The corruption here is off the charts. Rand Paul has just released a trove of emails showing Fauci soliciting various so-called scientists to nominate him for awards, many of which Fauci then went on to win, receiving substantial prize money in the process. This needs to be forensically dissected, preferably by the DOJ. But even looking at just one example, Barton Haynes of Duke, the questions are staggering. Fauci personally petitioned Haynes to nominate him for an award, which Fauci ultimately won, including $1 million in prize money. That alone raises serious ethical concerns. But what really knocked me off my chair is that Haynes has received something like $1.2 billion (with a "B") in funding from Fauci’s NIAID. The entire system is totally compromised, with a small circle of elites effectively doing favors for one another, all at taxpayer expense.

Only in America does someone step out in a $150 sneaker, sip $8 coffee, post from a $1,000 phone, and claim they are oppressed and capitalism is broken!

There is a famous photograph from the Korean War of a young Marine officer scrambling over a seawall, rifle in hand, leading his men off the boats and into the fight at Inchon. The man in that picture, Lieutenant Baldomero Lopez, was dead within minutes of it being taken. He is one of the very few people on earth photographed in the last moments of his own life while earning the Medal of Honor. Lopez was a Tampa kid, the son of Spanish immigrants, sharp enough to earn his way into the Naval Academy at Annapolis. By September 1950 he was a Marine first lieutenant, and he came ashore in the assault waves at Inchon, the daring amphibious landing that turned the whole war around. That is where the photographer caught him, going up and over the seawall at the head of his platoon, straight into the teeth of the beach defenses. The beach was a mess of enemy bunkers and pillboxes, and one of them had his men pinned down with automatic weapons fire. Lopez did what a good officer does. He went after it himself. He crept up alongside the position, pulled the pin on a grenade, and raised his arm to throw it into the gun port. At that exact instant an enemy gun caught him, hitting him in the shoulder and the chest. The wounds knocked him backward, and the live grenade fell out of his hand and dropped to the ground right next to his own Marines. He was badly hit, bleeding, in shock. His arm no longer worked well enough to pick the grenade back up and throw it clear. He had a couple of seconds and one terrible decision to make. He could roll away and try to save himself, and let the grenade go off among his men. Or not. Lopez pulled the grenade in underneath his own body, wrapped himself around it with a sweep of his ruined arm, and took the entire blast into himself. It killed him. It saved the men around him. He was twenty five years old. His parents received his Medal of Honor. And that photograph of him going over the wall has hung in Marine Corps history ever since, a young officer forever frozen at the front of his men, seconds from giving up everything so they could live.

LETS CONNECT THE DOTS… 1: Why did Obama and his allies go to such extremes (possibly even treason) to sabotage Trump before he took office? Because Trump wasn’t just a political threat. He was a threat to everything they were hiding. 2: From Bush Sr. to Obama, a decades-long web of corruption, shadow power, and cover-ups ruled Washington. Trump didn’t play along. He didn’t need them. He was the wrecking ball aimed at their entire machine. 3: Bush Sr. laid the foundation—former CIA Director turned President. Covert wars. Drug trafficking. Money laundering. Off-the-books operations. The deep state as we know it was built on his watch. 4: The Clinton’s cashed in. Mena Airport. ChinaGate. The rise of the Clinton Foundation as a global pay-to-play empire. Every scandal vanished down the memory hole. Protected. Insulated. Untouchable. 5: Bush Jr. enabled the next phase. 9/11 gave them the excuse. Surveillance exploded. Patriot Act. Black sites. Secret kill lists. The military-industrial complex raked in trillions while Americans gave up their rights. 6: Obama sealed the system. He promised hope and change. Delivered mass censorship, intelligence manipulation, and weaponized federal agencies. IRS against dissidents. DOJ to cover tracks. Intelligence turned inward. 7: Then came Trump. He talked openly about human trafficking, corrupt intelligence players, globalist control. He signed orders. Froze assets. Threatened their black budgets. He wasn’t one of them—and that terrified them. 8: They hit back with everything: Illegally unmasking his team Fabricated dossiers FBI infiltration Russiagate Two sham impeachments Full-blown lawfare Why? Not politics. Self-preservation. 9: The media calls it “Resistance.” It’s not. It’s a criminal enterprise trying to bury its tracks—before Trump exposes the rot they’ve spent 30+ years protecting. This wasn’t about stopping Trump. It was about stopping the truth. 10: And now? The desperation is louder than ever. They’re unhinged. Coordinated. Frantic. Why? Because Trump still knows. They know that it’s all out there now . The empire wears no cloths. 11: This is the fight of our lifetime. Not left vs right. Truth vs power. And they’re losing control of the story." 12: Like I’ve been saying ever since I retired from the OSI back in 1978 when I felt like I was protecting national security by protecting the lie. Well, I’ve been praying for this day to come and not to tell all the people who said I was a conspiracy theorist, but because the only thing that is going to heal this Nation is the TRUTH!!

@adfelly First point - “might” is a tenuous word, and one I’m probably not as sold on as most. Second point - totally comical. I don’t vouch for the lists accuracy by any means, that being one major example. But the list itself speaks to us being an afterthought

@TimEll13 I think we might actually surprise a few people. And Mason Posa not on this list is just comical.

Whether truly accurate or not, no Badgers on this list really reflects the state of our program and how far we’ve fallen under Fickell. Hard to be less enthused for a football season than I already am.

Very cool! Is that the coaches office? Locker room?

