@InsideLucysHead @JobberSteve65 Apparently, additional elements are being researched as we speak: Slushium, Obstructium and Corruptium.

@RE_McGEE This always happens… Just when you think you are about to get a glimpse of tits after an offering of food… Some big dude with a large beak shows up and ruins the whole thing.

We bought a bargain bird feeder with a camera, hoping for cute footage of robins or blue tits. Instead: one raven demolishing all the food and staring straight down the lens.

@BrianRoemmele We are not ready

Just a friendly little robot…

@4thOfJuly365 Why do they need to be mutually exclusive?

I am really struggling with something right now and I know X is the best place to share this. If given the choice, I am not sure If I'd rather see Hillary Clinton arrested or 11han Omar deported back to Somalia. Why does this have to be so hard?

The task force and the DOJ will be relentless in exposing these fraudsters wherever they may be hiding.

@Rainmaker1973 “Now wait just a second… are there any women here today…?”

Fun fact. In the Lord of the Rings films, most of the Riders of Rohan were actually women with fake beards because when the production put out a call for local experienced riders, a lot of women showed up with their own horses.

@MbarkCherguia Who you callin old, whippersnapper 😂

You might be old, but are you this old?

@johnkonrad @FireNewz Leviathan

John Thune has become a punching bag for good reason but there is a more insidious force at play nobody can talk about. Let me explain… The staffers in Thune’s office have been asking Trump Naval and Maritime appointees questions about me before confirmation hearings. I doubt John Thune knows who I am. His staff absolutely does. They track me. They hate me. And they will quietly bleed pushing out any appointee I’m friends with. Someone close to PPO told me a Trump staffer commented that “Konrad should be a HBS case study on someone every in the administration respects but has zero chance of any appointment.” It’s probably because I’ve called out congressional staffers numerous times before. This is how Congress actually works. It’s always the staffers. When we first floated the SHIPS Act, Mike Johnson’s hometown delegation were strong supporters. The minute he became Speaker, his hometown people got bulldozed by the Speaker of the House staff he inherited. Same man, different staff, different priorities. Why do you think they wanted Mitch McConnell propped up after the freezing episodes? It wasn’t McConnell. It was the cartel of people on his staff who needed his chair filled by someone they already controlled. Members can’t read their own bills anymore. Thirty years of capped staff, frozen pay, and brain drain to K Street has left rank and file senators functionally illiterate on the legislation they vote on. Leadership staff fill the vacuum. They are not entrenched because they are corrupt. They are entrenched because nobody else in the building can move a 1,500-page must-pass bill through conference. That is the cartel. And it has rules. If you want anything in the NDAA, the omnibus, the CR, or any vehicle that actually moves, you do not piss them off. You do not name them. Break either rule and you do not get a second omnibus. I’m not even willing to name individual staff. John Phelan is the case study nobody is reading correctly. Phelan was not fired because he was a bad secretary. Phelan was fired because his chief of staff Jon Harrison had deep knowledge of the pentagon that Phelan lacked. Without him, Phelan was walking around the Pentagon naked and he knew it. He pulled back from media events and became too cautious. Then there is Susie Wiles. I don’t know her. Never met her. From everything I can piece together she is doing a great job. The point is not Susie. The point is the Vanity Fair article. It’s not even the article itself, that article contained a lot of BS, it was the reaction that came after. Every single republican & a few democrats stood behind her. Now contrast that with the flood of negative articles about Mike Waltz, Kristi Noem or Pam Bondi. When a politician is the subject of a hut piece is dragged over the coals, the system shrugs. But when it’s a senior staffer, the system closes rank. It is safer to trash Trump in print than to be perceived as trashing Susie. Trump is used to it. Susie controls the schedule, the access, and the door. Multiply Susie by every leadership chief of staff, every NDAA conference staffer, & you have the machine. It is not partisan. Schumer’s staff & Thune’s staff protect each other from outside critics more reliably than they protect their own bosses from each other. Leaders come and go but leadership staff is entrenched. Congress is broken because leadership staff on both sides want it to remain broken. A Congress that can only legislate through 2,000-page must-pass bill is a Congress where the staff who draft the bill run the country. Regular order is their extinction event. They will never let it come back voluntarily. You can call out politicians all day. They are used to it. Call out the staff and you don’t get frozen out of one bill. You get frozen out of every bill, by every office, on both sides, for as long as the cartel decides to remember your name. They remember mine. Now you know why.​​​​​​​​​​​​​ even Luna can’t vall them out.

🚨 JUST IN: The Virginia Supreme Court has OFFICIALLY DENIED Democrats’ move to reinstate the 10D-1R Congressional map — refusing to pause the lower court order, which BLOCKS certification GREAT! A legal win! This means the map stays blocked while legal challenges play out. Do the right thing and STRIKE IT DOWN FULLY 🔥 Florida redrawing + this map being DOA would be absolutely enormous for the midterms. H/t @scotus_wire

@walthodgson @ArthurMacwaters There is no such thing as a temporary govt program. Or tax. Once the trough is created, the pigs will keep sidling up to it.

