One of the most striking things about yesterday’s Zelensky press conference was Lindsey Graham’s reaction to it. The two are old friends, but Graham disavowed him within the hour. This was more than just transactional disloyalty. It was scapegoating. Lindsey Graham knows what’s coming. Over the past three years, with the tacit support of its western patrons, the Ukrainian government has committed a remarkable number of serious crimes. The Ukrainians sold huge quantities of American weapons on the international black market at twenty cents on the dollar. These weapons are now in the hands of armed groups around the world, including Hamas, the Mexican drug cartels and the forces now controlling Syria. God knows what the Ukrainians have done with the pathogens in American biolabs in their country. Even US intel agencies aren’t sure. The Ukrainians have also murdered a number of people in various countries in political assassinations, and tried to murder others, including American journalists and a European head of state. This is all true, and it’s all going to come out at some point. Better to start blaming it on Zelensky now.

Former President Donald Trump carved out an early election night lead over Vice President Kamala Harris after he won the first swing state called—North Carolina—on Tuesday and was ahead in five other battlegrounds just after polls closed. https://t.co/qi6lhmQckp
RFK Jr. was previously asked about how it felt to be condemned by his own family.
He told a story about how his father gave him a book just two weeks before he died.
RFK said he read the book multiple times, trying to figure out what lesson his dad wanted to give him.
Here is what he said:
"Camus had written this book called The Plague. My father gave it to me and he told me, with this kind of peculiar intensity, 'I want you to read this'."
"He said this with this directness that after he died, I ended up reading that book about three times, trying to figure out kind of what the message was that he was trying to give me."
Breakdown of the book:
- "The Plague" is set in a North African city hit by an unprecedented plague.
- The city is quarantined, and the story begins with a focus on the doctor's internal conflict.
- The doctor initially considers not helping because there is no treatment the unknown disease.
- Despite the risks, the doctor decides to comfort and serve the people.
- Camus, an existentialist, draws from Stoicism, focusing on duty and service.
- The doctor's actions bring order to the chaos, reflecting Stoic philosophy.
- RFK then discussed Sisyphus, a figure in Stoicism, who is happy despite his eternal, futile task.
- Sisyphus's happiness comes from fulfilling his duty (protecting people from a rolling stone), regardless of the outcome.
"For eternity [he] pushes a rock up a hill. He can never get it over the top. It always rolls back down and on top of him. And then he goes up and does it again," RFK said.
"Sisyphus is a happy man because he put his shoulder to the stone. He was given a duty and he does his duty. And that self-sacrifice that he makes, brings order to a chaotic universe."
"So for me to have kind of a concrete task that I know is right, and I'm open to criticism, I have a critical mind. If somebody shows me where I got it wrong, I'll change. I'm not dug in, I'm not hardheaded in that sense."
"But until somebody shows me that I'm gonna try to help these children and, you know, and I feel like it's a gift. So, and the more people that abuse me, the bigger the gift is in some way."

NEW: Moments after VP Kamala Harris bragged about her immigration record, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals rules in favor of Texas, allowing them to keep their buoys in the Rio Grande.
“The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in Texas's favor, finding that the federal district court abused its discretion when it ordered Texas to remove the buoys floating in the Rio Grande that prevent aliens from attempting a dangerous river crossing to enter America illegally,” AG Ken Paxton said.
“The buoys can remain in the river. I will continue to defend Texas's right to protect its border from illegal immigration!”
Kamala Harris wants to:
Ban fracking
Defund the police
Let Tsarnaev vote
Give illegals aliens Medicare
Abolish ICE
Eliminate cash bail
Ban plastic straws
But sure, people don’t like her because she’s a woman of color.
That has to be it. 🎯
BREAKING: Today Biden is announcing an executive action that will essentially grant amnesty to 500,000 illegal immigrants.
Is it constitutional?
FCK NO, but nothing he’s done for 3+ years has been.
But it doesn’t matter anymore because “The Republicans” have stopped defending OUR REPUBLIC.
They’ve stopped honoring the Constitution.
THEY’VE STOPPED FIGHTING FOR US.
Biden’s EO will also make it easier for illegals to gain citizenship and provide work visas to some.
NEXT STOP: VOTING RIGHTS.
So to conclude:
November 3, 2020 was:
A coup
An insurrection
An invasion
And a hostile takeover of our country.
