The California elections prove one thing to me:

Leftists are truly in a cult. That, or their thinking is very cult-like.

If I lived in a city where there was garbage on the streets, open drug use, fires and destruction, graffiti, and the *one* person who could directly do something about it was like “this is horrible… someone should do something about this…” you can bet your sweet Aunt Petunia I’d be voting for the guy who is telling everyone he’s going to do something about it.

Instead, they’ll sit in their filth and grime and say “this is fine… as long as a Republican isn’t in charge, this is fine.”

Someone make it make sense to me…

Hello @AOC, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime?

You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off.

You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes."

They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights.

While AOC was preaching "solidarity" in her hijab, the male-only crowd ignored her and spoke over her:

I used to work at the post office in the Brentwood Country Mart. One day, I was helping a woman with many packages. Out of the blue, I hear a voice yelling at me. I look out the slotted window at this impossibly thin woman in pink pants and jacket that fit so impeccably on her, to the point it was ridiculous. She showed no regard for the other customers in line. She snapped at me again and sighed as if I was the biggest idiot. I couldn’t read her lips and I saw that she was holding a package in her arms. I said something like, I’ll help you after these customers. She snapped again. The woman I was helping finally spoke up and told the lady that I was deaf. That only pissed her off more and she put on her sunglasses and stormed out. Well, that’s my Jane Fonda story and, yes, we should judge people by how they treat others.

Hello Senator Thune,

I'm replying to your post from yesterday: "Despite Democrats' partisan games, we're still going to get the entire federal government funded."

Today, you sent the Senate home... not because of Democrats. Because of you.

Here's what actually happened.

On May 18, the DOJ announced an Anti-Weaponization Fund: $1.776 billion to compensate Americans harmed by Biden-era DOJ abuse. Your own caucus revolted. After a two-hour closed-door meeting, you departed for Memorial Day recess without a vote. ICE and CBP funding, punted to June 1. The "partisan games," it turns out, were yours.

Your stated objections: no congressional authorization, no eligibility standards, no legal precedent, executive overreach. Fine. But let's talk about November 2025, when you tucked a provision into the government funding bill.

The FBI had quietly seized phone records from eight Republican senators without notice, under an investigation codenamed "Arctic Frost."

Your provision gave those senators, and only those senators, $500,000 per violation, retroactive to 2022. The House voted 426-0 to repeal it.

The critics weren't opposed to compensating victims of DOJ abuse. They were opposed to senators compensating themselves while doing no other structural reforms.

Lindsey Graham held the Senate hostage to preserve it. He delayed a spending deal in January 2026 to secure a floor vote on his revised version.

Let's put the two columns next to each other:

➤ DOJ abused senators: $500K/violation payout, senators only, no hearings, no process, no eligibility debate, no floor vote on substance.

➤ DOJ abused Americans: "very legitimate questions," two-hour meeting, Senate goes home, reconciliation punted, June 1 deadline in jeopardy.

You told Punchbowl News you "did not personally see a need for this fund."

You personally saw a need for the fund when the targets were you.

Go cry harder to your Punchbowl friends @JakeSherman and @AndrewDesiderio, because at this rate, they'll soon become the only people who are buying what you're selling.

A lot of Americans remember Sears as a dying store in a half-empty mall.

That’s not what Sears was.

Sears was how American factories entered ordinary houses. Kenmore in the kitchen. Craftsman in the garage. DieHard under the hood. Coldspot humming in the corner. Lawn tractors in sheds. Socket sets in drawers that nobody was allowed to lose.

It was basements, workbenches, catalogs, part numbers, repairmen, delivery trucks, credit accounts, and old men who could hear a washer struggling before it finally quit.

A kid could flip through the Wish Book and learn what adulthood looked like. Tools. Appliances. Work boots. School clothes. A bicycle. Sometimes even a whole house ordered by mail and built piece by piece after the materials came in by rail.

That was the part Sears understood. America was full of people trying to build stable lives with practical things.

Then the practical world got replaced by a disposable one. The catalogs vanished. The stores hollowed out. Manufacturing moved overseas. Repair got expensive. Replacement got cheap. The people who knew how everything worked got older, retired, or died, and a lot of what they knew went with them.

People call it the death of a department store.

I don’t.

Sears was one of the last national systems that still assumed ordinary Americans should know how to maintain the world around them instead of just replacing it. That’s the strange poverty nobody talks about now.

Not having fewer things. Having more than ever and understanding almost none of them.

BUSTED: @mattvanswol just revealed that the dude who had been drawing Swastikas all over Fayetteville, NC wasn't actually white like the media claimed.

He's Taquon Jameek Vereen and was let out on a $1500 bond. What happened next? Police say he almost immediately began waving a gun at people walking down the street.

THEN what happened? A $2500 bond and the TRUTH being covered up by the media.

Let's fix that - REPOST this everywhere!

