@CollinRugg He's sitting in the Godfather seat with a great view of the room/door. I'm sure if he saw something that he would move. Plus there's 500 people between him and commotion. Don't sit with back to entrance in little Italy.

Man who went viral for remaining in his seat as he ate food during the WH Correspondents' Dinner shooting says he didn't want his new tux on the dirty Hilton floor.
He also said he is from New York, so he hears sirens and activity all the time.
"I’m a New Yorker. We live with sirens and activity happening all the time," Michael Glantz, an agent at Creative Artists Agency, said.
"I wasn’t scared. There are hundreds of Secret Service agents hurtling themselves over tables and chairs, and I wanted to watch."
"First of all, I have a bad back. I couldn’t get on the floor, and if I did get on the floor, they’d have to bring in people to get me off the floor. And No. 2, I’m a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor. It was not happening."

I won't be buying any new vehicle with this 4th Amendment Commie AI feature. Republicans voted for this too...Uniparty at its worst. I look forward to a SCOTUS ruling on this anti-American tech soon. This is why Congress has a favorability rating lower than used toilet paper.

When they say it’s for safety, remember the guy whose van wouldn’t move out the way of a truck because he don’t have his indicator on. His lane assist came on and he couldn’t get it to move back into his lane

Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

How astonishing is it that the President, Vice President, and all eight officials in the line of succession were gathered in the same ballroom at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — yet the Secret Service didn’t give the event top priority?
It turns out that the event lacked highest-level protection.
This failure demands an immediate and independent investigation and full accountability.
Our government’s first duty is to protect the chain of command — not treat it like just another black-tie party.

WOW 🚨 Iran was searching for the new Donald Trump assassin’s name “Cole Tomas Allen” this morning, before the assassination attempt happened
Google has just scrubbed this data and is now no longer allowing results for Iran with the assassin’s name
This is a coverup
English
@LeoFeldmanNEWS Yeah, they need to build that white house, ballroom
English
Something I noticed even before coming into the #WHCADinner was that the security was only outside the ballroom inside, not outside the building. So the entrance of the building did not have a security machine only guards, you only went through the screening before the ballroom. @Newsweek

@CurtisHouck @whca She now made it about herself. And attacks on journalists. she should probably just shut up, go home. Embarrassing

CNN's SE Cupp, chronically miserable and stricken with TDS, on the #WHCD, says "Trump wants us dead, figuratively"...
"[The @WHCA] made it real easy for him to attend. And I, you know, glad to see everyone's in great spirits. And this is a party. I'm real bummed. Real bummed about tonight. because here's what's happening tonight. Journalism is throwing a party. Journalism is celebrating journalism at this party. Journalism, for some reason, invited Brendan Carr, FCC chair, who is threatening to revoke the licenses of broadcast networks. Pete Hegseth, who removed journalists from the Pentagon, and Donald Trump, who attacks us on the regular. Now, they're giving Donald Trump a speaking position to roast us to our faces for an hour. And he doesn't have to stay for the part where we celebrate journalism and give out awards to journalists and talk about the importance of free speech. And here's the kicker: we broadcast it on national TV. He could not have planned this scenario better. And guess what? He didn't. We did. Journalism planned this scenario for Donald Trump. So, if I'm Donald Trump, of course, I come under these conditions. And you just heard Brian Stelter say that the correspondents association was trying to sort of mend some fences with a guy who wants us dead, figuratively, figuratively. He wants journalism dead. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I don't think this is a great night for journalism. It's a night that's meant to be celebrating it, but I think it's a real bummer."

It's not a wise choice no matter how you slice it. BUT I read somewhere that a car dealer hosted his draft party and gifted him the two cars.
To the larger point in terms of cultural difference: Jeff George, the No. 1 pick in the 1990 NFL Draft. His dad was a high school teacher and baseball coach. His mom a grade-school secretary. Lived in a very modest home on the far eastside of Indianapolis. Shag carpet in the living room. The entire neighborhood gentrified black over the course of 30 years. Jeff's dad (mom died of cancer in 2010) moved out of that house two years ago. They raised three boys in that house and never wanted to leave it despite Jeff's willingness and desire to move them somewhere "nice." His parents never wanted to be a burden and always an asset.
I use the George family as an example because I witnessed this with my own eyes.
Some people see the NFL draft as a family/friends winning lottery ticket from God. Other people see it as another blessing God bestowed on their child.

