There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere. It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without ever acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes, multiplied by the tens of thousands and millions on the part of people just like me, hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways. But that erasure of personal and public history would be...

VIDEOWhile I was on our recent cruise to the Southern Caribbean I picked up a few bottles of Curacao liqueur. In this video I show you how I made a Curacao Blue Margarita using a recipe someone aboard our ship gave me. The result is easily not only the BEST Margarita I ever had but probably the MOST refreshing drink of any kind I ever drank.Recipe:1 can (12 oz) water 1 can Margarita mix 3/4 can Tequila 1/4 to 1/2 can Curacao Blue

As the title suggests, something's been bothering me about the photo of "classified documents" released by the DOJ in their response filing for the special master request by Trump's legal team. The cover sheets are all wrong. I've had access to Top Secret/SCI material for over 40 years, working with it on a daily basis. I have never seen cover sheets with a solid color border that say "SECRET/SCI" or "TOP SECRET/SCI." Those would be OK if they were just SECRET or TOP SECRET collateral information (not sensitive compartmented information - SCI). The cover sheets for SCI documents have striped...

VIDEOAlexa seems to be rather shy about defining a recession. If you ask her to define "recession," she will give you a definition for the act of receding. And when you narrow the question down to asking her to define "economic recession," Alexa takes refuge by citing the highly biased Wikipedia definition of recession which notably leaves out a certain definition which has been generally accepted...until now.

The Supreme Court’s historic overturning of Roe v. Wade has plunged pro-abortion activists into a state of existential despair, their life’s work crushed with a single ruling. But hark: here comes Hollywood star Mark Ruffalo to the rescue, offering a scorching photo of himself as succor for the despondent left. Mark Ruffalo, star of Disney’s Avengers and the Oscar-winning Spotlight, posted the sizzling pic to his official Twitter account on Monday along with words that appeared like an attempt to motivate the left ahead of the November midterm elections. “Focused. Determined. Committed,” he wrote in the since-deleted tweet. “Don’t let...

Tur shared that she even "knew how to fly a helicopter" as a kid. "It was a really unique and interesting childhood that nobody else had," said...

Jillian Orr hopes other students at Brigham Young University who are hiding their sexual orientation feel less alone. ...The psychology major, who is bisexual, spread out her graduation gown to reveal a rainbow flag underneath. BYU, which is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, restricts LGBTQ students from dating or showing signs of affection while enrolled at the university. Students who do so can be reported to school officials and are at risk of being disenrolled. For 28-year-old Orr, who was raised in the church and served an 18-month church mission in Oregon, she said she...

Rebecca had this SCOTUS story last Friday. What the hell is going on in Washington, DC? It was a hellacious week in the capital. The DC Police issued a general evacuation order for the Capitol Complex after an aircraft that may have posed a danger was detected. It turned out the unknown parachuters were members of the US Army Golden Knights doing a jump for the Washington Nationals baseball game. Then, there was a shooting that left at least three people injured. The suspect was later found dead near the scene. And then, there was this suicide in front of...

Actress Sally Field says that if she sees Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) or Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), she “cannot be responsible for what I would do.” “Those men who are doing that, and they’re mostly male governors who are doing it, are so backward, so ignorant and really just power hungry,” the Forest Gump star told Variety, after being asked what she thinks of these pro-life legislation in states like Texas and Florida. “I think it’s criminal. They’re so wanting to roll back the achievements and important progress for women, for blacks, for the LGBTQ community. I can’t...
