@HarleyButterBee @KatieMiller But “no kings!”, amirite?

@KatieMiller We created a royal class in our own country. This is a disgrace.

Congress has a special phone number for American Airlines and Delta where the call is answered on the first ring and they can book and cancel many flights with no penalties.

@marklevinshow We don’t care what you have to say here any more than we cared to listen to your radio “interview”.

SOME OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM MY INTERVIEW WITH JOE KENT. I decided to provide this summary because the media have either ignored the interview or focused on more trivial bits of the interview without reporting on some of Kent's astonishing statements and misdirection. You can decide for yourself. 1. I pressed Joe Kent on widespread allegations from multiple sources and in multiple news outlets about his leaking of classified information and an investigation that started well before he resigned. He denied leaking classified or confidential information to anyone at any time and said he was unaware of an investigation. 2. Kent denied leaking Charlie Kirk's group texts to Candice Owens, which were given to him in confidence by Andrew Kolvet, despite Kolvet implying otherwise. Kolvet issued his own video stating Kent suggested Kovet release the texts to the public, which he refused to do. Soon thereafter, Owens released them and has obsessively used the texts to suggest Israel assassinated Charlie. 3. Kent accused Israel of starting the 12-day war against Iran and our subsequent bombing of the Iranian nuclear sites. I know for a fact that Israel did not launch that operation without the go-ahead by President Trump. Furthermore, Israel did not force the President to bomb the nuclear sites. President Trump knew exactly what he was doing and made the decision after consulting with his civilian and military advisers. 4. Kent insisted that Israel was going to attack Iran several weeks ago and, again, forced President Trump to launch our current military campaign (in coordination with Israel) against Iran. The President, Marco Rubio, John Radcliffe, and others, all deny it. 5. He insisted that Khamenei wanted a peace deal and had issued a fatwa years ago declaring that Iran would never develop a nuclear weapon. I knew this was as absurd argument and pressed Kent. The President's envoys also contradicted this by the facts, as have others, as there are obvious and plentiful facts of Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon, manufacture and accumulation of nuclear material, its violation of nuclear agreements, and its clandestine activities surrounding the entire decades' long project. 6. I mentioned Iran had lied about the reach of its ballistic missiles, to include most of Europe, to which Kent said nothing. 7. Kent's obsession with Israel as the aggressor against Iran was apparent throughout the interview. He repeatedly portrayed Iran as the victim, ignoring Iran's myriad acts of terrorism and its establishing, funding, training, and arming of Hezbollah and Hamas, among other things. 8. Kent repeatedly accused Israel of controlling President Trump's decisions respecting Iran, ignoring my repeated mentioned of the myriad examples of Iran's 47-years of acts of terrorism and war against our country, embassies, military installations, military personnel, and assassination attempts against the President and other top administration officials. 9. Kent ignored the repeated declarations by the President that he would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and repeatedly insisted that Iran was not close to making a nuclear weapon, in direct contradiction of Iran's own representations to Special Envoys Witkoff and Kushner in the final rounds of negotiations before the President ordered the current military actions, as well as CIA Director Radcliffe's sworn testimony and the statements of others in the know. 10. When I asked Kent to name the 18-intelligence agencies that he claims unanimously concluded Iran was not close to having a nuclear weapon, he did not. Of course, the President makes the final decision based on all the information provided to him, including not only intelligence information but information from other sources as well, and other circumstances. Nonetheless, Kent's assertion cannot be verified. 11. One of the most preposterous and pernicious of Kent's views was his insinuation that Israel may have been behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which he declared during his interview with Tucker Carlson. I pressed him hard on this. He tried to adjust his insinuation to suggest there could have been a foreign actor but that was clearly an equivocation. He also claimed he could not provide specifics as he could not reveal them, or the information was classified or whatever. But he insisted it needed to be pursued. Obviously, he has no information to support any of it. It was a blatant antisemitic trope, to go along with his other obsessions with Israel. 11. I asked Kent about the timing of his resignation and the provocative claims in his letter, as well as his allegations against Israel and supposed Israeli lobbyists and their claimed influence on the President (convincing him to go to war). He responded with generalities, talked about a media echo chamber, and repeated his charge that the President essentially was not making his own decisions. He also said he did not issue his letter at the outbreak of the war because he had hoped the President would quickly reverse course. Clearly, his resignation, letter, and the timing was intended for media consumption and to undermine the President and, he hoped, delegitimize the President's decisions, which Kent knew would be used by the media, the Democrats, the Woke Reich, and others against the President and his decisions. There was much more. You can listen for yourself here:

