@DefiyantlyFree My guess is, if Bongino was still at the FBI, Carlson would be in handcuffs.

Tucker Carlson interviewed both the Qatari Prime Minister (facilitated by a Qatar-paid lobbying firm) and the Iranian President (before the war). He then visited the White House multiple times lobbying against military action against Iran while simultaneously texting with Iranian contacts. Operation Epic Fury launched February 28. Khamenei was killed. Carlson publicly called the war “absolutely disgusting and evil.” Was he meeting with Trump to pass Iran intelligence?

@EthanLevins2 @InkedDoll Prove it. Show the receipts.

@grey4626 Totally spot on in every way, except for one small point: they’re desperate to blame the Jews so they’ll spout any moronic theory that comes up.

This is for the forensic midwits and conspiracy-coping clowns furiously retweeting “BULLET DOESN’T MATCH” headlines like you just cracked the case of the century. The defense filed their predictable delay motion yesterday...standard legal theater...and now you’re acting like the ATF’s inability to conclusively match a fragmented .30-06 soft-point from Kirk’s autopsy to Robinson’s Mauser is some smoking-gun exoneration. Newsflash, idiots: that’s not how terminal ballistics works. Soft-point hunting loads are engineered to yaw, expand, mushroom, and shatter on bone and tissue. The resulting fragments lose the microscopic striations, lands, and grooves that ATF and FBI examiners rely on for a textbook identification. “Unable to identify” is not “did not come from.” It’s Criminology 101 and standard FBI protocol on deformed projectiles. The Bureau is already running secondary comparative bullet-lead analysis and compositional testing because real investigations don’t hinge on one mangled chunk of copper-jacketed lead. While you’re cumming your pants over forensic gray area, the actual case is an avalanche that buries your narrative addiction six feet deep: Robinson’s DNA slathered across the rifle, the towel, the engraved casings screaming his exact Discord furry-meme edgelord brainrot..."Hey fascist! Catch!”...the confession he gave his own father who turned his treasonous ass in, the texts admitting he ditched the weapon, the pre-shooting manifesto, roof-access prints, surveillance on the car and clothing, Discord victory lap. Chain of custody is ironclad. Motive is explicit. Occam’s razor just castrated your “deep-state false-flag” fantasy. This is why you’re so desperate to sow doubt: your psychology is pure projection. Accepting that a 22-year-old ideological radical with grandpa’s bolt-action pulled the trigger is too banal, too ugly, too simple for your dopamine-starved need for grand cabals and puppet masters. It’s easier to LARP as “truth-seekers” than confront the fact that evil often wears a Reddit-tier manifesto and a borrowed rifle. Cognitive dissonance this severe is pathetic. The case isn’t collapsing. The defense is just buying time while the mountain of direct and circumstantial evidence stays exactly where it belongs...on Robinson’s neck. Stop embarrassing yourselves with performative skepticism and half-baked “truther” theatrics. Facts don’t bend to your feelings, motherfuckers. Precision over cope. Full fucking stop. 💀🗡️

@Matt_Pinner Ferris!

If you know what movie this picture is from I will follow you..

@Sadie_NC @MaxxPowr Absolutely. They’re useless to us and obstruct us when we need them, which is rare anyway.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just dropped a truth bomb: "If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense when we need them, we ought to close them down and remove our troops from Europe!" We’ve been Europe’s bodyguard, landlord, and ATM for 80 years while they trash America and live rent-free off our military. No more freeloading. Time to pay the rent… or we’re changing the locks.

@Maga4liberty @PrezLives2022 What reports? From CNN? Al Jazeera?

Reports claim some US troops may be failing drug tests to avoid deployment⚠️🇺🇸 What would you say to those troops???

@LangmanVince It’s a hard call, but the Moron Awards are coming up and I hear they’ve both been nominated.

Who's been the biggest disappointment over the last few months? Megyn Kelly who's gone full blown Israel Derangement Syndrome Or Jack Posobiec who's been completely silent while Candace Owens attacks Eric Kirk and has shown zero support for Trump's Iran conflict.

@emilykschrader Bullseye! The man’s an absolute idiot.

Literally no one is talking about using a nuclear weapon you hysterical propagandist…and I’m sorry but where the f*** were you when the regime was slaughtering thousands of protesters in the streets in January including hundreds of of children?! When they were executing teenagers all last week!? Oh, that’s right, you were making a mockery of it all by whining like a moron about Gaza when there’s a freaking ceasefire now. Not a WORD from you during that time about the Islamic regime in Iran, but now you wanna bitch about the only entities actually fighting this regime because you’re concerned about Iranians!? Mark, with all due respect, which is literally none, go f*** yourself.

