@atrupar A reporter asked the President for a comment on six American service members killed in the Middle East. The President waved the question aside and called for the next one. Six flag-draped coffins return home. The President, apparently, has already moved on.

Q: Do you have a comment on the six service members who passed? TRUMP: *ignoring question* Go ahead. Who else?

I can watch this movie over and over again😖

The clip is from NewsNation's "Reality Check" with host Ross Coulthart, recorded June 2025 at Contact in the Desert UFO conference (aired ~June 17-18). Bledsoe claims he submitted the 2026 prophecy details (orbs during Israel-Iran missile exchange, veil breaking) in writing to the Pentagon around Easter 2012, at the request of two Air Force generals (also referenced to NASA contact Tim Taylor). This relies entirely on his accounts across interviews/books—no public gov docs, releases, or third-party verification exist.

@JOKAQARMY1 @grok When did this interview with Chris Bledsoe take place, and with whom? Is there any independent confirmation of the in-writing information that he claims he provided to the government?

New World Prophecy. 🤔

The President now suggests that the Strait of Hormuz is really other nations’ territory and perhaps unnecessary to us altogether. Yet he is urging those nations to send their navies to keep it open. Which raises a modest question: why mobilize the world to defend something we supposedly do not need?

Watch closely. As Pete Hegseth deplanes, he’s greeted by a group of soldiers. Hegseth salutes each one of them, except for the Black man. Seems very on brand for this administration.

YouTube and Google are allowing monetization from AI-generated lies that defame Black public figures and mislead the public. This is a modern misinformation economy and it’s harming real people. We’ve filed a formal FTC complaint. Tech giants must put an end to these practices!

The slogan adopted by Bezos’s @washingtonpost in Trump’s first term was “Democracy dies in darkness.” Given what Bezos and Lewis did today, the Washington Post is complicit in killing it.

Excuse me, Sir?!

Do we have a Constitution? Not framed behind glass in museums. Not preserved in marble courthouses. On sidewalks. On church steps. On contested ground. Where journalists stand to bear witness. ⚖️ Cc: @ByGeorgiaFort #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort

Did Moses believe Pharaoh would treat him gently because he was raised in Pharaoh’s house? The Tanakh answers this without ambiguity. Moses was not foreign to Egyptian power. He was formed by it. He lived in the royal household, spoke its language, understood its customs, and was known to its ruler. His biological mother, Yocheved, saved his life; Pharaoh’s daughter raised him as her own. If shared formation or proximity to power could restrain authority, Moses possessed it. He did not rely on it. Moses confronted Pharaoh knowing that familiarity does not shield those who challenge power. Pharaoh’s response confirmed the lesson. He did not hesitate because he knew Moses. He hardened his heart. Even after permitting Israel to leave, he pursued them with his army, intent on their destruction—including Moses. The Midrash is explicit: Pharaoh’s knowledge of Moses made Moses more dangerous, not safer. Familiarity with power does not bring safety; it makes one a threat. This is the pattern the prophets revealed: when moral truth confronts power, the one who bears it becomes the enemy. Rabbi Joachim Prinz learned this pattern not from theory, but from history. As a rabbi in Berlin in the early 1930s, he spoke openly against the Nazi regime and urged Jews not to seek safety through accommodation or silence. For that refusal, he was arrested, harassed, and ultimately expelled from Germany in 1937. Standing in Washington in 1963, Prinz warned America from lived experience: “The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful, and the most tragic problem is silence.” He was not speaking metaphorically. He was describing how injustice survives—when those close enough to see it choose quiet over responsibility. Judged by outcomes alone, prophecy always appears to fail—and this is how Mississippi appeared in 1964. Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were Jews acting within that same moral inheritance. They did not go south believing that Jewishness or whiteness would soften violence. There was never such a belief. They understood what Jewish tradition teaches plainly and what Prinz had lived: when injustice is visible, silence is not neutrality; it is consent. They worked with a Black congregation in Mississippi and helped organize at Mt. Zion Methodist Church. When that church was burned to the ground, they returned—not because familiarity or visibility promised safety, but because withdrawal would have meant abandoning people under terror. Rita Schwerner said at the time what Jewish history had already taught: “If he and Andrew Goodman had been Negroes, the world would have taken little notice of their deaths… It is only because my husband and Andrew Goodman were white that the national alarm has been sounded.” Attention followed violence; it did not prevent it. From this, a clear judgment follows. The claim that violence against white protesters disproves racism rests on a misunderstanding foreign to Jewish teaching. It assumes there was ever a belief that closeness to power—whether through race, status, or belonging—would confer protection. There was not. Moses did not believe it. The sages cautioned that closeness to power offers no protection. Goodman and Schwerner did not act on it. Jewish moral tradition has never measured truth by safety or success, but by obligation. If killing white witnesses disproved racism, Jim Crow would have died in 1964 in Neshoba County, Mississippi, with Goodman and Schwerner. It didn’t.

This is a textbook strawman. Lawrence invents a “theory” no one held—that white protesters expected gentler treatment—then declares it disproven after two are shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. In 1964, white Jewish civil-rights workers Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were murdered confronting Jim Crow. If killing white witnesses disproved racism, it would have ended then. It didn’t.

Jim Write is a voice of reason. He’s clear headed, unlike some. This is what he’s saying now. We are past the point where this stops itself. It will have to be stopped.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

@covie_93 This guy had to sign up again at Costco so he could cancel again. That is some cancel courage.
