Jon Lester the legend, sitting in the crowd wearing CUBS gear.

Against the Boston Red Sox.

Yeah, it’s different here.

Jon Lester got a standing ovation at Wrigley Field 👏

😂😂😂 just end the MLB season already

[Jed Fontaínè @JedFontaine]

The Dodgers and Pirates are currently discussing a potential framework for a trade involving Superstar pitcher Paul Skenes, sources tell me.

The trade deadline is tomorrow, but there is optimism a deal could get done before then.

[David Decosimo @DavidDecosimo]

The conceit that people in the past were all dumb, gullible rubes to whom we are obviously & profoundly intellectually superior is a defining feature of our own era. It keeps us from grappling in a real way with deep questions about the nature of reality, esp. regarding religion.

What’s the definition of insanity again?

“Christian Zionists” are gravely mistaken. I’m not going to even get into the evil things “Netanyahu” has said & done…

**If you believe the Bible is God’s Word** the New Testament scriptures are abundantly clear that Christ’s church is no longer bound to 1 nation. Read Romans

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

Benjamin Netanyahu tells Christian Zionists in America that his bloodline comes directly from the original Hebrews in Jerusalem.

He says his bloodline provided the world with freedom and faith and is now under attack by antisemites.

Netanyahu wants Christian Zionists to "fight, fight, fight" against the antisemites.

"Attack back. That's all."

When the Netflix doc about covid drops in 20 years, our kids are going to watch it the way we watched footage of doctors recommending cigarettes. Absolutely dumbfounded that anyone could be so stupid and went along with any of it.

It’s going to be the most humiliating three hours of television ever made and every single one of us is going to be in it.

The only country a Senator should be talking about daily, is their own. Adelson is a prime example of the “Billionaire Class” that runs much of international politics

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

GOP megadonor and dual citizen Miriam Adelson pays tribute to Lindsey Graham and tells the story of how she purchased him.

She says she and her late billionaire husband, Sheldon, "fell in love with" Graham, and that he and Sheldon's daily communication "continued for years."

"We met him in approximately 1990. There was a mission of AIPAC. We took freshman Republican congressmen on paid trips to Israel."

"Every day, there was not a day that Sheldon didn't talk with Lindsey."

"They talked about Israel… Sheldon gave him advice."

Starbucks employees expose that Starbucks is using “blending powder” in many of their newer drinks

This new powder was just introduced this month. If you drink Starbucks you should be concerned about this

This “blending powder” consists of Gum arabic, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, natural flavor, silica and stevia extract (rebaudioside-A)

The reason they use it is because it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer

The gums and other components create a smoother, more consistent frozen blended texture and slows separation that would otherwise happen soon after the drink leaves the blender

Starbucks employees have been making videos saying it makes their throats hurt, makes them cough and makes their head hurt

The silica is silicon dioxide and acts as an anti-caking agent. This is a very controversial ingredient for health concerns

But it’s also a concern for these Starbucks employees because inhaling it is dangerous

Fine silica dust can become airborne when the powder is scooped. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of certain forms of silica is linked to serious lung conditions like silicosis

This should not be put in drinks we consume

Our food is a science experiment

‘Starbucks Workers United and individual baristas have publicly raised concerns since the powder’s introduction around mid-July 2026. Reports include the powder becoming airborne easily, along with some partners mentioning symptoms like sore throats, coughing, or chest irritation’

The Fauci journal is special. Just him talking about how famous he is and how much he loves it.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

This mindset is outrageously dangerous, yet it’s exactly what the Israeli lobby and its supporters in the U.S. want—a mindless war to “destroy the Iranian regime”, no matter how many Americans have to die.

They have no actual plan or strategy to accomplish this because the majority of them have never served.

They know others will have to bleed & die for their delusions—and despite the insincere and fake-virtuous talking points they spew, they’re ok with that so long as it’s not them or their own children coming home in flag-draped caskets.

The Israelis know they can’t fight this war without the U.S., so their goal is to get us on board with more strikes, ground troops, etc., in the hopes that American causalities will sway public opinion enough to escalate into a chaotic, drawn-out war.

Our only viable option is to leave now—President Trump should use this pause in fighting to get our troops out & use quiet economic diplomacy to reopen the SOH & BAM.

Trump: If I wasn't elected, Israel would, in my opinion, not be around anymore

[Libertarian Party @LPNational]

This is not law yet. Call both your senators. Tell them to strip Section 219 from the NDAA and vote no on a $1.15 trillion blank check.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Most Americans can't stand Israel and don't want to finance it. The numbers are only get worse for Tel Aviv with each passing month.

And that's true globally as well. Israel is a pariah state. It remains popular only in DC and in various elite enclaves:

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

Obviously this little freak could go volunteer to fight the war himself, but of course he won’t. He’s got no interest in making any kind of personal sacrifice. None of them do. Israel’s finance minister bragged the other day that having American soldiers fight Netanyahu’s wars “is the best for us.” Smotrich doesn’t want to die for Israel. Neither does Ben Shapiro. Dying for Israel is your job. You’ve got to wonder how people like this — liars without honor, wisdom or loyalty to the United States — wound up in positions of such profound influence throughout our society. How did Mark Levin get the president’s cell phone number? Why is Adm. Brad Cooper, the man in charge of the Iran war, secretly taking strategic advice from crazed Israel shill Mark Dubowitz? It’s all so nuts, and ultimately suicidal. Future generations will struggle to understand it. In the meantime, Trump will likely obey Ben Shapiro, as he has consistently for months. We can predict the results, because every neocon “victory” is identical: huge numbers of innocent people killed, disproportionately Christians, economic destruction, famine, mass migration and deepening authoritarianism at home. That’s what they’re demanding because that’s what they want. What can we do to stop it? Apparently not much. But we can remember what happened and why, so that history records the truth. Otherwise, when the war ends in disaster, as it inevitably will, Ben Shapiro will be able to blame you for it.

I wish we could bulldoze all of river north and put the Bears stadium here. This neighborhood stinks

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

While Americans are focused on other things, like how to make ends meet in the face of a rapidly rising cost of living, tomorrow the House will vote to merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s. Our Founder’s would be appalled at what Congress is doing now.

@jammles9 The SAVE ACT fight is fake, always was.

It’s designed to make you furious.

There is no plan to pass it.

Republican politicians are playing you.

It’s designed to distract you from increased debt, war, inflation, and further usurpations of your rights.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

REPUBLICANS HAVE NO INTENTION OF PASSING THE SAVE ACT.

Voter ID polls well, so GOP is using Democrat intransigence to score political points. That’s it.

This week we vote on a CR to fund government thru DECEMBER which means the plan to attach SAVE to an approps bill is a bust.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

I’m praying for the families and friends of those two fallen soldiers and for the third missing soldier. 🙏

This should not be happening.

President Trump needs to bring our troops home and stop this senseless America LAST war!!!
