#JOURNALISM:
Sam is trying to frame it as a bad thing, but those outlets were actually the ones who exposed the Russiagate hoax, the Covid origin cover up, and the Ukraine impeachment scam. If that’s supposed to be a problem, I’ll take more of it. Finally some actual journalists in the mix. https://t.co/1c1h7vl22e

HAVING GIVEN UP THEIR LAST LIVING HOSTAGES ON MONDAY, HAMAS IS OUT OF LEVERAGE: Trump warns Hamas ‘we will have no choice but to go in and kill them’ if bloodshed persists in Gaza.
The grim warning from Trump came after he previously downplayed the internal violence in the territory since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week in the two-year war.
Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas.
“It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily, but under our auspices.”
Trump said Tuesday that Hamas had taken out “a couple of gangs that were very bad” and had killed a number of gang members. “That didn’t bother me much, to be honest with you,” he said.
The Republican president did not say how he would follow through on his threat posted on his Truth Social platform, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment seeking clarity.
“IDF off the leash” probably covers it.
UGH:
We personally know Tim Walz as some of us work with him directly. What we can say, Tim Walz THRIVES on creating a hateful, divisive and hostile environment. His eyes light up with crazed enthusiasm when he attacks/criticizes his perceived opponents. Staff are fearful of him and… https://t.co/t5Je6OsmXK

BECAUSE THEY ARE, AS EVER, MASSIVE RACISTS THEY DIDN’T EXPECT A FEMALE BLACK CONSERVATIVE TO DEMONSTRATE LEADERSHIP: VA Dems Called on Sears to Condemn GOP Group Chat. They Weren’t Expecting This Response.
IF DEMS GAVE A SPIT ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY THEY’D NOT HAVE LEFT THE BORDER UNDEFENDED: RSC Chair Cooks Dems, Explains How Schumer Shutdown Is a National Security Concern.
HE CAN’T FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE EVEN SOME OF THE TIME: Hakeem Jeffries Just Got Some Very Bad News.
It’s okay, Temu Obama, even the real Obama’s “prestige” has worn thin. You sure did try. (Our nerves, our patience, our ability to not laugh whenever we see a sombrero now.)
THE REALLY IMPORTANT NEWS: SpaceX Starship Flight 11 Ends Successful Test with ‘Soft’ Splashdown.
IT’S NOT A SCANDAL. IT’S JUST SOME DEMS SCREAMING: The Young Republican Chat Scandal: Dumb, Disgusting, and Definitely Not the Apocalypse.
On the dumb and disgusting… meh. It’s like people have never been in masculine environments and are totally unaware of “men at ease talking to men.” If you need a refresher it’s just group jokes. I’m not a man but I SHUDDER at the idea of some private chats being made public. (Not usually political, but stupid jokes nonetheless.) The left of course no longer has men, but the right, really?
IN CASE YOU SOMEHOW MISSED IT:
And my clanker song soundtrack (to be clear, I write the lyrics, not clankers.) will not get new additions to next weekend, due to a software thing, but it has grown, if you wish to poke at youtube. I’m also getting better at videos. Part of it is making the clanker’s hangups work for you. If it puts a venomous toad in a snazzy embroidered jacket? Run with it.
OPPRESSIVE REGIMES HATE THE FLOW OF INFORMATION: South African red tape will likely delay Starlink there for years to come.
SPEAKING OF THE BRITISH CROWN: I have just provided Ofcom’s enforcement docs vs 4chan, where the UK claims the First Amendment is no defense to its censorship, to several American free speech organizations. Media will publish today. They’re not after 4chan. They’re after you, and 4chan is in the way.
And for the X-Lacking.
4chan is throwing their tea in the harbor, without even disguising as Amerindians.
DEAR UN, WE FAMOUSLY REBELLED AGAINST TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION: Why the UN’s Ocean Tax Plan is a BIG Problem.
You ain’t King George. He didn’t depend on America for his very survival. And had better (and less rapey) troops. Don’t poke us.
EXACTLY HOW I FEEL: Stolen This, Taken That, Expropriated Another.
The Wankers who virtue signal with land acknowledgements need to be pointed at and laughed hard. Or perhaps in the case of males we should require them to do a gonads acknowledgement first. Because any male with enough testosterone to sire a child should be ashamed of echoing that stupid and cowardly nonsense. Stupid or cowardly. Choose one. Put the other one back. As for women doing this, you haven’t been conquered. Stop instinctively trying to claim security for your children by abasing yourself before your imagined conquerors. If you’re doing Land Acknowledgements, you probably already aborted the kids, anyway.
THE DEMS CONTINUE CONVINCED OF THE POWER OF THE LIGHTBRINGER’S COATTAILS: Virginia Democrats Bring in Obama to Endorse Embattled Abigail Spanberger.
Spoiler: his only power was a massive and fraud-inclined organization. Let’s hope that’s been curbed enough.
I’M OKAY. THERE’S JUST WEIRD STUFF GOING ON: The Long Silence.
