STILL WALTER DURANTY’S PAPER: They Never Learn.
THROUGH FRIENDS I HAVE SOME VISIBILITY INTO WHAT THEY’RE FEELING: These are the Refugees We Want: Immigrants from South Africa.
WE NEED TO STOP INHALING CANADA: Canadian Wildfire Smoke Spreads Across U.S., Triggering Air Quality Alerts.
YOU AIN’T GOT NO: Culture!
HOPEFULLY LOTS OF FOLLOW UP ON THIS: Trump: Declassifying Documents Showing China’s Election Interference and “Deep State” Cover Up.

GETTING READY FOR THE SPEECH:
Going into tonight's speech, remember this: all the GOP wants to do is make voter fraud detectable and provable.
That's it.
For some odd reason Democrats support systems that make voter fraud nearly undetectable to a standard a court wlll recognize.
Odd, doncha think?

headlines after Trump’s speech will be….
THE FACTS LIE!!!! 😂💀

I was just briefed by the White House on what to expect this evening.
I would encourage every American to tune in tonight to the President’s speech. This may be the most important Oval Office address since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The time for complacency with China is over.

🚨Some of the facts that will be revealed in President Trump’s speech tonight are truly shocking.
If the networks were truly serving the public interest they would air it and as a country we would collectively resolve to take action.

No place for hate. The news.
They think they are taking a high moral stance.
What they are actually doing is a soft insurrection. They are undermining the Republic by failing to carry out the honorary role the Constitution granted them, that the forefathers expected of them. To… https://t.co/YLOC59vOZe

The shocking number was compiled by the Department of Homeland Security and is including in a forthcoming report by the agency, per my source — who noted it's just one piece of what Trump is expected to unveil during his primetime speech tonight. https://t.co/q0SvVUj5BI

UPDATE: Supporting documents are on the White House website.
CONCLUSION: Short and sweet. Evidence of fraud, data breaches, and government and media coversups of fraud and Chinese interference, with promises of prosecutions and more.
Plus:
Cue an entire U.S. social media industry defending China from allegations that it has meddled in our elections.

Wow! FBI official actually wrote in an email they were running a “shadow government” to keep President Trump and the public from knowing about China’s election meddling in 2020 pic.twitter.com/My2Q9Ftz1M

PENTAGON REFUSES TO PUNISH PILOT FOR LOW BEACH FLYOVER.
Yes, and?
This is one of the most brilliant moves Hegseth has made. Here’s why:
Experienced pilots are freaking out in my DMs about these close flybys. Even some based people I follow and love, like @MCCCANM, are questioning them while my son’s class of young student aviators can’t stop… https://t.co/vM9pjQrv9O pic.twitter.com/Se1IjH1BnZ

BLUESKY GAVE UP ON COMPETING WITH X: “Bluesky really did grow for a while and lots of people on the left started trying to move not just their own accounts but many of their followers over to the new platform. These days the site has 45 million registered users. And yet, 18 months later it’s fair to say that Bluesky is nowhere near being a competitor to X. Exact numbers are hard to source but X currently has about 250 million daily users whereas Bluesky is hovering somewhere between 1.5 million daily users and fewer than half that.”
It’s not exactly the friendliest, most welcome place to hang out:
NEWS: Popehat @Popehat, aka attorney Ken White, has been permanently banned from Bluesky, apparently for a post in which he suggested there was a moral upside to Elon Musk’s death.
The Bluesky body politic, meanwhile, is losing its mind over this. Popehat is one of their heroes. pic.twitter.com/iKcUXrGe15

TWO GRAUNIADS IN ONE!
● Shot: ‘A masterpiece in every way:’ The Odyssey earns near universal acclaim as full reviews published.
—The Grauniad today.
● Chaser: Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey used occupied land as a film set. That feels like a betrayal.

SO MUCH FRAUD EVERYWHERE: Obamacare Fraud Cut in Half This Year.
LET’S NOT GO ON ABOUT WHO KILLED WHO — THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY OCCASION!
This clip is extremely important, because it reveals how the Dems/MSM plan to counter the revelations about 2020.
They are going to try to shame MAGA into “letting it go”, because it happened 6 years ago.
They are using the Hillary “what difference does it make” defense. They… pic.twitter.com/e7K71rFNLt

But this strategy is basically an admission. Time for the Guarantee Clause powers? That piece was a random bit of musing, more or less off-the-cuff, but I’ve heard from a couple of eminent constitutional law professors who thought I was dead-on. We’ll see.
