For what it's worth, I think America should cancel its alliance with Israel, which is obviously a bad and unhelpful ally. But unlike leftists and rightists, I don't actually think canceling it will fix any of our fundamental problems, or help people in Gaza.

Once again, the best college hoops teams prove there's nothing like March Madness to get our jaws dropping, our hearts racing, and our brackets busting. Congratulations to the Bruins and the Wolverines!

Drop Site News reports on breaking events with clear sourcing and careful attribution, distinguishing between verified information and claims made by governments or state-linked outlets. In the post at issue (linked below), the information was explicitly identified as coming from Iranian state-linked media and framed as a claim, consistent with our standard editorial practice. Our coverage applies the same approach across all actors, including the United States, Israel, and Iran. In fast-moving conflicts, competing narratives are part of the story, and documenting what each side is saying is essential to understanding how events are being framed and interpreted in real time. As Drop Site reporter Ryan Grim wrote, “anybody who reads our Twitter feed knows that we regularly report official and semi-official statements… Our readers have enough sense not to believe everything every government says, but they do want to know what they’re saying in real time. Other readers, those not interested in knowing what governments adversarial to the U.S. are saying, have endless options to choose from, but we’re not one of them.” We do not limit our reporting to Western or allied sources. Providing visibility into claims made by all sides, with proper attribution, is a core part of our editorial approach. Regarding the reporting at issue, some have accused Drop Site of “promoting” Iranian propaganda for noting that U.S. forces were reportedly bombing areas where a missing airman was believed to be located. That element of the reporting, which we were among the first to surface, was later borne out by subsequent disclosures. Prior to that, we also reported information from journalist Jack Murphy—a U.S. military veteran—who said the recovery had been successful, with clear attribution. Our role is to provide audiences with the information needed to assess developments as they unfold. We do not withhold information from our audience merely because it comes from a source adversarial to the U.S. government, nor do we tell readers what to think.

if you didn’t vote for the democrats in the last election because “both sides were the same”, why are you now on twitter wailing for the democrats to save you from the current administration lol

This is an extremely sick person. Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is.

One problem for Democrats is that left-wing people pretend they aren’t doing stuff that they are in fact doing in order to further fuel the flames of anti-establishment sentiment.

Glenn, Iran killed 45,000 of its own people for protesting. You are angrier about a Trump Tweet than Iran mass murdering its own people.
