MANKATO, Minnesota (AP) - Charlie Kirk stood 80 miles from where George Floyd was murdered, faced an overwhelmingly white audience, and declared he was going to say things "no one dares say out loud."
What followed was an avalanche of aspersions and debunked claims about Floyd, the Black man whose death at the hands of a
Minneapolis police officer set off a global reckoning over racial injustice and broad calls for change. But the white conservative agitator had a counter view: Floyd was a "scumbag," he said, unworthy of the attention.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

The next Republican who has enough
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick
ORepBrianFitz
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy need not, and must not, have any deal
forced upon him by any outside nation that does not guarantee the
security and the sovereignty of the Ukrainian peope, the people who
elected him with over 73% of the popular vote, in an election that was
recognized as free and fair by the Organization for Security and Co-
operation in Europe (0SsCE), where l served as a Commissioner and
Congressional Appointee. Russia has never held such elections.
President Zelenskyy, and all negotiators, need to know this: There is an
outcome-determinative number of Members of the United States
Congress, from both parties and in both Chambers, who are ready, willing.
and able to do whatever it takes to prevent Communist Dictator Vladimir Putin from being rewarded for his illegal invasion, raping, kidnapping, torturing and murdering of the Ukrainian people, including so many women and children. We will use every lever and every vote at our disposal, regardless of the personal or political consequences. This matter is that time-sensitive and it is that existential. It is legacy-defining.
We all want an immediate end to this brutal Russian invasion and killing.
For a peace agreement to be fair and lasting, it must be done in a way that
holds the Russian invaders accountable, protects the dignity of the Ukrainian victims, and provides for fair and equitable cost-sharing amongst all European nations. To do otherwise would be to encourage future invasions and to perpetuate future heartache and bloodshed.
This is about Peace Through Strength. This is about Patriotic Common Sense. And Patriotic Common Sense is what America must always stand
for.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
