Anyone still defending this system is a joke.
No other nation in the world does this. Even if you think there’s zero fraud, this absolutely causes distrust in our elections.
Five and a half years later—with new revelations related to what happened before and on January 6—the regime media absolutely refuses to consider that the Biden DOJ/Wray FBI abused their power to investigate, prosecute, and help convict more than 1,000 Americans for their participation in the protest that day.
Welker, like all other “journalists” and reporters of her ilk, actually think the unprecedented number of plea deals is the result of legitimate prosecutions rather than abuse of authority—particularly threats to turn misdemeanor cases into felonies—to extract plea deals.
They don’t entertain for a SECOND that perhaps something is off with a 100 PERCENT CONVICTION RATE before DC juries. Or question how the Biden DOJ got away with for years bringing the felony 1512c2 charge against 300+ J6ers (and the president) before SCOTUS determined the statute had been unlawfully applied.
The single minded focus on those charged/convicted of “assault” on police—when the 18 USC 111 statute also applies to “interfering” or “impeding” federal officers—allows the media to ignore the hundreds of other low level misdemeanor cases that nonetheless resulted in torturous investigations and prosecutions, rigged trials, and time in federal prison.
Corporate media is as responsible as the Biden DOJ, J6 committee, and federal judges in continuing to perpetuate lies about J6 and intentionally misleading the public about what happened in the largest criminal investigation in US history. Good for the president for pushing back and for his justified anger here:
Give me a break. I worked at Viacom/CBS (now Paramount) for over a decade. Of course, it was +90% Democrats.
Everyone knows this. Everyone.
And newsrooms in particular vote Democrat to a higher degree than Berkeley, California.
And you know what? Fine. I have lots of friends with whom I disagree from my time there. It was a great place, actually.
To act as if this claim about bias is controversial, let alone inaccurate, shows that he’s either a liar, an imbecile, or so deeply incurious and tunnel-visioned that you don’t belong anywhere near any job involving information discernment.
But he’s got that familiar anchor voice, so we’re supposed to act like he’s not being a complete clown. Give me a break. You people are a mess.
I just did the math - If the percentage of the remaining 200K votes yet to be tallied continues to split the same way for the top 3 candidates in the L.A. Mayors race, @nithyavraman will beat out @spencerpratt by roughly 12 - 15,000 votes.

Who picked Platner and why?
Who flipped the switch on Swalwell and why?
How did Kamala get the 2024 nomination?
These questions are all way more interesting than the candidates themselves and the legacy press has no curiosity or interest in providing the answers.
Many people aren't processing what this means.
Our two largest cities will be run by communists.
This is, by every objective measure, a very bad thing.
There's clearly voter harvesting that occurred. I guess its legal, but it's still sketch IMO. This happens every single time. Late votes are always for the progressive or socialist candidates, here in SF too.
Thank you to the voters of the 6th District. And congratulations to former state lawmaker Richard Pan on advancing. This will be a choice between the extreme partisan policies that have made California the most unaffordable state in the country, and the independent leadership that allows our local communities to thrive in spite of the state’s failures.
To gain permission to use Darth Vader for The Indian in the Cupboard (1995), the director simply called George Lucas and asked. The director was Frank Oz, the puppeteer and voice of Yoda.
Also totally forgot Steve Coogan was in this; his first Hollywood film appearance.
I organized an intervention to stop Elon from starting SpaceX. Here is the story...
Twenty five years ago, Elon and I sat in a car on a dark stretch of Long Island highway, two neurodiverse geeks staring at the night sky and wondering what came next. We had both experienced substantial exits and felt the weight of possibility ahead of us.
When I joked about 'space' while gazing upward, neither of us imagined we were planting the seed for what would become the largest IPO in history. We spent the next two hours debating why space was so hard. In the end, rockets are fuel and metal. We also debated where to go, and it was crystal clear that Mars was the only real destination.
Upon returning to NYC, we embarked on a global tour of space, meeting space agencies and luminaries worldwide. This opened our eyes to an industry stuck in bureaucratic thinking. If things continued at that pace, it was clear that we would never explore space in our lifetime.
So, we launched Life to Mars to show the world that two ambitious young men (29 and 30 years old), could send life to Mars without any government backing or support. We planned to send and grow plants on Mars, though some were pushing us to send mice.
We had a $50 MM budget that rested on our purchase of two Russian ICBMs for $7 MM each. We assumed one ICBM would fail, and we would learn and fix everything before launching again. When Elon went back to actually buy the ICBMs, the Russians tripled the price, bringing out launch costs from a total of $14 MM to $42 MM.
Our ambitious Life to Mars plan was no longer viable.
As you might imagine, Elon was not pleased. So, he decided to start SpaceX and create his own Mars rockets. Now, this is a crazy idea, both now and at the time, so I organized a large panel of top space experts, and we ambushed him at the Georgian Hotel one morning. It was set up like an intervention for an alcoholic, but for space.
Elon looked me in the eye when leaving the room and said, "I am going to do this." The intervention failed. Elon was committed. The rest is history.
I am excited to see this IPO after 25 years of hard work. What SpaceX has done is a testament to human will and overcoming insurmountable obstacles. It's nothing short of amazing.
Congratulations, E. Amazing.
The new direction of our Homeless Policy and National Drug Strategy is everything I've been fighting for since I got sober. Accountability. Compassion. Recovery. Together, we will save and transform lives. Recovery is a gift. #gratitude
That was a short-term loan when I ran out of money in 2008. He did not receive any equity for it.
Antonio’s ownership stems from absolute support, even when it looked like SpaceX would fail, and many investments over 2 decades.
One could not ask for a better friend. He is a great man.
One of my biggest regrets in life is not spending more time talking to my grandfather's generation. To a man, they all served in WWII, mostly in the Pacific (maybe because they were Jewish). My Uncle Joe wore leg braces from injuries at Guadalcanal. Lost history.
Out of 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII, only about 40,000 are still alive.
They’re dying at a rate of ~100 per day.
These are the heroes who saved the world from tyranny.
Find one. Thank one. Listen to their stories.
While you still can.
The heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight against tyranny must never be forgotten.
Generations have enjoyed freedom thanks to those in uniform and all who helped.
On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, and always, we continue to remember and honor their legacies. 🇺🇸
