Who is demanding the imposition of sharia law in America?

I can't think of anyone calling for that, much less enough of a groundswell that it warrants an actual response from Congress.

Who's pushing this, Mike? Name names.

To be fair, I post my own stuff on RT, so I designate the tomato. But the binary is often limiting, yes.

Project Hail Mary - The Film Verdict This save-the-Earth saga satisfies at a surface level, thanks mostly to Ryan Gosling’s universe-spanning charm.

I love that Florida Man here has the sunglasses sunburn on his face as he's casually demanding the deportation of an elected official

BREAKING
Idaho House Committee Passes Extreme Social Transition Ban
HB 822 is alarming government overreach that would allow Idaho politicians to decide how youth dress and act.

BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu

BREAKING: Trump is caught on camera admitting he ordered a war crime:

Trump: "I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.'

They should all be thrown in the HAGUE for war crimes, but the EU has no way to enforce this.

Another fave is The Legend of Billie Jean, which shows a cadre of young women cutting their hair like Helen Slater (who cut it like Jean Seberg).

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

And the pigs keep gobbling.

We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.

Leave us the fuck alone.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

First watched @macfarlanenews.bsky.social when he was a staff reporter @nbcwashington.com: Really appreciated his journalism chops, which are rare in local TV news, even in a marquee market such as DC. Glad he’s bailing out of RW DEI Hire #BariWeiss’s sinking ship.

This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

Normally when someone is this deluded, you'd ask them to name the president to see how far they're really gone

He's been spinning this stupid lie for a while now.

It's bad the president is completely clueless, but even worse that he's being influenced by his failson-in-law who doesn't actually hold a government role at all.

Is he getting tips from cabbies, like Tom Friedman, too?

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