@ArthurMacwaters It's literally a one time tax. it's right there in the text. One and done, with payment options up to 5 years. And it only affects a couple hundred people.

In 1913, only 1% of households filed income tax Now, 100% do. Every time a tax scheme is created, it starts with "just the rich" and quickly applies to everyone. Every time. California will seize assets of every citizen if this passes. Not income, assets. Your house. Your furniture. This would end the Golden State.

@RonDeSantis Like the old saying goes, when Democrats promise to tax the rich, …The middle class should break out their umbrellas. Cause they’re about to get soaked.

The mere proposal of a counterproductive, unconstitutional wealth tax in CA has caused massive flight of wealth out of the state. If actually enacted, it would lead to a predictable loss of revenue as people change their behavior as a result. Just a pathetic attempt to pay off public sector unions and feed the Leviathan.

Astonishing what we’ve lost as a country, in such a short time.

The problem with our government and supposed “justice” system is when someone commits garden variety fraud or theft at the amateur level - the middle class level - so to speak, the boom gets leveled. They get crushed. A crime that nets someone $100, $1000? Well sir “no one is above the law” and it’s straight to the pokey. But they steal millions? Defraud Billions? Say… fake Medicare scams in California or Day Care Scams in Minnesota? Or plunder an AI charity netting 100s of billions? Well now they have graduated to a whole NEW level. They have entered the club, and now have a ticket to the big game. And some in the govt are now no longer are interested in punishment… They are interested in payment. They want a cut of the action. Inject politics into the mix, and they no longer are punished but rewarded. Protected. It’s like the old saying, if you owe the bank a little - they own you. If you owe the bank a lot, you ARE the bank. Same kinda deal. That’s why these narcissists keep doing this. They know they likely won’t be caught. And in the off chance that they are? Well, if they’ve stolen enough, they know they have entered a whole new league… They now have a seat at the table.

Scam Altman didn’t tell the OpenAI board that he OWNED the OpenAI Startup Fund. Altman lied in congressional testimony that he didn’t have financial gain from OpenAI.

@BrianRoemmele Is this just a dog out walking his robot? Or a robot just out walking his dog?

Not AI… Many mammals will have thier own robots.

@TheSCIF Remember when he said (paraphrasing here) “we need to have a civilian army as large and as powerful as our military one?” This is the kind of stuff he was referring to. The kind of stuff fundamental transformations are made of.

Obama's Secret Stay Behind Army Obama literally created "The Department of The Deep State" at the flick of a pen. The Senior Executive Service, or "SES" was created on September 19, 1979 during the Carter administration. It was originally formed to professionalize career civil service, while attracting the nation's best and brightest in an effort to improve and moderate the management of the federal bureaucracy. A position within the "SES" is considered the equivalent to general officer or the flag officer ranks in the U.S. Armed Forces. For that reason, they are often referred to as our "civilian generals." The SES was to be a corps of non-partisan, career managers who serve as the executive management of federal agencies. Their job being to implement policy, not create it. At least it was until then President Obama changed that with a mere flick of his pen, making SES members nearly impossible to fire, once hired. To say Obama's transformation of the SES into an army of political operatives was effective would be a gross understatement. There are more than 2 million federal employees. And at the top of that pyramid are approximately 8,000 SES (Senior Executive Service) employees who service as the professional managerial class linking our political leaders to the civil service rank and file. And Barack Obama as president, replaced more than 6,000 members of the 8,000-member SES during his 2 terms, assembling what became a stay-behind army of political operatives. Here's a list of the number of SES employees that were embedded in the following government agencies at the end of Obama’s 2nd term in 2016: Department of Education – 86 Department of Housing & Urban Development – 115 Department of the Air Force – 182 Department of Labor – 200 Department of State – 204 Department of Transportation – 231 Department of Interior – 258 Department of the Army – 261 Department of the Navy – 326 Department of Veterans Affairs – 357 Department of Agriculture – 361 Department of Commerce – 425 Department of the Treasury – 458 Department of Health & Human Services – 468 Department of Defense – 478 Department of Energy – 490 Department of Homeland Security – 639 Department of Justice – 821 All Other Agencies (non-Cabinet agencies) – 1,796 And it wasn't just a purge of patriots from governmental agencies. Obama's purge of the military was especially damaging to our national security, as he literally gutted the command structure of the U.S. military. Cleaning out the filth from decades of infiltration and then Obama's embedded political operatives has been a long uphill battle in taking back our country and restoring our republic to making America great again. All roads lead to Obama.
