Ahhh!!! The DDL's The Designated Liars!!!! Swalwell is one of many!!! You go @MarcelaMarjean The @ScottAdamsSays School is back in session tomorrow morning!!! Bring a vessel of any kind.
jay plemons@jayplemons

Marcela drops a fresh theory on The Scott Adams School: How Swalwell and the other "Designated Liars" get picked to tell the Democrats’ biggest lies. @MarcelaMarjean "They were being blackmailed. The only reason that this all came out now is because they didn't need him anymore. So the truth comes out." @OwenGregorian "I see it in a Mafia frame: the boss wants to stay isolated and protected, so they don't fire the gun or take the guy out back themselves. They need somebody to do it, so they find someone expendable, someone they have dirt on, or someone not in their good graces. They say, 'That's your job now. You have no choice. Do it or face bad consequences.'"

@patriot_savvy @TPUSA @MrsErikaKirk @VP Ten years ago my husband and I moved to Athens from Southern California because California was heading in a direction we did not like. I have been wondering lately if we chose unwisely.

For all of the positives about Georgia, we do have an embarrassing dark side & they descended upon Athens, GA yesterday. This makes me so sick and embarrassed. @TPUSA , @MrsErikaKirk , & @VP As a born and raised Georgian, this is not how we are raised nor how we raise our children. I am deeply sorry.

@BullyEsq @AmandaMilius Didn’t he also have a dustup with Elon last year? President Trump should just threaten Jerome Powell with a visit from his Enforcer.

Seven sentences. Five audiences. Every word is a weapon aimed at a different target. This is the most compressed piece of strategic signaling in the history of social media diplomacy. On April 15, Trump posted: “China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them, also - And the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran. President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks. We are working together smartly, and very well! Doesn’t that beat fighting??? BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to - far better than anyone else!!!” Decode every sentence. “I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz.” The blockade is not a blockade. It is a service. Trump reframes the entire operation from aggression to provision. The navy enforcing interdiction is now the navy “opening” the strait. And “permanently” signals to oil markets, Asian importers, and Iran that the US intends to remain the guarantor of Hormuz transit indefinitely. Not as leverage. As architecture. “I am doing it for them, also - And the World.” China imports over 50 percent of its energy through Hormuz. Trump positions the blockade as a gift to Beijing. The country whose Iranian oil he just cut off is now the beneficiary. Bessent said hours earlier: “They can get oil. Not Iranian oil.” Trump completes the sentence: and I am the one making sure they can. “This situation will never happen again.” A doctrine in five words. The Hormuz crisis, Iran’s closure, the tolls, the mines, the 46 days of disruption will not recur because the United States is establishing permanent enforcement. No treaty. No negotiation. A unilateral declaration of perpetual chokepoint control posted on Truth Social. “They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran.” Unverified. China’s MFA called the arms reports “entirely fabricated” hours earlier. But the sentence forces Beijing into a trap. If China confirms, it concedes publicly. If China denies, it implies the weapons were under consideration. Silence reads as confirmation. Every response validates the claim. The rhetorical structure is designed to be unfalsifiable in real time. “President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks.” The May 14 to 15 summit confirmed in the most disarming language possible. “Big, fat, hug” humanizes the relationship for domestic audiences while signaling to Beijing that Trump views the summit as a victory lap. The framing shapes expectations before a single agenda item is discussed. “Doesn’t that beat fighting???” The carrot. Three audiences: To China, cooperation beats confrontation. To Americans, this president ended a war with a deal. To Iran, fighting is the alternative and you are losing. “BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to - far better than anyone else!!!” The stick. The hug is conditional. The cooperation is optional. The carrier strike group is not. The same paragraph offers peace and threatens war, and both are credible because the blockade proves both simultaneously. One post. Seven sentences. Five audiences: China, Iran, domestic voters, oil markets, and the May summit negotiating table. Every word measured. Every ambiguity deliberate. Every claim unfalsifiable in the window that matters. Trump did not write a tweet. He wrote a treaty draft disguised as a social media post.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sec. Scott Bessent just said that because Iran BOMBED Gulf neighbors, those countries are suddenly opening up Iranian regime BANK accounts to Treasury So he can FREEZE their assets! Checkmate playing out. 🔥 "What may prove to be FATAL mistakes the Iranians made was bombing their [Gulf] NEIGHBORS." "Who are now willing to be much more transparent in terms of the funds, or do a deeper dive in investigating the funds that are held within their banking systems." "So, we have pushed out to them the request that we want to freeze more funds of the leadership of the IRGC and any members of Iranian leadership." "The other thing that we have done is we have told companies, we have told countries that if you are buying Iranian oil, that if Iranian money is sitting in your banks, we are now willing to apply secondary sanctions, which is a very stern measure." "The Iranians should know that this is going to be the FINANCIAL equivalent of what we saw in the KINETIC activities." Bessent is an economic ASSASSIN. 🇺🇸

