Banana Republic Resident

@KenGardner11 Nothing “borderline“ about it. Hanging offense.

Whatever my problems with Republicans, I'm adding this video clip to my "why I don't think that I can never vote for Democrats" file. You don't go abroad and talk like this when your country is at war. It's borderline treason.

Speaking as someone inside Iran who stayed connected through Starlink during the total internet blackout, I want to say this loud and clear: President Trump’s recent video on Truth Social — showing Iranian protesters writing “President Trump please help” on walls, waving Lion and Sun flags alongside American flags, replaying raw footage of the revolution and saying “I’m with you, I will fight for you and I will win for you” — is music to our ears. The flames of the Lion and Sun uprising have not died down. They are simply waiting for the right moment to roar again. It was @realDonaldTrump, alongside @netanyahu and @PahlaviReza who told us to stay in our homes, stay safe, and wait until help arrives and Operation Epic Fury is complete. That’s exactly what millions of us have been doing. There is enormous pent-up anger, grief, and anxiety inside Iran right now — but also real hope. All of it is ready to be unleashed the moment the opportunity comes. The Iranian people are deeply pro-America. We need America’s support to finally envision a free Iran — a nation where values very similar to American ones can flourish once more, just as they did before 1979 and the arrival of this cursed, evil regime. Make no mistake: this is not a regime that will fade away or soften its terror on its own. Trust me when I say we have tried every possible path short of war. We exhausted every peaceful option — massive street protests, open resistance, attempts at gradual reform, dialogue, you name it. None of it worked. The regime’s only consistent answer has been bullets, executions, and fresh waves of fear. Right now there is deep internal fighting among regime figures. Mullahs and the IRGC are turning on each other, while the so-called “reformist” faction is nothing but the same old Islamic Republic in nicer clothes and smoother language. Do not be fooled by them. The only reason they are clashing is because their money flow has been disrupted, so they blame one another and scramble for more power. We tried to bring this regime down before, but we were mostly unarmed while they were armed to the teeth. Over 40,000 were slaughtered in cold blood, with many more executed, tortured, or thrown in prison. We need help to level the playing field. Then we will rise again—and this time, we will succeed. When we do, we will never forget who stood with us; our debt will be paid in full and more. Iranians are more pro-America than many Americans on X, because we have seen American values and said: “Yes, that is what we want too.” That includes the First Amendment — which needs no explanation — and the Second Amendment, which hits especially close to home. An armed Iranian people could never have been oppressed like this for so long. No one should ever have to surrender their guns, and no one should have to hide like a criminal just for having free internet. I should not be forced to run and conceal myself for simply owning @Starlink. The Iranian diaspora has been our voice when we had no internet. They have accurately represented us during these protests while the talks were happening, making it clear we reject any negotiation with this regime and want Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to represent the Iranian people — because no one inside this regime ever can. We are anxiously waiting for the opportunity. Let’s see if it comes. But make no mistake: the majority of Iranians feel exactly as I do. Make Iran Great Again. The world will soon understand why we say: Anything for freedom. Anything to end this evil. #IranMassacre‌ #IranRevolution2026‌ #KingRezaPahlavi‌ForIran

@JackPBrizendine @blacksburgfire They really don’t want you coming down on that fence.

Got into Lane in the moments leading up to the crash and was under the scoreboard right after it happened. Super scary but thankful @blacksburgfire was able to keep everyone safe 🙏

@Osint613 Is she being paid to speak? She’s so dumb it makes my head hurt.

Former VP Kamala Harris on the war with Iran: "He entered a war, got pulled into it by Bibi Netanyahu, let us be clear about that, entered a war that the American people do not want, putting at risk American service members."

@MagravatorMag @AAofOO @ThinkerThunker Thanks! I was getting ready to point this out. TT‘s work is LEGIT.

@AAofOO This has been out for a few years. It's 100% sasquatch. The vocals have already been analyzed by @ThinkerThunker youtube.com/shorts/8z10f7u…

"I’m starting to regret that I stopped at this rest stop…” said a trucker who captured eerie howling sounds that may just be Bigfoot. You’ve gotta hear it to believe it!