🚨🚨THIS IS INSANE🚨🚨 #Chiefs 29th overall pick Peter Woods purchased multiple Maserati SUVs for his mother & sister last night after he was drafted. Woods spent $200,000+ on the cars. Peter will only make 2.4 million per year after taxes. 😳😳😳

SHOULD SNAP RECIPIENTS BE ABLE TO BUY ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
This is an actual debate happening right now. A group of lawmakers has introduced legislation that would allow recipients to purchase hot rotisserie chickens with their benefits. Currently they are only able to buy cooked rotisserie chickens once they have been cooled down.
Your Thoughts?

Post Malone is the worst thing that has happened to country music.
I’ll be listening to some Hank Jr. and suddenly Apple Music thinks the next song I want to listen to is a curse-laden rap song because Post Malone did a song with him one time.
Make it stop.

@bitchuneedsoap Can we vote? I vote for go to trial. But you would need to a honest judge and prosecutor to give that gift of transparency to taxpayers. No change in regime also to help prevent lost evidence. Great article.

SPLC is in a legal box with no clean exit.
To defeat the donor fraud charges, they have to argue the informant program was legitimate intelligence work coordinated with federal law enforcement. Bryan Fair already said that on video on April 21st.
But the moment that's the defense, three new problems open:
Donors did not give money to fund FBI-coordinated intelligence operations. Class action exposure on the actual basis of the donor relationship.
501(c)(3) status doesn't cover serving as a federal intelligence contractor. Tax exemption becomes contestable.
Admitting FBI coordination validates exactly the Grassley-Patel-HJC finding that SPLC was feeding the FBI taxonomies used to target American religious communities.
The traditional escape hatch in a case like this is graymail. SPLC threatens to expose FBI coordination in discovery. DOJ backs off to protect FBI secrets.
Except this DOJ wants that exposure. Patel severed the FBI-SPLC relationship in October. Grassley released documents in June. The Weaponization Working Group is already mapping this. Exposing FBI wrongdoing under the prior administration is a feature, not a cost.
The graymail doesn't work because the target doesn't want to protect what you're threatening to expose.
Which means SPLC's options narrow to:
Plead to narrower charges and accept reputational collapse
Go to trial and have the whole operation documented in the public record
Drag proceedings out hoping for a political reversal before donor class actions and state AG investigations land
There's no fourth door.

If SPLC was running paid informants inside violent extremist groups, and SPLC was sharing that intelligence with the FBI, and SPLC's "hate group" designations were showing up in internal FBI memos targeting American religious communities… At what point did SPLC stop being an advocacy organization and start being an intelligence contractor? The indictment unsealed on April 21st describes an informant program that ran from 2014 to 2023. $3 million. Eight informants. Leading figures inside the KKK, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party. One was the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America. Another was in the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right. SPLC's own CEO said on video that the intel went to federal law enforcement. Sen. Grassley spent 2023-2025 documenting how SPLC's hate group designations were cited in at least 14 internal FBI intelligence products. One of them, the Richmond memo, proposed FBI source development inside parishes where Latin Mass is celebrated. They interviewed a priest. A choir director. An internal FBI email Grassley obtained: "our overreliance on the SPLC for hate designation is problematic." Two streams of information. One endpoint. The FBI was receiving input on American threats from a 501(c)(3) that was paying people inside the KKK. And using that input to propose surveillance of Catholic parishes. That's an outsourced intelligence operation that nobody voted for and nobody audited. The fraud indictment is the floor of this story.

Americans are saying we need to normalize just leaving if the prices are too high
Stop paying and just say no and leave
This woman went to KFC. She wanted chicken tenders, no sides, no drink. Just 6 chicken tenders
The price was $20. She said no and left
I’ve added the price into this video for each count
Prices in America are out of control
KFC’s largest stock holders are BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and JPMorgan
