“You can say anything as long as it’s not illegal” is like a soviet joke https://t.co/IG0skPneXH

THIS IS CNN: CNN Guest Seems To Suggest Trump Might Not Have Been Shot.
The entire situation was caught on video, and everyone with a brain can clearly see what happened. Well, CNN guest Toure seems to think the official story and events captured on film might not be so clear.
“He supposedly got shot in the ear. We never heard from his doctors on that…When did we hear from his doctors,” Toure said Thursday night on CNN.
When asked again if Trump was shot in Butler, he refused to acknowledge a basic fact.
“I wasn’t there. I don’t know. I don’t know,” Toure further said.
Complete stupidity.
Watch the mind-boggling moment unfold below…:

For the record, a common conspiracy theory pushed at the time was that Trump was struck by glass from a teleprompter.
That, of course, is complete nonsense for one very simple reason. The teleprompters remained intact during the event.
They would have shattered if a bullet had hit either of the two on the stage. You can see the teleprompters in the photo below.
It’s Toure Neblett. No wonder CNN is so deeply underwater these days:

THE ART OF THE MEGA-DEAL: Trump discussing drone ‘mega deal’ with Ukraine — as US tech lags behind adversaries: ‘The people of America need this technology.’
Speaking exclusively with The Post on Wednesday, Zelensky revealed that his latest talks with Trump focused on a breakthrough deal that would see the US and Ukraine prop up each other’s aerial technology — with Kyiv offering to share everything it’s learned about modern warfare in the three-year conflict with Russia.
The deal could be transformative for the US military and national security, with officials and drone experts warning that America’s technology lags far behind Russia and China, and American soldiers are ill-equipped to use the UAVs or defend against the types of devices being produced by adversaries.
“The people of America need this technology, and you need to have it in your arsenal,” Zelensky told The Post of Ukraine’s latest drones, which have been able to penetrate Russia’s defenses to take out heavy bombers and strike as deep as 800 miles over the border.
I haven’t seen any confirmation from the White House on this yet, so maybe take Zelensky’s claim with a grain of salt.
But Trump hasn’t shied away from economic deals with Ukraine this year, signing a minerals agreement with Kyiv in May. Ironic, given that Putin feared Ukraine aligning with the EU three years ago, while the country moves increasingly into the US orbit, instead.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Colbert’s Tedious Reign as the Anti-Carson Is Coming to an End. “Contrary to the myth that has grown about Carson over the years, he actually did used to do political jokes. A lot of them, actually. He just spread them around both sides, and he never let on which party he preferred. He wanted to appeal to the entire country. Colbert wants to make sure that conservatives know that he hates us. He’s very good at that, by the way.”

HMM: Trump to open 401k accounts to private market in bombshell move that could see savings skyrocket.
Trump is expected to announce the new policy soon, but precise details are being kept tightly under wraps and are still subject to change, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The executive order is expected to instruct the Labor Department to begin working with the Securities and Exchange Commission on guidance for employers and plan administrators.
It would represent a huge victory for the private equity industry, which has long been lobbying to gain access to workers’ 401k plans, which currently is worth about $12.5 trillion.
These portfolios have long been primarily comprised of stocks and bonds, largely because they carry less risk than other forms of investment.
Private markets would give accountholders greater opportunity for growth and long-term rewards, allowing investors to capitalize on private equity, venture capital, real estate and hedge funds which aren’t on public exchanges.
But there are also major risks associated with private equity investments.
More choice for investors is always a good thing, but caveat emptor always applies, too.
RIP, NPR: The broadcaster that thought emojis were racist.
Since the announcement of the funding pull, X has been awash in people celebrating with their favorite woke and otherwise ridiculous NPR moments. My personal favorite is the tweet that NPR put out in 2022 saying that people were being subconsciously racist if they used the wrong color thumbs-up emoji. There was also its segment about the LGBTQ+ community’s battle for the dinosaur emoji. But there are so many other choices.
On Wednesday, journalist Matt Taibbi started a delicious thread on X with the prompt: “What’s everyone’s favorite ridiculous NPR story?”
Examples poured down. The COVID era was NPR’s definite nadir, with daily shrieking about the need for social distancing and the shunning of vaccine deniers. Tweeters pointed out stories like NPR’s advocating for a permanent ban on handshakes. “I remember a host shaming and ridiculing a guest for advocating for schools to re-open for in-person learning,” someone wrote. Several chimed in with the NPR tweet that “a new poll finds 40 percent of respondents believe in a baseless conspiracy theory that the coronavirus was created in a lab in China.”
There were plenty of moments where NPR backed the Steele Dossier or said that the Hunter Biden laptop story was fiction. But the funniest examples involved not important and highly-politicized news stories, but ridiculous cultural agenda reporting that mattered to almost no one. NPR has claimed, over the years, that country music has an implicit racial bias, that dieting is racist, and gave a lot of airtime to the woman who wrote the book “In Defense of Looting,” very relatable to the average listener.
Ordinary dull Americana fills NPR with a horror of being alive. An X user posted “one of our Massachusetts NPR hosts told an anecdote on air where her weekend ski trip was besmirched when one of the video games in the lodge arcade had gun controllers and “I don’t want to hear a machine gun when I’m out.” Another highlighted a feature on the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, “when the best players in the two leagues that comprise professional baseball play a game between each other.”
No word yet if NPR has ever brought on Randolph and Mortimer Duke to explain that they are commodities brokers. “Now, what are commodities? Commodities are agricultural products — like coffee that you had for breakfast. Wheat, which is used to make bread. Pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a ‘bacon, lettuce and tomato’ sandwich.”

SECRET MEETING OPENS DOCUMENT FLOODGATES ON TRUMP/RUSSIA HOAX:
The floodgates holding back long-buried classified documents exposing government efforts to claim Donald Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin to manipulate the 2016 U.S. presidential election might finally be opening.
Trump administration officials held an urgent meeting Sunday to discuss “new information on Russiagate,” which they might use to build a criminal conspiracy case against Obama and Biden administration political appointees who allegedly weaponized the government against Trump, two Trump administration officials told RealClearInvestigations.
The documents are said to contain long-classified information, including a secret 200-page congressional audit that reveals details about how an intelligence community assessment on Russia ordered by President Obama after the 2016 election was framed in a way that portrayed Trump as being beholden to the Kremlin.
