@JohnnyEdwardsX @geraldposner @benshapiro @StephenKing Believe it or not Johnny, most people in the U.S. believed that JFK was killed as a result of a conspiracy BEFORE Stone's movie came out.

A year ago, my conversation with @benshapiro about the JFK assassination went viral.
Yet here we are in 2026—still treating it as an unsolved mystery.
It isn’t.
The case is not complicated. Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy. Alone.
There is no credible evidence for the CIA, LBJ, Israel, the mob, or any grand cabal.
What we have instead: decades of bad history, proportionality bias (the idea that a nobody couldn’t kill a president), and suspicion masquerading as proof—now amplified by social media.
I’m still waiting, after all these years, for what conspiracy theories never produce:
Evidence.

@R_A_Belcher Thank you! Not to downplay what they’re doing, but accuracy matters

I’m pleased to see this but amused by remarks about the US “returning to the moon.” That’s like driving to Bogart on a game Saturday & saying you’re going to the GA game. Returning to the moon requires new footprints in the dust.

Reporting by @thecentersquare's @jstrong712 found the 7 commissioners - each paid @ $150K/year - have relatively lax schedules, sometimes work paid side jobs, and have overseen a computer software transition that has effectively blocked more than 2,000 businesses owned by women and racial minorities from better access to government contracts

Less radical?
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih
Heartbreaking 💔 This morning, right after President Trump’s speech, the Iranian regime moved fast and hanged 18-year-old protester. Yes, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, there are no “less radical” leaders in Iran. From the courtroom to the prison cell, from the interrogator to the judge, this is a unified system of terror. So this is the Islamic Republic: a system with a Stone Age approach to dissent, executing its own young people to stay in power. This is not about left or right. This is about life, dignity, and the future of a nation. His name is Amirhossein Hatami. 18 years old. His “crime”? Demanding Freedom, dignity, and a normal life. No lawyer. No independent media to be his voice, No fair trial. No final goodbye to his family. But of course a forced confession on State TV after being tortured to admit a crime that he has committed never committed. And his friends may be next. By the way, where are the anti-war activists? Why don’t we hear you campaigning against mass arrests, and executions in Iran ? Would you demand that the Iranian regime stop its war on unarmed people? Stop the executions. Stop the torture. End the total #DigitalBlackOut imposed on Iran. This is about standing with the people of Iran against a regime that has massacred more than 40,000 of its own citizens and is now killing those arrested in the same uprising

Final part in our #congressionalperks series on U.S. Senate account spending, shows a lot of money goes to staff jobs that some critics say are not justified, including more than a $500k for Chaplin, his chief of staff and comm director. thecentersquare.com/national/artic…

The U.S. Senate employs a chaplain to open each day with a prayer. Along with his $224K salary, taxpayers pay for the chaplain to have a communications director, 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗜𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗡 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗢 𝗔 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬

So we don't know why Washington Democrat @PattyMurray spent over $4k on a round trip from her home to Washington, D.C., or why it cost Hawaii Democrat @SenBrianSchatz $10k to make a Christmastime round trip from Washington to Honolulu and back.
I checked flights and Uber rates, and those $$$ amounts seem ultra-high. But without backup records, we don't know what those sums actually included. And neither senator would explain it to us.
Schatz: "If it’s ten thousand dollars, it’s ten thousand dollars."

English
U.S. senators and top aides are turning in receipts for reimbursements, and there's a huge problem: Congress exempted itself from FOIA. So there's no way for the public to check backup records. No way of knowing if anyone flew first class, paid to fly family members, rented fancy limousines, spent nights at luxury hotels, dined at gourmet restaurants, or used personal credit cards that come with cash-back rewards or other incentives.
"There's so much temptation to inflate the numbers and to give yourself a little extra more when you're writing that check" - @Protectaxpayers
We asked 7 top-spending senate offices to hand over small samples of backup records. All said no or ignored us.

The regime’s execution machine has sped up and is rapidly executing innocent prisoners.
With every additional day the terrorist regime stays in power, more people are executed and tortured.
In recent days, many people have been executed.
Five Iranian protesters sentenced to death in the Basij base fire case in Tehran have reportedly been transferred from Qezel Hesar prison to an unknown location for execution.
Families say the confessions were forced, and the accused neither set the fire nor took part in the destruction.
