Yesterday, Adam from South Dakota called my SiriusXM show to say Charlie Kirk was unalived b/c people on the left use words like racism or facism to describe folks like Charlie.
That call did not end the way he thought it would.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.
Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.
Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.
For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress.

To any potential reviewers: when I publish our emperor penguin tracks I want you to know that kids gave our penguins names like Big Mac Turbo 2000, Sparkles, & Golden Princess. And they will, nonnegotiably, be referred to as such in the paper. Thank you for understanding.
