OH, I NOTICED: You May Not Have Noticed, But Tulsi Is Doing a Great Job.
BARBARIC ENEMIES OF CIVILIZATION:
I could not love this more. The Obama Bro tries so freaking hard to sanitize Piker's love of terrorists, only to have it revealed that Piker is exactly who the Right says he is. The absolute state of the Democratic Party in one glorious 20-second clip. https://t.co/tK73dgQWCi

I’M AMAZED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE AREN’T GETTING THIS:
The dots that only a few seem to connect is that the Venezuela+Iran double tap was a headshot aimed at China, who's saying goodbye to cheap oil.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz thinking it was holding the West hostage. But in reality, 90 percent of the oil that flows through… pic.twitter.com/SdgbtpKTfs

So what’s Trump’s next step in his strategy? I’m guessing he will circle back to Greenland. The Iran affair has also demonstrated the toothlessness of European countries who might be inclined to try to block this. He’ll make them an offer they can’t refuse, and it will be a good one.
And, almost unnoticed, he’s nailing down the Straits of Malacca to boot.
OUR MAN GAVIN IS MORE ABOUT TALKING ABOUT MORALS AND DUTIES THAN HE IS ABOUT EXERCISING EITHER OF THEM: Gavin Newsom Said He Had a ‘Moral Duty’ To Release His Tax Returns Every Year He Served in Office. He Hasn’t Since 2022. Newsom has kept his returns private as his wife rakes in hundreds of thousands of dollars from her charity, which is funded by corporations that do business with Newsom’s California.
AS ALWAYS, EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON WHAT IS USEFUL TO DEMOCRATS AT THE MOMENT: What is Left of “Believe Women”? from Rolling Stone’s Jackie to Sam Altman’s sister, the rules shift and definitions strain.
Of course, two things can be true at once: Eric Swalwell can be a scumbag, and Democrats are orchestrating this to get rid of him now that he’s inconvenient.
…I have been one of Swalwell's most persistent critics through the years. He has always been shielded by the Democratic establishment and the media. Now, he is persona non grata without a friend in the world.

Of course, they don’t ever want a Republican governor in California. But they really don’t want one when people are already sniffing around their truly Brobdingnagian levels of fraud. We’re talking fraud that exceeds the GDP of many countries.

REMEMBER, IF YOU EVEN HINTED AT THIS IN 2021 YOU WERE AT RISK OF PROSECUTION OR BEING SUED INTO OBLIVION: The Biden Admin Knew of COVID Vaccine Stroke Risk and Covered It Up. “New details emerging from a Senate investigation confirm that Biden administration officials at both the FDA and CDC knew about a significant stroke risk tied to Pfizer’s bivalent COVID-19 booster in people over 65. They knew. And they said nothing.”

A SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY:
New database tracks judges who let criminals off.
Very useful for the 20,000 elected judgeships in the country (2/3 of all judges) where voters today really don't know what they're voting on. https://t.co/ZKZ3OZZWu0
