Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:
- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%
- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)
- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds
- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)
- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility
- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium
- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains
- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules
- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years
- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years
Ooops, sorry!
That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.
🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th.
You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor.
Beyond shameful.
They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.
They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.
They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.
They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.
They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.
They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.
They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.
They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.
To be a MAGA is to be a slave.
Not physically, but mentally.
They stand for nothing.
We're up against people who stand for nothing.
And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.
We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.
The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.
I don't even want to argue with them anymore.
When Donald Trump heard Robert Mueller had died he posted “Good, I’m glad he’s dead”
When Donald Trump heard Robert Reiner had been brutally murdered along with his wife in his own home…
Trump said “I bet he died because he had Trump Derangement Syndrome”
When Donald Trump heard Paul Pelosi had been savagely attacked with a hammer, his skull fractured and almost died…
Trump got on stage, mocked the attack and everyone laughed.
Donald Trump accused 5 Congressional Democrats of Treason…
Trump said they should be “Put to Dearth”
Donald Trump accused his hand picked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley of treason…
Trump said General Milley should be executed.
Trump encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol on January 6th and overturn the election results.
His supporters attacked the Capitol, built a Gallow and looked to execute Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.
Trump stood by for 186 Minutes and let the violence ensue.
Hundreds of Capitol Police Officers were injured.
4 Capitol Police Officers Died.
Trump has encouraged his supporters to “Knock the hell out of them” referencing protestors at his rallies.
Trump even stated he pay their legal fees.
This is the same motherfucker calling for the firing of Jimmy Kimmel because of a comedy skit.
The same motherfucker who just had James Comey arrested for posting a meme on Twitter.
If anyone needs to tone down the rhetoric.
It’s this piece of shit.
"As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic."
With this statement, Sean Hannity yesterday definitively confirmed what many had long suspected: For the hardcore MAGA movement, Donald Trump is not just a politician, but a substitute religion.
Belief in the golden calf in the Oval Office trumps over 2,000 years of Christianity, the Pope, the Bible, and every form of institutional morality.
If the Holy Father dares to criticize Trump—be it on wars, Iran, or Christian charity—then one's own denomination is summarily discarded like an unsuitable T-shirt. Trump first, everything else second. Or not at all.
But you could also write:
Embarrassment first.
Lies first.
Betrayal first.
The list goes on.
This isn't a crisis of faith. This is the ultimate exposure of a political cult.
MAGA followers—or at least their most vocal representatives like Hannity—willingly abandon their faith to remain unconditionally loyal to the man considered by independent historians, ethics watchdogs, and a long list of court cases to be one of the most corrupt and scandal-ridden presidents in US history.
A man who likely raped children, whose administration was riddled with conflicts between private business and official duties, and who, even while in office, never ceased to test the boundaries of law and decency.
They sacrifice their religion, their intellectual integrity, and often enough, their own moral compass—and for what?
For a president whose record of competence, character, and governance is considered by many to be disastrous. They call it "loyalty." Critics call it blind worship.
The Church has survived scandals for centuries, but apparently not the test of whether it is allowed to criticize Trump.
Anyone who so readily abandons their faith simply to remain loyal to a single politician has never truly believed in anything higher than power and tribalism.
The MAGA movement is demonstrating once again that it is no longer a political movement. It is a substitute religion with its own cult leader, its own dogmas, and a willingness to sacrifice everything else—including one's own conscience.
Anyone still participating must ask themselves: What is left when even faith only counts as long as it benefits Trump?
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
Hey Republicans;

He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing.
He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing.
He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing.
He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing.
He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing.
His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing.
He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing.
He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing.
You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them.
And it’s only been a year.
Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember?
Not to him. To the Constitution.
It’s time to do your fucking jobs!
Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!
JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next.
Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades.
George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks.
The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order.
No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide.
A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute.
The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.
The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it.

Absolute bombshell. Pope Leo directly rebukes Pete Hegseth for trying to frame the Iran war as a Christian holy crusade. The Pope declares God will not listen to their prayers because their hands are full of blood. A devastating moral condemnation of the Pentagon.
Trump’s former lawyer Ty Cobb just unloaded on his ex-boss after Trump celebrated the death of Robert Mueller:
“He is a demented narcissist, rules the country in a very authoritarian manner with the assistance of a cowardly cabinet…”
Hey @JDVance, you said we should "call out" people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death. Surely you will call out this Vietnam draft dodger who celebrated the death of a Marine veteran who earned a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam.
Bob Costas on Trump: "He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. You have to be in a toxic cult to believe that Trump has ever been emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be POTUS." (2024)
Did you know 😏
He rubbed lemon juice on his face. Robbed two banks. Smiled at the cameras. Got caught in an hour. And changed psychology forever.
In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two banks in Pittsburgh and robbed them with no mask, no disguise, and lemon juice on his face. He believed that because lemon juice works as invisible ink on paper, it would make his face invisible to cameras. He smiled directly into the security cameras. Police aired the footage on the evening news and arrested him within an hour.
When shown the tape, Wheeler stared at the screen and said, "But I wore the juice." He had tested the theory with a Polaroid selfie and didn't appear in the photo — because lemon juice got in his eyes and he aimed the camera at the ceiling.
His case inspired Cornell psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger to publish their 1999 paper defining the Dunning-Kruger Effect — the cognitive bias where people with low ability drastically overestimate their own competence.