Ok? Girl I have followed you for a long time and I genuinely like you. But as a fat who comes from a long line of other fats, I don’t love this take. I’ve lost weight the natural way. A lot of weight. And I’ve gained it the natural way, too. My cardiologist recommended I take it bc it helps w/ A1C, inflammation, and more. I don’t take it because I tried and couldn’t handle the side effects. But I can also say that weight isn’t coming off without trying. So those people are still making lifestyle changes, but those changes are easier when you aren’t thinking about food 24/7. Which naturally skinny people don’t understand.

@littleapostate Well that’s actually pretty shitty.

@patriotismbrit @DerrickEvans4WV What it shows is that when people stop getting paid, they stop showing up to work.

@DerrickEvans4WV rough for the workers tbh but maybe shows how bloated govt payroll is when whole thing falls apart this quick same mess with our public sector strikes

🚨 Frustration boiling over at TSA: Worker describes early morning to evening shift, still unpaid as delays and tension grow.

@Modster99 @Junglegsus @ChrisCuomo Bring enough people and you also have the ideology.

@Junglegsus @ChrisCuomo The ideology. Any society that has brought in that ideology.

Can you point any societies that have been made better by an increase in Islamism?

@TerribleMaps Mid Atlantic dweller. Can confirm.

Places you’re most likely to get a speeding ticket in

@CalebDeaver5 @AngelMD1103 Same 🤝

@ImpossiblyPink @AngelMD1103 I do appreciate the discussion though

This says a lot about society right now… A woman in a hospital, with her husband right there, still tripping and putting even her unborn baby at risk. It’s the kind of moment that makes you stop and question everything. Some situations go way beyond poor judgment and raise serious concerns. Do you think this reflects a bigger issue with responsibility today, or is this just one situation taken too far?

@CalebDeaver5 @AngelMD1103 To be fair, what the US does is new. And the outcomes are not improved for it.

@ImpossiblyPink @AngelMD1103 To answer the rest of the world question: guidelines in America are a little slower to move to ensure quality and preserve safety very rarely do we revert to something new without hard evidence. It does have its perks and detriments.

@CalebDeaver5 @AngelMD1103 That doesn’t answer the question. Many studies indicate worse outcomes when withholding food and water. So wouldn’t that risk benefit say to stop being so strict with it in the US, like much of the rest of the world?

@ImpossiblyPink @AngelMD1103 There are risks with every decision we make on a daily basis. Guidelines are created based on risk to benefit studies that provide the best outcome for patients.

@CalebDeaver5 @AngelMD1103 What do you think about the various studies that say it’s unnecessary to restrict food and water for low risk pregnancies and doing so may actually prolong labor?

@ImpossiblyPink @AngelMD1103 Very well read and studied in this department

@LauraLoomer Do people think the parents enjoy listening to their baby cry? If they could sooth the baby don’t you think they would?

Not in Business or First class. People pay to have comfort in Business and First class so they can work, not listen to crying babies. I don’t want to listen to crying babies when I’m traveling for work and paying more for comfort while I work.

Yes I was reading that. So we have fewer than 1% of laboring mothers who will need general, and then a small fraction of those will vomit or aspirate. But because we must limit liability to doctors and hospitals, no matter how unlikely, we instead starve women, deprive them of energy, water, and movement, making labor longer, more dangerous, and more painful. And for our trouble we get the highest maternal mortality for a developed nation.

