They were not “leaked”, the “keys to the kingdom” were posted as a (not-so) hidden tab, on an unsecure website on an unsecure server.
Hundreds of BIOS passwords.
Per system penetration experts, getting I to the system would be an exercise “for the JV team.”
Military security experts testified that the only solution to a compromised BIOS was to destroy the system because there was no way to tell what was done to it.
Jared sent an unknown team
To do unknown things
To unknown machines
In unknown places…
… and said the fix was in.

Philbert allowed Jena to investigate herself and democrats kept Colorado in blue bondage.

🚨 TABOR Update 🚨

Proposition NN will be on the ballot. This measure is designed to permanently curb TABOR refunds and fundamentally change the TABOR formula.

Luckily, the name gives you a hint of how to vote: NN means “NO NO”—NO to what could be the states biggest tax hike in history and NO to letting the legislature control their own spending limits. Learn more at @i2idotorg or https://t.co/vDKjRtCIXn.

A 20-year-old Japanese woman was stabbed in the chest and had her bag stolen by two foreigners in Osaka’s Abechika underground mall near Tennoji Station after leaving a bathroom.

John Thune is lying.

He needs 50 votes plus VP Vance to pass the Save America Act.

All he needs to do is force a “Talking Filibuster”.

No Senate rule changes.
No nuking the Filibuster.

He isn’t powerless.
He doesn’t need to find votes.

He needs to not be a traitor.

Truth.

No one has done more to help get the message out about ORES to the federal government than @johnrich.

I decided to start posting my content to X only one month ago. Within a week, Mr. Rich had seen and read what I posted and initiated a meeting. Having beaten energy company overreach before, it didn’t take him long to grasp what’s happening here in New York State.

Within a week, he engaged the federal government. There is much more to come.

I’m eternally grateful for him being a critical liaison for us here in Upstate NY. He was the final piece we needed to get this information into the right hands.

He is the perfect man for this job.

Desperate Democrats Try to Kill Popular Road-Funding Measure to Save Themselves at the Ballot Box 🚗💨

Colorado Democrats are officially panicking.

The grassroots "Restore Our Roads" coalition just rejected a weak legislative ultimatum to withdraw Initiative 175—a massively popular ballot measure ensuring transportation taxes actually go toward fixing our crumbling roads and bridges, instead of being funneled into progressive slush funds.

Why are Democrats pushing so hard to kill this? Because they know a common-sense, no-tax-increase infrastructure measure will bring conservatives and independents out to the polls in droves this November.

To bully backers into dropping the initiative, radical Democrats passed HB 1430—a petty "poison pill" bill designed to tank state revenue if voters dare to pass Initiative 175. They’re claiming it protects education and healthcare, but the truth is clear: they are terrified of a conservative voter turnout wave, and they're willing to hold Colorado’s roads hostage to stop it.

Kudos to Restore Our Roads for holding the line against political intimidation. Coloradans deserve a real choice at the pump and on the ballot! 🏔️🗳️

Andre Williams Says Black Communities Need to Stop Excusing Theft

Andre Williams: "Are we going to allow people in our community to steal and take from us? No, we shouldn't. Why do we have so many thieves in our community? Cause we give them a pass to steal. We encourage them to do so. We don't put the hammer down and say enough is enough. Cause like I said, at the end of the day, the businesses that lose the most. are black businesses."

🚨 THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CAUSE. THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT ELON MUSK.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin says Elon Musk should "butt out" because his comments are "creating tensions."

But many people are asking a different question:

Why are politicians more concerned about what is being said on X than the public anger that is erupting on the streets?

Attacking Elon Musk is easier than addressing the policies that have brought Ireland and Northern Ireland to this point.

That's why the debate is becoming increasingly difficult for the establishment to control.

I've been diagnosed with PTSD myself, so I don't say this lightly. Graham Platner using his diagnosis to excuse the things he's done is an insult to every veteran who carries the same weight and never used it as cover. I don't know one veteran who has acted the way he has.

America cannot face the same fate as Europe when it comes to mass migration.

We gain nothing from mass third-world migration.

All they do is bring their destructive cultures to our country

They refuse to assimilate. they hate our country, they murder our people and we are forced to pay for it all with our tax dollars.

