@Lukewearechange Ironic that the shooter was too far left

@nypost Why was she at his home…?

Vile video shows white supremacist Nick Fuentes pepper spraying, shoving Jewish woman outside his home trib.al/Ye4uIdN

I’m curious why they would turn the comments off for an ad like this…

@MarioNawfal The government haven’t “allowed” tensions to rise, they have intentionally stoked tensions to give themselves control

🇺🇸Asmongold just dropped his most conspiracy-brained take yet, and it’s honestly terrifying: if the assassination culture keeps rising without government intervention, the US will speedrun China’s surveillance state. He predicts wellness checks for internet posts, risk scores that send you to prison before you commit a crime, and total control that makes 1984 look tame.

@iheartmindy @gothburz The wine is a metaphor, you daft bimbo

@gothburz Was the wine supposed to be just decorative?

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

Leaked phone call from January 4, 2025 (3 days before the devastating Palisades Fire) The call is between Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and John Alle, a property manager and whistleblower in the Pacific Palisades, Westlake and MacArthur Park areas John Alle contacted Karen Bass to warn her about extreme fire risks due to weather conditions like high winds and dry brush Karen Bass tells him to “read between the lines,” “hold tight,” and that “you will understand soon.” She knew something was coming, almost like a planned fire (many believe the land grab) This call is interpreted as her knowing serious fire danger was imminent but not wanting to discuss what was about to happen openly…. Very cryptic

@benaveryisgood Live Derp with Kurp! @kurtmetzger

Whose podcast do YOU want me to do when I am in Austin, Texas this week?

@HarrisonHSmith Please don’t ask me two tell you who is who

Seeing these two guys talk to each other made me realize they are not the same person.

Are we living in a South Park episode…?

This is why we can’t allow the democrats to get into power.

Understand the meaning of this: Trump is losing it so badly, the President had to be excluded from the Situation Room during a high-stakes military matter.

A little short I made about Norm.

@LionelMedia I’d fucking take him at this point. At least when he was in office the republicans pretended to have a spine

OK, you don't like Trump. I got it. So you want this guy back?

@RichardGrenell Tax no one

UnAmerican. Tax everyone the same percentage!

@rabbriansamuel They aren’t nationalist, they are Jewish supremacist imperialists

Zionism is Jewish nationalism. If you are an American nationalist, why would you deny the Jewish people the same right?

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump It really sucks learning that all the spiritual leaders I grew up learning from turned out to be fake Christians

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

@RogerJStoneJr Then why are you flanked by the demon Ba’al?

I am but a soldier in the army of Christ

@agentsquirrel01 @BrandonStraka this is like a crazy ex saying “if you leave me I’ll kill myself and it will be your fault” The Republicans in office are responsible for this. I know you’re a squirrel but you don’t have to gobble their nuts so hard

@BrandonStraka 💯

Will you be voting in the midterms?
