Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic for a quarter of a billion dollars over an article that reported on his excessive drinking and the ramifications thereof.
I don't think he has a case - it's neither libelous nor defamatory to point out that an out-of-control drunk is an out-of-control drunk.

They desperately want to turn the US into North Korea:
Senior Advisor Kari Lake openly demands a massive purge of the mainstream media by firing journalists who criticize Donald Trump.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

'Department of War' May Become Official
Quote:The Pentagon has asked Congress to officially change the Defense Department's name to the "Department of War" — a rebrand championed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and has so far cost more than $50 million.
The department's proposal this week would codify an existing executive order signed in September by President Donald Trump, which proclaims that the Department of War will serve as a secondary name for the agency. It would also change Hegseth's title to "Secretary of War."

Mike Lindell, Angelic Warrior
Quote:MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Republican candidate for Minnesota governor, vowed to take on satanic statues immediately after being sworn in, should he win.
Quote:"Remember, Governor Walz put a satanic statue in our capital in St. Paul," Lindell asserted. "And then he got an award for it. So that's somewhere in the Capitol."

The Trump administration is facing backlash after a new White House counterterrorism directive explicitly named “radically pro-transgender” groups among the domestic ideologies federal agencies should monitor.

How about monitoring your own stupid, conservative asses.
