TMZ hunting down members of Congress like the paparazzi is probably the healthiest dose of transparency Washington has seen in decades.

Call me crazy, but I think the cartels right over the border in Mexico are more dangerous to America than shithole Middle East countries who don’t have the capability of missiles that can reach our land. The military industrial complex strikes again.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. JD VANCE IS LIVID! "Everybody repeating the lie this is some innocent woman out for a drive in MN - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU." "What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ENDED, DRAGGED by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg, so you THINK maybe he's a little bit SENSTIVE about somebody ramming him with an automobile?!" "What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America." "What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job." "If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques, to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws." "You people in the media have been LYING ABOUT THIS ATTACK. She was trying to RAM THIS GUY with her car! He shot back. He's already been seriously wounded before!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Robert Sterling@RobertMSterling·
(Warning: long rant) My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue. I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues. Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious. And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left. Regardless of whether you believe it to be justified, they think you’re the bad guys here. And they are reacting accordingly. I can already hear some of you racing toward the comments to start screeching in moral indignation, so I’m going to be blunt: Shut up and listen to what I’m telling you. Your movement will lose any semblance of relevance if you don’t develop some small measure of self-awareness, and—absent someone force-feeding you bitter medicine—you guys collectively lack the humility to do this on your own. Here are the facts: Fact 1. Tens of millions of Americans started the week seeing a 23-year-old blonde woman—a young woman in whom virtually every parent watching pictured their own daughter—stabbed in the neck by a career criminal. These people then found out the murderer had been released from jail 14 times over. Fact 2. Two days later, tens of millions of Americans watched a video of Charlie Kirk get murdered speaking to college students. Millions of these people knew who Charlie was; millions of them didn’t. Upon seeing the video, however, these normal Americans from across the land and across the political spectrum agreed that he was the victim of a terrible, fundamentally unjustifiable crime, and their hearts broke in sympathy for his family. Good people who had never even heard the name Charlie Kirk before wept. Fact 3. Immediately after seeing the footage of a peaceful young man get shot in the neck, these same people logged onto Facebook and Instagram (remember, we are talking about regular Americans, not perpetually online Twitter or Bluesky users) and saw some of their local nurses, school teachers, college administrators, and retail workers celebrating this horrific crime. Not just defending it, but cheering it. These are all facts. You may not like the implications of these facts, and we can certainly debate the underlying causes thereof, but, indisputably, they are nevertheless factual statements. Here’s what it means for you, the Democrats reading this: These normal, middle-of-the-road, non-political citizens just become politically active. They realized that politics cares about them, even if they don’t particularly care about politics. After watching Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk both bleed out from the neck, they think their lives and the physical safety of their families—the bedrock of human society, the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—depend on political activation, whether they desire it or not. These people are now sprinting—not jogging, not walking, but racing—to the right. Because they blame you guys for everything that just happened. When they see footage of Decarlos Brown stabbing a Ukrainian refugee to death, they don’t see just one demon-possessed man. They picture every university administrator, HR bureaucrat, and DEI apparatchik that ever lectured them about systemic racism, the “carceral state,” or the need to release violent crime suspects without bail in the name of social justice. They then think back to conversations they’ve had with their cop friends—their buddy from high school who quit the force after getting tired of being called a racist, their friend at the local YMCA who vents about having to release career criminals because Soros-funded prosecutors aren’t willing to file charges—and they realize everything the left has told them over the last five years has been utter bullshit. And they blame you. Because, even if you count yourself as a moderate Democrat, your party supported the district attorneys, city council members, and mayors that let fictitious concerns about mental health and racial justice supersede very real concerns for their family’s safety. When these Americans see blood erupt from the side of Charlie Kirk’s neck, they don’t see just a martyred political activist. They think of every extreme leftist they’ve ever met who (1) calls anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton a fascist and (2) constantly jokes—“jokes”—about punching Nazis and “bashing the fash.” They realize that there really do exist people who wish to see them dead for their moderately conservative political beliefs, their Christian faith, and even the color of their skin. They ask themselves if the violence visited upon Charlie might one day show up on their own doorstep. And they blame you. Because, even if you’re just a center-of-the-road liberal, you lacked the courage to police your own ranks. You let modern-day Maoist red guards run loose across every facet of society, and what started with social-media struggle sessions has now turned to 30-06 bullet holes. When these Americans log onto social media and see their neighbors justifying, celebrating, glorifying murder, they realize that some who walk among them are soulless ghouls at best, literally demon-possessed at worst. These people—whether they faithfully attend church every Sunday or only attend with relatives once a year, on Christmas Eve—start talking about things like spiritual warfare. They implicitly understand that no normal human casually celebrates the mortal demise of a peaceful person. And they blame you. Because, even if you condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder, they probably haven’t seen you condemn those in your own movement who cheered it on. They view you as complicit in allowing heartless fellow travelers to celebrate death, and it repulses them. For all of these situations, what has your response been? Nothing but bullshit. In response to Iryna Zarutska bleeding out on the floor of a train, you post bullshit statistics about reductions in reported crime, when everyone who’s ever been to a major urban center in the last decade knows that actual crime has skyrocketed, only for victims not to waste their time reporting it to cops that don’t have the manpower to respond and prosecutors that seek to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanor citations. In response to a 31-year-old man taking a bullet to the neck in front of his family, you post nothing but bullshit whataboutism. > “What about January 6th?” (Honest answer: After you let Liz Cheney spend two years operating a star chamber in the House, combined with countless other failed attempts at “lawfare” against Trump, no one cares anymore.) > “What about Mike Lee making a dumb joke on Twitter about some guy in a mask in Minnesota?” (No one outside of Utah, DC, or Twitter knows who Mike Lee even is.) > “What about Paul Pelosi?” (That’s not comparable to Charlie Kirk getting shot, and we all know it. And, again, Paul who?) > “What about regulations on assault rifles?” (That’s not going to get you very far when one of these killers used a knife and the other one used a common hunting rifle.) In response to teachers, healthcare workers, and thousands of other liberals cheering on Charlie’s murder, it’s nothing but more bullshit and misdirection. > “It’s not THAT many people celebrating!” (Yes, it is. Everyone has seen it on their Facebook and Instagram feeds.) > “I thought you guys didn’t support cancel culture.” (We don’t cancel people over their opinions; we’re more than happy to see people lose their jobs—especially their taxpayer-funded jobs—for actively cheering on murder, though. If you can’t see the difference, that’s your own shortcoming.) All bullshit. Not even smart bullshit, but stale, mid-grade, low-IQ bullshit. Ordinary Americans see right through it, and they don’t like how it smells. You probably don’t like hearing this. But you need to hear it. Because I’m right, and, as you reflect on this, you know I’m right. The ranks of my political movement gained millions of righteously angry new members this week. We have a mandate to ensure these crimes never happen again, and that’s exactly what we are now going to do. If you want to keep a seat at the table as we do so, you’d better clean house and start policing your own.

