, every signal passing through German soil on its way to a target over Africa or the Middle East. Spain tore it up. Italy said no. Germany has not moved yet. But it is thinking about it. And what it is thinking about is this: Germany holds the one thing that separates America from every other country on earth. The ability to project military force across three continents simultaneously. Take away the European staging ground and the United States becomes what every other nation in the Western Hemisphere already is. Large. Armed. And unable to reach anyone who does not live next door. open.substack.com/pub/gandalv/p/…

@Microinteracti1 @bucklessbob Meet the new US.

@bucklessbob Today the US as we know it, is over.

@Intreasting @Microinteracti1 Guest should go home when they are not wanted. As an American I would like our people to come home and send back the guest in America to their homes. No proverb needed.

@Microinteracti1 "A guest should never forget that he is not the host." — Old European Proverb

@Microinteracti1 Why does it matter that america is a global power. Let Russia be a global power and let Europe deal with it . Perhaps they can write strongly worded regulation

@ChiefEngineerCE @DreamAmerica_ Founding fathers abhored pure democracy. After French revolution, democaritc majority even killed the layer of Louis XVI. Hamilton and Madison, Federalist No. 18 pure democracy as historical warning.

@DreamAmerica_ Then Trump would be president.

PETE BUTTIGIEG: "What if we selected our President by letting the person who got the most votes take the office, instead of the Electoral College?"

@RadioGenoa That is why she is moving to left

Giorgia Meloni's government is the second-longest in history, not because of its merits, but because the left-wing coalition is unsustainable in Italy. In 2022, she received over 26% of the vote; in the 2027 elections, she won't even reach 10%. You reap what you sow.

@afneil BTW, let Putin have Europe

Good luck continuing to wage your war against Iran without your German bases. Well nigh impossible. US troops aren’t in Germany to protect Germans. They’ve been there to project US power. Bye bye.

@0hour1 @variable_spice He did not get preferential treatment that democrats would have

🥴

@Elizabe95428210 @NBCSports They had to show grown men throwing round balls at each other

@NBCSports Hey NBC how about showing Golden Temple getting his Roses. He won the race does he not deserve a few seconds. I would have like to see more oh him.

FROM LAST PLACE TO KENTUCKY DERBY GLORY, WHAT A RACE FOR GOLDEN TEMPO! 🐎 📺 The 152nd Kentucky Derby on NBC and Peacock

@JuiceTheGator @nicksortor calm down and grow up

@nicksortor Meh, you tax-and-spend Epstein losers can eat schitt.

@MosiniElisa And we are for it. Bring out people home President Trump.

Polish PM Tusk: “NATO is disintegrating” Yes, and the responsibility lies with the US. They have threatened us over Greenland, imposed tariffs, and insulted Europe and Ukraine. I’m speaking for myself, but I believe this applies to many European citizens: I don’t trust the US.

@ChiefEngineerCE with out the understanding of "elemental" chemistry you would not get this joke

Dad Joke Saturday Morning...

@Bogeyboy96 @FalkTG As an American I am sad we did not get all 36000+ soldiers and civilian support team and their families home. Let Russia have Europe.

@FalkTG A sad day for Germany? Germany should celebrate 🎉 America should be sad because their empire is shattering because a little orange man got his feelings hurt.

A sad day for Germany 🇩🇪. 5.000 US 🇺🇸 troops will leave my country. They defended us for 7 decades and they never misused their power (unlike the Soviets). They acted disciplined and friendly. They taught us a lot. The U.S. is like a big brother for Germany. But the U.S. administration is right: Germany can stand on its own feed nowadays. The U.S. needs its resources to deter China 🇨🇳. And one day, when we Europeans are strong enough we will do so as well. Thank you American soldiers for your service for liberty and peace in Europe. 🇩🇪 🇺🇸🇪🇺

@OwenGregorian Do they do this to white people, and are the doctors Indian. It may be a racial thing.

