“Saying something obviously untrue,” said Hannah Arendt, “and making your subordinates repeat it with a straight face in their own voice, is a particularly startling display of power over them. It’s something that was endemic to totalitarianism.”

I’m no legal scholar, but the Attorney General telling the President, “I love you, sir,” seems a touch conflict-of-interesty. And fucking weird.

This is why Trump started a war with Iran.

@hendyMD @PhilWMagness @ConceptualJames The church is the leader of our religion. Not our government. Render unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar.

@PhilWMagness @ConceptualJames The greater good is Individual Freedom and Liberty, something that definitely is NOT afforded by the Catholic Church as it applies to its subjects …. Subjugation is their modus operandi … both are guilty one has thousands of years of scandal and atrocities under their belt

Reminder that Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican diplomat who was reportedly threatened by one of JD Vance's buddies in the Pentagon, wrote a harsh condemnation of Vance's Postliberal political ideology a couple months ago.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

@JonahDispatch @McGillPatterson At least he’s seen the error of his ways.

What a journey for Sohrab. He made a name for himself in 2019 by claiming nearly everything bad with conservatism was personified by David French but that Donald Trump was leading America (in Sohrab’s words) “toward order, continuity, and social cohesion.”

🚫🇷🇺 Hungarian protesters chanted “Russians go home!” (Ruszkik haza) at PM Orbán during a campaign rally, hours after we revealed his foreign minister conspired behind allies' back and shared EU documents with Sergey Lavrov. The chant echoes the main slogan of the 1956 uprising.

@PsyopAnime @SenWarren That’s like one health care company run by a corrupt GOP senator from Florida.

@SenWarren That’s like 3 Somali daycare centers

NEW: Since Donald Trump waged war on Iran, Americans have paid over $8 BILLION MORE for gas.

@NewReaganCaucus Didn’t work with the Kurds in Iraq. Didnt work in Afghanistan. Didn’t work in Vietnam.

At least Israel isn't quitting. They better start arming Iranians.

The Art of the Deal: ‘How I handed the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and helped them build a nuclear weapon while lighting 40Billion dollars on fire and killing thousands of innocent people’ by Donald J. Trump.

@NewReaganCaucus @AlaromaPolitics And they will be as effective as the Afghanistan military.

@AlaromaPolitics They could do ground ops to build Iranian militias. There are options outside full scale invasion.

Vance has really embarrassed Trump. Best outcome: Trump now becomes willing to do what it takes to finish the regime.

@NewReaganCaucus That’s not what the Pakistanis are saying.

@PDX_native We understand that only a ceasefire was agreed to, and broken.

?

@FrankLuntz Translation: Iran claims sovereignty over Hormuz

@AutisticClip Ok. That would be a big fat lie.

Professor Jiang reveals the Chinese government says Covid started as an American bio weapon that was leaked into China to hurt Chinese society “That’s what the Chinese believe.”

Good lord. If we cede control of the strait to Iran…. And agree to REPARATIONS…. This will be the biggest humiliation in American history

@RubinReport @NYflightguy

Which Panican wants to hand me my “I told you so” award? Trump has been running the same negotiation playbook forever. Pressure, escalation, chaos… then leverage a deal. We’ve watched it happen again and again. This wasn’t complicated. It was basic pattern recognition. While some people were panicking, others were paying attention. Now we move to Phase 2. Iran is largely neutralized. The Strait is reopening. The war is de-escalating. Markets are already reacting. That’s not a small win—that’s a global reset. This forces movement everywhere else. Russia and Ukraine get pulled closer to a real negotiation. China has to think twice about Taiwan when the U.S. just proved it will apply overwhelming pressure when it matters. And for the first time in decades, there is a real path to stepping back from endless Middle East entanglements. Look at the region. It’s no longer just Israel. You’re seeing alignment across countries that historically were nowhere near each other. The world is safer today than it was yesterday—and it’s about to get even safer over the next few months as this locks in. And yes, let’s be very clear about this: This happened because of Donald Trump. Not the pundits. Not the podcasters. Not the panic merchants. Trump. Now comes the real opportunity. With global stability improving, we can finally refocus inward at full speed. Immigration, housing, affordability, healthcare, infrastructure, AI, rebuilding American strength where it actually matters. We are entering a new American era—economically, technologically, and yes, even in space exploration. This is what the start of a new frontier feels like. So here’s the assignment: Put your phone down. Go build something. Start a family. Create. Get outside. Do something real. Stop listening to the Panicans. Onward 🇺🇸

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

Statement on the occasion of the visit of the U.S. Vice President to Budapest: No foreign country may interfere in Hungarian elections. This is our country. Hungarian history is not written in Washington, Moscow, or Brussels - it is written in Hungary’s streets and squares. Five days to go!

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE MADURO REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF VENEZUELA... THE IRGC REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF IRAN... AND THE EPSTEIN REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF AMERICA 🤷
