Ukrainian soldier records what he thinks will be his final video as his unit is surrounded by Russian forces. Look at the eyes of the soldier, you will feel this video.

@guypbenson @brithume What Texan talks like this?

James Talarico, April 2021: “God is nonbinary.” April 2026 (LAST MONTH, post-primary): If you disagree God is nonbinary, “take it up with the Apostle Paul.” Yesterday: You know, I may have “missed the mark.” Statement / double down this year / political quasi-retreat:

@RickyLaBlue Seems like a very public rebuke of Roccovich’s character. I hope she asked for his resignation first. A civil suit from Rocco seems imminent…

VA Governor Abigail Spanberger has sacked Virginia Tech Rector John Rocovich. In her notice to Rocovich, Spanberger says that Roco violated the Code of Ethics. We're going to have to wait and see what the actual allegation is, but on it's face, this feels extremely political.

@LawrenceBJones3 His words are authentic…he is looney

Here we go.. “missed the mark”

@greg_price11 @ProfMJCleveland Oh, sleep well; I’ll call the doctor in the morning

Jill Biden to CBS on the 2024 debate: “I was frightened because I had never seen Joe like that... I thought he was having a stroke." Jill Biden immediately after the debate in 2024: "Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the facts!"

My lord.

@brithume Power at all costs

Having been “scared to death” by his performance, she went on to tell him what a great job he had done.

@frontlinekit @Euan_MacDonald Heroes!!! Slava Ukrani

You know, when we started this drone factory, we were just two idiots trying to help Ukraine hit a million FPVs a year. Next thing you know, we’re out here accidentally becoming the Oppenheimer of kamikaze drones. Ours are now FULLY unjammable, as in, the russians can jam all they want, our babies just laugh and keep flying like they run on renewables. We’re about to delete A LOT of russian logistics. Like, ‘sorry bro, your supply truck just got yeeted into the next dimension’ levels of deleted.

@HarmeetKDhillon Live in a bubble, die in a bubble

On the edge of town...

@HolmesJosh @RuthlessPodcast On a national talk show yesterday, he “essentially agreed” that Israel was committing genocide. He is not a serious, solution oriented voice but rather mindlessly playing back far left talking points.

lol. If you listened to @RuthlessPodcast you knew the most white bread amongst them would sooner or later join the Hamas caucus.

@Kproffitt0 @CoachMeganDuffy @DuvalElite @SelectEventsBB @PrepGirlsHoops @PGHFlorida @SUTSReport The Cassell awaits our next queen…

After a great conversation with @CoachMeganDuffy I am blessed to have received an offer from Virginia Tech!

@afalkhatib Israel should start small & open a few safe haven “islands” in the green zone. The islands would be located halfway between the yellow line & Israel. This would provide Israel with both a buffer and ability to control the flow of arms into the islands while offering Gazan’s hope

Israel now controls 60% of Gaza’s territory and has slowly moved the “Yellow Line” westward, further narrowing the “Red Zone” where over 2.1 million Gazans live under Hamas’s control. Two schools of thought have emerged on what will become of the “Green Zone” that is under Israeli control. As some had originally envisioned, this area could be turned into a safe zone with developments that include temporary housing, safer communities, new schools and medical facilities, and economic opportunities for unemployed civilians to engage in work that is protected from Hamas’s taxation and interference - all while allowing for a deradicalization and an initiation of new narratives and perspectives away from violent extremism. Another school of thought that has emerged in recent months believes that Israel is no longer interested in having this area developed and is merely looking to use the “Green Zone” as a buffer zone to keep Hamas at bay, while dealing with the complex fronts in Southern Lebanon and Iran, pending the inevitable return to war in the Gaza Strip. Some contractors and prospective firms have submitted bids to clear rubble, build new camps, develop safer spaces for civilians, and offer security in the “Green Zone,” but have never heard back from the Board of Peace, Israel, or prospective donors. Furthermore, the International Stabilization Force (ISF), which is supposed to act as a buffer between Palestinians and Israelis in Gaza, starting in the “Green Zone,” has yet to be stood up or activated due to a continued lack of clarity on its mandate, and area of responsibility and operations. Regardless, now is the time to focus maximally on developing the parts of the Gaza Strip beyond the “Yellow Line” and begin the gradual movement of civilians away from the horrendously overcrowded and inhumane tents and displacement camps and into safer, cleaner, and promising spaces away from Hamas’s influence and to minimize risk to civilians should war return to Gaza in the near future.

@guypbenson Other than the breakdown at the border, the appointment of the Justice is likely Biden’s most consequential, negative decision of his presidency

the least politically-impartial justice on the Court has thoughts

@guypbenson Sherrod Spanberger

lol he’s a career politician & knows exactly what the issue is… he just realizes what his base wants to here is not gonna play in Ohio… so we get this nonsense

@MarkLevineNYC @elonmusk @SpaceX Now, please urge the NYC’s mayor to implement a transparent and fiscally viable budget that protects my grandkids future

.@elonmusk is planning to take @SpaceX public with the least democratic corporate governance structure ever seen in a major IPO. No independent Board. Musk would serve as both chair and CEO, with veto power over his own removal. Perpetual super-voting shares. Severe restrictions on shareholder legal action. I’m joining @NYSComptroller and @CalPERS to urge SpaceX to fix this, to protect shareholder rights and strengthen accountability. Together our pension funds manage over $1T in assets, including significant exposure to SpaceX. And through indexing, public pension funds and millions of Americans will become major shareholders after the IPO. Public markets work best when companies are transparent and accountable. For the public-sector workers and retirees we serve—and for millions of Americans with index funds—we strongly urge SpaceX to implement a more open and democratic governance structure.

@GovernorVA A little advice…stop posting about incessant political issues and start working to make our daily lives better

The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians. These Virginians made their voices heard — casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls. As Governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve.

@KatTimpf @guypbenson You will recover and rise even higher. Your Dad raised a strong woman with a heart which will enable your son to grow into a loving family man

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.   It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.   The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.   The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my  son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.   In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.   The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.   I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.   That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.   I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

@Mark_Penn @brithume Beyond disgusting and shameful

NY Times Does it again In the 1930s, they won a Pulitzer for romanticized reporting of Joseph Stalin that failed to uncover the deliberate starving of millions in the Ukraine. Then the paper won a Pulitzer for reporting that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when it turned out to be false. And then they won a Pulitzer for their coverage of the non existent Russia Russia hoax on the president that turned out to be an unsubstantiated Clinton oppo research scheme. Recently, they won a Pulitzer for a photo purporting to show a starving child that turned out to be a child with severe prenatal birth defects and a healthy mother and brother (who was cropped out). And now they publish an op ed (and let me tell you they fact check every single word of a moderate op ed for days) from Nicholas Kristof that carries unproven and impossible allegations of trained rape dogs from Hamas-affiliated sources. No award in sight yet but give it time. I don’t know how many more “awards” our country can withstand for this outlet’s nearly hundred year history of the amplification of politicized propaganda.
