It's identity politics for conservatives, plain and simple

Just like BLM, there is a sacred group above criticism , anyone who does not follow the double standard is cancelled

What is remarkable is that China regards LLMs as a side quest and was still able to beat the US, which regards them as nec plus ultra

Who remembers when @FBIDirectorKash perjured himself before his Senate confirmation committee, claiming he didn't know who @realstewpeters is ... even though he'd appeared on Peters' show EIGHT times?

Who remembers when @dbongino told @RepThomasMassie that he'd "personally write the check" for a particular former Capitol Police officer's lawsuit against me?

Did you know that @Kash_Patel told Stew Peters that his organization, "Fight With Kash," would fund defamation lawsuits - even for Democrats - against members of the media?

Things that make you go ....... Hmmmmmm.🤔

BREAKING: A North Carolina public school district just REJECTED this child's senior parking spot design because it's an American flag.

The school district said they can't promote "a particular religion, political viewpoint, or patriotic message."

Several days ago, I received a threatening letter informing me that I am "moving up on 'the List," and that I am "fucked."

The letter calls me a "kapo," indicating its authorship by a Zionist fanatic, possibly affiliated with an outfit like JDL Brotherhood 613, or from Betar dead-enders who advocate violence against perceived enemies of Israel.

I opened this letter as Israel-backed Trump admin allies like Laura Loomer portrayed me as a national security threat and demanded my persecution for reporting from Iran, and as the Trump admin harassed me by illegally seizing my phones.

I am not the only person to have received these letters. Howard Heath, a state representative in New Hampshire who is campaigning for Congress on a pledge to cut off military aid to Israel, also reported receiving a letter from the same "Yoor Dedmeet."

The return address applied to the letter is the field office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress. To me, this indicates that she and her staff could also be targets of whichever malicious individual or group sent the letter.

I have filed a report with local police and informed the US Postal Service Inspector of this threatening letter.

Pat Buchanan was right about everything.

Mass migration is nation ending.

We see the effects today, but in just a generation or two, these new foreign cultures will completely change the fabric of our nation and destroy all that used to hold us together.

Arkansas CF Maika Niu signs an UDFA deal with the New York Yankees. That’s a whole lot of athleticism acquired outside of the Draft.

In 1921, Anna Brown was found in a ravine in Osage County, Oklahoma, with a bullet in the back of her head.

The local authorities called it a whiskey death. No autopsy worth the name, no real investigation. Anna was Osage, and she was rich.

That was the problem.

A generation earlier, the Osage had been pushed onto what looked like worthless rocky land in northeastern Oklahoma. Then the oil came in. By the 1920s, the Osage were, per capita, the wealthiest people on earth. Every enrolled tribal member held a headright, a share of the mineral wealth pumped out of the ground beneath their feet. Some families made the modern equivalent of millions a year.

Congress, uneasy at the sight of Native people with that kind of money, passed a law in 1921 requiring many Osage to have court-appointed white guardians manage their finances. The guardians took cuts. Merchants charged them triple. And headrights, by law, could only pass through inheritance.

That last detail is what got people killed.

Anna Brown's mother, Lizzie, died two months later. Her cousin Henry Roan was shot in his car. Her sister Rita and Rita's husband were blown apart in their bed when someone planted a bomb under their house. Rita's white servant died with them.

At the center of it sat a cattleman named William Hale, the self-styled King of the Osage Hills. Hale had spent years cultivating an image as a friend to the tribe. He was also arranging marriages, murders, and inheritances with the patience of an accountant. His nephew Ernest Burkhart married Mollie Kyle, Anna's surviving sister. One by one, Mollie's family was killed off, and the headrights flowed toward Ernest, and through him, toward Hale.

Mollie herself was slowly being poisoned by her own doctors, insulin laced with something else, while she buried her mother and her sisters.

Local law wouldn't touch it. Private investigators turned up dead. Witnesses recanted or disappeared. So in 1923 the Osage Tribal Council asked Washington for help.

The case landed on the desk of a young J. Edgar Hoover at the newly reorganized Bureau of Investigation. He sent a former Texas Ranger named Tom White, who put agents undercover as cattle buyers, insurance salesmen, and drifters. It took two years to build the case. Hale and Burkhart went to prison. Mollie survived, divorced Ernest, and lived until 1937.

The official count was 24 murders. Historians now estimate the real number was over 60, possibly into the hundreds, spread across what the Osage came to call the Reign of Terror.

Most of the killers were never charged. The headrights they stole still pay out today, some of them to the descendants of the men who did the killing.

Just learned some wonderful financial trivia: the USSR defaulted on imperial Russian bonds in 1918, but the bonds kept trading. When Stalin died, they rallied from 3 to 5¼.

@Rep_Stansbury You came to congress to larp as an important/inteligent individual and vote how the democrat party tells you to vote. The violence must stop? Has this person read a history book?

Lindsey Graham lived his life in service and devotion to Israel, and absolutely deserves this tribute from the Knesset for his lifetime of work and sacrifice for them.
