@BluefishAgain @RWMaloneMD Yes, please! We definitely need judicial accountability. Every layer of government needs more transparency and accountability.

Progressive Judge Saylor knows that the Education Department has the statutory ​authority to race-related data, as it is required to be collected by Federal law. Colleges get paid to collect this data. But this leftist judge then ruled ⁠that because the Feds "rushed" their requestfor the data, colleges don't have to turn it over to the Feds. The bizarre logic being that because colleges haven't been forced to turn over this data for a number of years and now were given a deadline to produce the data, that left universities "vulnerable to inadvertent ​errors" in the data collection. Now - this is data that the WE, the taxpayers are paying for to be collected. The Dept of Ed. literally pays colleges to collect this information. Therefore, that data should be available to the Education Dept. at any given time. Furthermore, this is the day and age of the computer. Tabulating and then sending off an spread sheet to the Dept. of ED is a click of a button. No one is collating this data by hand. Was this data even collected? Why did colleges sue the Trump administration when asked to produce the data? Is this more fraud by colleges who either didn't collect the data or lied - to get more Federal dollars or show that they were reaching certain quotas? Why don't they want to turn over the data? You can't make up that crazy, cherry-picked justifications that these progressive judges use to block President Trump's right to govern.

@jameszimmermann It saddens me that the vast majority of the music world is so lost in leftist ideology many actually believe everyone else are evil “racists/misogynists/fascists/etc.” I hope this changes soon. We should be making music in unity, not judging and condemning.

It’s an old friend’s birthday today, guy I text every year without needing to be reminded. Went to his Facebook to see how he’s doing, realized he blocked me on every platform. He’s a clarinet player I went to college with, we admired and pushed each other. We were Tanglewood fellows too, he even flew to my parents’ house in Jersey the night before and we roadtripped up to Massachusetts together. When we got principal jobs in major orchestras we celebrated each other’s wins, as friendly rivals do. My old photo albums are full of pictures of us together. I shouldn’t be sad or surprised because this has happened so many times, but it still stings. I admire Trump’s ability to turn on disloyal people but that’s not in my nature, I have that “sensitive young man” thing that makes me a good musician. I’m more used to it now than I was before but it never goes away completely. It’s true I have much better friends now and it’s good to let “soul contracts” expire but social death is not for the faint of heart. Hopefully someday we’ll all look back on this stupid period of social history with great disdain. I’m optimistic we’ll find a better way, that’s one thing I haven’t lost.

@MJTruthUltra Patch the blue heeler is obsessed with the snow.

Need some positive vibes up in here… Let’s do a dog/cat photo thread… Does anyone have any pics of your fur babies you’d like to share? Let’s see ‘em

We must ensure it never happens again. If there’s no justice, it WILL happen again, guaranteed.

@atensnut Teat. Can be very therapeutic.

I can only think of one. 🤔

@CNviolations Gladys

Give her a name

@Whiplash437 @SunTzusWar There aren’t many justifiable homicides. But this is one of them.

This is John Eisenman. He lost his daughter to sexual trafficking. She was sold for $1,000 in Seattle Washington. He did what a father should do and researched, investigated and found out about her abduction. He RESCUED her HIMSELF. He found out the person who sold her into trafficking was her 19 year old boyfriend. He met up with him, abducted him, bludgeoned and stabbed him to death in Nov, 2020

I am angry. We have a Congress that refuses to do what they’ve been elected to do. They demand the sexual crimes and misdeeds of others be exposed, while voting to conceal their own inappropriate and potentially criminal sexual misconduct. They make $174,000 a year, much more than the average residents of their individual states. But that isn’t enough for them. They use the information they have access to as legislators to buy and sell stock and make themselves filthy rich. Emphasis on the FILTHY. They work part time. Their travel is paid for, and they live the lives of wealthy elites, thanks to us, their constituents. All of this they do, while flatly refusing to pass legislation that nearly 85% of us want. Legislation to secure American elections, the core of America’s future. They don’t care about their constituents. Or about the future of this country. The Democrats are so consumed by their hatred of Trump, they don’t give 2 shits about the damage they do. And the Republicans are pathetically weak and led by RINOs who care more about back-slapping with the Deep State than protecting the Republic. Yeah, I am angry. I am actually disgusted. Aren’t you? @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @LeaderJohnThune @SpeakerJohnson @POTUS @VP

@KenPaxtonTX I voted for you, so I’d hate to see you drop out. But I respect the sentiment, and hope that if it comes to that, the President has you in mind for something like Special Prosecutor. Still lots of corruption to root out—particularly in Congress.

