@amyblance2000 @BillKristol This is good but it’s missing the best 86 line from Leaving Las Vegas with the bar tender and Nicolas Cage.

@BillKristol 🚨I asked Grok if the term “86” has ever been used in any mob/gangster film to mean “kill” … and to no one’s surprise … 👇🏼
Grok@grok
No, after checking scripts and references from classic mobster/gangster films (Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, Scarface, etc.), "86" isn't used in dialogue to mean "kill." It's mainly restaurant/bar slang for "remove/out of stock" since the 1930s, sometimes loosely extended to "dispose of." The mob-kill link is urban legend, not reflected in actual movie scripts— they use "whack," "hit," "clip," etc.

Don’t 86 this tweet. Retweet it.

@dmweisberger @CollegeMama5 @RobertKennedyJr While additives in food is an issue. The main reason you can go on vacation and not experience gastro issues and not gain weight is because 1) you are being much more active and 2) anxiety and stress is the main cause of acid reflux and gastro discomfort.

I just spent 2 incredible weeks in Italy and it is so frustrating to come back to the U.S… How is it possible @RobertKennedyJr that the Italian food supply is so vastly superior. I literally ate bread at every meal, dessert multiple times per day, and generally ate way more than I do in the U.S. Not once did I have acid reflux. Not one headache, no digestive problems, and I didn’t gain any weight. If I ate the same way in the U.S. (I used to at times) I would have gone through a full bottle of Tums and Advil just to get through the day… WHY does the U.S. allow glyphosate in wheat, high fructose corn syrup in food and who knows what in our milk products? The difference in quality of life in Italy vs the U.S. is staggering from their common sense (anti corporate) food regulation. WHY aren’t more people upset about this? The U.S. is the richest country in the world and we eat like one of the poorest.

@EWErickson Oh, I’m sorry, is the media now not allowed to be critical of the President because it may incite a lunatic to violence? It doesn’t work that way.

I forgot about the attempted assassination of OMB Director Russell Vought.
Erick Erickson@EWErickson
What we have are: •The assassination of Charlie Kirk. •Two assassination attempts on Donald Trump by known progressives, plus a third in Butler, PA, where the kid was clearly mentally ill. •The attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh. •The attempted assassination of Josh Shapiro and his family. •The attack upon the Alvaredo, Texas ICE facility that left a local police officer wounded. •The attack upon the McAllen, Texas ICE facility that left three officers injured. •The attack on the Dallas, Texas ICE facility that left one dead and others critically wounded. •And what CNN calls “Rep. Steve Scalise shot,” which was actually a mass assassination attempt on 24 Republican members of Congress, in which 4 people, including Congressman Scalise, were shot by James Hodgkinson. ewerickson.substack.com/p/the-lefts-as…

@BenSasse @RadioFreeTom @Mike_Pence And just like that, you ruined the positive messages you had been sending by perpetuating the idea that Pence didn’t actually make the courageous choice to stand up for the country against MAGA lies. Disgraceful to the end, I guess.

@tomcolicchio I guess his bone spurs were bad enough to not be in the military but not so bad the he could have been a pro athlete. 🤷

@EWErickson Either the president is an idiot or he thinks his supporters are. The truth is both and some people are intent on proving that.

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next.
Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades.
George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks.
The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order.
No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide.
A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute.
The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.
The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it.
