@alonpinkas.bsky.social just checking in my friend, want to make sure you are surviving Bibi’s dictatorship. My Sox and your Yankees aren’t doing so well but it’s a long season!

The Mfer has knocked down all of the historic east wing of the White House. This is a crime. There has to be a reckoning.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

“Hey Johnny, see that lady on the screen? She got her job by killing a puppy named Cricket.” This is only a slight exaggeration, but — I promise — it will lead to a lively conversation for the whole family, not to mention a memorable father-son bonding moment. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

It’s kinda funny that the Nobel Peace Prize went to a Latina. Must be some serious ketchup on the wall.

There is perverse thinking, and a step below that is thinking that a president that is illegally sending US military units into US cities should be awarded the Nobel Peace prize.

BREAKING: Two Epstein victims write letters slamming the Trump DOJ and FBI for its handling of the Epstein case. "I am not some pawn in your political warfare. ... Why not be completely transparent? Show us all the files with only the necessary redactions! Be done with it and allow me/us to heal."

The name of George W. Bush elicits a lot of negative reactions. Just a reminder that his Presidents Emergency Plan For Aids Relief (PEPFAR) has saved 26 million lives in Sub-Saharan Africa. The most successful program of its type in American history. And it hangs by a thread.

Any other president would have said after the attack: the attack was a success, all our bombs were on target, all our pilots returned safely. We’ll await the results of the battle damage assessment. God bless America and God bless our troops. Pretty easy.

Not happy how the Iran Op went down but I will not cry for Iran. It has a lot of American blood on its hands and the list is long: Embassy Tehran, Embassy Beirut (twice), USMC barracks, Khobar Towers, EFPs killing scores of Americans in Sadr City and elsewhere in Iraq. Payback’s a bitch.

We better tighten things up in terms of Counterterrorism. That means pulling FBI agents off of the bullshit deportation teams and doing their actual mission. Protecting the homeland.

It’s the consensus of the National intelligence community that Tren de Aragua is not controlled by Venezuela. So Trump’s predicate for deporting people under the Alien Enemy’s Act is total bullshit.
