It is hard not use the worst language as demons mouth platitudes and self praise, when they should be throwing themselves to the floor in shame.

but, there was enough $ in FEMA to pay for Alligator Auschwitz. He literally took $ from elderly, disabled, vets and children, to make a prison so that he can get money selling the labor of the inmates.

I do like Andy Grammar
He's got some fun stuff, while this isn't my favorite, it isn't terrible, and I feel like I should know who the weirdo in the elevator is.
This I think is a better one, and the video is so fun.
An 11-year-old girl just set the record for the youngest person ever to graduate from high school in Germany, and the media bend over backwards to avoid mentioning the plain fact that she is from a refugee family from Afghanistan.
For no other reason than not to trigger their racist readership. They are helped by the fact that the family's surname in transcription matches a common German name and her first name is culturally non-specificβ¦

1922 Germany 100 mark notgeld made out of compressed coal dust.
In times of hyperinflation, they were given as salaries in lieu of worthless currency and could be burned as fuel to stay warm in the winter. Very rare and somewhat fragile
I've found shotcut to be almost what I've always wanted in a basic editor, but I've found it just a touch unstable and crashy. I have not tried to use it for quite a while though.
Kdenlive is not quite so friendly for quick and simple jobs but I go to it more often because it's pretty reliable.
I also paid money for DaVinci Resolve and use that for "big" projects but I tend to keep those other two around because otherwise it's like taking a semi trailer to a drive thru for a snack.

The image features a ginger and white cat sitting on a brown surface, possibly a couch or a blanket. The cat has a neutral expression with its ears perked up, and its eyes are looking directly at the camera. The background is softly blurred, with a hint of a window and light coming through, suggesting an indoor setting. Overlaid on the image is text in a bold, white font with a black outline, which reads: "I am exactly where I want to be in life. At home, avoiding people." The text is positioned at the top and bottom of the image, with the top text larger and centered, while the bottom text is smaller and also centered.

The image is a three-panel comic strip titled "TWONKS." In the first panel, a woman with brown hair, wearing a red top, is speaking to a man with a bald head, wearing a blue top. She says, "Tomorrow could you make me breakfast in bed?" The man responds with "OK," and they both smile. The second panel shows the same characters with the woman smiling and the man looking content. The third panel depicts the man in bed, cooking on a portable stove, while the woman sits cross-armed, looking displeased. The bed has a blue cover, and there is a nightstand with a lamp and a kettle beside it. The background is a solid blue color, and the overall style is simple and cartoonish.

Watching Democratic Party leadership campaigning against Zohran Mamdani instead of Trumpβs giant fascism bill, and the New York Times adopt an internet Nazi troll as its de facto editor to go after Mamdani, all because of some milquetoast democratic socialism, all in the span of about a week, is such an astonishing confirmation of everything the left has been saying about these institutions for decades.
Likeβ¦it would have been difficult to script such a pitch-perfect meltdown over a brown guy who wants free buses in New York City.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a truck labeled "USAID" with a handshake symbol and an American flag motif. A figure labeled "US AID" is emerging from the truck, holding a sack labeled "TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES." The figure is surrounded by a crowd of people reaching out, some holding sacks labeled "TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES" and "TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES." The figure is saying, "AID FROM MY ADMINISTRATION GOES TO THOSE WHO NEED IT THE MOST." The cartoon is signed "Β©2025 by Appear in eaglecartoons.com" and is attributed to "Aetter." The overall theme of the cartoon is a critique of the distribution of aid and tax cuts, suggesting that aid is being directed towards the wealthy rather than those in need.

in reply to π΄ Seph π πΎ • • •The image features a black background with white text. The text is arranged in two paragraphs, with the first paragraph discussing the actions of Christian nationalists, stating that they ignore the teachings of Jesus, equate his compassion with "socialist wokeness," and reinvent God to fit their image. The second paragraph concludes by stating that these individuals are not worshipping God but are instead worshipping themselves. The text is presented in a straightforward, unembellished manner, with no additional images or graphics.
