Ron Howard: "Trump is a self-serving, dishonest, morally bankrupt ego maniac who doesn’t care about anything or anyone but his fame & bank account & is hustling the US." To me, it sounds like he is describing most actors including himself
"If Republicans lose the Senate majority in November, seating a freshman GOP senator would be of limited value, especially compared with the political capital Cornyn has amassed in Washington since 2002," @carinemhajjar writes. wapo.st/4wTu3gA
Barbara Walters once wrote that many Americans have forgotten — and many others were never taught — how Jane Fonda’s actions during the Vietnam War were viewed by countless POWs and veterans. One of the most widely repeated accounts comes from Air Force pilot Jerry Driscoll, a POW held in the “Hanoi Hilton.” According to the story, he was cleaned up and forced to appear before Jane Fonda during her visit to North Vietnam. When ordered to praise his captors’ “humane treatment,” he instead spat at her. He was reportedly beaten severely afterward, suffering injuries that permanently affected his vision and ended his flying career. Another former POW, Colonel Larry Carrigan, described how prisoners secretly passed Jane Fonda slips of paper containing their Social Security numbers in hopes of proving to the world they were alive. The story claims she later handed those papers over to North Vietnamese officers, resulting in brutal beatings for the men involved. Carrigan survived. Others allegedly did not. Former civilian adviser Michael Benge, who was imprisoned for more than five years, also spoke publicly about his experience. He said he agreed to meet with Fonda because he wanted to tell her the truth about the treatment POWs endured — not the “humane and lenient” image being presented for propaganda purposes. According to Benge, he was severely punished before any meeting could happen. For many veterans and military families, Jane Fonda’s 1972 trip to Hanoi became a symbol of betrayal during a painful chapter in American history. While supporters viewed her as an antiwar activist protesting U.S. policy, critics believed her actions crossed the line into giving aid and comfort to America’s enemy during wartime. Decades later, the anger and controversy surrounding “Hanoi Jane” still remain powerful for many who served, suffered, or lost loved ones during the Vietnam War. Whatever one’s political views may be, the experiences of POWs and veterans deserve to be remembered and treated with respect.

Apology owed to Chip Roy. A week ago he called in a frenzy, claiming Mayes Middleton lied about his amendment to the Protect Children’s Innocence Act - that it would let Blue states keep mutilating kids by narrowing jurisdiction. Roy was right - Middleton didn't mention it would have castrated federal authority in red states too. The gist of Roy's amendment is that it narrowed jurisdiction (i.e. enforcement) to gender clinics with “direct federal funding.” (see screenshot) "Direct" being the key word since direct federal funding has legislative/legal precedent - this is federal money that goes directly to recipient (i.e. CDC, NIH, grants/awards). This would provide a carve out not only for private gender clinics but also those with “indirect” funding like Medicaid (i.e. gender clinics at major children's hospitals) - federal funds go to state and then state Medicaid agencies manage payments for services, hence, "indirect." This is a big deal because "indirect" funding applies regardless of whether its a Blue/Red state. So, if the law was passed with Roy's amendment, it would have castrated the Fed's jurisdiction (original law was written to allow broad enforcement), leaving it up to Red state legislation banning pediatric gender interventions - most of which are also neutered in terms of enforcement capacity (i.e. SB14 in Texas does not even grant Texas AG's office civil investigative authority). In my estimation, the only gender clinics Chip Roy's amendment would apply to would be if RFK opened one up at the CDC (direct federal funding) and started offloading his extra supply of T to angsty teenagers. What makes this totally insane is this was only a few months ago, December 2025 - way long after the average normie was convinced on the gender issue. Roy eventually pulled the amendment but the fact that it was even proposed is apex treachery. If he was willing to attempt a gambit like this, just imagine what else he would do as Texas AG. All those major victories from the Texas AG (i.e. $10 million TCH gender clinic settlement, big tech censorship settlements, etc) you could kiss goodbye. I bring this up because tomorrow is election day for Texas Republicans and I have an important reminder for everyone: John Cornyn will appear twice on your ballot: 1) First, in the U.S. Senate race against Ken Paxton. 2) Second, in the Texas AG's race against Mayes Middleton - but as a reincarnation manifesting as Chip Roy.
Hello Senator Thune, I'm replying to your post from yesterday: "Despite Democrats' partisan games, we're still going to get the entire federal government funded." Today, you sent the Senate home... not because of Democrats. Because of you. Here's what actually happened. On May 18, the DOJ announced an Anti-Weaponization Fund: $1.776 billion to compensate Americans harmed by Biden-era DOJ abuse. Your own caucus revolted. After a two-hour closed-door meeting, you departed for Memorial Day recess without a vote. ICE and CBP funding, punted to June 1. The "partisan games," it turns out, were yours. Your stated objections: no congressional authorization, no eligibility standards, no legal precedent, executive overreach. Fine. But let's talk about November 2025, when you tucked a provision into the government funding bill. The FBI had quietly seized phone records from eight Republican senators without notice, under an investigation codenamed "Arctic Frost." Your provision gave those senators, and only those senators, $500,000 per violation, retroactive to 2022. The House voted 426-0 to repeal it. The critics weren't opposed to compensating victims of DOJ abuse. They were opposed to senators compensating themselves while doing no other structural reforms. Lindsey Graham held the Senate hostage to preserve it. He delayed a spending deal in January 2026 to secure a floor vote on his revised version. Let's put the two columns next to each other: ➤ DOJ abused senators: $500K/violation payout, senators only, no hearings, no process, no eligibility debate, no floor vote on substance. ➤ DOJ abused Americans: "very legitimate questions," two-hour meeting, Senate goes home, reconciliation punted, June 1 deadline in jeopardy. You told Punchbowl News you "did not personally see a need for this fund." You personally saw a need for the fund when the targets were you. Go cry harder to your Punchbowl friends @JakeSherman and @AndrewDesiderio, because at this rate, they'll soon become the only people who are buying what you're selling.
