The final 90 seconds of Senator Josh Hawley’s questioning of Anthony Fauci is pure cinema.
Hawley ended the exchange by cutting Fauci down to the bone with everything he had exposed.
The last two lines hit the hardest.
Fauci knew Hawley had him dead to rights, and the look on his face was priceless.
HAWLEY: “Yeah, well, silence is admission.”
“And here’s the real thing…at the end of the day, it wasn’t just about the money, really, was it?”
“It was really about a power trip. I mean, through all of this, you wanted to be the most famous scientist in the world. You were so focused on getting every award and every drop of cash that you could, all because you wanted to be on TV.”
“You wanted to be the sun god of science.”
“You wanted to be the guy who was in charge of it all.”
“You wanted to lambaste Trump.”
“You wanted to make sure that nobody else stole your spotlight.”
“YOU wanted to be the GUY.”
“You had time to sit for InStyle magazine. Here’s what you were doing with your time. You could sit for InStyle magazine, but you can’t answer questions for the American people!”
“You could sit for InStyle magazine, but you’re here taking the Fifth!”
“You could sit for InStyle magazine and get a MILLION BUCKS in cash awards, but now the cat’s got your tongue.”
“I bet he does!”
“I’ll tell you what, here’s my conclusion from all of this.”
“This was really all about you the whole time. Somewhere along the way, you lost your way.”
“You may have been a good public servant at one time, I don’t know.”
“What I can tell you from reading your emails now, from looking at what you did, how you used your employees, somewhere along the line, it became all about you.”
“You became a narcissist and a megalomaniac and a liar, and you’ve lied to the American people, and you’ve lied to this body!”
“And you’ve disgraced your profession by doing it.”
“You called yourself the most famous scientist in the world… you’ve done more to harm science than anybody in my lifetime.”
“And I hope you’ll go home and write that in your diary.”

Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.
0/24,000
A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.
Astronomically small probability of happening.
Impossible.
California no longer even hides it.
Doors need to be kicked in.
Tomorrow the PGA Tour set to announce
The “any player that is a three-time winner on PGA Tour , fired up the Ryder Cup by running around with a flag, then disappeared for 12 years, got signed by LIV, but played like crap, yet defied the odds and won” returning members program
🚨 HOLY CRAP! PRESIDENT TRUMP on Venezuela dictator MADURO: "He has offered everything. You know why? He doesn't want to F*CK AROUND with the United States!"
🔥🔥🔥
Highlight of talking to Tom Izzo (among many things) was a reporter slipping in a "Michigan won the Big Ten" comment. Izzo was absolutely not going to let that go unchecked: "Michigan won the Big Ten Tournament. They did not win the Big Ten."
Dude remains the best.
"Let me hammer something home. I am sick and I am tired of hearing people say, like Barack Obama did, like Hillary Clinton did, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."
"Guess what? You can't call the President of the United States for ten years Adolph Hitler, and you can't say that he's a fascist dictator, and you can't say that anyone who voted for Trump or advocated for him... are Nazis..."
"And then when someone tries to kill us, you can't suddenly say, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."
"You caused it... when you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people 'go k*ll them'!"
@ClayTravis has got this exactly right. You can't engage in non-stop character assassination without expecting there will be political assassination.
Once again, a bullet has silenced the most eloquent truth teller of an era. My dear friend Charlie Kirk was our country's relentless and courageous crusader for free speech. We pray for Erika and the children. Charlie is already in paradise with the angels. We ask his prayers for our country.
Jase Richardson wasn’t invited to the NBA Draft Green Room.
He was just selected by the Magic at pick 25.
Best player on an Elite 8 team, Jase is going to be an absolute stud in the league.
Great pick.
