@MarioNawfal The “if true” is doing some heavy lifting there

[Patrick Fanelli @PatFanelli]

@JonathanTurley When I graduated from the law school 26 yrs ago, Penn State took pride in the fact that many professors were adjuncts, practicing attorneys who taught as experts in their fields. Legal education was focused on practical preparation for the practice of law.

Times have changed.

Under the US constitution, you can own a rock and stick, which have been used to beat enemies to death since the earth was created 6,000 years ago. Scary!

In a plot twist, the dems ask the court they say is illegitimate to rule against the other court they say is illegitmate.

@PeteButtigieg wait - you think eliminating the electoral college would get Utah MORE attention in presidential politics??
🤦‍♂️

[Patrick Fanelli @PatFanelli]

@JillFilipovic A better solution (as shared w me from an older married friend, when I got engaged): don't buy the lie that marriage is a 50/50 deal. Aim to give 100%, and if you're not prepared to do that, then don't marry her.

[Patrick Fanelli @PatFanelli]

You think a cold school night in April for a .533 team, on the same night the Pens are playing an elimination game in the playoffs, fits the definition of "started to win and became more exciting" enough to draw more of a crowd than this?

[Mike J. Asti @MikeAsti11]

But I was told people would fill PNC Park for every game if the Pirates started to win and became more exciting….

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive figures in American politics today. So many of our divisions were caused by the smug, demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents.

Here, he pretends to not know the truth about the would-be assassin, although the facts of his left wing views were public hours before Obama’s tweet. It’s classic Obama - pretend to be conciliatory while he is the one who creates the divide.

You would hope that Obama would condemn the left after the left tries to kill a President.

But that’s too much to ask.

Once again, Obama proves himself to be a classless divider of our country.

“When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group.”

[Will Ricciardella @WillRicci]

The WHCA alleged shooter wasn’t some nut job lurking on the fringes of society, forgotten by the system.

He was well-educated, credentialed, employed, and institutionally formed. That’s what makes this so disturbing.

At first glance, this doesn’t look like a breakdown of the system, it looks more like a product of it.

Academia, media, and politics helped build the moral permission structure.

Let that sink in.

[Patrick Fanelli @PatFanelli]

@KirstenGrind @susannecraig Imagine writing a tweet like this and thinking it reflects some clever gotcha.

And somehow the actual headline on the story is even worse.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

The SPLC has added Turning Point to their ridiculous “hate group” list, right next to the KKK and neo-Nazis, a cheap smear from a washed-up org that’s been fleecing scared grandmas for decades. They somehow still rake in over $100 million a year peddling their “hate map” nonsense, sitting pretty in their Montgomery “Poverty Palace” while crying about “hate” to line their pockets. Even former staffers called their racket a “con.”

Their game plan? Scare financial institutions into debanking us, pressure schools to cancel us, and demonize us so some unhinged lunatic feels justified targeting us. Remember the Family Research Council? An SPLC-inspired gunman went after them. They’d love nothing more than to see TPUSA in the crosshairs.

But it’s 2025, and nobody with a functioning brain buys their garbage anymore. The SPLC is a laughingstock, a hollowed-out husk of an organization that’s been exposed as a grift time and time again. They’re not just irrelevant—they’re a cautionary tale of how to torch your own credibility. Maybe someone should take a hard look at where all that “nonprofit” money’s really going?

Being on their list is a badge of honor. It means they’re terrified that we’re so effective. Keep crying, SPLC—America’s done with your scam.

If I had seen a storyline like this in House of Cards I would have thought it was too cynical or far fetched to be realistic.

Yet here we are….

[U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept]

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Justice Department announces indictment against Southern Poverty Law Center ("SPLC"). Our indictment alleges SPLC secretly funneled MORE THAN $3 MILLION in funds to members of white supremacist and extremist groups.

@TheJusticeDept Charlie was right about literally everything.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo

"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."

"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"

"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."

"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"

"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."

"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

Mic drop.
