Reposting for info, not commentary.

I would be curious to know if using the barrel of a presumably loaded AR-15 on the window like that is protocol.
This is bullshit! What are the charges?

NEW: We traced out a devastating outbreak of bird flu to its source: an egg farm in Ohio. Where the wind blew, the virus followed.

Within weeks, the farms downwind were about 20 times as likely to see outbreaks as those that weren’t.
What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

It’s Sunday, November 16, 2025.

This is your reminder that:

1. We cannot make the United States a Constitutional Republic again unless we unpack the Supreme Court.

2. We cannot make the U.S. a representative democracy without expanding the House and banning partisan gerrymandering.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Chinese company UBTECH Robotics has assembled an army of humanoid robots for factory work.

They don’t need recharging - the humanoids are capable of changing their own batteries, making their presence in production almost independent of humans.

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

THE EPSTEIN LATEST: a question for DOJ DAG Todd Blanche: did he know about the Epstein-Maxwell exchanges before his Maxwell interview? (The FBI had gone through the files after all.) And if not, why not? And is she going to enjoy the spoils of a prison "camp" and other benefits, after all this?

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)
