Putin: NATO started the war. It wasn't Russia who started the special military operation. His lies are getting more and more delusional. "Russia is standing alone against the entire collective West, represented by the well-known North Atlantic bloc - NATO. All NATO countries are intensifying their efforts and doing everything possible to organize these hostile actions against Russia and, as they believe, bring the war they unleashed against Russia to a victorious conclusion. It was they who started this war. It wasn't us who launched the hostilities at the beginning of the 'special military operation'."

He is AMERICA
I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII. His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General. Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS Donald Trump's name has been removed from the exterior of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after a federal judge ruled that the Kennedy Center board violated federal law when it added his name to the institution. Workers removed the facade signage overnight after scaffolding and tarps were erected to carry out the court-ordered operation. The ruling held that only Congress has the authority to change the center's name, not the board itself. The Kennedy Center had already begun removing Trump's name from its website, branding, email signatures, letterhead, and other official materials ahead of the physical removal. Bottom line: A federal court ordered Trump's name removed. The Kennedy Center complied. As of June 13, Trump's name is no longer on the building.

🚨 BREAKING Trump drove his motorcade across the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool while resurfacing work was still underway. As someone who constantly reminds us he's a "builder," he should have known exactly what that means. If leaks, blisters, delamination, cracking, or coating failures appear later, the contractor now has an obvious response: "You drove armored vehicles across our work." That's not a political argument. That's a warranty argument. Pool coatings and waterproofing systems typically come with cure requirements, traffic restrictions, and exclusions for owner-caused damage. In construction, documented heavy vehicle traffic on a freshly resurfaced system is the kind of thing contractors point to when they deny warranty claims. The irony is hard to miss. A project intended to stop leaks now has documented coating defects. And the owner created a highly public record of driving a motorcade across the very surface that was supposed to keep the water in.

Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right? So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing. The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

Kingdom of Heaven (2005) had one of the most unusual reputational shifts in modern cinema. The theatrical cut was criticized for feeling hollow, but when Ridley Scott released the Director’s Cut, the film was transformed. With restored character arcs and richer political context, it suddenly played like the sweeping epic Scott had intended all along. The turnaround showed how editing choices can completely reshape a movie’s legacy.
What’s a movie you’ve seen public opinion shift on in your lifetime?

ZELENSKYY: We hear from many leaders that not only does Ukraine need Europe, but Europe also needs Ukraine. And that is true. Russia has chosen long-term anti-European, anti-democratic strategy and is building its political course around it. Nothing else is coming from Moscow. There are only attempts to buy off certain politicians with various benefits. Not for the sake of peace, but so that those politicians simply sell out the interests of their nations and Europe's shared interests to Russia. They will ultimately lose, just as Orbán did. Yet many still try to befriend Putin's wallets and close their eyes to what is really happening. I want to thank everyone who, nevertheless, continues to fight for their peoples, for Europe's interests, and for security in Europe with Ukraine.

This MOONRAKER (1979) scene is peak Roger Moore as James Bond, turning a life-or-death situation into a perfectly timed joke and a raised eyebrow. Nobody delivered effortless 007 charm quite like him.

Thank you Col.
🚨 SHAMEFUL ERASURE! This corrupt Trump administration ordered the Air Force to scrub the historic achievements of Retired Col. Nicole Malachowski — the FIRST female Thunderbird pilot in 2006! 🔥😡 Pete Hegseth's DEI purge is wiping out documented military history to feed fragile egos. Her legacy is NOT a political slogan — it's FACT! Stop the cover-up!

Val Kilmer was reportedly considered for Morpheus before THE MATRIX (1999) landed on Laurence Fishburne. One of those casting what-ifs that’s fascinating less for the role itself and more for how completely Fishburne ended up owning it.

What actor was originally cast or considered for a role that would’ve been interesting to see?

Doug Burgum says California is the only state "really dependent" on the Strait of Hormuz. That's true only if you define dependence as the moment crude oil enters a California refinery. But that's not where Americans feel the consequences. California may be the most directly exposed state because of its crude import mix. Fair enough. But a Hormuz disruption doesn't stop at California's border. If fertilizer prices spike, Iowa notices. If diesel prices spike, Texas notices. If shipping costs spike, Georgia notices. If food prices spike, everyone notices. The Strait of Hormuz isn't just an oil route. It's one of the most important trade chokepoints on Earth. When energy flows are disrupted, transportation costs rise. When transportation costs rise, goods become more expensive. When fertilizer costs rise, food becomes more expensive. When shipping costs rise, businesses and consumers pay more. That's how global markets work. So California may be the most directly exposed. But Americans everywhere are economically exposed. The real question isn't whether California depends on Hormuz. It's why Burgum measures dependence only where crude enters a refinery instead of where Americans actually feel the costs. Receipts below. 👇
