Congratulations to First Lady Melania Trump on this important achievement!
Her efforts to secure a ceasefire and facilitate humanitarian aid demonstrate the power of diplomacy and leadership.
This is a meaningful step toward peace bringing hope to civilians, and creating an opportunity for progress.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we remain committed to advancing peace, stability, and security.
Please vote for Shane Manwaring for Salt Lake County Sheriff. He is amazing and is ready to actually take on crime. That is absolutely terrible about that murder. Those boys should have been behind bars.
Arizona is one of the most consequential battleground states in America. Its political direction has enormous implications for national elections.
Losing Arizona would bring us one major step closer to losing the country. The stakes are too high to ignore. Vote Biggs.
My father has never hugged me.
Not when I was born. Not at my graduation. Not when I left home.
That's normal for a Japanese father his age. Love is a full gas tank when you visit. A bag of oranges handed over without a word.
Last month, my friend from Texas came to dinner at my parents' house. When it was time to go, he did what Texans do.
He hugged my mother.
Then he turned around and hugged my father.
My father froze. Arms straight down. Like a soldier being hugged by a bear.
Three seconds. Nobody breathed.
After he left, my father sat at the table for a long time. Then he said:
"In America… do they do that with their fathers too?"
"Every time," I said.
He nodded. That was all.
Two weeks later, I went home for dinner. When I was leaving, my father stood up, walked to the door, and put his arms around me.
Badly. Like he was assembling furniture with no instructions.
I'm over forty. It was the first time.
He let go, looked at the floor, and said, "Drive safely."
My mother told me later he'd been practicing on the dog.
@Rothmus Those who are opposed to corporations and favor government do not realize that government is simply the largest, most monopolistic corporation of all and it has a monopoly on violence.
The Bulwark crew is absolutely ecstatic over the idea of investigations and prosecutions of Elon Musk.
Can barely contain themselves:
"He has a body count like a f*cking war criminal. We start with the US Congress and it ends at The Hague for Elon Musk."
"You've got $1 trillion, asshole. Start spending it on lawyers."
"You don't hate him nearly enough."
"There has been a series of meetings among House Democrats. Do you know what they're doing? Yes. They're carving up jurisdictions for who is going to Subpoena him to testify before which of them and for what."
"Get a townhouse, big guy. Got a lot of nice brownstones right there by Capitol Hill."
"Elon! You motherf*cker! You better pack a lunch cause your ass is gonna be living in the Capitol starting January of 2027."
"I feel like my guys, Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin are f*cking ready. They're loaded for bear."
Same kind of people that've cried endlessly about the weaponization of justice are absolutely salivating over the idea of weaponizing justice against their political opposition.
Her entire religious muslim hijabi thing happened way later in her life.
And l will bet money she only changed up to score oppression points in politics and appeal to jihadi constituents.
