“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt

In John 6:15, Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 people and the crowd's so impressed they try to seize Jesus and make him their "king," by force.

But Jesus "withdrew again to a mountain by himself" to avoid their attempt, bc he was not about earthly power.

Jesus = "No Kings."

This is danger close to being a metaphor.

Surely The Tennessee Holler cannot be suggesting that Grok may be somehow compromised.

Elon would never stand for that.

Right?

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 5h

Per BBC VERIFY - Elon’s Grok just lied and said the crowd size from yesterday was a fake image

It then corrected itself, but not until many on the right seized on it and amplified it

BASH: Santos pleaded guilty to defrauding constituents of hundreds of thousands of dollars, money he will no longer be required to pay back. Is the commutation acceptable to you?

BRITT: What I appreciate is President Trump's commitment to the American people. We saw disarray under President Biden.

To everyone claiming there were no arrests at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday, this is simply not true.

No, a Trump supporter was arrested for trying to use a gun against people exercising their First Amendment rights. He was arrested and his tacky Jeep with Trump flags was towed.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

I’ll see your agreeing with Rand fucking Paul and raise you an agreeing with Marjorie Taylor fucking Greene.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes

Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.

No, obviously we can’t give all of our weapons to Ukraine. We need them to obliterate unarmed vessels in the Caribbean.

Trump: "We can't give all of our weapons to Ukraine. We just can't do that. And I've been very good to President Zelenskyy and to Ukraine."

The Army exists to defend the Republic; the press exists to inform it. Together, they protect the same ideal—self-government built on public trust. Hegseth's Pentagon press restrictions will hurt the Army, the press, and most of all, us. @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/locking-do...

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous

Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.