🚨 WOW! Even SPEAKER JOHNSON is responding to Pope Leo on the Iran war — and he nailed it "If you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response." "It is a VERY well-settled matter of Christian theology. There's something called the Just War Doctrine." "The fact that you had the nation that was the largest sponsor of terrorism now having had that ability taken away from them. That means potentially millions of innocent people will be able to keep their lives and not be killed by terrorists." "That's a good thing. That's what's come out of this." "So I don't want to engage in a theological debate with the Pope." "I certainly respect the Pope. I would just say that these are matters that people of good faith and good sense can debate and think through, and I think that's what that reflects."

#1) Michael Atkinson moved from DOJ-NSD, into the position as Intelligence Community Inspector General. Find out who told Trump to make Atkinson ICIG in May 2018, and you will have identified the SPECIFIC PERSON, inside the Trump administration working to remove Trump. #2) As the Mueller narrative collapsed, and after DOJ Rod Rosenstein had exhausted his ability to assist, someone told President Trump to nominate Bill Barr as Attorney General. Find out who told Trump to make Barr the AG and you will have identified the SPECIFIC PERSON, potentially inside the Trump administration - at least giving the illusion therein- working to remove Trump. The date of the #2 recommendation is pictured below. I wasn't present, so I can't ID the exact moment, but this 👇 is when Barr was recommended. [cc: @EricTrump @DanScavino @TulsiGabbard, no one else is trustworthy on this.]

Bill Maher: “I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000. They've burned 18,000 churches. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?”

Stephen Miller could HARDLY keep it together when Jesse Watters asked if President Trump had been following the Swalwell saga. MILLER: “Why, has he had a bad week Jesse? I haven’t been watching.” [Bursts out into laughter] Then Miller dropped what he said is the single most important part of the entire story — and it leaves the Democrat Party completely exposed. MILLER: “The most important part about this story, and look, Swalwell is a scumbag, he is a terrible person, the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low, the most dishonest of the most dishonest…” “But the real story here is how the Democrat party controls its members through blackmail.” “It’s got a blackmail file on all of its politicians and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it.” “That is how sick and twisted the Democrat party is.” “That’s the next thread we have to pull out here.”

🚨 SEC. MARCO RUBIO JUST MADE HISTORY! He got Israel and Lebanon to sit down at the table to discuss peace, directly, for the first time in multiple DECADES This guy does his job well. 🇺🇸 RUBIO, center of room: "This is about bringing a permanent end to 20 or 30 years of Hezbollah's influence in this part of the world, and not just the damage it's inflicted on Israel, the damage it's inflicted on the Lebanese people!" "We have to remember the Lebanese people are victims of Hezbollah. The Lebanese people are victims of Iranian aggression. And this needs to stop." "And so our hope here, and I know this will be a process, all of the complexities of this matter are not going to be resolved in the next 6 hours, but we can begin to move forward and create the framework where something can happen, something very positive, something very permanent, so that the people of Lebanon can have the kind of future they deserve." "This will take time. But we believe it is worth this endeavor. It is a historic gathering that we hope to build on." "And the hope today is that we can outline the framework upon which a permanent and lasting peace can be developed, so that, as I said, the people of Israel can live in peace, and the people of Lebanon can live not just in peace, but the prosperity and security that they deserve."

