Looks like X finally got me back into my original account. Let me know if you folks who are following me can see this.

@BrendanCarrFCC Bona fide fake news, yes.

Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows. Disney argues that The View qualifies as “bona fide news” under the law, comparing itself to Meet The Press or Face The Nation. Therefore, Disney argues, it can have one partisan candidate for office on The View while denying equal opportunities to all others. The FCC is now seeking public comment on Disney’s request to be labeled as “bona fide news.” Is The View a “bona fide news interview program”? Under FCC case law, tv shows do not qualify as “bona fide news” if their decisions are based on partisan purposes, such as an intention to advance or harm an individual’s candidacy. As the Public Notice observes, Congress originally passed the equal opportunities law to prevent media gatekeepers from deciding the outcome of elections. The law, even when it applies, does not prohibit anyone from having any candidate appear on any show. Rather, Congress intended it to empower voters with more information and encourage more speech. The FCC welcomes your views: docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm…

@JohnCornyn I voted today......for Ken Paxton.

On the road again, this time to Corpus Christi. Today is the last day of early voting with the runoff election on Tuesday, May 26. Please get out and vote. God bless Texas.

@EricLDaugh Why in the hell has this criminal not been deported yet? I've never seen an illegal alien protected to this degree by the Democrat Party.

🚨 JUST IN: MS-13 illegal alien wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia's human smuggling indictment has been DISMISSED by a HUSSEIN OBAMA activist judge WTF?! This TRASH is laughing in our face while he STILL is not deported. The judicial coup must end. Impeach the judge, appeal and send him to a 3rd world country where he belongs! h/t @BillMelugin_

@capeandcowell @WesternLensman Colbert was CNN with fewer laughs

@WesternLensman Colbert was CNN with a budget

It’s a total mystery why CNN personalities are so devastated by CBS canning Colbert

@fyrebear The offense was not very good last year. I don't know where this idea comes from. The Rockets had the 13th ranked offense out of 30 teams. They were ranked 8th this season. Granted, that was boosted by the 13-4 start, but it doesn't change the fact they were mediocre last year.

@AdamInHTownTX The offense looked better with FVV in the previous year. Now add in KD into the mix. And every core 5 guy being older and better. It will look much better just on that

The #Rockets "identity" is possession maxing through ORBS and limiting turnovers coupled with very physical defense. Everything is built off that initial base layer. A big part of that is FVV & Adams to augment the Rockets young core.

@fyrebear But where does that improvement come from? The personnel will likely be the same aside from the end of the bench. Fred's presence may reduce turnovers, but it'll also result in poor outside shooting(he hit 34.5% of his 3's last year) and a much slower pace.

@AdamInHTownTX If you are saying they have to improve their offensive system, I agree with you there. That is the layer on top of the identity.

I wish I shared your optimism. But I do not see Reed getting any significant playing time given how much Ime depends on Fred. The guy averaged 35.2 minutes last year. That basically leaves a quarter's worth of minutes for Reed. Also, I doubt Ime will go with a dual PG lineup much. He barely did it this season with Reed and Aaron(even though it worked pretty well).

@AdamInHTownTX @HoodiiRockets Reed will get minutes behind FVV and next to FVV. Amen will be just fine in whatever lineup he is in. The real question IMO is Sengun. Is he part of the future? I am not so sure.

@fyrebear The game slows down in the postseason and you face other teams just as good at maximizing possessions. The key then is what do you do with those possessions? And Ime's lazy ISO offense simply won't work in 2026. Also, his defense is overrated without Dillon around.

@AdamInHTownTX Disagree. A lot of teams focus on possession maxing, just do it in different ways. All the teams remaining have top defenses to boot.

@CubsWorld80 @EricLDaugh That's not 1500 people who are assaulting officers. So once again, please cite all 1500 who attacked cops and then received pardons.

@AdamInHTownTX @EricLDaugh I’d tell you to stop acting stupid but my gut tells me you’re not acting. Just naturally stupid

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Outrage erupts after a UK jury REFUSES to convict two Muslim men accused of launching VIOLENT ATTACKS on police officers Despite it LITERALLY being on video. Henry Nowak, a white male, is allowed to bleed out in the UK with no remorse. Muslim criminals are allowed to get off the hook. THE UK IS FALLING! WAKE UP!

@cutwignatthroat @EricLDaugh 7 follower account from India

@EricLDaugh Henry nowak thought real life is internet and he can attack and abuse. Lowlife learned it the hard way. 🤣🤣

@CubsWorld80 @EricLDaugh Please cite the 1500 people who attacked police officers.

@EricLDaugh Trump pardoned 1500 people that attacked police officers and now wants to give them reparations. MAGA clowns have no self awareness

@Alexoo4 @Pat_Stedman Cite the specific laws he broke that warranted a year in prison.

@Pat_Stedman You mean you broke the law. F*ck you traitor.

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places. At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction. Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that. He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building. I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left. I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders. What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration. In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years. I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter. I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial. At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not. Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me. Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness. But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford. People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war. But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges. By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business. It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

@owen7393 @Pat_Stedman Well for starters, he exposed the weaponization of the justice system against conservatives by the Biden/Harris Administration. Which is a big reason BTW that Trump was sworn in a second time.

@Pat_Stedman And after all that, Biden was still sworn in. What the fuck did you accomplish ?

@Farsh357 @MadManLeaks Maybe it's cope or wishful thinking, but I have to believe that at some point, the ping pong balls will bounce our way(granted, they kinda did once before with the 2024 Nets pick landing at 3rd). Hopefully it finally happens in 2027.

@AdamInHTownTX @MadManLeaks I think this entire draft is worth having at least some sort of pick in the 1st round. Sucks that it ended up this way

Man I’m going through players in this draft and my god. Rockets really chose the wrong draft to not have a lottery pick. I mean this is something else. There will be all stars all through out the top 10

I think they still would've been mediocre, but they would've tried to win games and that could've bumped them up to 11th or 12th place in the East. That could've landed the pick where the Bucks are which is 10th. I guess we'll have to wait and see whether the 10th pick this year turns into a better player than whatever they get next summer from either Brooklyn or Phoenix.

@AdamInHTownTX @MadManLeaks If ur implying that the nets would’ve been better knowing they wouldn’t have had a pick this year, it wouldn’t as good but I don’t think it’d be all that much lower than what it is rn

@AaronCornielle @BrandonTalks That's not convenience. It's laziness.

@BrandonTalks Once again questioning why people would use that convenience instead of why that convenience went from affordable to a luxury.

Ah yes, why are people spending $28 on lunch and not why is lunch $28. Great analysis.

@AaronCornielle Where in God's name are you being forced to spend 28 bucks on lunch?! Unless you're Doordashing it or going to a sitdown restaurant, there is never a reason to fork over that much.

@LarryBoorstein @MedellinGooner It was a fatal chest wound. You don't think the bleeding would be pretty obvious?

@MedellinGooner @AdamInHTownTX It was likely impossible to see that he'd been stabbed until his clothing was removed.

The claim that police "left this young man to die" is bullshit. Henry Nowak was stabbed with a 21 cm knife by a civilian. Police placed Nowak in handcuffs and administered first aid but the young man succumbed to his injuries. Police did not cause or allow him to die.

@DSAMadison How is it a hit piece? They're citing her own remarks and when given multiple opportunities to disavow or backtrack, she doubles down.

These hit pieces reek of desperation. The mainstream media has never been more out of touch with the American working class.
