I am working toward becoming a caricature of myself.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

The dog. What is going on with that dog?

Anna Nicole Smith with her ex-husband and son, 1986

While working at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken in Mexia, Smith met Billy Wayne Smith, a cook at the restaurant, and the couple married on April 4, 1985, when he was 16 and she was 17. She gave birth to their son, Daniel Wayne Smith, on January 22, 1986. Smith and her husband separated the following year and divorced in 1993.

This was doomed to fail from the start...16 and 17 years old and a new born

@HQNewsNow Jesus, in the book does he also reference the wisdom of tortured artist R Kelly or of New York City financier Jeffery Epstein?

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

I was just thinking a few days how absolutely pleasant it has been that I haven’t been seeing much from @StephenM lately. Damn you for messing that up for me, @USSupremeCourt.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

I wouldn’t mind it if they still had arcade games in movie theater lobbies.

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

Y’all acting like you’ve never seen an octogenarian drug addict blow 16M on Reflecting Pool reno cause he gave a no bid gov’t contract to a guy who looks like he sold quaaludes to The Riddler & then blame the algae bloom on a 350 ft boxcutter attack by underwater Antifa before?

This changes EVERYTHING.

Muffins spelled backwards is what you do when you take them out of the oven.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

Okay. Dumocrat is bad enough, but Os(jerk!)off is just absolutely pathetic - unimaginative, clunky, and stupid. The man’s nickname game has clearly been getting weaker and weaker for some time. Are we able to have a serious discussion about the 25th Amendment now?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump refers to Jon Ossoff as "a pathetic failed Dumocrat Senator, Os(jerk!)off"

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

@KBAndersen Agree. I am at the beach and re-reading it today, sir.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

Very interesting seeing the reaction to the Latter Day Saints falling into the “not the right kind of Christian” category according to the US Government.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

@RightWingDad Can you?

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

We are all just floating toys in a crazy man’s bathtub right now.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

@RepOgles What a bigoted asshole!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

How on earth did I not know of this before today?

[belli, sporchi e cattivi @ehibiondolosai]

"L'umanoide" (Aldo Lado, 1979). Never forget la gloriosa risposta italiana a "Guerre stellari" con musiche di Morricone ed effetti speciali di Margheriti. Nel cast, Barbara Bach, Arthur Kennedy e Ivan Rassimov nei panni di Lord Graal che Darth Vader può solo prendere appunti.🫡

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

@ItsDeanBlundell @MeghanMcCain Damn.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

@bluestein Say what you will about the American Left losing its mind, but damn if the Right hasn’t completely lost its humanity.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

Marco Rubio is going to be the governor of Cuba.

[Gerald Importante @jonmc50]

This just in: High-ranking member of the douchiest administration in American history acts like douchebag.

ABD Dışişleri Bakanı Marco Rubio, Çin seyahatine Maduro’nun gözaltına alındığı eşofman kombiniyle gitti.

Bunlar resmen dünya ile dalga geçiyor...

@RightWingWatch What an asshole!
