@ArthurBoreman @redsteeze Clear-headed legal scholar calling for the murder of a billionaire white man who launches rockets to show solidarity with Muslims beheading Irishmen. 21st-century Democrat zeitgeist.

There are currently 190,000 children in Chicago living below the poverty level.

For the price of the $900 million Obama library, we could have given each one of these poor children in Chicago $4,736.

Am I doing this right?

@76ripper @NBCNews They did do something else. They decided not to play wearing a gay endorsement jersey and forfeited. Good for them. At least they have principles. Others, not so much.

They got adults on Medicaid to sign up for their facility, they billed Medicaid for them, and then gave them some of the funds Medicaid paid. He hosted fundraisers for Dem candidates and donated to them directly.

The Democratic Party is primarily a money laundering organization.

@BillHecht74 @NBCNews They spoke out against wearing the gay endorsement jerseys and were punished with a forfeit. Punished for not agreeing to wear a jersey that made a political statement. It’s in the realm of a constitutional rights violation.

I just walked out of @ODNIgov HQ for the last time. Thank you President Trump - I remain grateful for the profound honor of serving the American people and our nation as the Director of National Intelligence.

@DNIGabbard, out.

@BillHecht74 @NBCNews They were required to wear gay endorsement jerseys or forfeit the game. No other jersey option offered, wear the gay jersey or forfeit.

No different than objecting to wear a Nazi endorsing swastika jersey.

🇯🇵🇨🇳 Japan's defense establishment has begun contesting Beijing on the terrain Beijing prefers to control: the framing of what counts as militarism, and who gets to define it.

In his first interview with foreign media as defense minister, Shinjiro Koizumi did something Tokyo has generally avoided in the postwar era. He questioned the basic factual integrity of the People's Republic of China's announced defense budget, asking whether the figures Beijing puts forward are "genuinely grounded in fact, backed by evidence, and highly transparent." The challenge lands on solid ground.

The Pentagon's December assessment concluded that the PRC's actual 2024 defense outlays ran 32 to 63 percent above the announced $231 billion headline, once armed police, provincial security spending, veterans' affairs, mobilization activities, defense-related research and military capital expenditure are folded in. Beijing's announced 2026 budget of 1.91 trillion yen, roughly $283 billion USD, is therefore best read as a floor rather than a ceiling.

The accountability inversion

What is novel is not the underlying critique. Academics and Western governments have long discounted the PRC's headline figure. What is new is the institutional voice now delivering it. Koizumi paired the transparency challenge with a deliberate reversal of Beijing's "new militarism" label, noting in his May Singapore speech that Japan possesses neither nuclear weapons nor strategic bombers, while the country leveling the charge maintains both. The move shifts the burden of explanation. Rather than defending Japan against a stigma, Tokyo is asking which actor in the region actually fits the description, and inviting third parties to draw their own conclusions from the disclosed numbers.

A coordinated turn at the G7

The discursive shift is not Koizumi's alone. At the G7 summit in France on Tuesday, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi named China directly when raising concerns about Beijing's measures against Japan and their downstream effect on G7 and like-minded supply chains, departing from the diplomatic convention of leaving the antagonist unspecified.

The pairing matters. A defense minister contesting the numbers and a head of government contesting the coercive economic instrument together signal that Tokyo no longer regards strategic ambiguity toward Beijing as the prudent default. The pressure campaign over Takaichi's Taiwan remarks, including the tightening of rare earth export controls that followed, appears to have produced the opposite of its intended effect.

The strategic implication is verifiable rather than rhetorical. By anchoring its critique in parliamentary scrutiny, Pentagon assessments and disclosed budget lines, Japan is offering allies a template that does not depend on shared sentiment. Numbers either reconcile or they do not. Koizumi's insistence that Japan remains open to dialogue with Beijing, regardless of how far positions diverge, preserves the diplomatic surface while quietly removing the protective vagueness Beijing has long exploited. That is the shift worth watching.

The FTC has brought hundreds of cases against people who make false and unsubstantiated health claims for nearly a century. Today’s lawsuit is no different. We allege that WPATH made deceptive and unsubstantiated claims about the necessity, safety, and efficacy of certain drugs and surgeries used to medically transition children. Medical providers conveyed WPATH’s deceptive and unsubstantiated claims to assure parents of the benefits of medical transition services for their children. This enabled medical providers to make permanent, irreversible changes to the bodies of these children, often at enormous physical, personal, and financial cost.

🚨SCOOP: Senate Majority Leader John Thune admitted some Senate Republicans hate President Donald Trump too much to support the SAVE America Act, the Daily Caller has been told.

Thune admitted during a closed-door GOP lunch on Wednesday that some Republican senators oppose President Donald Trump so strongly that they will never vote for the SAVE America Act, regardless of the legislation’s merits, according to several sources familiar with the matter.
