@piersmorgan @joni_askola Mr. Brand’s Christianity is entirely performative and revolves around the promotion of his book. Frankly, he belongs in prison and not on any television program.

I knew my Russell Brand interview would be an interesting experience when he insisted on saying a prayer for both of us before we started.

Donald Trump has no use for the constitution, which means he has no use for the United States unless it serves his purposes and whims. At his core, he has no use for rules, norms, or laws.
All Americans work to defend the constitution and our fellow citizens. Period.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
This unhinged rant against the Constitution and against the very Americans whom the president is sworn to defend is an embarrassment to our country. Americans with ancestry in China and India are as much Americans as Irish and Italian Americans.

@johnpavlovitz @Paula_White And the propaganda arm of Putin’s regime thinks it’s beneficial to show what a bunch of loons advise DJT, as it crashes US credibility around the world.
Writ larger, it also continues the crash of perceived moral authority of the Reform Church. That’s the real disaster.

As a longtime pastor, this makes me want to throw up.
@Paula_White is a lying, grifting predator who has spent her life stealing people's money to live in opulence, and is now a cheerleader for a vile serial rapist.
This is why people are leaving the Church.

NATO armies are finally investing in multi-layered counter-UAS and air defence systems. Smart sights attached to small arms with frangible ammunition types are a good low-cost option, but cannons with proximity airburst ammunition, interceptor drones, high-energy lasers, and low cost-missiles all have their place.

@ThomasTheLib @JayinKyiv MR was also correct in the sense that Russia was far more likely to use the remains of its military to achieve its goals, at a time when everyone thought war was a ridiculous idea.
He would never be President, but he sounded the alarm that many refused to hear.

In 2012, Mitt Romney called Russia our number one geopolitical foe.
He was right and Democrats stupidly laughed him off.

And if Stalin can be okay, it reduces Putin’s criminality to an asterisk.
Free nations should work overtime to disabuse Russia of any effort to whitewash the murderous corruption of their society.
Aleksandar Djokic (Александар Джокич)@polidemitolog
The fact that Stalin has been completely rehabilitated in Russia and that crimes of the Soviet era are again being denied isn't tied to communist ideology at all, it's about the cult of the state and authority, as well as the narrative of Russia as a liberator.

@RobMKendall His larger crime is his gauche willingness to overshadow his boss at every turn.

Beckwith does whatever he wants and lies all the time because he never gets held to account. He’s a complete piece of garbage who hides behind his profession as a pastor to manipulate just enough loyalists to buy into his professional victimhood and defend the repeatedly indefensible things he does.

Inviting Vladimir Putin to the G20 would signal to the world that aggression works, and that appeasement is back on the table. America is better than this.

NEW: Trump and Hegseth decided to push Navy Secretary John Phelan out during a meeting Monday night. “The president is really passionate about shipbuilding, and it hasn’t been happening at the rate he wants to see,” a senior administration official told me. Phelan didn’t want to listen to Hegseth and showed up in the West Wing lobby to speak with Trump, the senior administration official said. “Finally, the president brought him in for two minutes and reiterated that he had to go.” My latest w/ @JackDetsch, @LeoShane and @connorobrienNH: politico.com/news/2026/04/2…

Europe needs to do more of this - spend more on defence and spend less with the US. Cut Europe out/off defence dependency on the U.S. And spell it out that this is because of Daddy.

For nearly four decades, NATO’s eyes in the sky have been American. The Boeing E-3 Sentry, a militarized 707 with a rotating radar dish on top, has been the alliance’s airborne early warning backbone since the 1980s. Washington built it. Washington sold it. Washington serviced it. That era ended this week. NATO’s Support and Procurement Agency has selected the Swedish Saab GlobalEye to replace all 14 of the alliance’s aging E-3 aircraft, in a deal worth around 5 billion euros. The contract goes to Sweden and Canada. Not a single American company involved. The decision follows the US cancelling its own E-7 Wedgetail procurement in June 2025, shifting instead toward satellite surveillance under the Golden Dome concept. When Washington pulled out, it assumed NATO would wait. NATO didn’t wait. The GlobalEye uses a fixed AESA radar rather than the E-3’s rotating dish, enabling faster target detection across air, sea, and land at ranges exceeding 550 kilometres, with endurance of over 13 hours per sortie. It is smaller, cheaper to operate, and requires fewer crew. Unit cost sits at roughly 550 million euros, against significantly higher estimates for the E-7. France had already ordered two. Poland and Germany were circling. Now NATO has formalised it for the whole alliance. Trump spent 14 months telling Europe to spend more on defence and rely less on America. Europe listened. He just didn’t expect them to mean it quite so literally. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@DrNeilStone Amanpour has been a massive disappointment. Ansari has seemingly thought that saying blandishments about the regime would allow more access.

Not something anyone should be proud of.

⛽️ Sanctions relief on Russian oil — extended. Again.
Just two days after Treasury Secretary @SecScottBessent told reporters that Washington would not renew the sanctions waiver on Russian oil, the administration reversed course.
The waiver — allowing purchases of Russian oil already at sea — has been extended through May 16.
President Zelensky condemned the move directly: this provides money for Moscow's war on Ukraine.
Every exemption. Every extension. Every "temporary" relief — it all flows to the same place.
Now is not the time to ease pressure on Russia. It is the time to maintain it.
Sanctions must stay in place until there is full accountability for Russia's ongoing aggression. Lifting them prematurely rewards violations of sovereignty and weakens the credibility of the international community.

Megyn Kelly literally spent the past decade making her millions off of pushing Trump into the presidency even after he led an insurrection against our country.
These apologies from his enablers are insincere and self serving.
Jesus can forgive her.

The idea that Iran’s regime is a multi-headed Hydra that can’t be defeated is regime disinformation. So is the idea that Ghalibaf/Araghchi/Pezeshkian etc represent fissures or anything other than regime core power interests. They are all desperate and should be defeated now.
