    X / House of Representatives ^ | July 16 | Rep. Thomas Massie
    @RepThomasMassie Though my amendment to strike $3.3 billion in aid to Israel from the State Dept Approps bill did not pass, 104 House Members voted in favor of it. The tide is changing. Americans want their tax dollars to be spent improving things here at home, not waging war and genocide.

  • Ballot drop boxes - King County (Seattle)

    07/15/2026 5:25:14 PM PDT · by zeestephen · 13 replies
    King County (Seattle) decided it needs ONE more Ballot Drop Box. Where did they decide to locate it? Bellevue Community College. Current number of students? More than 20,000. Scroll down a few inches at the link and see what the County Drop Box map looks like. Bellevue (154,000) is an affluent suburb that used to be strongly pro-business, a true outlier in King County. Over the last six years, Bellevue City Council has become 100% Hard Left. Tragic.

  • Transgender Person Who Fled the United States for the Netherlands Now Complains About Being Harassed by Muslims There (VIDEO)

    A transgender person who was born a male but now identifies as a woman, fled the United States of America for the Netherlands, apparently believing there would be greater freedom there. This same person was recently interviewed and complained about being harassed by Muslim migrants in the Dutch country. How many times have we seen something like this before? People on the left who flee the United States of America looking for something better, almost never find what they are seeking. In fact, they usually end up learning a hard lesson about how much better life is in the United...
  • Joe Biden Slurs His Way Through Video Announcing New Memoir

    We knew it was coming. Now, it’s finally been announced. In a video shared to social media, Joe Biden issued a statement about his forthcoming presidential memoir, Promise Me, America, and the rollout told you almost everything you need to know before you bother to crack the spine. Biden's voice sounded muffled, as if he were talking with a mouthful of cotton balls. It was hard to watch, but I sat through it. "Since I left the presidency, I've had a lot of people ask me, 'Joe, what have you been doing?'" Biden claimed in the video. "I'm dealing with...

    This is not a right-wing parody video Toronto Police actually posted this. Toronto authorities thought this video would make us mad. They trotted out Sgt. Rob Chevalier, their "2SLGBTQ" Liaison Officer, with a "sad" story about how he and a gay black dude with fake breasts got made fun of.

    A former Arizona congressional candidate and ex-Democratic Party leader was arrested last week on charges of felony burglary at an ex-partner’s home.

According to ballotready.org, Westbrook’s professional experience includes serving as the Southwest Regional Co-Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America Immigrant Rights National Working Group from 2019 to the present, and a past stint as Arizona Democratic Party Vice Chair from...
  • Kamala Harris’s Humiliating WNBA Speech Is Painful to Watch

    Did you know that Former Vice President Kamala Harris is a fan of the WNBA? Okay, she probably couldn't name more than a couple of teams if you quizzed her, even if she studied all night, but the takeaway here is that she went to a game on Sunday and was given the opportunity to speak to the Los Angeles Sparks (that's one of the teams) after the game. And it was bad. Following the Sparks' 102-87 win over the Chicago Sky, Kamala made her way to the team's locker room to share a few words with the players. In...

    They put a bug on my computer that has a 500GB appetite for free space. My computer is 469GB. By the time I was made aware of what's happening my free space was down to ~5GB. MS released a patch, but it requires ~6GB to install and run. By the time I was made aware of the patch, my free space was down to ~2GB. I tried to download the patch several times but it aborted each time for lack of space. I deleted programs and files but as soon as I did, the bug ate the free space. Now,...

    NewsWeek ^ | June 28 | By Steve Mollman
    Representative Thomas Massie on Friday questioned why Republicans continue to emphasize widespread election fraud even as the party holds total governing power across Washington, calling it a contradiction at the heart of the GOP's message. “I mean, we won all the damn elections and we’re in charge,” he said. “And what are we doing with it? We're bankrupting the country, we're starting new wars, we're violating the Constitution. We're not cracking down on the fraud."

    A black feminist historian whose work is being labeled as misleading — and who may have lost her cushy academic job — says it all comes down to an attack on black women. The New York Times tells the tale of Kerri Greenidge, whose 2022 book “The Grimkes” was hailed for its narrative about a slaveholding family and its work in the abolitionist movement. Publishers Weekly put the book on its list of that year’s top books, while the American Historical Association handed Greenidge the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, which honors scholars in women’s history and feminist theory. But the...

    Stand-up comedian Margaret Cho posted a video on her Instagram mocking the death of South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and expressing her hope that another prominent Republican will die next. The 57-year-old celeb said in the video, “Bye, Lindsey Graham … bye, Lindsey! From the closet to the coffin, real seamless,” referencing rumors that the senator was secretly gay. “Um, also, yeah Mitch McConnell,” she went on. “So, it’s Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham … it does happen in threes. Hope!” Cho is believed to be indicating that the third “death” would be President Trump. ... Even people who commented...
