Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

But which one is the idiot? Oz is actually correct, a buck a stick is $4 a pound (4 sticks in a pound). It's weird to price it by the stick, but it is accurate. Ingraham is correct about a pound of butter, but not a stick.

I think as time passes for each presidency, people give them more benefit of the doubt. Look at Reagan, who liberals HATED, but over several decades a lot of people say "not too bad." It seems apparent in the chart of recent presidents, the more recent the worse the ratings (generally).

Given that it does not say "Trump" on it, Schmitt would have to infer that Trump is acting like a king in order for it to refer to him. (and if this is a made-up quote for humor, never mind ...)

Look, a cop can legally follow you around. It's what they do with suspected criminals. They don't need probable cause to do it. Again, I'm not saying I like the thought of Flocks tracking my movements, but under the current law I am not sure we can stop it. We will see.

I am not saying I like or approve that police are tracking movements, I am just questioning if this will stand up to appellate review. Especially if it get to this SCOTUS.

I'm no crim defense attorney, but at first glance, this seems to be a large expansion of the 4th Amendment. If police are prohibited from observing what happens on a public road, where does that stop? I get the rationale, that Flock cameras track movements, but they are publicly observable movements

Here's what Tucker Carlson is up to when he talks to his own audience, instead of interviewers from NPR or NY Times: Explaining that white people are facing extinction and the ADL is trying to cover it up. He concludes, "Noticing is hate. Noticing is violence." www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carls...
TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Again, what possible interest would the Anti-Defamation League have in attacking whites in South Africa who say they're being killed, especially since there are many, many hundreds who have been killed? And that's documented. That's not a guess, and it's not a conspiracy theory. And every single one of them was killed by a Black South African. This is intra-racial crime, and it is racially motivated.And the testimony of almost every survivor corroborates that. So why is it in the interest of the ADL not simply to deny it's happening, but to attack the survivors of it and their family members? You have to ponder that for a minute.

Here's Wikipedia's response to this racial conspiracy theory. Quote, white genocide is a political myth based on pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and ethnic hatred, and is driven by a psychological panic often termed white extinction anxiety.

White extinction anxiety, often referred to as white extinction anxiety. So let's just, I don't know, get the demographic numbers, which are publicly available for the biggest white countries in Europe and North America, and ask a really simple question. Is the percentage, the proportion, of the white population going up or down? Say over the past 50 years, has it gone up or down? Well, it's not only gone down, it's bottomed out. United States went from nearly 90% white over 60 years to probably less than half white.

So that's white extinction anxiety? No. Those are facts. So again, it's not enough to pretend that it's not happening. Wikipedia, like the ADL, like CBS News, like ABC News, feels the moral obligation to attack anyone who happens to notice what's happening. The facts are themselves racist. Objectively, again Wikipedia, white people are not dying out or facing extermination. The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to justify a commitment to a white nationalist agenda in support of calls to violence.

Noticing is hate. Noticing is violence.

He always has some completely BS response in his back pocket. It's his superpower. It's why he appears to his base as being OK, as opposed to Biden, who, when he did not have (or did not want to give) a BS answer, struggled to answer some questions.
