> Right after the presidential election, they destroyed a bunch of them. This isn’t true. 5 days after the election 1 satellite fell from orbit, which is a regular occurrence as at that time there were 7,000 Starlink satellites in orbit. Now there are over 10,000

This is how bad the rapid rise of gas prices has gotten: Gas stations are letting you lock in a price for up to four days so you don’t get burned. I’m thinking if the invasion of Cuba seems imminent I’ll actually put this to use.

What a great day of college football. Starting with Ted Cruz being booed, to Indiana’s blowout to that amazing Oklahoma State win to Texas taking down #1 Buckeyes, it was a very satisfying day.

Not enough people are reading through the full article to understand the plan is to stop the ballot from being delivered to you in the first place. It’s impossible to take your ballot to a drop box when you never get a ballot because USPS has sent them all back to the county.

It seems like just yesterday we were promised that Antifa’s days were numbered due to the arrest of… …Antifa’s girlfriend. Guess that bombshell fizzled out when Noem left the administration?

I would invite you to visit a Super King here in Southern California which is a Hispanic + Asian + Armenian supermarket. It’s a real trip on a busy Friday with babushkas, mamacitas and mamasans all shopping at once.

It's a healthcare economy.
Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" showing change in employment since January 2025 through June 2026. Healthcare and social assistance added 945,900 jobs over this 18-month period, representing nearly all net job creation, while the rest of the economy lost 229,900 jobs. The healthcare sector grew consistently throughout the period, while other sectors experienced steep declines bottoming at 535,600 jobs lost in February 2026 before partially recovering, illustrating an unusually concentrated labor market where job growth exists almost exclusively in healthcare.

This is the perfect summation of the BlueAnon claim that Musk stole the election. When asked how exactly it could have happened this is the reply. This is the same level of ridiculousness that MAGA was spouting in 2020. Pure uncut copium.

Any one, red or blue, asking for a forensic audit of an election is simply telegraphing they don’t understand how elections work. Ballots and poll books/signed VBM envelopes are separated to maintain the secrecy of the ballot. That prevents anything resembling a forensic audit.

Appropriately, the DNC “autopsy” on the 2024 election doesn’t list fraud or “election rigging” as a possible reason Harris lost. Harris didn’t lose because of Starlink or rigged ballots. Claiming election fraud without evidence simply because your candidate lost is called a coping mechanism.

There’s as much proof of Ashley St Clair’s claim that Musk stole the 2024 election as there is of Trumpworld’s ridiculous fraud claims from 2020. That is, zero. Whether Chinese ballots and Italian satellites in 2020 or Starlink in 2024 extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Good lord the interview with the “expert” quoted by This Will Hold 🙄 reads like Conspiracy Bingo. Greer has the inside track on UAP/UFOs, Epstein Island and the 2024 election. This guy makes Trump look downright humble. And no, the NSA didn’t audit the 2024 election. If the NSA rolled

Not seeing too many mentions of it but it the opening of the entertainment portion of the #Olympics ceremony they played Prisencolinensinainciusol, which is a mocking of American songs by Adriano Celentano. He sang the song to sound like English but with gibberish. youtu.be/RObuKTeHoxo?...

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

Still absolutely flabbergasted to see how quickly and completely conservatives traded their belief in an all-powerful #2A for their loyalty to Trump. Dems have a huge opportunity to push that messaging - that #2A has carve outs - along with abolishing ICE, impeaching Noem, etc.