A woman booked 40+ flights over 6 years for work and vacations. She cleared her cookies before searching. She booked on Tuesdays because she'd read that was cheapest. She thought she had the system figured out. Her brother-in-law — a former airline revenue analyst who spent 7 years pricing seats for a major carrier — sat next to her at Thanksgiving while she booked a flight on her phone and just watched. "You're doing the one thing that actually doesn't matter, and skipping the five that do. Airlines don't price flights the way you think they do. There's no 'best day to book.' There's a system, and it has nothing to do with clearing your cookies." He spent 15 minutes walking her through how fares actually get set. Her next flight cost $210 less than the one she'd almost booked. Same seat. Same airline. Same day. Here's everything he told her.

My committee combed through millions of COVID documents, and what did we find? Anthony Fauci destroyed records. He told others to delete emails. And then he told them to delete them from deleted files. He and his allies privately doubted the "implausible" line on a lab leak while publicly attacking anyone who raised it. And he never took responsibility for funding dangerous research in China. Next week, Dr. Fauci goes under oath in front of my committee, and he’s going to answer for everything we’ve found.

Thousands of wrong answers. 👀 One simple question.❓ Can you get it right?

So long, America🫡🇺🇸 49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us. This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA. Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited. So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome! I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly: “If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.” Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

I like it

Geniuses the hard Question is here Top level IQ is needed... No hints just brains What's the total?

On a freezing December morning in 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was reviewing budget proposals when his secretary nervously informed him that a 73-year-old woman named Mrs. Eleanor Mitchell from Abilene, Kansas—his childhood Sunday school teacher—was in the White House lobby asking to see him without an appointment, and instead of having staff politely redirect her, Eisenhower literally ran down the hallway, swept this elderly woman into a huge bear hug, and cleared his entire afternoon to have tea with her in the residence. What makes this moment so breathtakingly beautiful is that Mrs. Mitchell had taught a scrappy young Dwight Eisenhower Bible verses every Sunday from 1907 to 1911 in a tiny church basement, making him memorize Proverbs and Psalms when he'd rather be playing baseball, and she'd written him letters throughout his military career—through both world conflicts, through his rise to Supreme Commander, through his election—always addressing him simply as 'Dwight' and reminding him that 'character matters more than rank.' Eisenhower told his staff that Mrs. Mitchell once made him apologize to the entire Sunday school class for being prideful after he'd bragged about winning a spelling bee, teaching him a humility lesson that shaped his entire leadership philosophy, and he'd never forgotten how she'd pulled him aside afterward and said, 'Dwight, you're going to do important things someday, but never let success make you forget where you came from or who helped you along the way.' During their White House tea, Eisenhower introduced Mrs. Mitchell to every cabinet member who passed by, saying with genuine reverence, 'This woman taught me everything that matters—respect this lady,' and she gently scolded him for not attending church regularly enough, which made the most powerful man in the world laugh and promise to do better. When Mrs. Mitchell left that evening, Eisenhower walked her personally to her taxi, kissed her cheek, and pressed an envelope into her hand containing a check for her church and a note: ‘For the place that built my foundation—thank you for seeing potential in a troublemaker farm boy. Your student always, Dwight.' What absolutely destroys you is understanding that Eisenhower commanded armies and led nations, but he never forgot the Sunday school teacher who taught him that true strength was moral courage, proving that the greatest leaders never outgrow gratitude and that honoring the people who shaped you when nobody knew your name is the most presidential thing you can do.

Truth

I know countless millions of people love soccer, and it can be a thrilling game, as we witnessed repeatedly during the World Cup, but it suffers from a fundamental structural flaw. Because offense is in such short supply at this level, scoring is highly dependent on penalties. This means that scoring often comes outside the normal flow of play, and incentives flopping and pretend injuries that are unworthy of grown men—you think someone rolling around the turf in agonizing pain is going to have to be transported immediately to the hospital, then you look up and he’s played another 45 minutes, no problem. Then, there’s the courting of artificial penalties—a player steps in front of another, gets bumped, and proceeds to pretend he got shot. Whatever the other merits of soccer, this stuff is a blight on the game and brings an element of low comedy to even the highest-stakes competition.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the largest sporting event in the history of the world, shattering previous attendance record by double digits. America- we got it done, ZERO major security incidents across our nation while we hosted the equivalent of 78 super bowls in 38 days, along with 40 base camps, endless fan zones, and celebrations in nearly every state. President Trump promised his administration would deliver the most safe, secure, and fun environment for FIFA. He started by establishing the White House FIFA Task Force some 16 months ago, and we got right to work. This FBI led the charge dedicating nearly 5,000 personnel to the effort out of HQ, field, and international offices - across 16 host cities. And, none of what we accomplished is possible without our federal, state and local partners who all put in the same relentless effort. It’s the largest resource dedication the FBI has EVER made for a any event. This FBI stood up a Joint Ops Center, International Police Coordination Center, Intelligence Coordination Center, and more - all from scratch- to collect and share intel in live time. We established the first ever counter-UAS drone school, training members of law enforcement from across the country for the World Cup- we seized over 700 drones near FIFA airspace. Whether it was UFC 250, SAIL 250, State Fair 250 or so many other events happening simultaneously- we DELIVERED the safest and most secure World Cup in history. President Trump's leadership set the course, he led the way, and this FBI and our partners rose to the challenge- thanks to all our partners, @FIFA @DHSgov @WHTaskForceFIFA and their Director Andrew Giuliani.
