Even in Iran they don’t say this stuff.
Mike Johnson: "God miraculously saved the president's life -- I think it's undeniable -- and he did it for an obvious purpose. His presidency and his life are the fruits of divine providence. He points that out all the time and he's right to do so."

Britain also has a former reality-TV star, convicted felon and bankruptcy claimant who has some very colourful and unworkable political ideas. Actually even more colourful and less workable, if that’s possible. Luckily not electable.
It would be difficult to come up with a less qualified or more ill-informed candidate for Mayor of London than Ant Middleton. It is hard to guess if he simply doesn't know he would have no such powers (probable?) or does know and is pretending he could as a campaign tactic

The military-industrial complex: Always there when you don’t need ‘em, never there when you do.

They’ve updated the policy in response. It’s still nuts — the definition of “non-explicit sexual content” suggests that it becomes explicit if it contains passages of scripture. One problem with book banning: there’s no way to write a guideline that doesn’t sound insane

This is only weeks after the province‘s largest city finally restored fluoridation to its drinking water, overcoming a powerful conspiracy-theory lobby. So at least kids won’t lose their teeth while they get STDs at age 12.

This is the paradox. Forced to defend unpleasant people against the profound injustice of Trump.
Francesca Albanese is a crank and an Assad apologist but I oppose US sanctions against her in the strongest possible terms.

Reason number 876 why the increase in defence spending is best devoted to arms for Ukraine (and other invaded allies) rather than increasing the personnel size of our own forces.
This story is just … wild. The plan was “to take over a plot of land north of Quebec City”? And then what? Form their own country? The four of them?. Canadian Armed Forces members among four charged in Quebec extremist plot, RCMP say

Ok, I've seen it all now. Didn't think I'd see anything dumber but here we are.

That headline is putting it extremely mildly. Grok is gleefully posting Jew-hating fictions and cliches in vast volumes, a basic search reveals
