@RobGerundo@JackPosobiec 8.1.26 groceries are 33% higher and gas is $4.25/gal and...oh, He started just a few wars and today we are closer to WW3 than ever...it's going great.
@stelzner_n1150 Interesting that within hours, the unredacted files are given to a Judge and T announces Palestinians will get control and security of Gaza back.
Iran announces the re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessel traffic, citing the continued israeli bombing & killing raids on Lebanon https://t.co/TwSC6hhgCM
**Right-wing extremism (esp. racially/ethnically motivated) has produced more deadly domestic attacks and comparable or higher fatalities than left-wing since 9/11, per GAO, FBI, and DHS data.**
Far-left extremism has caused very few deaths. Islamist-inspired attacks caused notable fatalities too (e.g., Orlando), but left-wing stands out for minimal lethal violence in federal tracking. Actual attacks don't match the poll's "justification" numbers either way.
During a Senate hearing yesterday, Defense Secretary Hegseth said that it would take "months to years" to replenish munitions spent on Trump's war with Iran.
Today, Trump claimed that we have "more than double" the munitions we had prior to the war with Iran.
Trump has discovered that the ideal response to an attempted assassination is interior decoration.
A shooting occurs, a bullet comes within inches of removing the need for a future election, and the President of the United States looks at the evidence and concludes: we need a bigger dance floor.
This is, you have to admit, a form of logic. Just not one that has ever appeared in a governance textbook.
Most leaders, confronted with a genuine attempt on their life, might call for a security review. Perhaps a quiet meeting with the Secret Service. Maybe even a moment of sober reflection on the fragility of democratic institutions. Trump looked at the same set of facts and thought: chandeliers. Gold ones, presumably.
The White House ballroom has apparently been a pet project for some time, because when you are running the most powerful nation on earth, what keeps you up at night is the inadequate square footage for hosting galas.
The shooting, rather than prompting any kind of rethink, has apparently become the latest justification for the renovation. The threat to his life is now a fundraising argument for parquet flooring.
There is a kind of genius to it, if you squint hard enough and abandon all remaining faith in political seriousness. The man has found a way to monetise his own near-death experience faster than most people find their car keys.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Washington, a policy document sits unread. But the mood lighting is going to be absolutely spectacular.ββββββββββββββββ

According to controversial former Israel intelligence operative Ari-Ben Menashe (who uncovered the Iran-Contra scandal, and no one believed what he said at first) Israel blackmails everyone with Epstein information, as Epstein was their agent. And they have photos of Melania with Epstein.
@hemantmehta Yes, and why aren't his doctors being charged with ethical malpractice by letting him ignore his own illness that's putting people's lives at risk and terrorizing the world ?
