Actually, one more, because this gave me the chills: President Biden ended his speech by saying, “I love being President. But I love my country more…Some things are more important than staying in power.” We do not deserve Joe Biden. Endlessly grateful. /END (for real)

Guy finally pulled the US out of a misbegotten war we should have gotten out of years ago, showing genuine political courage, and US political & media elites *savaged* him for it. That’s when coverage of his administration went full negative & never came back.

Biden, speaking to the UN General Assembly, talks about pulling out of Afghanistan and says “it was a hard decision. But the right decision. Four American presidents had to face that decision. But I was determined not to leave it to a fifth.” https://t.co/QkNjERAVbC

    The Teamsters President refusing to endorse Kamala Harris because he’s personally a Trumper has been a bigger boon for Kamala Harris than just doing the right thing. She’s getting a new Teamsters endorsement every few days now.

    I believe Ms. Valenti is wrong.
    They are not falling for anything.
    They are deliberately doing this because this is how they get to BOTH SIDES the issue.
    And, if they can’t BOTH SIDES an issue, they won’t report on it at all.

    The Springfield News-Leader says that Sen. Josh Hawley doesn’t support a national ban. That’s just not true.

    Hawley said, “I don’t support a nationwide ban, I do support reasonable federal restrictions.”

    But those are the same thing! Reporters have to stop falling for this.

    BREAKING: Jared Kushner paid $112 MILLION by Saudis for running the $2 billion investment fund they set up for him — despite making ZERO profits the last 3 years.

    S&P 500 has risen 54.4% during the same time frame.

    Is Kushner wildly incompetent – or is this a political payoff?

    Political power is everything in this country. That’s why conservatives spent the last 60 years doing whatever they had to do to gain control of the Supreme Court. The only way to change things is to gain and use political power for ourselves.

    The Supreme Court couldn’t care less about your tweets, your protests, your boycotts, your calls for “revolution”, it’s laughing at you. This country only responds to raw political power. It’s not going to be given to us, we have to take it from them. There is no substitute, no shortcut, no one weird trick. Yes activism has its role but it’s going to require A LOT of voting, A LOT; anyone telling you different is trying to sabotage you.

    “An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” #MartinLutherKingJr

    The execution of #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent man, is a devastating moment that reflects the grave injustices still present in our legal system. We mourn his loss and extend our prayers to his family. Let’s also channel our grief into a renewed commitment to justice. In the spirit of Kingian Nonviolence, we are reminded that “Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice, not people.” This principle urges us to transform systems that fail to offer fairness and redemption.

    My father and mother opposed the death penalty because they believed in the value of every human life and the possibility of redemption, even for those who have made grave mistakes. I, too, agree. The outrage over this execution is justified, but let it fuel our efforts to change a system that too often seeks vengeance over justice.

    We must work harder to ensure that every person is treated with dignity and that justice is grounded in love, not retribution.

    Call to Action: Let’s stand together to demand a fair and humane justice system that truly values life.
