@FoxNews Fear is easy. Fixing systems is hard. Guess which one gets more airtime.

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.

This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

No executive. No college president. No csuite leader. No industry leader could ever talk like this. Ever. And still hold his job.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Just to get a sense of how off-kilter our politics has become. Just TODAY we have:

* an expose revealing our HHS Sec "still uses psychedelics, and even smoked dimethyltryptamine."

* a report that the Dept FBI Director wasn't given a background check

* a report that Michael Flynn may get a $50m settlement???

* The president sic-ing the DOJ—overtly—on Democrats tied to a sex predator that he himself is tied to

* The Attorney General happily agreeing to his request

* A report that the DHS sec sent millions in ad contracts to a firm tied to her

* A congressman alleging that Trump's wanna-be assassin may have been "groomed"

The Epstein files were under seal during the Biden adminnistration due to Ghislane Maxwell's trial. No one had access to them and anyone with any information about what is in them would be putting that trial in jeopardy and risking a mistrial. If people understood how our system of justice actually works they could save their time and energy on these ridiculous, nonsensical takes.

Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim. https://t.co/UFebMWrYr1

A German-Jewish WWI veteran wears his Iron Cross while a Nazi soldier stands in front of his shop for intimidation, 1933...

This photo was taken in April of 1933, during the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses. It was the expression on the shopkeeper’s face that captivated MyHeritage’s Research team: proud, unafraid, smiling wryly, he exudes a quiet power that contrasts starkly with the hunched body language of the Nazi standing nearby.

Who was this man? And what became of him in the dark days that followed?

The Research team had to find out — and what they uncovered about the rest of the man’s story blew them away.

The man’s name was Richard Stern. After being awarded the prestigious Iron Cross for his service in the German army during World War I, he was driven out of his home country by the hateful Nazi regime. The Research team discovered records of Richard arriving at Ellis Island at the age of 40 in May 1939 — narrowly escaping the beginning of the war. In 1942, when Richard was 43 and not yet an American citizen, he enlisted in the U.S. Army to join the war efforts. And not only did he fight against the country he had once been decorated for defending, he was awarded a Silver Star in 1944: the third-highest combat award in the U.S. Army.

Research team discovered a newspaper clipping from The Long Island Star-Journal printed on July 6, 1944, describing his service: “The victim of German brutality, 45-year-old Sergeant Richard F. Stern, earned the Silver Star for gallantry in action during an assault Jan. 7 on the slopes of Mount Porchio when in the face of heavy enemy fire he addressed the Germans in their own tongue and demanded that they surrender, convincing them they were hopelessly outnumbered.”

Richard did not have any children of his own, but his great-nephew Jack Romberg, a rabbi living in Florida, is well aware of his great-uncle’s actions in the war. He reports that his uncle kept the Silver Star in a box at the bottom of a drawer in a back bedroom — but he did not keep the Iron Cross. Instead, he gave it to the U.S. Army, which was collecting metal to melt down and make into ammunition. That’s right: he turned his German military award into bullets to shoot the Nazis.

It’s technically true that Hasan in fact talked about the presidential election and the candidates.

Here’s what he had to say.

An exchange from Trump's "60 Minutes" interview about his family's crypto empire was not included in the extended version shared online.

As w/most things Trump, there was a modest spike of interest for the first drone strike of some random boat 1,500 miles away from our shore, but each successive attack has received less coverage to the point it's not even discussed anymore. Just killing randos in the Caribbean 🙃

He’s talking about making people with preexisting conditions pay more. Here we go again.

Yet in the days before the election it was the MAGA crowd, specifically Elon Musk, saying the left was knowingly protecting abusers on the "epstein list"

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Linda McMahon and her husband are being sued for knowing and failing to stop the sexual abuse of young boys.
Only “The best people.”