43% of young American college grads (22–27) are now underemployed — the highest rate since the pandemic. They’re nannying, working as baristas, and taking retail sales jobs that don’t require a degree. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of OPT students keep landing the exact same entry-level STEM and tech roles — with employer tax breaks and no American-worker-first rules. H-1B lottery + OPT extensions = outsourcing American opportunity. AI is already freezing the job market for U.S. grads. Why are we still flooding it with foreign students on taxpayer-subsidized visas? This isn’t a talent shortage. It’s engineered displacement. American STEM grads first. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #OPT #H1B #AmericanJobs #Underemployment

I was raped when I was fourteen.
 That single sentence still tastes like iron and ash in my mouth every time I say it. It carved something permanent into my nervous system…the bone-deep knowledge that power plus opportunity equals predation. So when I watch the very men and women who write the laws that bind the rest of us turn out to be the same fucking predators, using congressional slush funds…our money…to buy the silence of the girls they rape and assault, my rage isn’t performative. It’s cellular. These are not “bad apples.” These are pathological specimens of the highest order: narcissistic sociopaths whose criminogenic profiles read like a textbook on elite sexual offending. Grooming, coercion, post-assault financial domination…classic power-based predation wrapped in the armor of legislative immunity. They don’t just commit the crimes; they legislate the cover-up. They draft the statutes that govern consent, reporting timelines, and statute-of-limitations while simultaneously ensuring their own victims can be paid off with taxpayer dollars and buried under NDAs thicker than the Constitution they swore to uphold. That is not hypocrisy. That is institutionalized sadism. It is the deliberate weaponization of the social contract against the most vulnerable. And the blackest part? They refuse…categorically refuse…to release the names of the congress members who have drained that secret fund. They hide behind procedural fig leaves while the rest of us are expected to live under the laws they carve out with the same hands that signed the checks to their victims. That isn’t governance. That is racketeering with a gavel. It is a criminal enterprise operating inside the very chamber that claims moral supremacy over the rest of the republic. I don’t want thoughts and prayers. I do not want fucking sympathy either. I don’t want another blue-ribbon panel. I want the names. I want the receipts. I want every single one of these legislative rapists stripped of office, stripped of pension, stripped of the illusion that their pathology entitles them to rule over the daughters of citizens they view as disposable. Because if the people who make the law are allowed to rape with impunity and then tax us to keep their mouths shut, then the law itself is just another instrument of violation. I survived once.
 This country doesn’t get to tell me I have to survive its lawmakers too.
 Not anymore.
Release the fucking names.
 Or admit that the United States Congress is running a protected pedophile-and-rapist welfare program on the public dime. 💀🔪🩸

🚨 HAL LAMBERT JUST CALLED IT OUT "David Axelrod goes and visits Pope Leo...all of a sudden, now Pope Leo is out attacking Trump and the policies of the United States and Israel." "Axelrod is the chief strategist for Obama. The Pope was saying he's not political. Why is he meeting with the chief strategist for both Obama's campaign and in the White House?" "Let me ask you this. When Iran killed 30,000 plus of their own citizens, he didn't call out the Iranian regime at all. He said, we need to stop violence." "That was very milquetoast. That wasn't calling out the Iranian regime, and yet he's calling out the United States and Israel." "This is all about trying to hurt President Trump's Catholic vote during the midterms and Republicans are in the midterms." "You have three cardinals come out today attacking the immigration policy. This is all about trying to get the Catholic vote against Trump."
