As JE said, riling up the Right is easy as shooting crackers in a barrel. The hubbub over the chain’s proposed signage revamp hasn’t done squat to improve the chain’s lousy grub. Took this shot on a bike trip to Asheville, North Carolina, when I was too tired find something actually edible.

Opinion | How a Book From 1981 Anticipated This Political Moment Two columnists sit down to discuss two books that crystallize this period in America.

“Critics say that America is a lie because its reality falls so short of its ideals. They are wrong. America is not a lie. It is a disappointment. But it can only be a disappointment because it is also a hope.”

It’s my fault that I’ve lost access to www.combatvetsusa.org, our club’s page. Been trying to get it back from BlueSky — where I thought I had moved from GoDaddy for hosting. Clearly not. @pfrazee.com has said he could help. They’ve got bigger fish than idiots like me for sure. Still, what a pain!

When casting someone as a witch, get a real witch. Also, serial killer, get the real thing. Life ain’t no dang movie after all.

I was made for this moment. So were you. We're the ones who are here. There's no one else. Freedom is counting on us. I'm glad. I'm up to it. What are we supposed to do, say we have bone spurs and let someone else bear the burden? Hell no. Too many people before me made the ultimate sacrifice.

holy shit lol

Dinesh D’Souza, ’2000 Mules’ Director, Acknowledges the Film Was Flawed The director, Dinesh D’Souza, who is facing a lawsuit over the documentary, admitted that an analysis used to make claims about election fraud that were later debunked had been faulty.

“A lie believ’d only for an hour has done its Work and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the tale has had its effect.” — Jonathan Swift

Pete Hegseth’s Mother Accused Her Son of Mistreating Women for Years Penelope Hegseth made the accusation in an email to her son in 2018, amid his contentious divorce. She said on Friday that she regretted the email and had apologized to him.

An absolute lack of character, something of a Trump admin requirement. On two occasions, he mated with different women and spawned two children while married to two other women. The spawnings and wife-cheating led to two divorces and a severe rebuke from his own mom