@TheOfficerTatum It appears the bullet was too fragmented to get a rifling match with the weapon’s barrel. Naturally the defense is blowing this up, and thousands of fools are already screeching “coverup!” It’s exhausting.

The gun not being a match AND unable to match the gun with the bullet are two different things. Gun not being a match means that the bullet was traced back to a gun that wasnt the suspects gun Unable to match the gun means the bullet was so fragmented they were unable match the bullet to any specific weapon, including the suspected weapon. Two different things.

This is a very realistic view if you understand absolutely nothing about the Middle East and have failed to notice that Iran is run by murderous thugs who’ve been fomenting worldwide terrorism since 1979. Yes, we should be friends with a fanatic regime that oppresses women, hangs them for impious fashion, and slaughters its own citizens by the tens of thousands. (And this idiot actually gives other people advice??)

I don't understand why the U.S. strategy is organized around containing Iran. We should be friends instead of enemies. Israel is the main problem in the Middle East. Not a realistic view, I know, but it seems pretty obvious.

@TonyLaneNV @TaiChi_John Idiots. The bullets shattered into twisted fragments, which makes it impossible to match them to the barrel’s rifling. The defense is pulling an O.J. Glove trick and you’re buying it.

BREAKING: This case just took a wild turn… The bullet that killed Charlie Kirk? According to a new court filing… It does NOT match the rifle tied to the suspect Let that sink in The defense says the ATF couldn’t link the bullet to the weapon And now they’re calling that key evidence into question It gets deeper… • Multiple DNA profiles found on evidence • FBI + ATF reports still being analyzed • 20,000+ files dumped on the defense This isn’t a simple case anymore This is turning into a full-blown forensic battle And if the science doesn’t line up… everything changes Do you think this weakens the case… or just delays the inevitable? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

Your comprehension of realities in the Middle East isn’t deep enough to fill a sewing thimble. Mohamed Safa is a liar, you swallow it hook, line, and sinker, and of course the Israelis aren’t remotely considering a nuclear strike because they don’t have to now. Iran’s military has been decimated by conventional weapons. And when are you going to start wearing a pin for the 40,000 Iranians slaughtered by the Regime? My money’s on never.

This is something I have been worrying a lot about. We have psychopaths waging this war. We have seen Netanyahu gleefully carry out a genocide in Gaza reducing it to a nuclear bomb site. Why would he not go further now in Iran? There has been absolutely no consequences for his war crimes in Gaza. Trump has only assisted them. This has got to stop. As the citizens of the world we have to stop this. They can not be allowed to carry out a nuclear strike on the millions of innocent people of Iran. These are our fellow human beings, regardless of their leaders. This is insanity.

@JessicaTarlov Jessica, you have no idea what the real world is like outside your privileged Manhattan bubble. This is war and Hesgeth’s rhetoric is actually mild. Look back at some of George Patton’s speeches circa WWII.

Saying this with a straight face is crazy

@joekent16jan19 @FrontierArt1 It’s remarkable that you, of all people, still don’t understand that Israel is the tripwire and bulwark stopping Islamist jihad and conquering of the West. It’s stunning that a vet who fought these Jihadi fanatics has no comprehension of how the Middle East works.

Winding down the war is the right call, but for any peace agreement/exit plan to work we must restrain Israel 1st. Israel will thwart any peace deal or come back to us in a few months demanding more support to topple the Ayatollahs & IRGC unless we restrain them now. Restraining the Israelis means taking away the military aid & support they need to conduct offensive military ops in Iran.

@mattaniahsherif @OlenaRohoza Bloody idiot. MBS's mother is Fahda bint Falah Al Hithlain, from the Al Hithlain clan of the Ajman tribe.

Well MBS pulled his head out of his ass. I still wouldn't trust him. He's a shlomo. His mother is an Ethiopian j#w. He got into power with the help of Jeffrey Epstein. He killed Kashogi the journalist. He killed his relatives to get into power. He wanted war with Iran. He gave Jared Kushner a $2B bribe.

“We will no longer purchase American weapons,” said the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in response to the acting leader of the United States. Until now, the money flowing into the American military-industrial complex was not just business. It was, in fact, a ritual of loyalty. You weren’t just buying missile systems — you were buying the right to belong. As of today, it’s over. This is how the Crown Prince responded to the insulting remarks made by the idiot Trump toward him.

