“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is in a penitent mood. ‘I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics,’ she said in an interview Sunday on CNN, where all normal, spiritually mature Christians such as Rep. Greene go to make their confessions. … Rep. Greene professes to put her Christian faith at the center of her life and American flourishing at the center of her politics. She has an opportunity to put those professions into action if she is sincere — as I will assume, arguendo, that she is, though I actually very much doubt it — about her regret over her contributions to ‘toxic politics.’ Rep. Greene should resign her office and return to private life. A period of penance might be good for her.” (11/18/25)

“Democrats say they will make life more affordable for Americans. What a joke. People should ask: If Democrat policies lower costs for Americans, why are all the most expensive cities in the U.S. run by Democrats? Where were these concerned politicians when their party and President Joe Biden blew up federal spending and drove inflation to 9% — the highest since Democrat Jimmy Carter was president? Show me one Democrat who backs sustainable measures that actually lower the cost of living, rather than fake fixes like freezing prices. Why is it so expensive to live in cities and states run by Democrats? Because they impose high taxes, costly labor regulations, expensive green mandates and restrictions on new building that drive construction costs higher. New York, San Francisco, Boston, San Jose, and Honolulu are the costliest cities in the U.S. All are run by Democrat mayors and are in states with Democrat governors.” (11/18/25)

“A mostly forgotten figure today, [Louis] Marshall (1856-1929) was a prominent lawyer and activist who argued and won a series of significant legal victories during the Progressive Era …. Marshall was a leading reformer during the Progressive Era, but he was no Progressive. Rather, he was a classical liberal. He championed property rights and economic liberty in regulatory cases while championing the rights of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities in civil rights cases.” (11/18/25)

“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Monday it’s investigating a new sexual battery allegation against hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is serving a four-year prison sentence on prostitution-related convictions. … A male music producer and publicist said he was asked to come to a photo shoot in 2020 at a Los Angeles warehouse, where Combs exposed himself while masturbating and told the accuser to assist, according to NBC News, citing a police report. Combs then tossed a dirty shirt at the man, the producer said. The accuser, whose name is redacted in the police report, said he did not tell anyone for several years because he felt embarrassed. He came forward to police in Largo, Florida, this September, shortly after Combs was convicted on other charges.” (11/18/25)

“As Donald Trump continues to ramp up his immigration raids and slash social programs, one theme is consistent through his press conferences and executive orders: class war. Not just the one enforced by ICE raids, mass kidnappings, and deportations, but one that he is aiming to invade and bomb Venezuela, Mexico, and now Colombia in the so-called ‘war on drugs.’ These attacks on the working class are part of the same imperial system, and they must be opposed with equal force, organization, and clear politics.” (11/18/25)

“The Kessler twins, who were best known for their postwar entertainment in the ’50s and ’60s, have died by joint assisted suicide. Alice and Ellen Kessler died at age 89 at their home in Grünwald, near Munich, Germany, on Monday. The sisters ‘no longer wanted to live’ and they ‘had chosen to end their lives together’, as reported by the German newspaper Bild. According to CNN, Alice and Ellen were assisted by advocacy organization the German Society for Humane Dying (DGHS). The DGHS provides people with access to lawyers and doctors and other tools. The organization told CNN that the twins contacted the DGHS over a year ago and became members. ‘The decisive factor is likely to have been the desire to die together on a specific date,’ DGHS spokesperson Wega Wetzel told CNN. However, Wetzel noted that she wasn’t aware of why each woman chose this method.” (11/18/25)

“Laura Loomer has never been subtle about her support for Israel. Just a few months ago, she described the diminutive state as a ‘wall protecting the U.S. from mass Islamic invasion.’ So it came as something of a surprise last week when, seemingly out of nowhere, Loomer called for the U.S. to end all aid to Israel. But her logic is fairly straightforward. … In Loomer’s view, the financial support amounts to ‘golden handcuffs’ — a needless restriction on Israeli actions that also acts as a ‘constant source of agitation’ in the U.S. … It’s probably safe to say that, these days, most advocates of cutting off aid to Israel are motivated by anger at Israeli policies in Gaza. But skepticism toward aid has never been limited to Israel’s critics.” (11/18/25)
