Amy Coney Barrett was swatted last month. Neither Pete Buttigieg nor Mark commented on it. The New York Times did not do a story on it.

I like Mark, but the truth is the only thing new about this story is that it happened to a Democrat. It’s ho-hum and commonplace for conservatives.

[Matt Morse @MattMorseTV]

Everyone needs to stop crashing out everytime they see a headline like this.

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this out loud, but DHS Secretary Mullin is currently pursuing a strategy of "say one thing, do another" -- he's paying lip service to the emotional concerns of the Left, while also quietly taking care of business. In this case, yes, Haitian TPS holders can apply for an extended visa -- just don't tell the Democrats that these visas are currently getting denied at a rate of 97%.

Deportation numbers are currently the highest they've ever been. Deportation flights are currently 2.5x what they were 16 months ago. The DHS is actually closing down detention facilities across the country (another headline that everyone melted down over) because we have so many deportation flights taking place right now.

What's more, and perhaps most importantly, national approval ratings for mass deportations have recently risen from 50% to 56% -- for better or for worse, this is a very important issue that must be successfully navigated if we actually want to save our country.

And worth noting, this has all happened AFTER the optics nightmare that was Minnesota. I thought it was cool, but I'm cognizant enough to recognize that it made deportations look "icky" to many Americans.

If people stop voting for mass deportations, we stop getting mass deportations. Mullin is doing a good job.

@IngrahamAngle Mullin is simply stating the law.

This is not a backtrack.

99% of them will be sent home after failing to qualify to stay.

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

This "interaction," and far worse, is what Democrats normalized against Trump Cabinet officials and even voters. Thousands of attacks on people for wearing a MAGA hat. Tim Walz encouraged Tesla's to be fire bombed. This is MAINSTREAM Democrat behavior.

[Holler Dawg @JeffStrunk69]

@seanmdav No it's not like that Mullin knows the vast majority will be denied and sent back. He's just stating the law not advocating for them to 'stay'.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

“Get the hell outta here.”

This is the attitude that our elected officials have for Republican voters — contempt.

“I’m the assh@le saying you can’t come in.”

If you know anyone in South Dakota, please show them this video.

I never ask you to make things viral.

Why is @ScottPresler being blocked from the South Dakota GOP event?

[RAY @3xcalibaneur]

It’s mind-boggling that every elite gating mechanism of our society has been systematically ground down to the point where someone with this resume could waltz into one of the most prestigious financial institutions in the US and get an “executive director” position paying $300k

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

We have rediscovered at great cost what America’s first @USTreasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton taught us: the nation that depends on its adversaries for critical inputs is neither truly sovereign nor truly prosperous.

As we approach 250 years of American independence, we would do well to remember that our founders left us more than a Republic—they bequeathed a roadmap powerful enough to sustain it for two and a half centuries and beyond.

They didn’t just import voters, they imported judges too

[Stephen Moore @StephenMoore]

The Trump economy is poised to take off after years of strong income growth for middle-income Americans.

If the Iran deal holds, oil flows freely, inflation eases, and gas prices fall back under $3 a gallon.

With U.S. AI dominance and breakthroughs from companies like SpaceX, the American economy is positioned for a breakout!

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Judge Sparkle decrees that America belongs to any random alien on planet earth, just like our founders intended.

@ThomasMHern Her constituents should be more concerned about the algae that has occupied that congressional seat since 1933.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

Have you ever noticed how eager a certain class of journalist, bureaucrat, and politician is to discredit combat veterans?

Not disagree with them. Discredit them.

The veteran is never merely wrong. He’s unstable, dangerous, extremist, reckless, a threat to democracy, a national security risk, or whatever label happens to be fashionable that week.

The reason is simple.

Combat creates a form of legitimacy that cannot be purchased, credentialed, networked into existence, or bestowed by an institution. It is earned the old-fashioned way, through risk, sacrifice, and proximity to consequences.

That makes some people deeply uncomfortable.

A résumé can be manufactured. A reputation can be curated. An entire career can be built inside climate-controlled rooms where every risk is professional and every failure theoretical.

Reality offers no such accommodations.

The attack is rarely about the opinion itself. It’s against the credibility carried by the person expressing it.

A healthy civilization treats warriors, scholars, builders, workers, and statesmen as complementary.

An unhealthy one becomes obsessed with destroying every form of legitimacy except its own.

After all, a class confident in its legitimacy does not spend this much time trying to destroy everyone else’s.

[Holler Dawg @JeffStrunk69]

@JohnJHarwood Gabbard is doing the job 'journalists' were supposed to: Reveal the truth and let the people decide.

The Fake News and lying news anchors like you have eviscerated whatever trust the media used to have.

This country is poorly served by our 'media' you have failed spectacularly.

[Mark Hemingway @Heminator]

His campaign called Mitt Romney a felon who wanted to put black people back in chains and gave his employees cancer, but OK.

I’ve never seen a more accurate meme. Excuse me I’m going back to my birdseed reviews now.

@CynicalPublius Same here - they are all part of the Big Club.

HW was groomed all the way to DCI his family was grifting the whole time.

RE: George W. Bush

One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s. This cost me friends and exposed me to relentless personal attacks. I defended his CHARACTER. I thought what I was doing was right. I was wrong.

I did not believe—and still do not believe—that he “lied” us into the war in Iraq. My belief was and is based on my knowledge of classified pre-war intelligence and my service early in the war on the Iraqi base that was most suspected to include WMD storage.

I defended Bush against “Bush lied, people died.” I defended Bush against “Chimpy McBushitler” and all of the other spurious Democrat insults that served only to undermine the war effort I had been fighting.

But while I defended Bush, he NEVER defended himself.

Then, when a true Marxist was elected President in the form of the worst human being to occupy the Oval Office since Woodrow Wilson (i.e., Barack Obama), Bush was SILENT. He never, ever spoke out against Obama, and even cozied up to him and Michelle, which I assumed was part of the tradition of former Presidents never criticizing their successors. (I was wrong in my assumption.)

THEN Donald Trump was elected President by America and suddenly Bush found his voice in criticizing serving Presidents. Why would he do this to a member of his own party other than because Trump was an outsider determined to dismantle the tyranny of the federal administrative state?

I now know that George W. Bush is a Deep State charlatan of extremely low character. Allegiance to the Deep State and The Swamp trumps any allegiance he may have ever had to his own party, the United States of America, the Constitution, or the American people.

He is despicable.

Surprisingly, I now find him more objectionable than the other Presidents in this picture. At least they let us know who they actually were.

One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s.
