Don’t tell @KeithOlbermann but not only is my hair down, I’m growing out my gray and have NO makeup on today.
Gasp!

@ElectricSheep_Z @Will_Tanner_1 It works beautifully absent of greed and corruption.

@Will_Tanner_1 Mass democracy doesn't even work in America, let alone Africa.

One of the most infuriating aspects of the Rhodesian story is that events proven them entirely right, but their Western enemies never admitted it
They said that mass democracy was a bad idea because the blacks would elect a demagogue tyrant who’d wreck the country and economy. Citing the Congo, Zanzibar, Zambia, and others, they noted that destroying “colonial” rule in favor of mass democracy brought with it only destruction and chaos
So, to preserve their propertied voting system, which limited the franchise to the responsible, they declared independence from Britain and fought the Bush War
The West claimed they were “racist” and mass democracy would work anywhere, and then used that as a reason to back the communist rebels who were known mainly for targeting women in children in awful terror attacks
Eventually the combined might of the world wore down Rhodesia’s 250,000 whites, and after 15 years they gave in to mass democracy
Exactly as they predicted, the tyrannical demagogue Robert Mugabe was elected and spent the next three and a half decades destroying every single positive vestige of what the Rhodesians had spent a century building
So now the former breadbasket of Africa is repeatedly wracked by famine and ruled by a military clique instead of a modern, Western government that rules well
The Rhodesians were 100% right, and the world destroyed them anyway

@seanmdav @MZHemingway I’ve noted Trump is tasking him with important assignments and/or having him at his side engaged in the debate.
I’m thinking in 3 years JD is going to be a tough candidate to beat, smart, salty, experienced.

J.D. is a baller for doing this to his face. The U.K. does not support free speech—not in its country, and not in ours. Its government threatens American companies to censor Americans on its behalf. U.K. police have threatened to arrest and extradite Americans for violating the government’s Orwellian “disinformation” laws banning speech that offends weak British politicians.

WOW! JD Vance CALLS OUT British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to his face: “I said what I said. There have been infringements on Free Speech that actually affect not just the British people, but also American technology companies and American citizens.” 🔥🔥🔥

@DRutechi @MZHemingway You are incorrect; you cannot use accrued leave to “meet” the years of service requirements. Good example of misinformation. See page 13 of the guide found here: opm.gov/retirement-cen…

@MZHemingway I worked at the US Mint in the 90s. Some dude stopped working for 18 months before his retirement. He just used his accumulated PTO…plus the PTO he earned while ON PTO . He got his 30 years in with only 28.5 working

First off, if this federal employee had time to email a left-wing reporter, surely she had time to email her manager about what she accomplished last week. Also, she took sick leave last week so she can just say that she took the week off from work. Why is this all so dramatic?

A DHS employee emails, re Elon's latest: "Not answering that email, due with baby in three days and already having to use sick leave because of the stress... I hope they fire me at this point can't wait to sue them"

Think of this in terms of the budget!🤦♂️

@scottformi @CollinRugg @tomselliott Don’t count on it…about half of the folks out there are voting these idiots into office.

@CollinRugg @tomselliott I think the American people can see through his deceiving rhetoric quite easily 😂

BREAKING: Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman appears flustered after listening to Devon Archer’s testimony as he tries covering for Biden family lies.
Reporter: “Doesn't it contradict the president's statements that he never talked to Hunter’s business associates?”
Goldman: “I don't know what his comment is and if, if we're gonna, well, I don't, I don't think that's what he said. He never said that he has never spoken to anyone…”
Biggest clown award in Congress goes to Dan Goldman 🤡