The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I'm committed to helping President Trump get it done. I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act. John Cornyn is a coward who has refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill. Now, Fake News reporters and the establishment are trying to destroy me with misinformation. The truth is clear: No one has been more loyal to Donald Trump than me—fighting the stolen 2020 election, being in Mar-a-Lago when he announced his 2024 campaign, and standing with him in NY in the face of lawfare. For the good of our country and for the good of passing President Trump's agenda, I am determined to help him get this done.

@DC_Draino Cornyn will likely be gone soon, too. He’s not as bad as the rest, but still an old-school Bush RINO. Cornyn had a war chest of like $77M versus Ken Paxton’s $4M and Paxton wound up neck and neck with Cornyn. I think Paxton gets the nomination after the run-off.

Tillis - almost gone. McConnell - almost gone. Murkowski - gone if Alaska abolishes ranked choice voting. Curtis - exposed his Democrat roots and will be a 1 term Senator.

@ThomasSowell This sums up the Democrats for decades. Until they all went batshit insane, and revealed themselves to be intolerant, hateful, totalitarians.

@jameszimmermann Now there’s a sermon I needed to hear!

Always astonishes me how few musicians are in good physical shape. Look in any orchestra locker room or recording studio, lots of soft bodies. Playing an instrument is physical, it’s much easier to play well when you’re in top cardiovascular and muscular shape. Really baffling.

@TheAtlantic @anneapplebaum “No tools to communicate with the Iranians.” We literally live in the age of email, social media, live translation AIs, etc. The entire world is at our lips or fingertips. How can we take this garbage rag seriously?

The U.S. bombardment of Iran was launched without a real plan for the Iranian people, @anneapplebaum argues: “We don’t have any tools to communicate with the Iranians, and we don’t have any tools to help build a legitimate state” determined by them.

@KatieMiller @richardjesus777 Deport and/or denaturalize them. They are not Americans.

The same University that hosted Ahmadinejad is now chanting Death to America. Columbia should not receive another cent from the US Government.

@Rothmus The cure for pedophilia.

@WallStreetApes @THEDuaneCates I know a lot of diehard Texan Whataburger fans. But it’s been overrated and overpriced for a long time. I’ll go in a pinch, but that’s extremely rare. There are plenty of better options.

American shows how “paper thin” the hamburger patties at Whataburger have become Whataburger is another popular fast food chain that’s become a casualty of private equity Whataburger was acquired by a Chicago based private equity firm in 2019

@atensnut They totally understand this. It’s why they’re so against it. They’re just performing for their brainwashed NPCs.

Goodnight 💤. Why can’t Congress understand this?

@Milajoy @aquabella415 But first, she needs to face justice and jail time not just for immigration fraud but whatever fraud she committed (likely related to “Learing Centers”) that necessitated laundering roughly $30M through nonexistent businesses.

Do NOT let this fade. Keep the pressure on. Ilhan Omar and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi’s (Omar’s BROTHER) marriage certificate. This incestuous SICKO married her full blood brother to skirt immigration laws. Denaturalize and deport her.

@SenWarren Kind of a self-own there, Pocahontas. Everyone knows this was from “Bidenomics.” Inflation, thankfully, is now under control under new leadership.

Trump is lying. Coffee is up 18.3% Ground beef is up 17.2% Cereal is up 6.2 Bananas are up 5.4% Fish is up 5.1% Cookies are up 5%
