JIMMY LAI UPDATE:

The Washington Post calls the Jimmy Lai conviction "the end of Hong Kong" but the better term is the end of soft power, the end of a "rule based" world. In today's universe being a Nobel Prize winner means you are hunted down.https://t.co/n2iQI6l1mN

TRAVEL ADVICE: “If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a celebrity, turning heads everywhere you go, I recommend taking a gaggle of children to a country with a plunging birth rate.”

THEY ARE EVIL AND SHOULD BE DESTROYED:

If this reporting is true true, Hollywood not only violeted CRA for years by discriminating against white men, but has been merrily telling the white men this, and writing it down in widely circulated emails in case they wanted to file a lawsuit. No words https://t.co/FDOCf2YZ2H

This is a great deep dive into the systemic hate and discrimination White males have faced due to DEI policies. I’ll always fight for these young men. We have a long way to go but I’m proud of the progress we’ve made incinerating these policies. https://t.co/4DWy04uzR2

Also:

Just to be clear, for those who have been telling me "This happened everywhere", I am not surprised they did it, I am surprised they TOLD THE WHITE MEN THEY DECLINED TO HIRE and WROTE IT DOWN. It's like pinning a "sue me" sign on your backside. https://t.co/5jKXGvJVez

And:

It starts well before this, even before college. When one of my kids was 16, he wanted to do some sort of science-themed summer internship or volunteer wor,k, since everyone knows if you don't have this sort of thing on your resume, you can't get into a decent college.

MARK PULLIAM: MAGA Meets Sisyphus: Can Trump 2.0 Overcome Its Many Challenges? I do not question the resolve of President Trump, but have serious concerns about Congress, the courts, and faint-hearted Republicans across the country.

BEYOND PARODY:

They’re actually going to do it.

They’re actually going to ignore the immigration policies that caused this attack. https://t.co/FTDKhMeXBZ

“We’ll do anything to keep Australians safe”

“So you’ll monitor mosques for radicalism?”

“No, too far”

“You’ll restrict immigration?”

“No, too far”

“You’ll take more rights from law-abiding Australians?”

“Yes, perfect.”

SEE ALSO, DAVID FRENCH, BILL KRISTOL, ET AL.:

Reed Galen is a perfect example of the Beltway Class.

Once an advisor to conservative politicians and movements, after MAGA kicked him to the curb he decided to champion leftist causes and politicians, because that's where his grift took him.

I’VE HAD MY DOUBTS ABOUT THEM: Man shocks doctors with extreme blood pressure, stroke from energy drinks: His blood pressure was 254/150. Readings of 180/120 are considered an emergency. “Four weeks into his recovery, he was on five different drugs to try to bring down his blood pressure. At that point, doctors pushed for more lifestyle information from the man, who finally revealed that he had a habit of drinking an average of eight high-potency energy drinks every day.”
