@AFMBlog Just put in a few Mr. Cool mini splits and some transfer grills.

My neighbor is replacing their HVAC system today. Their house is slightly bigger than ours. Total cost for everything: $34,000!!!!! What in the hell? He said they have tripled in cost since COVID. What a crock of crap.

@patrickbetdavid Next you gonna try telling us you know how to change a tire.

Call me old school, but I want manual transmissions to make a comeback. Anyone who can drive a stick shift uphill without stalling is made for greatness.

@malmesburyman Independence Day by Richard Ford.

I want to read an American postwar novel of high literary merit and I really don’t want to hear that I should read Cormac Macarthy. What should I read?

@BamaSaltyMarine Like on a hot summer day when you have the ac blasting and the heat warmer in high. That kind of hurt?

Anybody else use the seat warmer in their car not because it's cold outside but because your back hurts cause you're old as hell?

@thecoastguy It’s not just you. It’s a bunch of 20 yo sound engineers who think that clear dialog doesn’t fit the feel of the moment or that a loud explosion isn’t loud enough until the viewer experiences an epileptic seizure.

I find the audio on new movies muffled and indistinct. Old movies are still fine. Is it just me?

@greta It’s a good deal, it’s so great … its the deal of deals by the greatest deal maker of all time and nobody, ever … or even AI, no matter how wonderful that’s going to be … so smart and fast, really, really fast … will ever see such a fantastic deal like this again.

Help me with this one: how does anyone know if the Iran deal (that we are hearing is nearing) is good or bad if the terms have not been made public?

@emilykschrader I don’t understand what you’re complaining about. All Trump did was do exactly what he wrote in his post. It’s an Art of a Deal kind of thing.

The American naïveté toward Iran has always exposed a fundamental weakness in U.S. foreign policy, historically and today. This is not a partisan issue, it’s an American one. Those blindly shilling for this proposed deal are not doing so because they possess some greater understanding of the Islamic regime than the general public. They are doing it out of loyalty to President Trump and fear of contradicting him publicly. This isn’t about Trump. It’s about what is right for America. The deal as discussed merely pushes an inevitable conflict down the road for someone else to deal with and, just as before, the longer this charade continues, the deadlier the consequences will be. The fact that White House staff are attacking anyone expressing skepticism toward what increasingly appears to be a historic capitulation to the Islamic regime is not because this is politically or morally correct. It is because they are afraid of offending the boss. That is spineless and it reflects everything wrong with modern partisanship. When President Trump is right, I have been among the first to defend him. And yes, there is undeniably a problem in the media with “Trump derangement syndrome.” But when some of Trump’s fiercest allies, along with leading experts on the Islamic regime, particularly Iranians who actually understand it firsthand, are sounding the alarm, it is not because they hate him. It is because they understand the nature of the regime and Islamist terror better. America has always struggled to understand Islamic terrorism because Islamist ideology does not operate according to the logic most Americans instinctively understand. The average American simply does not comprehend decision making rooted in Velayat-e Faqih. I want President Trump to succeed regardless of party because I love America and want it to be secure and successful. But based on what has been discussed publicly so far, this deal will not accomplish that. I also love the people of Iran and the people of Israel. This capitulation abandons them too. Trying to spin a temporary 30 to 60 day pause as a “peace deal” is propaganda. There is nothing peaceful about preserving an IRGC dictatorship that continues to brutalize 92 million people while funding terror across the region. Mark my words: every concession and every dollar released to the Islamic Republic will eventually be paid for in blood, first in the Middle East, and later in the West as well.

@AriFleischer It depends on who’s doing the actual surrendering.

Seems like we’re a long way from unconditional surrender.

@tedcruz @marklevinshow Ted, look at the bright side - you can always vote to impeach Trump to get back at him when the Dems take over after the midterms.

I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration. President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy. If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake. The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging. President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.

@bennyjohnson Did you just call Trumps “little excursion” a war?

🚨Trump Stuns World: Announces Imminent PEACE DEAL With Iran POTUS just got off a call with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, and Israel. A peace agreement with Iran has been largely negotiated. War will be OVER. The Strait will be OPENED. America will be STRONGER. Pay close attention to the people online who attack Trump for trying to achieve PEACE. They don't want peace. They want chaos and war and death. They want Trump and America to fail. Praying for PEACE 🇺🇸🙏🏻

@HunterBiden No they can’t and it’s a beautiful place to be.

Almost seven years clean and sober. Not a victory lap. Just a fact. To anyone in the fight right now: it gets quieter. Not easier. Quieter. In the quiet, you find out who you actually are. That’s the part they can’t take from you.

@marklevinshow It’s starting to like if you want your dreams of a greater Israel to come true you’re gonna have learn how to fight with something other than your mouth.

History tells us you’re a backstabbing SOB

@TheCinesthetic What… 11 or 12 minutes where the only dialog was “passport please”. It was like watching a Russian novel.

The finale of The Americans (2013) is genuinely one of the greatest TV finales ever made. The fact that it reaches that level almost entirely through tension, performances and emotional payoff instead of huge spectacle makes it even more impressive.

@nicksortor @MarioNawfal Forcing Trump to miss his son’s wedding? Somebody is making it personal. Now who in the world would do something like that.

🚨 NOW: President Trump is now BACK in Washington, DC after CANCELLING his weekend plans in New Jersey CBS is reporting intelligence officials have ALSO canceled Memorial Day plans, and are on standby. Something may be imminent 👀

@marklevinshow It’s beginning to look like you’re just going to have to go over there and do it yourself.

Hammer the bastards!  They’re rearming in front of our eyes!  End their delay strategy and this forever war!

@JOKAQARMY1 Maybe AI isn’t such a bad idea after all. At least the kids won’t be at the mercy of degenerates.

🤔

@greta It all depends on which Bear wants to move. If it’s Urlacher and if he’s gonna take his every other block hair transplant billboards with him - I’m all for it.

What is your opinion of the Chicago Bear possibly moving to Hammond, Indiana?

@DannyKPolitics It’ll happen right before this country turns into little fiefdoms.

Does the populist right need to unite with the populist left?

@realJennaEllis Probably because the Senate leadership is doing everything he wants. It’s all theater.

So I ask again… why isn’t Trump going after Senate leadership??

@MrSausageGet Weird how Trump can get rid of his conservative opponents but can’t get Thune to pass the Save Act.

As I have said before - Trump will eventually eradicate all conservatism from the Republican party. Burchett is probably in his crosshairs. MTG, Gaetz (yes, I believe he was removed intentionally), Bob Good, Massie, etc. There is no separation between the two parties
