This a horribly bizarre amount of equine deaths to happen in a single competition: We will learn more in the coming weeks about the cause of their sudden and tragic deaths, including due culpability of their human caretakers.

What??! Does he know anything about Christianity, in particular: “thou shalt not kill”? Perhaps the key message of love and tolerance—including love extended to sinners (however one defines sinning)—went over his supposed Christian head. 😉

The Chinese government statement that the US decision to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon over US territory is a “clear overreaction and a serious violation of international practice,” is like geopolitical gaslighting, haha.

The article notes that most of the deaths were due to the horses breaking their legs or neck during training. Sounds like the training was too harsh, or the horse was overly-excited due to steroids/drugs.

Not only are the glittering generalizations multiplying — so are the contradictions. i.e. denying involvement in Project 2025, after supporting it for years: his cult followers are unfazed, which is the true litmus test for a cult of personality.

Trump is the only candidate as obsessed with harming women’s bodies as the Taliban.
His evidenced aim for dictatorship is bringing our society backwards in time like the Taliban; eroding democracy and the rule of law.

Respectfully disagree. If Assad remains in power, the US, Türkiye, and Arab allies should not negotiate with Syria. Assad brutally murdered his own people and destroyed his own country. He is not a leader, and engaging with someone like him would set a bad precedent.

“Wallflower”, as a human, is defined as “a person who has no one to dance with or who feels shy, awkward, or excluded at a party.” In A Victorian Flower Dictionary, the wallflower is a symbol of “fidelity in adversity”.
