None of that is visible to me, the article looks free and clear. Perhaps it’s how I have my browser configured. Did you find one of the dozens of free alternatives? There’s a neato browser extension called “Archive Page”. If I see a locked article, it’s always worth checking there to see if it’s archived, it’s as simple as pressing a toolbar button which the extension installs.

It’s as much news as those about god or church. Freedom of religion! Woo woo.

All that post-WWII goodwill … Gone.

When in doubt, throw it out.

Transgender and and biological sex issues? Mental health.

My read is it’s about the politicization of science.

The IG report, however, paints a radically different story of the Iran war than the one portrayed by Trump and Hegseth. In addition to highlighting the munitions shortfalls — which it sourced directly from the Office of the Under Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment, the office responsible for purchasing weapons for the U.S. military — the report notes that the Iran war has resulted in more than 50 U.S. military aircraft being damaged or destroyed. In addition, “USCENTCOM reported that Iranian strikes damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan,” according to the report.

As the IG report notes, the greatest costs have been borne by the 18 service members who lost their lives in the conflict, as well as the more than 400 service members who were wounded in action in just the first four months of the conflict. The Defense Casualty Analysis System now shows more than 800 servicemembers have been injured in the Iran war.

That is why war is supposed to be approved by Congress.

It fits right in with “Preach the New Testament, practice the Old.”

Republicans said they were the party of family values. That is clearly not the case.

This is also about censorship. Can’t discuss or teach about these things, since they’re “criminal”. Engineering sexual ignorance.

He’s the Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr.

We sure have come a long ways from the spirit of the Statute of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…”

“The Sheriff’s Office has said there is no known motive at this time, but we cannot separate this incident from the climate in which it happened,” said Jasjit Singh, an attorney and director of legal services at the Jakara Movement, a California-based organization that serves the Punjabi Sikh community and has been providing support to the victim.

If the check is not used, it doesn’t matter whether it’s there or not. The republicans inaction can be simply explained via oligarchy or plutocracy and the wealth divide.

I understand you think that’s a distinction, I consider it one without much difference. If Repubs refuse to check him, then there are no checks on his power.

10 Million seems low to me. Cars and homes can be replaced: pets and neighbors and community cannot be replaced, they are priceless.

He decides and we pay? We’re not supposed to have a King, we’re supposed to have a legislature of representatives and senators, one of whose jobs is deciding whether to go to war. I have no idea what the democrats are going to do when they get back in office, but Trump has shown us that the checks and balances are little more than a voluntary agreement able to be ignored by the president as desired. The US Executive Branch needs a constitutional neutering.

So why do we teach our children not to lie, and why are there honor codes?

Nuclear waste. The ticking time bomb that goes away only after hundreds of thousands of years. I can see they’re just going to play with moving this waste around from time to time $$$. But let’s build more nuclear plants!!! Because — well just because.

Abrahamic religions including Christianity have difficulties coexisting with others.

“We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age,’’ EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in an essay in The Wall Street Journal.

No wonder this admin has a problem with separation of church and state. They don’t understand the word “religion”. I reckon it’s not because they’re stupid or ignorant, they just choose to not understand it, like Upton Sinclair observed about money.

Per search AI, there was no ideology cited: there was a history of domestic violence; and envy, interpersonal manipulation and sadism were said involved. These are just killers. To keep the rest of us safe from them, they are now where they belong.

In my view, it’s a breakdown of separation of church and state. This administration is full of Christian extremists.
