Thirty-one years ago, on September 1, 1995, Michael Almereyda’s NADJA, in which David Lynch cameos as a morgue attendant who falls victim to vampiric hypnosis, was released theatrically. For my book THE DREAMER’S PATH, Almereyda recounted his relationship with Lynch, the circumstances that… 1/2

David Lynch, as a morgue attendant who falls victim to vampiric hypnosis but nonetheless maintains his A-plus hair game, in Michael Almereyda’s 1995 film NADJA.

the press has gotten completely habituated to the ugly and hateful behavior of the people in this government so i will be surprised if anyone ever asks hegseth why he thinks it is appropriate to mock children for wanting to learn, grow and maybe serve their country

Ballou on Epstein Files Hearing: There were just long periods of silence in the courtroom as the DOJ struggled to articulate why it couldn’t follow the law here. I had never really been in a hearing like that, where one side was just silent on their own arguments…

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.
