@sunQ_osrs @KonstantinKisin George Floyd was a bouncer at a Minneapolis nightclub with local thugs under surveillance by the Feds. When Covid hit poor George was out of a job and resorted to using the counterfeit 20’s being laundered there. Feds couldn’t have their cover blown so bye bye Georgie.

@KonstantinKisin George Floyd has nothing to do with this. He was an innocent man just trying to make a living, brutally murdered by police for being black.
English
Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.
George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.
Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.
And we all know why.
During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.
They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.
And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.
This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.
This needs to stop.

@parker1313 @DylanByers Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen this episode! No fucking wonder Anderson Cooper left 60 Minutes... Bari Weiss is an embarrassment to real news.
Maybe I'm late to the game but I'll be boycotting CBS from now on
English
NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:
"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.
Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.
In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.
Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.
The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.
To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery.
While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation.
She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more.
We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.

@laralogan I'll just keep sharing this suggestion on how to take our congress back:
x.com/kwick2k/status…
Keith Wick@kwick2k
The parties are the problem. Every two years, the entire house, and 1/3 of the senate, are up for reelection. This means every two years, there is a new congress. The day after the election results are in, every lobbyist from every organization knows exactly which senators and representatives to target. They know who will chair, and be on, the committees relevant to their interests. This is because every senator & representative is a chess piece, whose rank is determined by a combination of party seniority & party platform loyalty. Term limits don't fix this. The solution is to turn those chamber member chess pieces into checkers, every member an equal, and take the parties out of the committee selection process. On Day One of a new congress going to session, each chamber makes all committee appointments via lottery. Every member, regardless of party affiliation, is eligible. Any member who declines serving on the committee they've been drawn for becomes ineligible for all committees during the two year duration of said congress. Committee chairs would be chosen by lottery within the committee. Declining a chairmanship carries no penalty. This accomplishes five important things: 1. Lobbyists don't know who to target. 2. Voters can vote for the best candidate, because without seniority, incumbency becomes much less relevant. 3. Third party members get to be a real voice for their constituencies, by having a chance to serve on, and chair, important committees. 4. Senators & representatives put the people of their states & districts ahead of their political parties. 5. Congress is restored to the people, and the parties are weakened. At this moment, America needs the republicans to be an 800 pound gorilla to stop the rampaging rabid 800 pound gorilla that the democrats have become, but when the dust settles, both monsters need to be caged.

@ShawnNe1 @RepNancyMace Oh this the part where you start telling me all your gay sex fantasies and think it owns me? You folks love that.

Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.
We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens. This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.
The people writing America's laws, confirming America's judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country.
For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first. We see it every day. This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.

@KyleCrabbs Is the South Florida heat a home field advantage anymore? Don’t the Dolphins practice in a climate controlled bubble? It’s not like the old days when they practiced two and three a days in the summer heat. Same holds true for teams in the cold.

So apparently Jill and I are on a plane to China with Trump, Elon Musk, half the Cabinet, and a collection of CEOs whose combined net worth could probably refinance the moon.
Totally normal day for Gen X.
And I just can’t stop laughing at how the media spent YEARS telling us:
- China hated Elon
- Trump was “finished”
- America was collapsing
- capitalism was dead
- and everybody important was abandoning the U.S.
Meanwhile, here we are somewhere over the Pacific looking like the cast of Succession meets Top Gun: Retirement Plan Edition.
Remember when China sanctioned Marco Rubio back in 2020 and everybody acted like the geopolitical chessboard had permanently shifted?
Now suddenly everybody’s still showing up to the table because — shocking development — nations tend to like:
- money
- technology
- manufacturing
- trade
- AI
- energy
- semiconductors
- and not being economically irrelevant
Who knew.
The best part is the internet meltdown cycle never changes.
Trump:
“America needs stronger trade relationships.”
Media:
“HITLER.”
Elon:
“I make electric cars, rockets, satellites, AI, and robots.”
Internet activists:
“Yeah but we posted an angry hashtag.”
Cool.
I’m sure Beijing is trembling before your TikTok resistance movement.
And flying with this group is exactly what you think it would be.
Trump walks around the cabin narrating reality like it’s an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Geopolitical:
“Great flight. Powerful people. Very high IQ. The Chinese are saying they’ve never seen anything like it.”
Elon looks like he hasn’t slept since 2019 and is simultaneously calculating orbital trajectories and wondering if the beverage cart could be automated.
Meanwhile Jill and I are sitting there like two exhausted Gen Xers who survived dial-up internet, chain-smoking restaurants, lawn darts, and drinking from garden hoses… wondering how in the hell we became side characters in the weirdest timeline imaginable.
Honestly, at this point if Trump walked into Beijing blasting “Danger Zone” while Elon live-streamed it from orbit, I wouldn’t even blink.
Because the people who told us America was over are still tweeting from iPhones, driving Teslas, using Starlink during hurricanes, and cashing checks tied to the same capitalist machine they claim to hate.
Gen X translation:
The world’s still running.
The adults are still making deals.
And the internet is still confusing hashtags for accomplishments.
Carry on.

Actress Sharon Stone has an IQ of 154, making her a "genius." 😂 ... She says Trump voters are uneducated hicks. "Hell, they don't even have passports." As if a passport makes you smart.

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.
Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.
Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.
Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.
They conquered until they collapsed.
America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.
And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Almost unprecedented?
It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.
The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.
It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.
America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.
That’s not policy.
That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.
You’re being told a story right now.
That America is the villain of history.
You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.
The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.
And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”
Probably right.
China has historically built walls, not fleets.
But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.
We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.
AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.
If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?
The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?
Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.
Billions lifted out of poverty.
All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.
And carries no guarantee of being repeated.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was what it didn’t do after.
