REPUBLICANS POUNCE: ‘Left-wing cult of hatred’: GOP goes on offense after Trump assassination attempt. “Republicans went on offense Monday in the wake of yet another assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, asserting that Democrats were fostering a ‘left-wing cult of hatred’ that drives adherents to violent outbursts.”

How do you go on offensive after “yet another” assassination attempt?

DEFINITELY:  People ask: How can we help? How do we know if we’re making a difference? Here’s how —> and here’s proof. When Americans flood PERM job postings with real applications, it forces companies to admit the truth.

SPACE: ‘Guess I’ll be waiting a minute to surf again’: Artemis 2 moon astronaut Christina Koch shares her recovery journey. “A week after her historic moon mission ended, NASA astronaut Christina Koch struggled to walk in a straight line during a blindfold test. After posting a video showing her wobbling and nearly tipping over — nearly enough, in fact, that attendants jumped in ready to help — Artemis 2’s Koch joked about her recovery on Instagram: ‘Guess I’ll be waiting a minute to surf again.'”

FACT-CHECKING SOCIAL MEDIA CLAIMS LINKING HAIR DYEING TO MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS:

Many people change aspects of themselves to fit in or stand out, and sometimes even as a coping mechanism during stressful times in their lives.

These changes are often seen in how people style their clothes, play with new makeup trends, or dye their hair.

Online platforms such as Instagram and TikTok are filled with posts about dyeing hair—especially unnatural colours.

On Instagram, there are posts about how unnatural hair dyeing can be linked to mental illnesses.

And TikTok is filled with stories about how dyeing your hair is related to “having a mental breakdown.”

These trends have grown in popularity since 2019, becoming popular during the pandemic.

Lee Zeldin TRIGGERS Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro By Exposing Her For Not Knowing Basic Supreme Court Cases

UPDATE:

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent.

MORE: “Zeldin told DeLauro that people should not drink or inject glyphosate, the active ingredient in pesticides such as Roundup, to which she responded, ‘Maybe you should try doing that.’ She then quickly added, ‘Excuse me,’ in an apologetic tone.” That’s not much of an “apologetic tone” on display here, so why is Bloomberg.com covering for a Democratic congresswoman suggesting that the head of the EPA kill himself, only a couple of days after someone from her party tried to kill Zeldin’s boss? To ask the question is to answer it:

When you don’t have anything good to say, some advise to just not say anything at all. As for @rosadelauro, she apparently believes that when you don’t have anything good to say, you should instruct the person you are debating to kill themself. https://t.co/E5bwHhfSxt pic.twitter.com/AW9rFP0Fzc

KRUISER ON FIRE: If You Can’t Say Something Nice About Someone, You Must Be Talking About a Democrat. “Please bear in mind as you read this column that I took several breaths and hours before writing it because I wanted to bring down my internal rage temperature by several degrees. My reserves of Christian charity are, for the moment, completely tapped, and I apologize for that. This is what passes for calm here in the Kruiser Bunker this week.”