@SenRandPaul Hell Rand, based on what we are seeing from our judges all over the country, I think we’re all screwed.

Intel agencies have abused FISA to spy on Americans without a warrant. No more backdoor searches—if the government wants your data, they need a judge’s approval. Americans deserve real due process, not secret courts rubber-stamping warrants.

@AndyBitterVT Hey that’s a great idea! Super cool!

They're doing a punt-off at halftime, with VT's punters booting it to students who are down the field trying to catch it. If they do, they season tickets. This feels like a very Frank Beamer-like tribute to put punting in the spotlight like this. #Hokies

@CountryFirstRep Oh puh-lease. The pope is a commie.

Sean Hannity announced he is officially leaving the Catholic Church, over the dispute between the Pope and Trump. Hannity has chosen his master, and it clearly isn't God.

@treadmillhorse Dude. It was FREE ADMISSION, you literally didn’t have to try to sneak in.

“Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.”

Teams arent even on the field yet and already we are on the scoreboard!

He seems to be fine but is hanging from the top. #Hokies

@rawsalerts Because we all want to be sitting next to THAT GUY.

@NoQuarterMeme @EndWokeness How about just the ones who hate what our country was founded on, the Constitution… ?

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D): "USA was built by Somalis, Indians, Latinos, Africans"

@GuntherEagleman @EndWokeness She’s so uhgly inside and out no one wants her.

@EndWokeness Pramila needs to be deported for her stupidity alone.

@EndWokeness Did they dump all the tea in Boston harbor too?

@SlockStock @DudespostingWs I like it, adds some spice

@DudespostingWs Time to change that silly rule. Once a strike passes the bat, batter should already be out whether the catcher catches it or not. Shouldn't be rewarded for swinging at a pitch in the dirt, etc.

This might be the craziest way to win a state championship. The kid struck out, but the pitch hit the dirt and nobody threw to first because the other team thought the game was over. While they were celebrating, the runners kept going...

@TheWilderSide @DudespostingWs Yeah I am surprised that was approved.

@DudespostingWs Both teams being red is crazy

@Mashman78748 @DudespostingWs Thanks for the info.

The catcher's fault. If you drop the ball on strike three, it's a live ball. You need to either tag the runner (he's no longer a batter), or throw him out at first. I grew up a Reds fan watching Johnny Bench. and became a catcher. Johnny would tag ever batter after the 3rd strike no matter what, and that's what I did when I started to play catcher. The catcher clearly knew, he picks up the ball and looks to throw to first, but it appears that the first baseman is no longer there. You have to play every out.

Remember your Western Civ class folks?…

Kari Lake Rips Into 'Scumbag' Ruben Gallego Over Mile-Long List of Scandals She’s Been Warning About for Years Lake, who ran against Gallego for Senate in Arizona in 2024, says her opposition research binder on him was so thick she could barely carry it. Here’s just some of the dirt Lake shared about Gallego: - Lied on federal forms for his mortgage - Used a veterans home program meant for first-time buyers to purchase a second million-dollar home in D.C. - Lied about his primary residence - Changed his name to Gallego to hide that his father was a convicted felon and drug trafficker for the Mexican cartels - Democrats nicknamed him 'The Troll' for creeping out women - Accused of workplace harassment — then got the 20-year-old female staffer fired instead of finding out what he had done - Served divorce papers to his pregnant wife just days before she gave birth… then tried to make her pay his legal fees "His past is DISGUSTING... It makes total sense that his BFF in the world, as he said, was Eric Swalwell. They are cut from the same cloth. They’re two peas in a pod. These guys vacation together." "We all saw the picture of them topless on the beach together, riding a camel. By the way, that was paid for by the Qatari government. I think I heard it was an $80,000 trip." Wow. The Senate has a lot to work with for its newly confirmed investigation into Gallego.