This is a screenshot from American Academy of Pediatrics’ webpage, thanking the organization’s top corporate donors. These four companies make virtually every vaccine on the CDC recommended childhood vaccine schedule. AAP is angry that CDC has eliminated corporate influence in decisions over vaccine recommendations and returned CDC to gold-standard science and evidence-based medicine laser-focused on children’s health. AAP today released its own list of corporate-friendly vaccine recommendations. The Trump Administration believes in free speech and AAP has a right to make its case to the American people. But AAP should follow the lead of HHS and disclose conflicts of interest, including its corporate entanglements and those of its journal—Pediatrics—so that Americans may ask whether the AAP’s recommendations reflect public health interest, or are, perhaps, just a pay-to-play scheme to promote commercial ambitions of AAP’s Big Pharma benefactors. AAP should also be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC’s official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act.

For the record, Elon’s not wrong. As a finance person this country’s P&L statement is something an investor would run far away from. The US is like the people who get so far into debt the principal balance never decreases because they’re just covering the interest pmt every time.

Why is Disney allowing this man to do this? Yes, man. I’m done being polite. 🚨WARNING: WOMENS STUFF‼️ This pic has given me a flashback: So I’m barely 11 years old when I started my period at a theme park. I was horrified. My mother quickly whisked me in to one of the huge bathrooms to help me sort myself out. I was terrified! I thought I’d ruined everyones day. My parents had saved & saved so we could go to this Theme Park for my little sister’s birthday & I was in tears, panicking that I was dying & had spoiled the whole trip. The crowd around me was scary, but vibe instantly changed once in the bathroom. When my mum whispered to the lady in front of her that her 11 year old daughter had just “started her… you know what”, the lady gasped & congratulated me in a whisper. Next, she asked if she could help us by getting us to the front of the very long queue: at least a 15 minute wait. I sniffled & my mother said that was very kind but we didn’t want to make a fuss. I had full on frozen as I was, after all, literally dying (so I thought). The lady nipped up & down the queue & quietly asked the other ladies, many with kids, if they would give up their place so my mum could take me in to the big end stall? I watched her communicate why without ever saying the word “period”. Everyone just got it! One by one, the women & those older girls I thought all looked like princesses, gave me a smile or a wave of encouragement, ushering me to the front. We were next. I was still scared but I didn’t feel so uncomfortable anymore. It felt like I’d joined a club, as why else would these women, all of them, be so kind & keen for me to go ahead of them? I was only 11! Mum led the way, thanking everyone profusely. They replied in knowing nods & whispers, saying to her but also to me: “Not at all!” “Please go ahead of us!” “How exciting! You poor thing, what a shock here of all places, but you’ve got your mum!” “The end stall is biggest, we’ll make sure you’re next!” “Do you need anything?” One girl of about 14 who looked like Belle from Beauty & The Beast crouched down as I trembled next to her, now at the front of the queue, & said: “We’re the same, I got mine first time at a swimming pool! It doesn’t hurt much really, & only for a bit. You ok?” It was overwhelming to see a room full of women, in the biggest bathroom I’d ever seen, seamlessly mobilise as a group & help a young mother & her 11 year old daughter, as if I was their own. If anyone asks me when I first learned what the word “Sisterhood” means, I remember this day. My Mum took me in to the end stall & all was well. When we came out I was worried everyone would stare, but it was all back to normal. Privacy, dignity & “a woman’s secret” were in the air. The Belle-a-like girl had taken her time washing her hands with her own mum to wait for me, to say: “You OK? My family will be at the food place bit at 12 for lunch. Maybe we can meet there & say a quick hi? There are smaller bathrooms there, we can go together?” Her mum & my mum exchanged mum words above our heads. I felt so grateful & special, said thank you, asked my mum, & it was settled. I was settled. And apparently not dying! Then I looked at myself in the mirror. I thought I’d look different, suddenly older, but I was exactly the same (albeit a bit flushed) & ready to go on the teacups. Mum & “Belle” assured me no one could tell & we went back out to the busy park as if nothing had changed. It was the best day! That would have been a totally different experience if this selfish, hulking man had been stood pointedly in the middle of the bathroom, leering at everyone while filming himself (& the rest of us) in the mirror. Scary. Some things are sacred. Girls deserve truly female only bathrooms in theme parks for many reasons. They are not sets for your content, sir. Privacy & dignity for girls is more important than whatever this does for you. Esp as you’re targeting children’s spaces. Get out & stay out.
