Did Swalwell use taxpayer money to silence his victims?
We need immediate disclosure of every member of Congress who benefited from the disgusting sexual harassment slush fund.
Starting with Swalwell, if he is one of them.

🚨 $22,000 for EVERY TAXPAYER.
That's how much the California Democrat machine stole from you. $425 billion in fraud, waste and abuse over 5 years.
You should be enraged by this. Time for another taxpayer revolt. We will kick them out this year.
Steve Hilton@SteveHiltonx
NEW: Our 4th CAL DOGE Fraud Report. We analyzed Gavin Newsom's own public data to calculate the total amount of fraud, waste and abuse in the past 5 years. $425 billion. That's $22,000 for each taxpayer. Yet Democrat candidates for governor say we need MORE spending. No! As governor, with my Golden Ticket running mates @GloriaJRomero @MichaelGatesESQ@Herb4Controller we will stop the fraud, prosecute the fraudsters and get your money back. Thank you Herb, @JennyRaeCA and team for this report. Full details in the 🧵 @CalDogeOfficial

She started a media company. She's not just a podcaster.
There are millions more clicks and views outside the US if you criticize Trump and Israel than if you support him.
This is so transparently easy to see.
Candace and Tucker proved the concept.
The others are just following for the 💸💰.
John Ondrasik@johnondrasik
Spoke to someone who has known Kelly for decades who said she’s never had any core convictions but is also chasing the clicks 💰. Seems like it’s finally backfired and now on the verge of lunatic status like Candace.

How ruthlessly effective is the Democrat machine?
Eric Swalwell is asked to drop out of the race because a Republicans may actually win.
He refuses.
Party operatives tap into their pool of white liberal feminists and just like that, he's hit with not one...not two, but FOUR sexual assault accusations.
Of course, none of the victims can remember any details, just that it happened. The exact Blasey-Ford and E. Jean Carrol playbook.
Within an hour, the victim is being interviewed on @CNN.
The email goes out.
Almost immediately, the teacher's union is condemning him and Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries and every other Democrat on Twitter is calling for him to drop out of the race.
Keep in mind, when Tara Reade accused Biden of forcibly sexually abusing her, they called her a liar and nobody called for him to drop out.
This is all a coordinated attack because they've seen the internal polling that Steve Hilton may actually win this thing and they are sacrificing Swalwell because liberal idiots like him are a dime a dozen.

For the past decade, the center of the country "received freight", largely from the coasts, as a large percentage of trucking volume were related to imports.
For the past few months, that has flipped and now the center of the country has shifted from "receiving freight" to "pumping it."
The US economy goods is flipping.
The center of the country, the industrial heartland, is shifting to a primary source of domestic freight.

Despite war expense, the government is still $140b ahead of FY 2025.
War time Trump may end up more fiscally responsible than peace time Biden.

What Trump has done on spending, from a realistic point of view, is absolutely miraculous.
Setting this kind of trend has been the conservative holy grail for decades.
"Fissures in MAGA," though. Because Epstein or Israel or what the hell ever.

As an actual certified translator for the last 20 years I can tell you this, She is lying, while localization can be needed in some cases (specially with jokes that would not make any sense unless you localize them some times) to give an example there is Shrek, when this was translated to Spanish we do not have the Muffin Man rhyme so we switched it to a local rhyme called Pinpon, it made it funny and the point was made. The honorifics in Japan and in any other language should be left alone and not mess with, also you know they do that in bad faith when they add shit that was never said such as "fragile male".

Since Trump took office, over 352,000 Federal employees have been fired, resigned, or retired and were not replaced. The Federal workforce is smaller today than at any point since 1966.

Meanwhile, Tucker’s favorability with left-wing pundits and some anti-Trump figures is way up because they will side with literally anyone that they view as anti-Trump.
I’ve been a critic of Tucker for over a decade. Pointed out he was essentially a Marxist with an anti-American FP back when he was on FNC. Going back to when he was promoting Elizabeth Warren’s economic plans and covering for Assad’s massacres. Of course now his conspiracies and manipulation have become far more sinister and harmful, but he’s always been a dishonest fraud who will say anything to push an agenda.
Some people who claimed to be principled used to recognize all of this, but now eagerly promote him despite his demonic direction because they center their entire worldview around whether something helps or hurts Trump.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
Tucker Carlson has been in absolute free fall among the GOP. His net favorable has dropped by 47 points. Meanwhile, Trump crushes Tucker among the GOP. Trump's net favorable is 54 pts higher than Carlson's. When you up against Trump, you in the grinder to quote Good Burger.