@givmeusername @ImpossiblyPink @AngelMD1103 Did you know that was an outdated practice. It’s outdated because they use to do anesthesia with a rubber opaque masked and couldn’t tell when the women threw up their food until too late. Now anesthesia has progressed so eating is not a problem anymore

@Marcia74192580 @PolitiBunny Your marriage license is not ID. Its proof of your birth name and your married name, IF you are a women who married and changed her name (or a man....it is 2026).

@PolitiBunny Why do we have to do more than men? Also, I read you can’t use a marriage license as identification and they want a passport $165.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out. Here's how it went: 1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14. 2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0. 3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5. It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops. Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID. I know you guys knew that already... lol

The only time I even mentioned a migraine was in my own experience. I've mentioned MULTIPLE times that women need energy to get through labor. They could have also given me glucose in my IV but they wouldn't even do that. I'd like to see you stay awake for 36 hours with no food, no water, low blood sugar, no energy, in a shit ton of pain, and at the end push out a baby. My own nurses later, when I used certified nurse midwives, allowed me to have a healthy meal in early labor. The UK allows it. It's the US that over-medicalizes birth, and we do not have better outcomes for it.

@ImpossiblyPink @rrsubii @AngelMD1103 Ya sorry we just won’t agree on this I think having a migraine is the better option than taking the ‘extremely small, fraction chance’ I’d also trust the doctors and nurses who are giving this advice a lot more than the average twitter user too To each their own though

@TimKoltek @MattWalshBlog It's almost like if you pay security screeners, they don't call out. Also, the contractors still follow the federal system and are overseen by TSA.

@MattWalshBlog @MattWalshBlog This is exactly what they do at SFO, and guess what? No lines.

The current chaos at airports is just another argument for privatizing airport security. TSA agents are horrible at their jobs. The DHS admitted back in 2017 that, when tested, TSA misses up to EIGHTY PERCENT of weapons and contraband smuggled through screening. And now we have to wait in line for three hours because funding for an incompetent agency with an 80 percent failure rate is being held hostage. The whole thing is insane. Get the government out of airport security. They suck at it. And it's just another bargaining chip these sociopaths can use for their own political agendas.

The test you and everyone else likes to refer to was a red team test, not a typical passenger screening. They are small tests and not indicative of a daily screen at TSA, which finds dozens of guns daily, plus tasers, knives, and other prohibited items. I've never seen anyone explain how paying people minimum wage via a private company is going to make air travel safer. You don't like TSA officers? Wait till you are paying them $12/hr and see what kind of talent you find.

@CalebDeaver5 @AngelMD1103 Why do you assume there is no risk to keeping a woman from ingesting food or water?

@ImpossiblyPink @AngelMD1103 Reducing and controlling risk is the definition of ethical. Stfu, a fast won’t kill them it’s okay

We aren't talking about a child's life being at risk from eating. There is an extremely small, fraction of a percent chance of aspiration pneumonia. It's the only reason a woman is told not to eat. If anything the child's life is less in danger from the woman maintaining enough energy to follow through with a normal labor, rather tan becoming so exhausted that Pitocin is needed, which can endanger the baby and does increase the risk of needing a c-section. There is a reason most women try to get something to eat before leaving for the hospital.

@ImpossiblyPink @rrsubii @AngelMD1103 If the women’s health issue is a migraine then no i don’t think a migraine should be a considered factor when deciding to put a childs life at risk or not I think it’s genuinely ridiculous to think otherwise

Most c-sections are going to have done via an epidural. An extremely urgent one may be via general. And that is about a 1% chance. So it's still an extremely small chance of complications. And most people aren't going to be eating in end stage labor. We are talking when it first starts. So still, your stomach is going to be mostly empty.

@ImpossiblyPink @AngelMD1103 I will agree with you on how hospitals try to control people. I've lost almost all trust in the Healthcare system. But I do know that eating before a surgery can be fatal... so what happens if she needs a C-section?
