BREAKING

Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?

IT'S HAPPENING.

James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

I am very clear about Russia, as a social order they have been unspeakably evil and…

Someone told me the reason the US was forcing the war on Japan in the end, was that Stalin was ready to revenge Russia for the defeat in the Russian - Japanese war, and take over Japan. Don't know if there is, or would have been, any truth to that; but in case, the US did it right in the East anyway.

The Soviet entry into the Pacific War was another of the promises Stalin made during the war that he kept - he had promised at Yalta that the USSR would engage in Manchuria 90 days after the end of the war in Europe - which was August 9. Japan did not surrender due to the A-bombs. On August 9, the day the Nagasaki bomb was dropped, there was no mention of that fact in the records of the Supreme War Council. They spent the entire day talking about the Soviet invasion of Manchuria that happened t…

but Tom, isn't it the case that, in fact, plenty of Nazis did in fact enter the postwar German government? it obviously wasn't public knowledge and wasn't talked about for a long time, but they were there. or at least that's my understanding. of course, this is aside from the fact that thousands of Nazi war criminals were allowed HERE via Operation Paper Clip, along with other varieties of onerous postwar phenomena (McCarthy, etc.).
