The Huffington Post reports: President Donald Trump said the U.S. soldiers killed during his war with Iran voiced support for the ongoing attacks, saying we "cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon." "They are indeed great heroes, actually. They said, and they, all of them said very strongly, 'We can't let, cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon," he told reporters before departing to attend a ceremony for four service members recently killed. "So we're going to honor them. And one of the hardest things to do for me, it's one of the hardest things for me to do as president, but it has to be done," he said.

Honestly people, if Democrats were "rigging elections", we'd have single payer health care, clean water, no Fox News and solar cars by now.

To believe the 2020 election was stolen, you also have to believe the following: 1. When Donald Trump was in charge, he allowed Joe Biden to infiltrate the federal government and rig the election against him. 2. In 2024, when Joe Biden and the Democrats were actually in charge, they chose not to rig the election and let Trump win. The entire premise is nonsense and the logical explanation is simply that Donald Trump is a narcissistic psychopath.
Fluffy white dog with a curled tail stands in a field of green grass, with his tongue hanging out. He is looking up, waiting for a ball to be thrown for a game of fetch. He will chase the ball, but, when he gets it, will drop it to the ground and not return it. He does this because he loves how pissed off this makes me.

Either way, the stakes remind me of a question I once asked Graham on a long flight over Central Asia. At what point in his career, I wondered, had he gathered the boldness to assert himself so overtly in foreign policy? "When I was first elected to the House," he recalled, "I looked for the they. They who run things. They who know how things really work. They who know what they are doing. But I couldn't find the they." After that, he went on, "I went to the Senate. But there was still no they. And then I started to get invited to the White House, and to closed-door briefings, and to meetings with top officials. No they." "What I finally realized," he concluded, “is that there is no they. There is only we, and we usually don't know what the fuck we're doing."
What the actual fuck?
Post by samneilltheprop It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July 2026 in Sydney, Australia. Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life. The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent's Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.
"The preliminary examination findings were: Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease. "The death certificate will be PENDING until all the toxicological and microscopic testing are finalized and at that point the death certificate will be updated to reflect the cause of death and appropriately classify the manner of death."

Post by Michael Fanone On X Lindsey Graham is dead. I will always remember my first and only encounter with him when he looked the grieving mother of a dead police officer in the face and barked that he wasn't going to listen to her blame Trump for January 6th. When I showed him my body cam footage from that day he turned away and looked at his phone. Rest in Piss you fucking worthless scumbag. If there is a hell I hope you're in it.
"People try to analyze Lindsey through the prism of the manifest inconsistencies that exist between things that he used to believe and what he's doing now," Schmidt says. "The way to understand him is to look at what's consistent. And essentially what he is in American politics is what, in the aquatic world, would be a pilot fish: a smaller fish that hovers about a larger predator, like a shark, living off of its detritus. That's Lindsey. And when he swam around the McCain shark, broadly viewed as a virtuous and good shark, Lindsey took on the patina of virtue. But wherever the apex shark is, you find the Lindsey fish hovering about, and Trump's the newest shark in the sea. Lindsey has a real draw to power but he's found it unattainable on his own merits."

Post by Swann Marcus @Swann Marcus89 On X.com I know it was hard to see this coming at the time, but in hindsight a guy who invented a fake backstory to pretend he was working class despite being the son of a corporate attorney and failed at literally everything he tried his entire life to the point the totality of his income came from federal disability fraud and a fake nepobaby oyster farming business that only made money because his largest customer was his mommy's restaurant may have been a poor choice to run for Senate against an inoffensive three-term incumbent who's never won by less than 8.6%

Post by Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump The regilding of the sculpture "Valor" is complete, and the regilding of the sculpture "Sacrifice" is rapidly progressing. After "Sacrifice" is regilded, regilding work will begin on the two Arts of Peace sculptures- Each of which is also 19-feet-tall, and on top of 12.5-feet-tall solid granite pedestals. These four sculptures have not been regilded in over half-a-century. 55 pounds of gold leaf is being used in this effort. The first set of photos below is of the completed regilding of "Val...

2.7 Why Capitalism Rocks! Lecturer: Mike Whalen (Pres. and CEO, Heart of America) This presentation will discuss the human and economic reasons why capitalism not only works but rocks, providing superior benefits to humanity in comparison to all other eco-nomic systems. The lengthy and rather miserable history of almost all human existence will be briefly explored. This long period of pretty crappy stasis was followed by an ex-plosion of wealth and freedom in just the past few hundred years. This explosive launch, often termed "The Great Enrichment", is the most dynamic thing that has happened in human history. It has elevated and liberated, in a relatively very short time, a good deal of humankind out of the mud and from crippling disease, grinding subsistence, short life spans, and general misery, and it continues to do so for millions of people every year. This pro human explosion was a result of the growth of the radical concept of personal liberty and its companion free market capitalism. The reason why capitalism generally makes humans better people and why capitalism is more fun will be explored. The inherent inferior structural dynamics of the dominant competing economic models, alternatively termed collectivism, authoritarianism, Marxism, fascism, and communism according to its variants of large state control, will be discussed as well.

Fireworks Safety for pets Keep your pets secured INSIDE your home. Even dogs in fenced yards find ways to escape the scary sounds. Give them a safe place to hide. Set up a comfortable room or crate in your house just for them. Use ambient noise to mask the noise. A radio or TV playing comforting music works well. Update their IDs & microchips (just in case). Skip the celebration and stay home with them. Sometimes your presence makes all the difference. Keep them busy. Treat toys, like Kongs, can help distract them during the display. thatpetplace.com

Why you always lying?
I mean, not good
Friendly reminder: The reflecting pool was fine before Trump got involved. And the Kennedy Center. And the East Wing. And the Rose Garden. And the White House Lawn. And USAID. And the Voice of America. And FEMA. And the CDC. And the FBI. And the Department of Justice. And NATO. And the Constitution. And habeas corpus. And our relationships with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Venezuela, Italy, and Iran.

How the hell does one third of America not grasp that Donald Trump is the most obvious fraud and most criminally insane pathological liar in history? Astounds me every day.

Trump: "Many people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our Reflecting Pool.. They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete." Ted Lieu: "There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen. trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at DOJ are randomly going after people to soothe trump's fragile ego."
Dear Colleagues, My last day at Texas A&M will be July 31. On August 1, I will join Southern Methodist University in Dallas as the Scurlock Chair in Al Ethics. Here is my message to Interim Dean North: Dear Interim Dean North, I am writing to notify you that I will resign from my tenured position at Texas A&M University, effective July 31, 2026. (See the attached letter.) I have met many inspiring colleagues and friends at Texas A&M, and it has been a great pleasure to teach thousands of students. However, I strongly oppose the Board of Regents' new censorship policy. No other serious research university maintains a policy on "prohibited instruction." As Chair of the Academic Freedom Council, I regard this as an outright violation of one of the most basic principles of academic freedom. Faculty-not a politically appointed board-should control the curriculum. I admire the many federal prosecutors across the country who have chosen to resign rather than carry out illegal or immoral orders. To my knowledge, no department head, dean, or other administrator at Texas A&M has taken any meaningful action to defend academic freedom. As John Stuart Mill points out in On Liberty, certain ideas must be "fully, frequently, and fearlessly discussed"; otherwise, they will "be held as a dead dogma, not a living truth." Because faculty no longer control the curriculum, Texas A&M is quickly becoming an institution of dead dogmas. Sincerely, Martin Peterson Sue G. and Harry E. Bovay Jr. Chair Department of Philosophy Texas A&M University
