Anything “newsy“ associated with The New York Times is worthless. The New York Times and its headlines are one of the reasons we are where we are. Refuse to support them with a subscription.

The NYT once had an agreement with the Soviets that all of their “man in Moscow” Walter Duranty’s news items would be approved by the Soviet censors before being wired to NYC for publication. What does that suggest?

I cancelled my Times subscription over a year ago. I used to like that paper but it became garbage.

I thought the same thing as you about the DC Prosecutor’s decision not to pursue charges against those carrying rifles and shotguns. And I also thought that it wasn’t going to turn out as they had planned, since DC citizens can now openly arm themselves without consequence. Newsflash: my hubby quickly pointed out that that’s exactly what they want. Armed conflict in the streets will lead to declaration of martial law. I haven’t looked at Project 2025, but I’m guessing this is in their plan. As a DC resident, I have an even larger pit in my stomach this morning.

I get so many email from people I like, like you guys. I want to comment and share, but I can't because I'm not a paid member. I live on $1000 a month, but I post, I read, I share. I'm 75, and will continue to do so till the day I die. I hope thealtmedia does not change.

Can we please find another name to give the MAGA tightasses than "Karen"? My Karen has been part of the fight for justice since she demonstrated against the Vietnam War as a teenager, and she's been on the front lines ever since. She's the personification of France's "Marianne." I have to run to keep up with her in this fight now. Plus I personally know three other women with that name who outdo any guy on this page in their commitment to the fight. "Thank you for your consideration in this matter."

Adam and company FTW: "Like we’re gonna take comedy lessons from the preachers from Footloose?!" And including the lower 3rd that definitely most clearly makes it clear that they do not get the joke is even better.

I didn't read the NYT article, but really, hemorrhaging voters? Every election since trump was elected had dems overperforming against expectations. They're just making shit up again so that trump doesn't come after them.

Did you get the news that they are now trying to ban books from NATIONAL PARK GIFT SHOPS? Here's the scoop, and this organization, EveryLibrary, is wonderful and extremely legit. If you care about intellectual freedom and are anti-censorship, check this out and check out their website.

I believe Cheung is the guy who physically shoved around a female staffperson at Arlington. He should be called "Oddjob," unless he would take it as a compliment.

Many people are saying he falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud. Oh wait. He already was convicted of that

Not sure why the Texas Democrats left for 14 whole days. Just to go back and play nice. Always the woman doing the right thing. The Democratic Party will not save us ever.

Let's go back to how we voted for student council reps. No party affiliations necessary. Vote on their platforms. Soda in the vending machine was my winning campaign back in 1982.

If Pete Kegstand hadn’t turned the mighty American military into a bunch of cucks who kneel to Putin, there’d be a simple solution to most of these problems

"Steven Cheung, one of Trump’s top kiss-asses and quite possibly the ugliest human being in history"

Kudos for setting the record straight. I used to confuse him with Bruce Lee.

Senator Ossoff sound 500 CREDIBLE allegations. His report is the kind of serious oversight report that we are used to seeing from competent, honest Senators. Not the random proclamations without basis in low or fact that come out of White House hacks repeatedly. Thank you Senator Ossoff. Your report should be required to be included in the oversight being blocked, with access being denied for oversight or weeks of notice of visit. That is not oversight dummies.
