@TheBabylonBee Imagine your garbage not getting picked up because the sanitation board is busy negotiating the two state solution.

@TheBabylonBee Imagine your garbage not getting picked up because the sanitation board is busy negotiating the two state solution.

@bradlander @prospect_park We want a future too. That is why the people who broke public safety, affordability, schools, streets, and basic city services should stop lecturing everyone about public goods. You are not the solution. You are the institution that needs replacement.

Early Monday am btw early voting & E-day was made for a run in @prospect_park. No better way to remember the transformative power of public goods & what we owe future generations.

@ClownWorld Paternity fraud is the only scam where the victim pays the bill, raises the child, loses years of his life, and then gets told he is the bad guy for wanting a DNA test. That is not compassion. That is fraud with baby pictures.

Panama just approved a bill that could send women to prison for up to 5 years for intentionally lying about a child’s paternity. If a man spends years raising and financially supporting a child based on a lie, should there be legal consequences for the person who deceived him? Should the U.S. have a similar law?

@GuntherEagleman I want a refund too. But first I want the itemized receipt. Every consultant. Every grant. Every mystery nonprofit. Every project with a name that sounds like it was invented during a fever dream at a Davos brunch. Taxpayers paid for the buffet. Show us who ate.

I want a refund.

@triggerpod @DrDStarkeyCBE Britain keeps holding elections while the real power hides in quangos, courts, regulators, expert panels, and permanent institutions. The public votes. The machine vetoes. Then the same people wonder why trust is collapsing.

“I said on the morning after the election that Starmer will fail… the left will remain completely blind to what’s going on.” @DrDStarkeyCBE argues that Keir Starmer is part of a wider system shift away from elected power toward judges, quangos, and “experts” that is “strangling everything.” He warns that this blindness won’t end there, suggesting even under figures like Andy Burnham, the same patterns will repeat.

@NiohBerg The British people remembered they like Britain and the establishment reacted like someone pulled the fire alarm at Davos. Normal country. Normal flag. Normal pride. Complete elite nervous breakdown.

For the Americans just waking up, This is the current state of the UK right now. The liberal establishment is melting down while the entire British population celebrates. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Good news worth sharing: An off duty ICE officer saw a six year old girl unconscious in a pool. He jumped in fully clothed. Pulled her out. Started CPR. She is expected to recover. That is not a talking point. That is a child alive because law enforcement acted.

@GuntherEagleman A $30 million disclosure becomes a tiny asset report and everyone is supposed to accept “clerical error” and move on? No. Show the records. Show the liabilities. Show the business valuations. Show the income. If it was just paperwork, prove it with paperwork.

🚨 ILHAN OMAR FINANCIAL SCANDAL EXPLODES, Husband’s $30 MILLION Net Worth “Clerical Error” While She Reports Tiny Income? Omar’s husband Tim Mynett listed $30M net worth in 2024. Now they claim it was a mistake. Her assets? $20K-$125K. Income? $200-$1,000. Meanwhile, his wine company pulls in $100K to $1M+. Congressional salary + mysterious wealth + “clerical errors” = massive red flags. Republicans demanding full investigation into her holdings and Minnesota fraud ties. Voters see right through it. This is the same Ilhan Omar who’s spent years covering up Democrat-enabled waste while living large. Corruption as usual. Time for real accountability and then deportation.

@nypost ActBlue spent years helping Democrats fundraise off lectures about democracy Now we ask about fake names, foreign donations, missing documents, legal resignations, and contempt. Funny election integrity becomes partisan theater moment the spotlight hits Democratic money machine

House Republicans issue contempt threat against ActBlue after Dem fundraiser refuses to turn over hundreds of documents trib.al/52OWTFJ

@TrackIslamUSA Funny how the outrage only has one address. AIPAC gets treated like a shadowy conspiracy. Other lobby money gets treated like normal politics. That is the tell. It was never really about PACs. It was about making Jewish political participation sound sinister.

Ro Khanna hauled in $1,260,631 from the Pro-Islamist Lobby.

@GuntherEagleman British policing now has two settings: Easy target: full enforcement. Politically sensitive target: careful dialogue, community context, and six managers reviewing the optics. That is why trust is collapsing.

Wouldn’t have happened if the girls were wearing Hijabs.

@GuntherEagleman Bernie can give extra money to the government today. The Treasury will take it. No campaign slogan required. But that is never the plan. The plan is always moral theater with someone else’s wallet.

🚨 BERNIE SANDERS BACK AT IT, Pushing “Wealth Tax” to Hammer 900+ Billionaires with 5% ANNUAL Hit! “Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act”, code for government greed grabbing more from successful Americans while punishing achievement. Joined by fellow socialist Dems and union bosses. Same old class warfare song and dance. Socialism doesn’t create wealth, it destroys it. Punish the producers, watch jobs, innovation, and investment flee (hello, California & New York). America thrives on freedom, opportunity, and capitalism!

@HenMazzig Nobody talks about other PACs this way. Not labor PACs. Not climate PACs. Not trial lawyer money. Not teacher union money. But say AIPAC and suddenly everyone pretends Jewish political participation is a conspiracy. That is the tell.

Mamdani-endorsed New York candidate for Congress Claire Valdez tweeted out a conspiracy theory that her opponent is being funded by AIPAC. This despite the fact that her opponent, like Valdez, calls the war Hamas started on October 7th a "genocide." The AIPAC funding rumors proved false. None of this didn't stop Cynthia Nixon from campaigning for Valdez. Why would it? Stirring up needless hate against Jews is the strategy. No one is hiding it anymore.

@Gothamist Nobody wants people back on the street. But NYC cannot keep spending billions on a homeless system with no exit ramp. Help should mean housing, treatment, stability, work, and a path to independence. Self sufficiency is not cruelty. A broken system forever is.

Trump admin wants 'self-sufficiency,' but funding cuts could make NYers homeless again gothamist.com/news/trump-adm…

@bradlander The issue is not identity. The issue is using identity to cover for the crowd that chants intifada, excuses Hamas, harasses Jews, and demands every Jew abandon Israel to earn approval. That is not moral courage. That is volunteering as a shield for the mob.

Supporting Palestinian human rights doesn’t make us any less Jewish.

@boulderbooks @BVSDcolorado I wonder what your stance on Jew Tag and strangulation is? adl.org/sites/default/…
