Was struck again today that progressive women, especially (in my experience): 1. They actually do, nominally, want public order, and they do, nominally, want the government to "move along" the folks who are disturbing the public order. 2. But where their brain gets blocked is that they cannot support any muscular solution to the problem. Muscular solutions are supported by bad people, and they are good people. So, they really want to believe that education will solve the problem. We just need to tell this guy who is misbehaving in the public square everyday that his behavior is not OK, and he'll stop. Or, we need to offer these folks some kind of other support (like drug rehab)... but even then, you can't FORCE them into rehab, because that would be a muscular solution. So you want to tell them... OK, you want us to help the drug addict on the sidewalk, but you also want him to have an inviolable right to refuse all help. What do you think will probably happen? And they know, actually, what will probably happen, and when forced to think about it, it bothers them. But it doesn't bother them as much as supporting a muscular solution to the problem would bother them, because that's a thing bad people support.

Groceries. Gas. Now packages. Is there anything Donald Trump hasn't made more expensive? Call it what it is: the Trump Mail Tax.

@WarBlogle Bless your heart.

@Arkypatriot Been across that bridge many times.

Everybody that said Mississippi was right this was the bridge from Arkansas into Greenville, Mississippi Yes, I’m gone for a little trip to celebrate my niece and her one year sobriety Some of you may remember about 13 months ago, she was found on the side of the road in Kentucky beat up by her druggie boyfriend. Now she’s on her own her own apartment working and one year clean So enjoy X I’m going to be on some, but not as much for a few days

@GovPressOffice 🤡

NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING IF SHE WAS IN OFFICE

@Savageboston Who asked for this?

The Colbert LOTR movie is not some new crazy sequel. He’s adapting chapters 3-8 of the Fellowship of the Ring because they weren’t in the Peter Jackson trilogy. It’ll be Tom Bombadil and the Barrow downs.

@LarryKrasnerDA 🤡

And I’ll say it again.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Peter Jackson is teaming up with Stephen Colbert to create a NEW Lord of the Rings movie! This will be centered around the 6 chapters early in the Fellowship of the Ring that weren't developed in Peter Jacksons movies from "Three Is Company" to "Fog on the Barrow-Downs". This is going to be canon with Peter Jacksons lore. Phillipa Boyens is assisting developing the story. @warnerbros is the studio at the helm!

Accurate

@AndrettiIndy How did he let a foolish thing like that happen?

@Arkypatriot Kentucky fan here. I’ll say only I hope Arizona loses.

@DonRCorbin That happened in Florida. I just saw the same thing. Go hogs.

OK, I would need new underwear

.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory. But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025? That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice. She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her. You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly. And beyond that—you have never even responded to me. I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position. You never replied. And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day. Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen. This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability. When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message. Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way. So I am asking you directly: Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend? Say her name: Katie Abraham. Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.

@airmainengineer Was on a flight into GSP last August that was near identical to this. We went around, rain passed, came back about 30 minutes later and landed fine,

In this case, would you cancel the landing or continue the landing?🛬

@swd2 🤡

Today the gestapo is in the airports. Next it’ll be polling places. Stand up. Don’t normalize this.

@GovPritzker 🤡

Sheridan Gorman's murder is a tragedy — and the person responsible must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. My deepest condolences to the family, friends, and Loyola University community grieving this devastating loss. May her memory be a blessing.

Didn't drive her car at an ICE agent. Didn't try to obstruct an ICE operation. Was just walking down the street when an illegal alien killed her in cold blood. And Democrats do not care.

@theserfstv Congratulations on getting the engagement you were after there, maple syrup.

Her own teammate exposed her as a liar who made the whole thing up as a way of turning a fifth place tie into a media career. She wasn't silenced she was paid to amplify propaganda

@DenzelAberdeen Best of luck!

1 year wasn’t enough💔.. I thank God for what he has done in my life❤️. BBN , thank you for the memories, it was fun 💙. 1 out🤞🏾