@yaakovkatz He’s an idiot. The president of the Knesset refused to allow this in session so they had to sneak it in the hallway. These clowns have to go.

Jews don’t celebrate death - we sanctify life. Whatever your view on the death penalty, breaking open champagne to celebrate a law that takes life is fundamentally anti-Jewish. Many already understand this. Others will, in time. One day we will look back at Ben Gvir’s tenure and feel ashamed that we allowed something so corrosive into the sanctuary of power in Israel.

@WorkElizab Yes!

Did you watch it?

@AmitSegal Brilliant. No one has analyzed this properly but you.

Last night, Internal Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s law mandating the execution of terrorists convicted of murder passed 62–48. Ben-Gvir attempted to propose a toast, but before he could pop the cork on his champagne, the Knesset speaker demanded he stop, and the ushers confiscated the bottle. The stunt was much like the law itself: all style, no substance. Contrary to much of the rhetoric, Israel has had the death penalty for nearly 70 years. The original law was designed to execute Nazi war criminals but can technically apply to anyone who commits similarly genocidal crimes. Every prosecutor can request the death penalty, and under certain circumstances, judges may grant it. That’s why Ben-Gvir advertised his law as forcing left-wing prosecutors to request the penalty and left-wing judges to grant it for terrorists—particularly the Nukhba forces, who invaded Israel on October 7. In reality, it does neither. The law explicitly excludes Nukhba terrorists from receiving the death penalty and provides no evidentiary infrastructure or procedural framework to secure convictions. Its wording actually helps judges avoid the penalty, mandating only “death penalty or life imprisonment” for convicted terrorists. Those hoping this law would change the calculus of hostage deals should think again. Not only does it fail to reduce the number of terrorists in Israeli prisons, it does not abolish the president’s power of pardon—the primary mechanism for releasing terrorists in deals. Even if Ben-Gvir somehow manages to secure a death penalty, the law does nothing to prevent the conviction from being overturned or the terrorist from being handed over. The law does more than fail in its objectives—it actively backfires. Despite being marketed as targeting Palestinian terrorists (raising its own legal problem of discrimination), it explicitly allows for the death penalty for Jews. The law defines terrorism as acts “to negate the existence of the state,” a definition that could apply to groups such as extremist Haredi factions and violent members of the “Hilltop Youth” (which Ben-Gvir supports). Its most glaring flaw is that it mandates carrying out a sentence within 90 days—an explicit violation of the Geneva Convention’s mandatory 180-day waiting period. As a signatory, Israel could expose IDF officers to international lawsuits, with no tangible benefit. The IDF warned Ben-Gvir, but he disregarded their advice. Its blatant illegality gives the Supreme Court clear grounds to strike it down, returning Israel to square one while damaging the country’s international reputation. Had Ben-Gvir managed to keep his champagne, I would have proposed a toast—to a self-destructive law that makes Israel look terrible, benefiting no one but Ben-Gvir himself. L’chaim. That said, while Ben-Gvir’s law is essentially a campaign stunt, a more responsible law is making its way through the system. Proposed by MKs Simcha Rothman and Yulia Malinovsky, the law establishes the practical mechanisms—procedural and evidentiary—to secure convictions of Nukhba terrorists, after which the death penalty could be imposed. The Rothman–Malinovsky law was developed in consultation with all relevant authorities. The Shin Bet, IDF, and National Security Council have expressed similar concerns about Ben-Gvir’s law and consulted on this alternative. The death penalty is a complex issue. Personally, I support executing terrorists who attempt to murder civilians—especially the monsters of October 7. Currently, these terrorists face one of two outcomes: spend the rest of their lives in prison at Israel’s expense, or eventually be released in a hostage deal and likely return to terrorism. Neither option is good for Israel. What we can all agree on is that this issue demands a serious, responsible approach—one that prioritizes the security and best interests of the country over personal electoral ambitions.

@IonaItalia That is precisely it. They could cure paralysis and the haters would accuse them of coveting wheelchairs. They were never very good at PR, but now they’ve given up.

I agree that Israel is bad at propaganda. But there's no incentive for them to be any better at it. The people who hate Israel will continue to do so NO MATTER WHAT. The best actions in the world won't sway them. They are unpersuadable, so Israelis have ceased to care.

@AuthorGoodwin I think if the pitch letter is good, they’ll read a few pages. If those are good, they’ll keep going. At least that’s what my agent does.

Do you think literary agents genuinely read every submission? Or do you think that in reality, they skim the opening email, and in most cases go no further? #writingcommunity