I’ll say this, pal…

When I joined X, I never thought I’d be running Miami Vice accounts — and I definitely never thought they’d grow into two accounts that bring people together from all over the world just to have a good time over a show we all love.

And that’s really what this has become.

Not just posting clips and screenshots… but talking about the culture, the aesthetics, the fashion, the style, the music, the acting, the directing, the storytelling, the grit, and the overall impact this show still has 40 years later. That’s the fascinating part to me. Miami Vice never really disappeared. You still see its fingerprints everywhere today if you actually stop and look.

What’s been even better is the people. Meeting folks nationally and internationally, talking episodes, cars, music, scenes, style — all of it. Just people connecting over something they genuinely enjoy. That’s rare now, and I appreciate every single person who follows, interacts, jokes around, and keeps the daily fun rolling.

At the end of the day, this account was built organically from scratch. No grand plan. No expectations. Just passion for the show and wanting to keep the Vice spirit alive in a fun way. I never thought it would grow this much honestly, and I’m still a very small account in the grand scheme of things — but now I’ve got a challenge for myself:

10K.

I think we can get there, pal.

And I want to do it organically. No gimmicks. No nonsense. Just consistency, passion, nostalgia, and staying true to what made the show special in the first place.

Because I’ve learned something doing this:
If you handle nostalgia the right way — respect the IP, stay authentic to it, welcome everybody into the conversation, keep the unnecessary noise and opinions to a minimum, and just focus on having fun — people will always respond to it.

Nostalgia always sells when it comes from a real place.

So with that said… I appreciate all of you. Thanks for the follows, the laughs, the conversations, and for helping keep Vice alive 40 years later.

Let’s keep the fun going.

See you out there, pal. 🌴☀️

Some things you just can't make up.

I was watching the California gubernatorial debate when Katie Porter, a serious candidate for governor, stepped to the microphone and said it out loud: the illegal immigration enabled by sanctuary status is the only way the state has been able to mitigate its population decline.

Unbelievable that she is even a possibility for the job. Yet there she was, on stage, handing us the quiet truth that Democrats have spent years dancing around. Leave it to one of them, apparently in a drunken stupor, to admit what we have believed all along and what they would never say in public. California is bleeding residents, families, and businesses at a record pace, and the progressive policies driving them out, high taxes, crushing regulations, unaffordable housing, energy costs that defy logic, are never up for debate. Instead, the solution is to import more people who have not yet felt the full weight of those same policies.

Does common sense not ask the obvious question? Why are Californians leaving in droves, and why not correct the root causes rather than solicit foreigners who may not know yet that they cannot afford the progressive experiment? Oh wait, they get free stuff: subsidized housing, healthcare, education, and a host of benefits that mask the underlying failure long enough to keep the census numbers from collapsing entirely.

This is not leadership. This is accounting sleight of hand dressed up as compassion. Real leaders do not celebrate replacement migration as a fix for self-inflicted wounds. They confront the policies that make families choose Utah, Idaho, Texas, or Florida over the Golden State they once loved. They understand that a vibrant population comes from opportunity, not from importing new arrivals to paper over the exodus.

California deserves better than this level of denial. The rest of us, watching from the sidelines or living through the consequences, deserve leaders who tell the truth even when it is uncomfortable. Because when the mask slips and the quiet truth finally escapes, as it did on that debate stage, the path forward becomes crystal clear: fix the policies, restore the dream, or watch the decline continue under a different name.

Fun fact: Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey" cast already chased away half the audience - and it's the EDUCATED half that would actually appreciate a movie like this:

Matt Damon: Called a Trump presidency “nervous-making" and said there’s no way we can let this guy be the president.

John Leguizamo: Told Latino Trump voters not to come to his shows or watch his movies and called supporting Trump self-hate.

Anne Hathaway: Posted “TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS” while attacking Trump for erasing transgender protections.

Zendaya: Posted “Vote this mf out” about Trump in 2020.

Charlize Theron: Has repeatedly slammed Trump on immigration, women’s rights, and LGBTQ issues.

Lupita Nyong’o: Supported voting against Trump-era policies and progressive causes.

Jon Bernthal: Called Trump supporters “misguided, lost, and afraid” and told alt-right fans to F— themselves.

ELLEN/Elliot Page: Extremely vocal against Trump/Vance and Republican policies on trans issues.

All this is enough to keep me from buying a ticket.

How about you?

Our truck drivers have been hit and run twice by Indian, non english speaking semi truck drivers. One tore off our mirror, the other tore off our trailer fender. Both took off the moment our drivers demanded insurance info. The MC numbers on their trucks were defunct.

20 years ago, immigrants came to our country because they loved it and wanted to contribute. Now, thanks to the democrats, they only come here to loot our generosity, and if that isn't frustrating enough, working class Americans are expected pay for it and to starve while immigrants live our American dream.

We are thoroughly fed up.

BUT FEMA HAD AN EXTRA $1 BILLION TO SPEND ON ILLEGALS!
