Christo-Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

I know, it's about whining about how you don't like your choices. Feel free to rewrite our entire voting system. I don't have any great ideas on how to fix the system without breaking it more and I haven'ytheard any other ones either. I am probably just at the point where I spend my day around peop...

President Biden, you've been pissing away political capital during an election year so you could support a controversial militant ally. Let’s check in with their National Security Minister to see how much they appreciate it! https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/1788458123436433783?s=46&t=4JK70dXX...

It was an epic magnetic sun storm. again tonight as well it seems Bill Nigh the Science Guy was just on CNN, and said if you still have a pair of the eclipse glasses and look at the sun right now, you can see the solar flares leaving the surface of the sun. He did say he only glanced, but thought t...