Trump stopped the flow of illegals at the border now it's time to repeal Hart-Celler.

We will not be invaded.

OpenAI is gaslighting you

[Sean Paige @SeanPaige]

Don't get caught using the phrase "ballot box biology" around CSU social scientist Becky Niemiec, #copolitics. She's @GovofCO's newest pick to serve on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission. And using that phrase marks you as an arrogant and cruel "dominationist" bent on exploiting animals for selfish personal gain, according to Becky. And that, to her, is a no-no.

You've also been the victim of brainwashing, according to Niemiec. And you're probably guilty of spreading misinformation on wildlife management issues.

She favors creation of a national thought-correction campaign, aimed at countering all of you out there who use the phrase "ballot box biology" in a negative way.

Niemiec, in her May 2026 blog post and related research, argues that the phrase “ballot box biology” is a powerful but misleading rhetorical weapon. She and her collaborators claim this catchy slogan unfairly sways voters against carnivore protection initiatives, by portraying them as unscientific meddling by an uninformed public. In her view, traditional wildlife management is not driven by neutral expertise, but has long been controlled by hunting, ranching, and “domination-oriented” stakeholders. Ballot initiatives, she says, offer a legitimate way for broader public values -- such as “mutualism,” which emphasizes coexistence with wildlife -- to shape policy. She has advocated for a national counter-campaign by anti-hunting and predator protection groups to help neutralize the phrase, inoculate the public against its spread, expose the political nature of many commissions, and push for more "inclusive" attitudes toward wildlife management.

Niemiec rejects the possibility that the growing skepticism toward ballot-driven wildlife decisions in Colorado is rooted less in slick slogans and more in hard realities, especially the unfolding results of Prop. 114, the 2020 wolf reintroduction measure.

Passed narrowly at 50.9%, the initiative promised a science-based program with annual costs around $800k. Instead, expenditures have ballooned well beyond projections, with recent years seeing millions spent. Livestock depredation payouts have topped $1.3 million, creating huge ongoing burdens for ranching communities (and taxpayers). This debacle highlights the very real pitfalls of ballot box biology. And recent public opinion polls detect a shift toward realism. A March 2026 survey found about 50% of likely voters now support suspending the program, down from stronger earlier backing, with firm opposition especially strong on the Western Slope. This suggests many Coloradans are reacting to observable costs, conflicts, animal cruelty, and implementation struggles, not mere propaganda.

Questioning whether bypassing expert agencies via the ballot delivers better results is a pragmatic response, not knee-jerk anti-wolf bias.

Colorado’s wolf program stands as a real-time test of ballot box biology in action. And it's failing the test. Real world results are what's giving ballot box biology a bad name.

Polis’s appointment of Niemiec to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission raises serious concerns. Her writings display a dismissive tone toward rewilding skeptics, even though skepticism is warranted. She appears tone-deaf to the legitimate, evidence-based worries of rural Coloradans, hunters, ranchers, and others who prioritize workable outcomes over social science claptrap. This clear ideological bias against critics of ballot box biology makes her poorly suited for a commission role that demands impartial balancing of all stakeholders across the state’s diverse regions and economies. Appointing someone predisposed against a major segment of the public risks tilting decisions and further undermining trust in the process. Polis ought to nix this pick, stop trying to radicalize the commission, and go back to the drawing board, again, in search of a better nominee.

Would @FGMarlonReis like to weigh-in on this?

These charges surround five murders and 19 attempted murders, trafficking of dozens of kilograms of drugs, extortion, kidnapping, and robbery.

So the Sudanese invader who tried to behead the man in Belfast was a former police man from a prominent family.

How was he able to move freely through Europe?

So many questions.

Karmelo showed no remorse until he was actually sentenced and realized he was going to be held accountable for his actions.

For most of the proceedings, he sat with a blank stare and showed little visible emotion. The absence of any remorse was impossible to miss.

This now makes sense as we watch his parents conduct a media tour, crying and claiming that Karmelo was unjustly convicted.

His parents lied to him. They convinced him that his actions were justified and that he would walk away from this as a hero.

Instead, he learned the hard way that actions have consequences.
