I'm crying Iran actually regime-changed America

Can we all finally agree that Keir Starmer is without doubt the worst Prime Minister the UK has ever had?

Yeah, the fact that blue states/cities are so expensive is, to some extent, itself proof that, on balance, they’re well-governed. Even a restricted supply wouldn’t result in sky-high prices if people didn’t want to live here.

Two new accounts have surfaced -- both from left-wingers -- that corroborate my Oct. report that Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner was a key member of the Maine Socialist Rifle Association. Platner would have been offering firearms instruction to far left political extremists at the same time Maine Democrats were passing a ban on paramilitary training. open.substack.com/pub/robins…

Most of those bemoaning what Trump is doing to the “people’s house” are elites who have utter contempt for the “people” (who love motocross and UFC). If you’re going to sniff your nose at the proletariat don’t invoke the sanctity of the “people’s house” - you look ridiculous

NEWS — Trump announces DNI nominee: Jay Clayton. Current U.S. attorney for SDNY & former SEC chair … just as the Senate is leaving town for the week.

It’s really very simple. If a whole bunch of Americans think that the existing process is illegitimate, then it actually is illegitimate. That’s how this stuff works. You don’t get to decide that it’s not illegitimate, because you know that there’s a perfectly good explanation for all of it and therefore nobody should really care. If they care, then they care. And if people care, then it’s illegitimate. That’s actually just true by definition. The people who think it’s illegitimate are basically correct by definition. If a bunch of people in your country think that your election system is illegitimate, then it is illegitimate. That’s what illegitimate means in this context.

Now that Platner has won the primary, I want to be clear. When I said “vote blue no matter who” in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I meant it. I’m worried about Platner, but if you say “vote blue no matter who” in Maine, I hope you’ll extend the same courtesy to other Dems. I hope we beat Collins.

The global secondhand clothing trade moves millions of used garments from North America and Europe to markets throughout Africa, Asia, and the Middle East each year. By the time many of these items reach their final destination, the original cultural, historical, or political significance of the designs they carry is often unknown to the people wearing them. In 2002, Afghanistan was emerging from decades of upheaval, including the Soviet-Afghan War, years of civil conflict, and Taliban rule. Imported and donated goods played an important role in the economy, and secondhand clothing was commonly sold in local markets. The Confederate battle flag originated during the American Civil War (1861–1865) as a military banner used by several Confederate Army units. In the years that followed, it became linked to Southern identity, but it was also adopted by segregationist movements during the 20th century, making it one of the most controversial symbols in American history. The scale of the secondhand clothing industry is immense. The United States exports hundreds of millions of pounds of used clothing every year, with many garments passing through multiple countries and distributors before eventually being purchased by consumers thousands of miles from where they were first sold.

The Republican budget did this. "Anew state report found that 13 of Virginia’s 36 rural hospitals are at risk of closing, including the New River Valley's Carilion Giles Community Hospital and LewisGale Hospital Pulaski."
