The Son of God, through whom all things were created, was not welcomed, and a poor manger for animals was his crib. The eternal Word of the Father whom the heavens cannot contain chose to come into the world in this way. Out of love, he accepted poverty and rejection,

We put Putin's 19 December speech next to Hitler's 1939 Reichstag address. Seven steps. Same sequence. Same wording. "I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act." The formula aggressors use to make conquest sound like self-defense hasn't changed in 86

An absolute travesty. In firing nearly 30 career Ambassadors, the Trump Administration has weakened U.S. diplomacy worldwide. No President has done anything like this in the 101-year history of the Foreign Service. https://t.co/d3OxkelTDz via @NYTimes

A union representing career diplomats said such a mass recall had never happened in the history of the U.S. Foreign Service.

Nothing to see here except the president accusing a leading newspaper of being a national security threat and demanding it “must be dealt with and stopped.”

With this mornings release it’s *CLEAR* that @FBIDirectorKash committed perjury before the House. He claimed there was *NO* evidence Epstein trafficked minors to others. The FBI’s own emails point to AT LEAST 10 co-conspirators. Including 6 who they had SERVED in the first
How could Kash Patel testify under oath that there was no evidence Epstein trafficked minors? That’s a pretty big perjury moment.

Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

“Late last month, days after the Geneva talks, Witkoff arranged a meeting with Ukrainian officials in Florida. Rubio became aware of the planned session only when the Ukrainians asked his team about it, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the incident. A
Apart from disagreements about peace efforts, Witkoff has been at loggerheads with Rubio and State Department officials about the way he handles security.

Trump administration decision to recall some 30 ambassadors will leave 110 US embassies without ambassadors in place. Please explain, @SecRubio, how that strengthens US ability to promote its security and economic interests.

Almost 30 envoys are being recalled, some from countries where President Trump has lauded U.S. efforts to end armed conflicts.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton. “Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Yes, this is real. Yes, it's astonishing. Global TV, which airs 60 Minutes in Canada, uploaded the original version of Sunday's episode, including the Sharyn Alfonsi segment that Bari Weiss shelved. And now people all across the internet are watching the segment.
Inside CECOT (the 60 Minutes segment that was spiked yesterday) is available on Global TV app. It must have been delivered before the story was blocked. Watching it now.

Russia is committed to peace in Ukraine? Have to wonder if Putin typed this tweet out himself.
Over the last two days in Florida, the Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held productive and constructive meetings with the American delegation to advance President Trump’s peace plan on Ukraine. The American delegation included Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner,

We know there are hundreds of good Americans at the FBI and DOJ who also want to see justice for Epstein’s victims and survivors. To anyone who worked hard on the files and is now seeing their work being hidden by their own DOJ, there are whistleblower protections.

Skyscraper Art Deco is actually one the very few American aesthetics I as a European am somewhat jealous of.
Buffalo City Hall from 1931 is an Art Deco skyscraper in the city of Buffalo, NY from the architects George J. Dietel and John J. Wade. Here a view of the upper floors with Art Deco details. Pic: Maureen
