@MarioNawfal Time for Fox to bring back "24”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance: What if Iran developed nuclear suicide vests "You talk about people who blow up the vest and a couple of people get killed. What happens when the vest can kill many, many tens of thousands of people?" x.com/BulwarkOnline/…

@SenFettermanPA @KurtSchlichter You should go independent if not Republican.

Here in Philadelphia. Truly appalling. These assholes chanting for the death of our servicemembers. Where’s the Dem outrage and condemnation?

@catturd2 I was surprised Netflix allowed it. So much truth about energy.

Today, I watched the first four episodes of Landman season 1. I laughed so hard all day. Not only is it hilarious, it’s serious at the same time. Soooo good.

@awstar11 @KurtSchlichter Also to consume funding that Obama signed off on as Florida said no thank you.

The intent of the "high speed rail project" was never to connect SF to LA, it was to line the pockets of connected lawyers, contractors, and activists who got rich ensuring it never happed. This is how this grift works.

@Traveler2236 I watched this show as reruns. The Berlin Wall had fallen and MSM was hawking "Murphy Brown" so it was easier to see what The Wonder Years was up to.

This scene from (Wonderyears) is pretty wild. If you're too young, you're too young, but this is incredible. What you are watching is an 80s democrat culture making a scene in a show to demonstrate and propagandize its people to vote democrat. However, that didn't go well because they went so far to make this scene as realistic as possible, but they also in the process illuminated the other side being normal thinking people. The democrats exposed themselves, and in the future (NOW), you and I relate more to a classical liberal than a republican or democrat. Brutal.

@TheMaineWonk First of all, Americans for Tax Fairness is a bunch of Marxists. So why trust anything they say?

What do you think these Billionaire Oligarchs are buying for $433,000,000? I’m sure it’s influencing policy to help working class Americans. It’s an oligarchy.

@Kasparov63 Because Trump doesn't fall for setups for future gotchas. Democrats and the press tried it with Trump not condemning MBS as he knew we had to live with a relationship with the Saudi regardless. Later. Biden was fist-bumping MBS. Zero upside to calling Putin a war criminal.

Trump's inability to ever criticize Putin runs down through his entire administration. Putin is an indicted war criminal, period. It's not a difficult question, unless you know your boss isn't allowed to say it either.

The Real Reason Why Europe Won't Fight: It's Not About the War When the EU's foreign policy chief declared that the conflict in the Middle East was not Europe's war, she was not making a strategic assessment. She was making a domestic one. The Strait of Hormuz carries a fifth of the world's energy supplies. Daily Gulf oil exports have collapsed by sixty per cent in a fortnight. Germany is facing an energy price shock. Rachel Reeves is watching her fiscal headroom evaporate in real time. France is warning of inflation. These are not countries for whom Middle Eastern stability is an abstract concern. They are countries whose economies depend on that shipping lane remaining open. The idea that protecting it is not their war is not a foreign policy position. It is a fiction maintained for a domestic audience. The domestic audience in question is not hard to identify. Every government that has refused Trump's request shares the same political constraint. Germany has over five million residents of Muslim background. France has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe. Britain has communities whose political representatives spent the past fortnight marching under Khamenei's portrait toward Downing Street. The calculation being made in London, Berlin and Brussels is not about international law or strategic prudence. It is about which communities those governments cannot afford to antagonise and what those communities might do if they felt their governments had taken the wrong side. Not our war means not on our streets. The foreign policy is being written by the demographics. Trump named it with characteristic bluntness. "Britain used to be the Rolls-Royce of allies", he said. Then he described his phone call with Starmer, in which the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom told the President of the United States that he needed to consult his team before deciding whether to send minesweepers. Minesweepers. Not troops. Not bombers. Not a declaration of war. Minesweepers to keep open a shipping lane that Britain's own economy depends on. Trump's response was precise: you don't need to meet with your team. You're the Prime Minister. You can make up your own mind. That exchange tells you everything about the state of British leadership that a thousand opinion columns cannot. The humanitarian statement on Lebanon follows the same logic. Britain, Canada, France, Germany and Italy issued a joint warning to Israel about its ground operations against Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy that has spent decades arming itself to destroy the Jewish state and that attacked Israel the moment Khamenei was killed. The statement called for immediate de-escalation. It described the humanitarian situation as deeply alarming. It said a significant ground offensive must be averted. Not one word about the organisation that started the war, built the tunnels, fired the rockets and continues to operate with Iranian funding and Iranian weapons. The language of humanitarianism is being applied selectively, and the selection follows the same demographic logic as everything else. This is the pattern that has defined the Western European response to this entire crisis. Not principle. Not strategy. Not law. A set of Left-wing governments that have spent twenty-five years building electoral coalitions that now constrain their ability to act in their own national interest. They cannot send ships because of who lives in their cities. They cannot back Israel because of who votes in their constituencies. They cannot name Hezbollah as the aggressor because of who marches in their streets. The Strait of Hormuz is closing and the Rolls-Royce of allies needs to consult its team. This is what the long march through the institutions has produced. Not our war. Just our problem. "Trump's response was precise: you don't need to meet with your team. You're the Prime Minister. You can make up your own mind."