US crude oil exports are skyrocketing:
US Gulf Coast crude exports are on track to average a record 4.90 million barrels a day in April based on current loadings.
That would be up +23%, or +930,000 barrels per day since March, and up +30%, or +1.12 million barrels per day since February.
At the current pace, May exports will exceed 5.0 million barrels a day for the first time in history.
This comes as Asian buyers are securing US cargoes to offset the loss of Middle Eastern supply while flows from the Strait of Hormuz remain significantly limited.
For May alone, 28 supertankers are already lined up to carry US crude, compared to 5 typically booked at this point in a month.
Global demand for American oil has never been higher.

IDEOLOGICAL CENSORSHIP.
@ABC7 News Los Angeles revealed that they are using AI to edit DHS statements to conform to their narrative bias, including the removal of an illegal alien’s criminal background.
There are no journalistic “ethics and standards” that empower the media to leave out key facts.
Furthermore, they decided to shamelessly lie in their article and claim that DHS did not respond to their inquiry.

You can’t reason someone into a view they didn’t reason themselves into.
None of the associated conspiracies are based on evidence. They just connect random dots without requiring any of it prove what they claim.
Thats why Candace Owens can spend a week on Egyptian planes using incorrect data and then just moves on as if it doesn’t matter that she can’t get even the most basic facts right, much less point to how it supports any conclusion.
So no amount of evidence against Robinson will convince them otherwise.

Because they are really just anti-Trump activists who have decided to use their past as part of a crusade against Trump.
Understand that they were never really required to put up any significant evidence of their "victimhood."
The first 30-35 ID'd by Florida law enforcement and the FBI in 2006-2007 all were verified as having had sexual interactions with him.
Epstein's plea deal required him to concede "liability" on civil claims, and set up a victim compensation fund. He did both those things -- they paid pretty much everyone. There was nothing in it for Epstein to demand trials.
After he died, they sued his estate and the banks that handled his money.
They ended up paying more than 300 claimants -- 10x the number actually involved in his Florida prosecution.
Were the largest part of this bigger group "victims"? Who can say for sure. Most were adults and their conduct was consensual. But they made claims and got paid.
Again, who was going to put themselves in a position of "defending" Epstein and what he did.
Those entities simply paid settlements without admitting liability and secured NDAs.
just me 🦋@Terrij7Terri
@shipwreckedcrew This was their chance. Why refuse?

Naturally she fails to understand the meaning of Mary Sue entirely. It does not mean "girl character", it means "perfect character who can do anything with no limitations".
Luke Skywalker was a half decent pilot with a degree of natural ability with the Force that takes him years to develop. He isn't particularly good at anything else.
From the very beginning of The Force Awakens, Rey is an expert pilot, a master martial artist, a top spaceship mechanic, and within five seconds of finding out that the Force exists ascends to the level of Jedi Master. She's also hot, smart, brave, and all the other good things. She needs neither assistance nor instruction. Character growth is unnecessary and impossible. Her only struggle is getting people to admit her natural perfect awesomeness. And even this comes easily to her.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
Daisy Ridley says calling her character in Star Wars A Mary Sue is sexist: “The Mary Sue thing in itself is sexist because it’s the name of a woman. Everyone was saying that Luke had the exact same [capabilities]. I think Rey is incredible vulnerable, and nothing she’s doing is for the greater good. She’s just doing what she thinks is the right thing. And she doesn’t want to do some of it, but she feels compelled to do it. So for me, I was just confused.” Is this why modern Star Wars fails because they can't understand criticism?

