. You can tell a man’s vices by his friends, his virtues by his enemies.
Sculpted by an Italian immigrant who helped build Grand Central Station and his son, given as a gift during the Great Depression as a symbol of the acceptance of Italian immigrants in Minnesota.
Wow, the President of the United States had a call with a foreign leader where POTUS asked the leader to lie on his behalf, and promised military assistance if he did as he was told. Do I have that right?
So did the powers that be really just use the national guard as a photo op show of strength only to shove them out onto parking garage concrete on a 38 degree night?
DeSantis has every right to be offended. Florida was nationally mocked and decried as a zone of death while Cuomo was hailed as the press conference king. The death count tells the truth about who actually failed his people.
Peter Navarro was charged with contempt of Congress by a monopartisan Committee. He got shackles.
Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress by a bipartisan vote of 255-67. He went out to dinner that night.
And DC wonders why people believe in the Swamp.
It's racist to shut down travel from places that are heavily diseased
It's racist to identify where that disease came from
Wtf is wrong with these people
Congratulations to
@jack
, who has repeatedly lied under oath to Congress, for making the most dire warnings from conservatives about Big Tech reality, and ensuring the destruction of his platform.
So
@amazon
announcing that it will no longer sell books with "material we deem inappropriate or offensive" makes me wonder if they'll start with The Bible, The Koran, or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
The Hunter and Jim Biden story:
-Wasn't hacked material
-Wasn't Russian misinformation
-Is something people deserved to know before voting
-Big tech + corporate media tried to make sure that didn't happen
-And now they're going to gaslight you about all of it.
In this interview Chris Wallace claimed the President was the first to interrupt. That is definitively false, just like his comments about Critical Race Theory and about Kenosha.
Chris Wallace on Fox News now, said he thought at first that it was going to be a real debate but "the President was determined to butt in and throw Joe Biden off." Wallace added that Trump "bears the primary responsibility for what happened" that night.
Jesús H Christ, Nancy’s coronavirus bill wants $35,000,000 for the JFK performing arts center.
Democrats never get to use the word slush fund again, ever.
Hill chatter: Republican Senators who are up in 2022 increasingly fear primary challenges on the basis of supporting McConnell as leader.
One comment: "He's setting us up and he doesn't seem to even realize it, or he just doesn't care."
Today those who stood in the streets of Hong Kong and raised a voice for freedom are looking at a lifetime in prison. They are fleeing the city, disbanding their groups, hoping they and their families survive China's vicious state.
In America, people are bitching about pronouns.
So I've gone back through the inaugural speeches from JFK to Biden and as a former speechwriter I honestly cannot believe Chris Wallace's high opinion of Biden's speech. I'm legitimately confused how anyone could think it's the best.
Lockdowns do not work.
Mask mandates do not work.
All we can do is exercise individual responsibility and protect the vulnerable.
This answer satisfies no one in media or politics.
But it's the truth.
Until this moment, the corporate media could lie about how terrible the Biden administration has been. Inflation, rising crime, border chaos, China emboldened, middle class in revolt over public schools - they rationalized all of it.
They can't rationalize this. It's a gutpunch.
"By massive margins, Independents say that the impeachment issue is “more important to politicians than it is to me” (62% to 22%) and “more important to the media than it is to me” (61% to 23%)." via

Surrender was not coming. Japan didn't surrender after the Tokyo bombings that killed 100k people. They didn't surrender after Hiroshima. They only surrendered a week after Nagasaki, and Hirohito had to overrule his war council.
This is simple: she's a dumb ignorant racist.
Senate sighs with relief. Finally they can get back to their important civic duty of protecting big businesses and squandering other people's money. But first, recess!
The media informs me repeatedly that Dr. Anthony Fauci has never been wrong about anything and is above criticism. He just hailed New York for their response to coronavirus. Are we allowed to call out a degree of bullshit that monumental?
Joe Rogan authentically represents an informed but perpetually curious everyman better than any interlocutor in the media. He should absolutely moderate a presidential debate.
There is going to be a backlash to this rioting and chaos in favor of Law and Order, and it's going to alter our political and cultural moment in significant ways.
I feel like Australia underestimates how this Novak Djokovic incident is going to tar the entire nation as fundamentally anti-freedom, and a place you should not visit, for a long time to come.
The most disturbing thing about January 6th: in the most surveilled area of the most surveilled city in America, our authorities still have apparently no idea who planted those pipe bombs.
You knew when you sat in the driveway at home, the ignition turned off but the radio dial still on, stuck between two stations, because you wanted to hear the rest of the truth. He was that good.
I'm confident I have better sources within this White House than
@JeffreyGoldberg
, and I expect that upon investigation his anonymously sourced story will live up to the quality we can expect from The Atlantic under his leadership.
The problem with people like Strzok isn't bias, it's the danger of a powerful idiot arrogantly convinced his cause gives him latitude to ignore the rules.
The absence from the fray by elected Republicans on the defense of our national history against a pathetic horde of woke leftists is abhorrent and disgraceful.
The right to bear arms is not about hunting.
It is a natural right of the deepest significance to the relationship between citizen and state.
It is in the Constitution because the men who defeated the greatest empire in the world wanted us to be able to defend our freedom.
Anyone who believed the pollster bro narrative this year about double digit leads for Biden in states he ultimately lost should stop writing about politics. There's a point where you should realize: you're just not good at this.
Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, has now accused
@TulsiGabbard
, a veteran of the wars she supported, of being a "Russian asset" who is being "groomed" for a third party bid for the presidency, along with others.
This is an insane opinion. Will anyone call her on it?
NYT: "Ha ha, funny story, you'll never believe it. That dossier we spent years defending as legitimate and a worthy basis for FISA wiretaps on citizens is so unfounded it might actually be Russian disinformation, just like the collusion skeptics warned."

