FRUITS OF MEDIA INCITEMENT: Arizona Man Arrested for Threatening to Murder Trump, His Family. “I don’t see any copies of his videos circulating. Authorities must have taken them down pretty quickly after the arrest. Still, it’s worrisome that this guy was posting videos like this every day since August and it took more than two months to arrest him. It makes you wonder how many more would-be assassins are still out there raving about Trump. It’s going to be a very long four years.”
I’M SURE THE FBI WILL GET RIGHT ON THIS:

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Oakland Published a Report Saying the City Is on the Brink of Bankruptcy.
AS USUAL, RANDY IS CORRECT:
That Penny is on trial at all is an egregious miscarriage of justice, even if he is acquitted. This is worse than Rittenhouse, which was also very bad. Bad politicized prosecutors bring bad politicized cases. And I am a former criminal prosecutor in Chicago. https://t.co/xBE4k6KdTI

A FRIEND SENDS THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: 1. Nobody’s 7-year-old said this. 2. Kamala looks less like a good influence and more like she’s under the influence.

My thought is, who could watch this and believe that anyone ever thought she was a good candidate to run against Trump?
I’M DELIGHTED THAT THEY DID NOT MANAGE TO SCREW THIS UP:

Modernists lost this battle, so instead of a glass spire and partially destroyed vaultings everything was reconstructed as it was. Architects, for example, made sure that the former Medieval assymetrics in the… pic.twitter.com/4FACuLXwTB

LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY:
When they started reducing women to “birthing people,” know this is exactly what they had in mind. Postmodern feminism is dead – it never wanted to empower women in the first place. pic.twitter.com/QBK9D3QyeH

THE RAGE OF THE ENTITLED OVERCLASS: “The collective mental breakdown among self-styled progressives since Donald Trump’s re-election has been quite the sight to behold. The subsequent declaration by many that they will leave X, in protest of that platform’s supposed descent into fascism, has made matters all the more entertaining. What a glorious outpouring of self-importance and self-righteousness, combined with an utter lack of self-awareness.”

LONG TERM TEST: “Our 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 has proved that it’s an incredibly competent off-roader and one of the most efficient pickups on the market. It has enabled adventures far and wide and towed its maximum weight up and down the West Coast. Through it all, the unsung hero has been the truck’s pickup bed. It’s where we have carried our most prized possessions as well as literal garbage. It’s what makes the pickup the versatile tool that it is. After months of working with the Silverado’s bed we have found a handful of features that we have really grown to love, along with a couple that we utterly loathe.”
