Give a man a book, and he'll read for a week. Teach a man to write a book, and he'll never fully enjoy anything again.

@AGHamilton29 @chadfelixg Trump wasn’t even a Republican when he took over the Republican Party.

It's a perfectly fine article, but it's sad that in 2026 this is my newsworthy quote: “ I would argue it's good for the kid with a gun to be punished mildly so they stop doing it, as opposed to getting them for murder when they’re 18.”

Wait, why had no one told me Don Jr's new wife is the daughter of the banker who helped Jeffrey Epstein buy his island, recommending him in a letter as a man of the "highest integrity?" https://t.co/4SfGvlUa3E

@CoffeewClassics The world had a hundred million people when Plato was born. Forget nutrition, just in raw number, the world must be producing 80 Plato's at a time.

New immigration policy idea. We offer a special permit, for “just the best drivers,” to drive however you like in the left lane. When they show up to get it, we deport them. Even if their ancestors came on the Mayflower.

Years ago white nationalist congressman Steve King gets censured for his views by party & defeated in a primary by Randy Feenstra, a clean cut christian conservative.

Tonight Feenstra may lose his Gov primary to a no-name MAGA weirdo powered by an endorsement from
…Steve King

@Nemtastic1 @wil_da_beast630 What do you think people rioted over.

[Eric Nelson @literaryeric]

@BeatboxAbednego @wil_da_beast630 I’m really not a fan of the government lying about bad things they’ve done, so I get why other people also get mad about it.

Wow, I asked ChatGPT to create a slide deck for Instagram using my post below that opposes Pride month. It told me it could not do it. Violation of policy.

I didn’t ask it to write the post. I wrote the post. I only asked it to format it into slides appropriate for Instagram.

Clear viewpoint discrimination.

Illegal immigration is illegal, duh.

The Biden Administration allowed between 12 and 20 million illegal immigrants into our country.

Fair-minded Americans know border security isn't racist. It's prudent.

This is why the Democrats suck. They’ve been handed one of the worst candidates the Republicans have put up for anything ever, and they’re focussed on something a simple Google search debunks.
