I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

Welker: "You insisted no new wars."

Trump: "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war."

Welker: "You said it over and over again."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WELKER: Will any deal you make include the release of Americans who are being held by Iran?

TRUMP: We'll see. Nobody has an accurate list of who they are or if they're being held

WELKER: Are you demanding a list?

TRUMP: No

Consumers hold the power to sanction the people turning our country into a fascist dictatorship. This includes targeting States attacking minority voting rights. There must be a price paid by fascists and their enablers. Make Ellison regret buying CBS. Boycott CBS' top ten sponsors.

There’s literally nothing weird about Thomas Matthew Crooks emailing a deputy from Butler, PA before the assassination attempt. It’s not weird that he practiced shooting at the same range Homeland Security used. It’s not weird that the local police and Secret Service spotted Crooks with a rangefinder, photographed him, and texted about him for over an hour and still let him climb the roof with a rifle. It’s not weird that the Secret Service wasn’t flying drones that day, but Crooks was. It’s not weird that Butler was the first Trump rally of the year with Secret Service anti-sniper agents on the roofs. It’s not weird that Crooks’ house looked like a sterile lab with no trash or silverware. And it’s not weird that his body was cremated ten days later before Congress could see it. This is like when people say the CIA was shadowing Oswald before he, and he alone, shot JFK.

STAGED Assassination Attempt (Butler) UPDATE: Butler, PA Sheriff’s Office reportedly exchanged EMAILS with gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks BEFORE the incident!!
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was forced to release heavily redacted documents that revealed Thomas Matthew Crooks, trump’s would-be “assassin”, had exchanged emails with a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy prior to his attack on July 13, 2024.
Judicial Watch forced the FBI to make dozens of documents public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, revealing that the deputy exchanged two emails with Crooks before the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The heavily redacted document was part of an FBI electronic communication titled “Disc of 5 Deputies of Butler County Sheriff’s Office” conducted on July 16, 2024, which compiles interviews the bureau conducted with deputies.
The file indicates that a deputy had “checked her emails and records and only had two email communications” from Crooks. The nature of the communication was redacted, and the unnamed deputy said she had not had any “personal interaction” with Crooks.
WHY redacted? What was that conversion? What are they hiding??
Remember how I reported the Butler Chief of Police retired just one month before the incident and my earlier reports outlined how local law enforcement seemed coordinated in the effort to allow Crooks to get into position, even after several eye witnesses were pointing him out. This further indicates a multi-faceted scheme, complete with local law enforcement and the Secret Service to pull off the greatest HOAX in the history of American Politics! STAGED!!

California just made it a literal felony for federal agents or law enforcement to touch ballots or tamper with voting machines without a warrant. Gov. Newsom just drew a massive line in the sand against regime interference: 👇 https://t.co/uvhlt1fCmj

@kenyadad12 At this point, they must be pretty sure that they will outlive trump. They want to be able to run for office without the stench of that family on them.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on two campaign finance cases that could forever change our elections.

A friend of mine has two tickets for game 4 of the nba finals. They are courtside seats plus airfare and hotel accommodations. He didn't realize when he bought them that this is the same day as his wedding - so he can't go.

If you're interested and want to go instead of him, it's at St. Peter's Church in New York City at 5 PM. Her name is Donna. She will be the one in the white dress.

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

82 years ago today, brave heroes stormed the beaches of Normandy to defeat fascism in Europe.

We must honor their service by recognizing and defeating fascism when it arises in our own country.

BOOM! Jamie Raskin is UNSTOPPABLE: Constitutional scholar, lawyer, and competent congressman Jamie Raskin is looking healthier and more energized than ever.

He just drew a moral line on the House floor that the GOP can't cross: "We draw a line against the rape and sexual violation of children."

He named the banks that bankrolled Epstein's billion-dollar trafficking ring: JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon.

He named Alex Acosta—Trump's Labor Secretary—who killed the investigation that could've brought down the entire network. He looked directly at the GOP and said: "You have children. Don't you want to know?" Then he mentioned college sports teams. You know who that is.

Jim Jordan—who had a locker two down from Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State, whom wrestlers say looked them in the face and dismissed their abuse as "that's just Strauss," and who they say KNEW and did NOTHING while 177 young men were violated.

And the files? They show Elon Musk emailing Epstein asking about the "wildest party" on his island and responding to Epstein's offer of "no one over 25 and all very cute." JPMorgan lawsuits allege Epstein referred to Musk as a client WHILE moving billions for his trafficking operation.

This isn't about party. This is about truth.

Conservatives: You scream about "protecting children" while voting for the men who covered up the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history.

How do you sleep? How do you vote? How do you look your kids in the eye?