This president was removable on day one because he proved himself to be a threat on day one.
America has fallen.
BREAKING - MUST WATCH: This was perhaps the most EXPLOSIVE exchange today between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Congressman Rich McCormick (@RepMcCormick), a medical doctor who treated patients during COVID but was censored for pointing out the science.
He told Fauci, "You said in an interview that you gave as part of an audiobook written by Michael Specter that you believed institutions should make it hard for people to live their lives so they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated." WATCH
Question: Someone said only politicians, only bloggers, only conspiracy theorists are disagreeing with you. I want to point out that I'm probably the only member of Congress that actually treated patients during the pandemic.
From the very beginning to the very end of the pandemic, during night shifts in the ER, thousands of patients during that time and in 2020 I was censored.
My medical license was threatened because I disagreed with bureaucrats, literally taken off the Internet as a person who is treating patients with leading edge technologies, developing theories, but doing my very best, but being censored by the United States government for the first time, stepping in and taking the place of medical professionals as the experts in healthcare.
Any dissent surrounding COVID-19 treatments, mask mandates, and any public policy surrounding the pandemic was immediately labeled as anti-science.
I watched as public health officials and politicians told my patients what treatment options were best for them, regardless of their comorbidities or their medical history.
Despite my education and my training and my experience, my opinions were relegated to conspiracy and misinformation by so-called healthcare experts who had never treated a patient throughout the entire pandemic.
This has been a black eye on the medicine and has highlighted why government should never, never insert itself in between patients and their healthcare providers.
The American people deserve to make medical decisions through conversations with their physicians rather than politically motivated mandates.
Question: Doctor Fauci, did you ever treat a patient for COVID during the pandemic?
Answer: I was part of a team that was at the NIH that took care. We didn't take care of many of them.
Question: Okay, so not hands-on. Got it. Thank you. Why would I be criticized by a bureaucrat for doing my very best as a healthcare professional? This is a rhetorical question, but why? Why would the government, who has never treated a patient for COVID... You can read all the things you want, but you're not there. You're not seeing patients. You're not watching people die. Intubating patients right there with that disease in your face, watching it happen, watching the development of this disease and actually learning from it. But I'm being told by bureaucrats what's right and wrong. And what's funny is everything I was censored on, I was proven to be right. Pretty crazy, isn't it?
Question: You said in an interview that you gave as part of an audiobook written by Michael Specter that you believed institutions should make it hard for people to live their lives so they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated. Could we run the audio clip on that, please?
Answer: You think it can be done about it. I have to say that I don't see a big solution other than some sort of mandatory. I know federal officials don't like to use that term. Once people feel empowered and protected legally, you are going to have schools, universities, and colleges are going to say, you want to come to this college, buddy? You're going to get vaccinated, lady. You're going to get vaccinated. Big corporations like Amazon and Facebook and all of those others are going to say, you want to work for us? You get vaccinated. And it's been proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit and they get vaccinated. Thank you.
Question: Are all objections to COVID vaccinations ideological bullshit, Doctor Fauci?
Answer: No, they're not. And that's not what I was referring to.
Question: Well, in reference to making it hard for people to get education, traveling, working, I'd say it very much was in context, and I take great offense to this. Miss Allison Williams testified before this committee about losing her job because she sought an exemption for ESPN's vaccine mandate, which came from recommendations from bureaucrats like yourself. She and her husband were actively working with a fertility expert, a physician, on how to get pregnant, and agreed with the premise that she was young, healthy, wanted to get pregnant, and shouldn't get the vaccination for medical purposes. But she was fired because you made it hard, just like you said in your statement, because you didn't want to make sure that the ideological bullshit got in the way of her working, of living her life, of making a medical decision with her healthcare professional. I think America should take great offense to this. That's exactly what you meant when you said making it hard for people to live without getting a vaccination. You affected people's ability to work, travel, be educated, to actually flourish in American society, to self-determine as we're all given God-given rights. Shame on you, Doctor Fauci. You've become doctor of fear. Americans do not hate science. I don't hate science. The American people hate having their freedoms taken from them. You inspired and created fear through mask mandates, school closures, vaccine mandates that have destroyed the American people's trust in our public health institutions. This fear you created will continue to have ripple effects over generations to come. You have already seen its effects in education, in the economy, and everything else, quite frankly.
