As a general rule, anytime Barack Obama lectures the country or its people on their purported sins—with Khalil Gibran pop platitudes—he is seeking absolution for his own obsessions by projecting his own guilty desires onto others.

The latest? At the dedication of his narcissistic Obama Presidential Center in Chicago—a $850 million flak-tower, monolithic boondoggle mired in debt—Obama lectured us on the need to resist the allure off "money, attention, [and] fame."

Thus spoke the owner of four homes, three of them multimillion-dollar mansions, whose last inert year in office was spent closing book and Netflix deals that ensured he would become a multimillionaire the moment he left office, and on spec, jets private to sermonize to various audiences–often at $400,000 a shot—on their own false-consciousness shortcomings.

Plain-speaking, frugal Harry Truman in obscure retirement in Independence, Missouri Obama certainly is not.

It could be worse.

He could have introduced the President.

It was always an awkward moment when someone needed the red bat.

“Yeah, Billy, you can play but you gotta use the red bat.”

“But I wanna use the yellow bat like everybody else.”

“Motherfucker, you went 0-for-46 yesterday. The yellow bat is no longer an option for you.”

Man, you could practically hear the collective groan in every newsroom across America.

For about 12 glorious hours, the San Diego mosque shooting was absolute catnip for cable news. Two teenage white boys attack a mosque, three innocent people dead ... the “right-wing domestic terrorism” script wrote itself. Chyrons blazing, panels booked, every anti-MAGA hack already sharpening their knives.

Then the manifesto dropped.

And everything went dead quiet.

Turns out Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez weren’t exactly card-carrying conservatives. These two pathetic Jew-obsessed incel weirdos titled their murder diary “Sons of Tarrant” and filled it with deranged pages of “IT’S THE JEWS” on endless repeat. They weren’t right-wing, weren’t MAGA, weren’t Trump fans ... nah, they proudly called themselves Third Positionists who worshipped Nationalist Socialism and Eco Fascism.

One was autistic and marinating in online poison. The other got force-fed mandatory “ethnic studies” classes that spent the first two weeks hammering “whiteness” and “white privilege” until he started hating himself and his own mixed-race family.

Oh, and the system had been warned for over a year: FBI knew about Vazquez, 5150 psych hold, gun seizure attempt, the works. Mom was blowing up police phones for two straight hours while short-staffed cops treated it like a runaway kid case.

But once the full, messy, politically inconvenient picture hit the internet?

The 24/7 coverage didn’t just slow down. It died.

Nothing kills a beautiful partisan morality play faster than facts that refuse to cooperate. The media isn’t in the truth business ... they’re in the narrative enforcement business. And this one didn’t confirm shit.

In fact it was 251 years ago tonight, Pablo Rivera rode through the Massachusetts countryside warning the colonistas:

"Ay wey, the British are coming!"

I played in the NCAA tournament and am now a full time a shooting coach. I can pretty easily tell how inflated a ball is just by watching on TV.

Yes it is my estimation but the numbers don’t lie.. Final Four ball has been super pumped the last two years… and the Under is 6-0

[Tom George @CoachGeorge5]

Why is this story not getting the attention from sports media and national media? @stephenasmith pls give it the attention it deserves!

Megan Rapinoe, soccer world why the silence? Steve Kerr why so quiet?

Hello.

It's important we all stay in our specific lanes of expertise.

We respectfully never comment about your specific lane of expertise which is:

"My Life As A Garden Gnome."

We ask you show us the same respect please....

The irony of F1’s “green engines”:

- All race cars combined over a season: ~150 tonnes CO₂/year
- F1’s total footprint from flying cargo everywhere: ~250,000+ tonnes

Even if fuel consumption tripled using V12s, that’s <1% from the engines.

But sure, let’s nerf the engines.

Good morning. This video will undoubtedly be the most beautiful you'll see today.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

So based on @grok’s research the US sports media didn’t ask a single political question of any athlete during the twenty years Clinton, Obama & Biden were in office. The Trump questions are truly without any Olympics precedent. The sports media has a huge far left wing bias.