🚨 A revealing pattern is emerging when you look closely at who the U.S. and Israel targeted during the war.
The heaviest blows were directed at the IRGC and key political leadership, while Iran’s conventional army, the Artesh, was largely left intact.
This does not mean the Artesh operates fully independently of the regime, but the contrast is clear. One force was systematically degraded, while the other was not.
Inside Iran, the IRGC is widely seen as the regime’s ideological core, while the Artesh is often viewed as more closely tied to the population and made up largely of ordinary Iranians.
Whether fully accurate or not, this perception appears to align with the targeting strategy of the United States.
Now layer in the ceasefire.
Many IRGC hardliners have, at least publicly, opposed it.
Negotiating with the United States is being framed by them as capitulation, and that message is resonating with parts of their base. There is visible frustration among regime supporters, with some openly criticizing figures like Ghalibaf for even engaging in talks.
This reveals a deeper fracture.
On one side, elements pushing for negotiation to stabilize a deteriorating situation. On the other, hardliners rejecting compromise entirely, even as pressure mounts.
But the distinction is not true. The regime’s so-called “hardliners,” “moderates,” and “reformists” all operate within the same system and ultimately serve its survival.
Against that backdrop, the military targeting begins to look more strategic.
Weaken the ideological and hardline power centers, while leaving the conventional military structure in place.
It reflects a familiar approach used in Iraq: degrade the core political force - the Baathists in Iraq’s case and the IRGC in Iran’s - while preserving institutions that could shape what comes next.
Whether that calculation holds is another question.
The divide between the IRGC and the Artesh is not clean, and political influence runs deep across both. Assuming one can function independently of the other may prove to be a misread.
But the pattern is there, and this helps shed light on what the U.S. may be thinking and what informed its strategic strikes.
And combined with the internal backlash over the ceasefire, it points to a regime under pressure both externally and from within.
Thanks to @InsiderGeo to highlighting this.

🚨 Ghalibaf is positioning himself as the next godfather of the Islamic Republic. With Khamenei dead, a massive power vacuum has opened at the top of the regime. Despite Mojtaba being named Supreme Leader, many believe it is in name only, as he is reportedly incapacitated, raising the possibility that his appointment is a temporary cover while the real power struggle unfolds behind the scenes. This is the kind of power game the Islamic Republic has always been built on. It operates just like the mafia, running global rackets from drug trafficking to sex trafficking, murdering without remorse to consolidate power. Even their mannerisms mirror the mafia. Rivals hug and kiss in front of each other while plotting to eliminate one another, smiling in your face while quietly planning your downfall behind the scenes. Within this context, there is a growing theory that Ghalibaf is executing a calculated power play, a mafioso-style masterstroke to eliminate rivals and consolidate control. Rumours suggest he may have tipped off the location of Ali Larijani’s hideout, and possibly even sensitive high-level meetings, to the United States and Israel during Operation Epic Fury, enabling them to be targeted and eliminated. Ali Larijani was his biggest rival for the top spot. While it was not an open rivalry, Larijani was widely seen as having a stronger path to becoming the next de facto leader than Ghalibaf. The fact that so many rivals were eliminated in one swoop raises deeper questions. Some now speculate he may even have played a role in tipping off U.S. and Israeli intelligence about where Khamenei and top military leadership were gathered before they were taken out. Many other top IRGC commanders and security officials have also been eliminated during the war. Who is providing such precise, real-time intelligence? This feeds into a broader theory that he may have long positioned himself as a point of contact with the United States. When talk of “regime change” and dealing with “better people” emerges from Washington, despite the same system remaining in place, figures like Ghalibaf may be exactly who is being referred to. They may say that because they have been dealing with him for a while and believe he is the better option. Aspiring to lead Iran is nothing new - it has always been what Ghalibaf has wanted. In a 2024 IranWire report, individuals presenting themselves as advisers to Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf were quietly approaching European and American diplomats, portraying him as the man who could take over after Khamenei, stabilize the regime, manage internal factions, and re-engage with the West while sidelining more radical elements. He has consistently styled himself as an “Islamic Reza Shah,” a strongman promising order, nationalism, and control within the system, while also being someone who can work with the West. Is this now his moment, with backing from the world’s most powerful actor? Just like the mafia, power shifts by selling out your own to rise to the top. And while much of this remains theory, it fits a clear pattern of how he continues to survive, advance, and position himself. Now he is leading and openly meeting with those same U.S. officials he may have once backchanneled with in Islamabad. What was once hidden is now out in the open.

President Trump may have been speaking in jest, but it was a joke with a serious edge because Democrats are dead serious, and I hope he issues those pardons. Yes, it risks diminishing the gravity of the pardon power, but unlike the autopen pardoning thousands of people without Biden knowing anything about it, these pardons are necessary in order to head off the lawfare operatives who, as we speak, are methodically preparing to come after Trump and anyone who supported him.

🚨REPORT🚨 President Donald Trump has repeatedly assured top officials in his administration that he will issue them pardons before leaving office, according to individuals who have heard his remarks firsthand. “I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump joked during a recent meeting, drawing laughs from those present, sources familiar with the comments said.