@JamieBonkiewicz @nedryun Because the people vote for them.

FBI agents have to retire at 57, air traffic controllers at 56, and pilots at 65. But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.

@johnkonrad Remember when he was hoping Kim Jung Un might give him a beautiful vase?

What of they are giving us Kharg Island? Why would they suddenly be so cooperative? There aren’t many theories out there where this makes any sense… but my sources suggest it may be true.

This is the first of a handful of articles coming up looking at the fall from grace by Robert Mueller as a result of his time at the head of the Special Counsel's Office. More articles on this subject over the next couple of weeks. Link in next panel down.

@TheMaineWonk And Bernie and other Dems want Medicare for all which will cause Social Insurance liability to multiply.

‼️US TREASURY: TRUMP ECONOMY IS INSOLVENT Treasury Data: Assets $6.06T Liabilities $47.78T = -$41.72 TRILLION Fed Debt + $2 TRILLION to $30.33T Social insurance + $10.1T to $88.4T Total obligations: $136T Total GDP: $31.4T

“The mistake is to think that natural resources are fixed gifts of nature and that economic life is therefore a grim contest over a pile that can only shrink as population grows. That view sounds sober. It is, in fact, blind to the central truth of human progress. Resources are not simply things lying in the ground. Resources are matter plus knowledge.”

@Kasparov63 wow that's bs. Steve Bannon does not set policy. It's great that ICE can be used as an alternative to Democrats holding air travel hostage.

Anyone who thought creating the largest internal security force in the country, answering only to the president, was for anything else hasn’t been paying attention.

@BarackObama In other words you want the ACA to be the trojan horse for single payer. The actuarially bankrupt Medicare multiplied many times over.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

@SenMarkKelly @Kasparov63 Fund DHS without strings and maybe it will make it to the floor.

If you’re writing the laws, you shouldn’t be playing the market. This is basic stuff. I have a bill that finally bans members of Congress from trading stocks. No loopholes. No exceptions.

@nicksortor @LeaderJohnThune Punchbowl News or Politico article from 5 anonymous Republican senators about how unreasonable Trump is being in 3, 2, 1....

@cenkuygur here you go x.com/i/status/20361…

Trump says we had great talks with Iran. Iran says there were no such talks. There’s some chance Trump made that up to calm the markets. But there’s also some chance his advisers told Trump there were talks to appease him. The president living in an alternate reality is not good.

@TheMaineWonk They tried to hold ICE hostage. They tried to get cover up the ACA mess. Democrats are completely responsible for the immigration mess and the ACA mess. Now they're creating a transportation mess.

Senate Dems tried to fund TSA 7 times—to pay agents & get travelers processed timely. Senate GOP blocked it every time. Senate made deal to fund DHS now & fund ICE via reconciliation & TRUMP killed it. Just like the immigration bill in 2024. GOP realized playing politics wasn’t working, decided to compromise & Trump won’t let them. Trump can’t govern & won’t let Congress do its job. He owns this.

@cenkuygur @AGDugin whole bunch of crazy assumptions to reach your conclusion.