Canadian Doctors Try to Railroad Catholic Priest into 'Assisted Suicide' Over Broken Hip | Frank Bergman, Slay News A Canadian Catholic priest is sounding the alarm after doctors tried to pressure him into “assisted suicide” twice while recovering from a broken hip in a hospital, despite him telling them that euthanasia goes against his beliefs. Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was horrified that Canadian government-sanctioned doctors attempted to railroad him into being euthanized, despite not being terminally ill. The priest’s alarming story underscores growing concerns that Canada’s state-sanctioned assisted suicide program is spiraling far beyond its original limits. Holland said he was “very shocked” after medical pushed so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) as an “option” during his recovery from a hip fracture. Priest Offered Death While Recovering, Not Dying Holland broke his hip after falling on Christmas Day. He is currently recovering at Vancouver General Hospital. Holland emphasized that he was not dying at the time and had not been given a terminal diagnosis. “There are some things you just don’t talk about to some people,” Holland said. “I think I was very shocked.” According to Holland, a doctor first introduced assisted suicide as an option if his recovery were to decline. Even after he made clear his moral opposition, the topic was pushed again weeks later, even though he was recovering. This time, a nurse described it as an act of “compassion,” despite the fact that Holland was perfectly healthy. Holland rejected that characterization outright, calling euthanasia “a false compassion, really.” He also noted the disturbing reality that staff were fully aware he was a Catholic priest when the option was raised. “Temptation” and the Reality of Pressure Holland acknowledged that even being offered euthanasia can create a moment of internal struggle. “I could feel the temptation,” he said. He called the feeling a “human reaction” since “We always look for the easy way out.” But he warned that resisting such pressure ultimately strengthens individuals, adding that suffering can lead to growth and deeper purpose. “It can motivate you, it can open up new worlds, new vistas, new opportunities,” he said. Nevertheless, it’s easy to see how more vulnerable people could be pressured into ending their lives with a state-backed lethal injection. Canada’s Expanding Euthanasia System Under Fire The incident comes as Canada’s euthanasia program has rapidly expanded under the Liberal government, first introduced under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Now under Prime Minister Mark Carney, the program is rapidly sliding down the slippery slope. Since legalization in 2016, assisted suicide has grown dramatically, with Canada now having one of the fastest-expanding euthanasia systems in the world. The program is set to expand even further in 2027 under Bill C-7, allowing euthanasia for individuals suffering solely from mental illness. Critics warn the system has already gone too far, with reports emerging of patients being offered assisted suicide in cases that appear to violate existing safeguards. Church Leaders Sound Alarm on “Coercive” System Father Larry Lynn, the Archdiocese of Vancouver’s pro-life chaplain, described Holland’s experience as deeply disturbing. “This must surely be among the most appalling examples of Canada’s coercive and insensitive euthanasia regime,” Lynn said. He warned that offering assisted suicide—especially to vulnerable patients—crosses a moral line. “It places the medical practitioner into the role of the devil, tempting a vulnerable person into mortal sin,” he said. Lynn also raised concerns about pro-euthanasia organizations attempting to normalize the practice even among religious communities, calling such efforts “diabolical.” Faith-Based Healthcare Under Threat The issue is now spilling into the courts, particularly in British Columbia, where Catholic healthcare providers are fighting to avoid being forced to offer euthanasia services. The outcome of that legal battle could determine whether faith-based institutions are compelled to participate in assisted suicide against their beliefs. Meanwhile, euthanasia has become one of the leading causes of death in Canada, ranking sixth overall, highlighting just how deeply embedded the practice has become. For critics, Holland’s experience is not an isolated incident, but a warning sign of a system that is increasingly prioritizing death over care. slaynews.com/canadian-docto…

@RippleXrpie Only 5K though. Trump needs to up his game. Not real until we withdraw 30K and their families.

🚨IT'S OFFICIAL: 🇩🇪🇺🇸 The United States is withdrawing its troops from Germany after German Chancellor declared that Iran has humiliated the entire American nation.

@amuse @Microinteracti1 Trump us not going far enough. If we left skeleton crew of 5k, Ukraine war would spinn down faster. In a weird way, Trump is bleeding europe dry. Ukraine is sucking billions and now energy going thru the roof. Germany is in trouble. They shut down coal and nuclear

@Microinteracti1 It is time to remove all US troops from Europe.

The US is withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany. So what should Berlin do now? Close the bases. Trump ordered the pullout after Merz told the truth about the Iran war, and a Pentagon official called  the German remarks “inappropriate and unhelpful.” Berlin has the legal right under the 2+4 Treaty to cancel the US deployment agreement , and with Ramstein coordinating drone strikes on Iranian civilians from German soil without German consent, the moral case has never been cleaner. Spain already did it. Madrid blocked US base access for Iran operations and is still standing.  A relationship where you host the army, pay the bills, and get punished for asking questions is not an alliance. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

@OwenGregorian I buy Starbucks roasted coffee and Kpods at Sam's or Costco in large quantities when on sale. I dont get people being upset. Make your own coffee at home.

Starbucks CEO roasted as ‘out of touch’ over defense of $9 coffee: ‘Affordable premium experience’ | Anna Young, New York Post Brew-tally expensive. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol is getting roasted for being “out of touch” after defending the company’s $9 cup of coffee – insisting the steep price reflects a “premium experience” offered to customers. The coffee giant’s chief – who earlier this year was granted access to the company jet for personal travel – said that customers across all income levels are willing and happy to shell out big money for a chance to interact with baristas or score a “great seat” inside the chain. “What we’re seeing is people, you know, they want to have a special experience, and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you’re splurging,” Niccol told The Wall Street Journal’s “What’s News AM” podcast. “And then, what that means is we have to make it worthwhile, right? And then in other cases, people believe, ‘Well this is a really affordable premium experience.’ Because they’re saying like, ‘Well it’s less than $10 and I get a really premium experience,'” he continued. “So, regardless of where you’re stationed in those income cohorts, we want to make that experience worth your while. And what we know is what’s definitely something that drives that value is to be able to have a great seat, having a great moment of connection with a barista.” When podcast host Luke Vargas pressed on whether a “K-shaped” economy – where the wealthy recover while everyone else struggles post-pandemic – was hitting Starbucks‘ bottom line, Niccol said it wasn’t impacting the company’s business or revenue. He even bragged how the coffee chain is “doing really well” with younger generations. “We’re doing really well with Gen Z and millennials, and then really had strong performances across all income cohorts,” Niccol said, adding customers have described Starbucks visits as a form of escapism. “It can start with as little as $3 for a traditional cup of coffee. And then obviously you can build your way into all sorts of customized drinks that people love that move that ticket up…. The way we’re going to play the value game is you’re going to feel like it was worth it.” He insisted customers value the experience over discounts or flashy one-off promotions. Critics ripped into Niccol’s “corporate slop jargon” after a snippet of his interview was posted on the WSJ’s Instagram page Wednesday. “This is a guy who remote works from Orange county and then takes a private jet to work in Seattle. He’s out of touch,” one digital naysayer fumed. Another said: “‘A great moment of connection with your barista.’ Bro just poor the damn coffee.” “When was the last time Starbucks felt like a premium experience,” one person raged, as another queried, “Starbucks is a premium experience?” Others called on customers to “boycott” Starbucks and visit their “local coffee shops.” “So….. bad coffee. bad pricing. great experience justifies an over-specialty price? Shop local bro.” nypost.com/2026/05/01/us-…