[Tom George @CoachGeorge5]

Young people in Oklahoma protesting during school. Take your ass back in the classroom, get your education and protest on your own time!!

Parents, handle your children!!

[LHGrey™️ @Grey_0G]

You keep comparing Trump to Hitler, ICE to the Gestapo, America to 1930s Germany.

Fine. Let’s play your game.

Let’s see what actually happens if the mask slips and your nightmare becomes real.

Imagine the switch flips overnight.

Trump doesn’t tweet anymore. He speaks once, calmly, on every screen at once. No more campaigns, no more debates, no more appeals to voters. Just orders.

Congress is dissolved “for the duration of the emergency.”

The courts are “reorganized.”

The media outlets that spent years calling him Hitler are shuttered in a single dawn raid...transmitters smashed, editors vanished.

The ones that remain read only what the new Ministry of Truth provides.

ICE...no longer a bureaucracy in windbreakers...steps out in crisp black uniforms with silver death’s heads on the collars.

The transformation is deliberate, theatrical, unmistakable. They don’t hide the symbolism; they revel in it.

The message is simple: resistance is obsolete.

And you?

You’re first.

Not because you’re the biggest threat...you’re not. You’re soft, disorganized, addicted to validation and dopamine hits from likes and retweets.

You’re first because you’re loud, visible, and already self-identified. The regime needs examples early, while the memory of freedom is still fresh.

Terror works best when people can still remember what they lost.

They come for you at 4 a.m.
No warrants, no livestreams, no body cams.

Black vans, no plates.
Doors kicked in.

You’re dragged out in whatever you slept in, zip-tied, hooded. Your phones are confiscated and bricked on the spot. Your social media accounts are wiped.

The algorithm no longer knows you exist.

The holding facilities aren’t the border detention centers you loved to scream about. Those were holiday camps compared to what’s built now.

These are repurposed warehouses in the middle of nowhere, ringed with razor wire and watchtowers. No NGOs, no lawyers, no press tours.

You’re stripped, hosed down with ice water, issued a gray jumpsuit with a number. Your name is never spoken again.

Interrogation is methodical. They already have everything...your posts, your group chats, your donor lists, your face from a thousand cameras. They just want you to admit what you are.

Most of you break fast. You were never trained for this; you thought courage was a hashtag. You denounce your friends for a crust of bread and a blanket.

The ones who don’t break… disappear deeper. No trials, no headlines. Just silence.

The lucky ones get shipped to the new labor camps springing up in the desert.
Guards who’ve been told you’re traitors, terrorists, enemies of the people.
A beating for looking up. A bullet for trying to run.

The unlucky ones are made examples on live broadcasts. Not many...just enough.
A show trial that lasts twenty minutes.

Then the public execution, streamed in high definition so everyone understands the new rules.

Within six months the resistance is a ghost story whispered by people who no longer dare say your names.

And the streets?

Quiet.

Just order. And fear.

That, you stupid, comfortable, historically illiterate fucks, is what actual authoritarianism looks like.

Not mean tweets.
Not “fascist” rhetoric that hurts your feelings.

Not even mass deportations of illegal immigrants...which, by the way, most of the country supports.

You take for granted the right to call the president a tyrant to his face, to burn the flag, to riot without being shot in the street...and you think that proves the tyranny is already here.

You have no idea how good you have it.

You have no idea how fast it can all vanish.

So keep rioting, keep smashing, keep comparing your democratic disappointments to the fucking Shoah.

Just understand this: the real thing, when it comes, will not announce itself with a Trump tweet.

It will arrive in the dark.
With vans.
And lists.

And by then, no one will be left to hear you scream.

💀🔪

If protesters were to never impede federal investigations they would never be put in a dangerous position

Don’t make a federal law enforcement agent decide in a split second decision if their life is at threat or not

Tragic, bad and sad situation all around

Don’t let these protests distract from the fraud they are actively trying to hide and divert from