It’s almost 3 p.m. Time to turn off major appliances, set the thermostat to 78 degrees (or use a fan instead), turn off excess lights and unplug any appliances you’re not using.

George W. Bush is one of the kindest men I've ever worked for in my life. Genuinely a good man. Honorable. Without vice.
Also: the Iraq War, No Child, John Roberts, and a host of other decisions he made were god awful.
Good men are not always good leaders.
The Biden poll situation was described to me yesterday as "catastrophic collapse" - that Afghanistan was the last straw for many with voting remorse. This speech will not help reverse that trend.
Tucker Carlson's 30+ minute monologue tonight feels like a rare significant cable news moment, on the scale of Rick Santelli's Tea Party rant a decade ago.
I admit to having no strong opinion about Kyle Rittenhouse - other than his story seemed tragic and sad - before this trial. This incompetent joke of a prosecutor has changed that.
The murder rate in New York City more than doubles, massive numbers of residents leave, closed schools hit minority families hardest... but hey, Bill De Blasio is hard at work painting you a pretty mural.
Dr. Fauci admits his wearing masks indoors despite being vaccinated was based on imagery, not science:
"I didn’t want to look like I was giving mixed signals but being a fully vaccinated person, the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low."
After 12 months, Joe Biden is the most unpopular president in 80 years even with 90 percent of the corporate media landscape devoted to boosting everything he does, every day. That's how much they are all hated and distrusted by the people.
What is infuriating about Florida and Broward is that the county is required to tell us how many total ballots they have, and they refuse. There is no justification for that. None.
“We’re losing our damn minds”: James Carville unloads: "We can’t win the Senate by looking down at people. The Democratic Party has to drive a narrative that doesn’t give off vapors that we’re smarter than everyone or culturally arrogant."
Speaking in Loudoun,
@GlennYoungkin
promises "on day one" to launch a government-wide audit of every department, starting with the DMV
"You're gonna call into the DMV and two things are going to happen: they're going to answer the phone and say 'hi, how may I help you."
Today The Washington Post has an oped defending banishing Republicans who have the audacity to eat at restaurants and The New York Times has an oped calling for doxxing members of Border Patrol so that's how the whole civility thing is going.
An update: the level of anger at Gen. Milley on Capitol Hill is immeasurable. There is a strong belief he leaked this story himself. Veterans on Capitol Hill are discussing next actions. The agreed opinion is he must go, but that media sycophants will attempt to protect him.
Joe Biden ran and won on a promise of unity and normalcy. Tonight he attacked Supreme Court Justices to their faces after they and their families faced direct threats of assassination for doing their jobs to uphold the Constitution. I will never forgive him for that.
This year
@FDRLST
covered Hong Kong, Mexican cartels, UK elections, Kavanaugh, Russia collusion, FISA abuse, and impeachment all while rejecting false narratives promoted by corporate media.
They hated us for it. But we were right, and they were wrong.
Proud of our team.
This indictment is going to blow up in their face. A huge mistake. No one will trust these institutions ever again,or the media that carries water for them. This wasn't thorough and diligent. It was partisan and rushed... and if an R wins, Biden will get indicted now.
Joe Biden is becoming a political anchor the likes of which we haven't seen in generations. He is going to demolish his party downticket beyond anything we saw from W and Obama.
Biden admin opening up with two major policy gifts to Russia and only mild condemnation of Navalny imprisonment tells you a lot about our media's capacity for collective bullshit.
Congratulations to all the Bloomberg campaign workers and consultants who bilked an old busybody authoritarian out of so much money by pretending he was likable for 12 weeks.
Our Caucus dressed in white today to show our collective resistance to the extreme MAGA Republicans' anti-abortion agenda.
We will always stand up for reproductive freedom & access to abortion care.
I've gotten a bunch of emails from the WaPo about how terrible it is that the president commuted the sentence of a meaningless political gadfly.
Didn't get this sort of stuff when Obama commuted the sentence of unrepentant murderous terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera.
Odd, that.
Regardless of the factual nature of Epstein conspiracy theories, Americans no longer have even a base level of trust in our institutions to not betray the public interest in defense of a corrupt global elite.
