If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

Mount Rushmore Sings Message to Donald Trump! BRILLIANT!

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Bingo. The far left & far right both come to the conclusion that America is irredeemable in one way or another--for what it was or for what it's becoming. Both think the system needs to be discarded and both are wrong. Never perfect, sometimes a step back, but always fixable. 🇺🇸

[Andrew Shepherd @bigoldoak]

@BrandonStraka He’s a good bullshitter. He can’t disagree with Trump so has to complain about a rigged election, but he doesn’t want to outright lie on camera here either.

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

For criticizing him, Trump opened an investigation into me for “treason.”

I’m not scared by that feckless thug. I’ve decided to call out his corruption louder than ever.

See you at the movies, Mr. President. No need to buy a ticket. We’re making this free for everyone.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

All true, but Trump is the president, by the way. So it’s his plan and Vance is his VP with no constitutional powers. Vance is an amoral ignoramus, yes, but don’t play "good tsar, bad boyars" when it’s Trump's ignorance and vanity that created this catastrophe.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

@realDonaldTrump Hahahaha

Researchers at Stanford University have elucidated a mechanism behind the occurrence of myocarditis following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, particularly in young males.

Analysis of blood samples from vaccinated individuals revealed elevated levels of two cytokines—CXCL10 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)—in those who developed post-vaccination myocarditis.

These signaling proteins initiate a two-step inflammatory cascade: CXCL10, primarily produced by macrophages in response to the vaccine, recruits T cells that release IFN-γ, which in turn attracts aggressive immune cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages) to the heart, leading to tissue damage.

In preclinical models (including mice and human cardiac tissue), neutralizing CXCL10 and IFN-γ significantly reduced cardiac injury and immune cell infiltration without impairing the vaccine's overall immunogenicity.

Additionally, pretreatment with genistein—a soy-derived anti-inflammatory compound—attenuated the cytokine surge and mitigated heart damage in these models.

Vaccine-associated myocarditis typically presents with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and palpitations shortly after the second dose and remains exceedingly rare.

Importantly, SARS-CoV-2 infection itself poses a substantially higher risk of myocarditis—along with severe multisystem complications—reinforcing that the benefits of mRNA vaccination far exceed the risks.

Statistics report 1 case of myocarditis in 9,000–25,000 doses for the highest-risk groups, adolescent and young adult males, particularly after the second dose. Rates were much lower in females, older adults, and after first or booster doses. For context, myocarditis risk from actual COVID-19 infection was substantially higher—often 10 times or more in comparable age groups.

@elonmusk And we can prove it now, right? But we couldn’t before?

[Andrew Shepherd @bigoldoak]

@DNIGabbard If you have a smoking gun that shows Fauci funded actual gain of function research that directly caused the creation of Covid, that would be newsworthy. Why are you releasing this on the last day of your job after being cut out of your own position since Trump attacked Iran?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

There is literally zero evidence to what you’re accusing me of. But just like Trump everything with you people is either projection or confession. You are all so predictable. Show dozens of pictures of Trump and Epstein together over decades, teen beauty pageants, the misogyny and sexism from his own mouth, the accusations from dozens of women and girls, FBI interviews, court cases, his own sworn testimony, and on and on and your response is: The Biden’s are pedophiles. It’s so completely mindless and stupid and sophomoric that it makes me wonder if they literally have brainwashed you people. Wake the fuck up Nacho. Whose interets do you think you’re protecting? Because I promise you they don’t give a shit about you.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

When this war is over, and Ukraine is victorious and whole again, and every innocent victim, every fallen defender, every destroyed city and town is documented, let no one say they did not know. These Russian crimes against humanity are happening in full view in real time.
