If what Dan Bongino told Tucker Carlson is true, then Thomas Matthew Crooks was a sacrificial dupe that Trump intentionally had murdered to help him win a presidential election and stay out of prison.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed Trump could "crack" under pressure and described him as "evil beyond belief" and "nuts" when feeling cornered.

@GavinNewsom This is how he operates. He is ONLY concerned about enriching his bank accounts. "Serving the people" was actually not part of his plan. Get rich, exact revenge on people he believes have wronged him and stay out of prison was. You were warned America. You just didn't listen.

“Hungary is a lesson for Americans” - Timothy Snyder

Is change possible even when the system feels rigged?
Professor Timothy Snyder argues that Hungary's recent political shift offers a crucial lesson for everyone.

If democracy can be reclaimed in a country where it seemed 'hopeless’, it is possible anywhere, including in the U.S.

Watch this brief but profound perspective on why standing up for democracy matters.

"Well, I think they're two very different cases because however one evaluates the Bulgarian one, we don't know how significant it will be, whereas Orbán isn't just a person or a government. Orbán was an entire system.
Orbán was an example of how to build an authoritarian state from a democracy. Orbán was an example of how you exploit the European Union from the inside in order to build an oligarchy in your own country, and meanwhile make it harder for the European Union to implement any kind of sensible policy, and Orbán was, also, the center of an international network, an international far-right oligarchical network, in which Russian money was laundered by way of Budapest into Western institutions, including American institutions, American political action committees, American think tanks, and so Orbán's defeat, I would say, is extremely consequential.

It has immediate consequences for Russia, for Ukraine, and, on the other side, it sets a positive example, right?

Because Hungary is exactly the situation that you were talking about in the beginning, where you could say, 'Well, everything is hopeless. The government controls mass media. The government never seems to lose an election. This guy's been in power forever. He seems to know all the tricks. The elections are going to be unfair,' which they were.

So, if you look at Hungary, from that perspective, it's very possible to be hopeless. But nevertheless, the Hungarian opposition, not only won, they won a huge victory, enough to build a constitutional majority and change the fundamental direction of the country. And so, that's a lesson for Americans and for everyone else. If this sort of thing is possible in Hungary, it's certainly possible in other places."

The US DTRA Biological Threat Reduction Program has openly funded lab upgrades in Ukraine (and ~30+ countries) since 2005 to secure Soviet-era pathogens for diagnostics and biosafety — ~$200M, Ukrainian-run facilities, no US bioweapons labs. Official DoD fact sheets confirm this for years.

Russia heavily promoted the “secret US bioweapons labs” version as disinfo to justify its invasion.

Gabbard’s June 2026 slides confirm the funding exists (120+ labs total) and flag risks/GOF concerns, backing Trump’s EO to end dangerous gain-of-function work. But as Laura Loomer documented with comparisons, several slides recycle graphics and contractor docs previously released by Russian sources, plus an AI-generated map with clear errors. That undercuts the “new US intel” framing.

No lab closures or prosecutions announced. Focus is more transparency and oversight. The core funding is real; the weaponization narrative was the disinfo layer.

@Favwontmiss My life experience has been realizing that some people don’t respect you until you say “absolutely not” with the confidence of a customer returning a sandwich they didn’t order. Apparently being considerate is negotiable, but having boundaries is a premium feature.

Others can take or leave you. You're done contorting yourself to try to fit anyone's "mold" of what acceptable, or attractive, or compliant, or, or, or, "should" be.

And, yes, that idea, of being authentic & direct at all costs, can be terrifying. Freedom often is-- at first.

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

@MrsErikaKirk Finding time for ourselves and a sense of normalcy with family (outside of work and responsibility) and just wanting to feel human when we are in our grieving process is really important. Nothing at all wrong with that... that's a good thing. 🙏🏽

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

A reality check for trauma survivors working our recovery is, we absolutely have to give up the fantasy that others will understand why we need to recover or what we need to do to stay safe & stable every day.

They won't understand-- & that's fine. Not our business or problem.
