My family and I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump and Norah O’Donnell last night, and we were shocked. Seeing a president speak to a woman journalist with that level of contempt — and a clear allergy to facts — is disturbing, though at this point not unexpected given his pattern of behavior. But that is the problem. Because when that level of disrespect from the highest office in the country repeats itself, it starts to trickle down into our culture and define what power looks like, shaping how boys and plenty of men see women and girls and what they come to accept as normal behavior.

@maddenifico Yeah, BILL, because in PLAIN VIEW, the left ARE those things. They can be seen, they are documented.

Dear Republicans, please spare us your misguided righteous indignation about how the rhetoric of people on the left incites violence. Never in American history has there been a president who is more inciteful of violence than Trump.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

We were there front and center. That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government. After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.

NWS/NOAA official position: Model performance has not been impacted by launch schedule changes. They evaluate this regularly and see no degradation. Local offices noted the environment was “volatile” but low-probability for tornadoes. • Broader context: Staffing issues led to operational shifts (deferring to day shift), not total elimination of the program. Private alternatives and other data sources (satellites, radar, surface obs) exist. Similar concerns arose in prior 2025 events, but direct causation for any single storm is hard to prove—tornado forecasting has inherent uncertainty, especially in “high-impact, low-probability” setups. Fairness Assessment • Not fair: It presents a direct cause-effect (“got surprised… because of that choice… you are less safe”) as settled fact, which aligns with Democratic critics (e.g., Rep. Sharice Davids demanding answers) and left-leaning outlets emphasizing “DOGE cuts endanger lives.” It downplays NWS denials, model resilience, and that NWS managers made the launch priority calls amid constraints. Efficiency efforts aimed at bloat/redundancy; weather services have faced scrutiny for costs before. No fatalities/injuries were major here, and warnings still worked once storms formed. This is classic advocacy journalism on a politicized topic: real data gaps from policy choices exist, but the “you’re less safe” alarm ties complex forecasting limits to one administration’s cuts without full nuance or counter-evidence. Ongoing scrutiny (Congress, meteorologists) is warranted regardless of politics.

@KeithOlbermann So there it is. You are flat out saying that a journalist shouldn’t be unbiased and report what happens, but rather should be a political influencer. Your reputation is henceforth trash Keith.

Once again: if you are attending tomorrow's Correspondents Dinner and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American.. You are neither a journalist nor an American STAND FOR SOMETHING

@amilleraz0 Besides not doing those things, ask his daughter if he should have a clear conscience.

Biden didn't destroy the Rose Garden. He rebuilt the economy, created over 15 million jobs, cut the deficit, lowered insulin costs, and passed historic climate & infrastructure bills. His conscience is clear and so is his record. Do you agree with me? Yes Or No

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States. Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

How much are you paying for homeowners insurance? Hurricanes cause significantly more home loss (in terms of total homes damaged or destroyed and overall property damage) than tornadoes. Key Data Comparison (Primarily US-Focused, as That’s Where Most Impacts Occur) • Economic/property damage (a strong proxy for home losses, as it includes residential structures): • Tropical cyclones/hurricanes: By far the leading cause. Since 1980–2024, they account for ~$1.5 trillion+ in total damages (CPI-adjusted), with an average of ~$23 billion per event. Individual major hurricanes (e.g., Katrina, Ian, Harvey) can destroy or damage tens to hundreds of thousands of homes via wind, storm surge, and flooding. • Tornadoes/severe storms: Much lower. Tornadoes cause roughly 1/10th the annual damage of hurricanes on average. Hurricanes impact far larger areas (tens of miles wide, lasting hours to days) and combine wind, flooding, and surge, leading to widespread home destruction or major damage. Millions of homes are in hurricane-prone zones, with single events risking billions in reconstruction. Over 60 years living in Tornado Ally I’ve never been negatively affected by a tornado. Can you say the same about hurricanes?

@MichaelGilliha3 @specialopsmag @rawsalerts 😂 that’s bullshit. I live in Florida, been here for 40 years. I would NEVER live in tornado alley. We many DAYS to prepare or evacuate before a hurricane, unlike tornadoes.

For most homeowners in Illinois, property taxes is their single highest monthly bill, often eclipsing their mortgage payment. For a similar home, ONE MONTH of my property tax in Illinois exceeds what I was paying in Missouri. And now it increases even more so you can TRY to keep a sports team in Illinois? Thanks JB!
