I’ve listened to Steve Deace’s latest podcast arguing Bill and Hillary Clinton must be arrested. He compares their Epstein files subpoena to Steve Bannon’s arrest for ignoring a Jan 6th subpoena. But there’s no equivalency here—these situations are completely different.

Okay. So we self immolated ourselves on the international stage so we could keep the defense framework we established with Greenland 70 years ago.

Sick.

Several things strike me about Martin Luther King Jr.‘s 1964 Oslo speech. First: the civil rights movement was still fighting for its goals when he accepted the prize. He likely felt it came too early—that he didn’t deserve it yet.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Same for Reform here.
Every single piece of punditry about 2024, left liberal conservative alike, all gloss over that it is extremely clear Trump’s winning margin was provided by people who had no idea what’s going on

If you're wondering why you haven't seen any white supremacist groups showing up to protest the protesters in cities where I.C.E. is terrorizing people, it's because they're already there.

I want to talk about something that’s been bothering me. Over the last 6-7 months, I’ve started reading the Bible again and praying. The years I spent avoiding it were mostly about avoiding people and groups, due to the heavy politicization I encountered in churches between 2012-2014.

This is a real threat and if he thinks there will be no repercussions from NATO, they could dump outr treasury bonds and collapse the dollar.
I never thought about the fact that NATO and Canada can dump Treasury bonds and sink us. Really interesting. And a little scary.

Obviously my ideal outcome is a D flip of the Senate but it would be kinda funny if it were 50/50 (the scenario where Dems flip AK, ME, and NC but GOP holds all others, a plausible enough outcome) and Vance has to be in the Senate 24/7 to break ties, putting him in absolute misery.

I remember when the line was you can’t vote for Democrats because they would come and take your guns, stoves, etc. It’s always projection

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Heated rhetoric on the left? The administration called her a domestic terrorist before they even knew what happened… I don’t know how anyone could watch that new cell phone video with the sound up and say the left-wing narrative was destroyed.” 🎯

"They want an excuse to fire on protesters."

"They're looking for a reason to declare martial law. Don't..."

Ah. See, they're already doing and saying whatever they want. They're putting people in camps and murdering people at will.

Our behavior doesn't drive theirs.

We are starting to get info about the gun assaults by ICE terrorists in Portland.

Now we hear that the victims weren’t using their vehicle as a weapon. (We, of course, KNEW that was a lie.)

ICE terrorists shot them INSIDE AN ICE VEHICLE.

We need names of the assailants. And jail.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Kellogg: Zelensky is a tough son of a b*tch. He's stubborn. He has his opinion. He's unafraid to say that. He knows how to use media. We in the United States have not seen a leader like him since Abraham Lincoln.

This is the plan.
Take over major cities. Cause chaos and violence. Bring in even more federal agents to “suppress” violence.

Get folks scared to disrupt by killing a few activists here and there.

Man the polls with armed troops or “postpone” the ‘26 election entirely because of chaos and violence.

And, yes, of course, there are people within the movement that are fine with or even support this. That is true. But, with each indefensible move by the Trump admin, they lose some support. And, due to the story *they* sold, the Epstein files and Good's killing have loomed largest in eroding that.
