Just happy to be here.

Potential jurors also said they couldnt imagine "putting a brother in jail." As a society we need to face the reality that racial bias/solidarity is widespread in our juries, just not in the way they depict on Law & Order

The state of the Democratic party is such that it is electing a former Al-Qaeda volunteer who testified on behalf of the mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing. There is no GOP equivalent to this, not even close

Please, shut the hell up.

Annnnd canceled after @GregAbbott_TX threatened the taxpayer grants to the city if its public accommodation was used by the Islamist group to discriminate against non-Muslims. Remember -- the event at the city-owned entity was repeatedly advertised as "Muslims only" on all their mailers and on their site until they tried to scrub it.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

We’re in the immediate aftermath of the third attempted assassination of Trump in 2 years, less then a year since the assassination of one of the most prominent conservatives, and Joe is trying to convince you the real problem is right-wing violence.

Lying hack.

Macron: Spends weeks simping for Hezbollah. Hezbollah kills his people anyway.

Maybe there’s a lesson there?

NEW: Former women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe appears to suggest there is no scientific evidence that men are better than women at sports.

The comment came as Rapinoe raged against the IOC's decision to only let women play in women's sports.

It is worth noting that the United States women's national soccer team, which Rapinoe played on, previously got beaten by an under-15 boys team.

My message here clearly struck a nerve. A few friends from when I was press secretary, domestically and abroad, don’t like what I said. Instead of seeing how Western European nations must change, they just want to attack Trump.

The reason it struck a nerve is because they recognize that this time NATO nations are being held to account. They know they’ve come up short for decades and by denying us overflight rights, they’ve gone too far. Americans are fed up, especially with France and Spain. Trump won’t stand for it and they know it. They now fear the consequences of their inaction.

The UK, unlike its days under Thatcher or Blair, is wishy-washy. They’ve often been a good allie, but this time they want to sit it out and have it both ways. We can use their bases, but only for limited operations. At least the UK spends real money on defense.

France, Spain, and Italy are another story. So too is Canada. None of these four contribute seriously to NATO. They’re laggards, trying to get away with it. Spain and France force our pilots to fly thousands of miles out of the way (I thought they didn’t like carbon footprints) en route to Iran.

Eastern Europe is a different story. They spend more on defense and they understand power. They lived under Soviet domination and recognize weakness when they see it. They won’t be weak.

Western European governments, especially France, are good at issuing communiques and statements. They enjoy hosting conferences. They love to ponder deeply. Getting them to act is another matter, unless it’s to purchase Russian LNG, which they still do.

The world is changing. Out of this war will come a new group of younger nations that understand real power and the importance of strength. The UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Eastern Europe will emerge stronger than ever. Western Europe will continue to fall behind.

As for Trump, you don’t have to like him. He often says things none of his predecessors would say. But don’t underestimate the fact that US taxpayers are fed up with nations that don’t pull their weight, and then force our pilots to take risks and longer flights so we can rid the world from the menace that is Iran.

Today’s Western European leaders would rather mollify Iran and pay them ransoms (trade) than support the US.

Things are different today. We all know it.

The UK, France, Spain and Italy (despite its Prime Minister) have earned the consequences that will unfold.

They could have and should have supported us. Not as a NATO alliance. But as individual free nations.

All we wanted was overflight rights and full access to airfields.

They’ve made their choices. Soon, they’ll see the results.

OUT OF BOUNDS: Megan Rapinoe slams the new IOC policy limiting women’s events to biological females based on sex testing.

"This committee is framing it as based in science, which it’s not," she said. "This will ultimately just prevent people from competing within the women’s category that they feel like they have an unfair advantage. It’s just really hateful."

Kevin Porter Jr is currently playing for the Bucks.

In 2020, he was arrested after he crashed his car and police found a loaded handgun and suspected marijuana in his car.

In 2023, he was arrested in New York City on felony charges of second-degree assault and strangulation after an alleged domestic violence attack on his girlfriend (WNBA player Kysre Rae Gondrezick).

Reports described her sustaining a fractured neck vertebra, a cut above her eye requiring stitches, and her fleeing into a hotel hallway covered in blood to escape his attacks.

The NBA has no issue with Kevin Porter's behavior, but Jaden Ivey is released for holding Biblical beliefs.

Just listen to him slamming @MarkwayneMullin for having been a plumber.

Rumors are also swirling that Jill Biden was telling the agent about how she met Joe Biden, and after the story dragged on for a bit, the agent shot himself.

Foreign scientologist weirdos running an op targeting Americans are now lecturing Catholic leaders about the “teachings of Jesus”

You belong to a cult that’s based on a made up story from a science fiction writer. What the f*ck do you know about the teaching of Jesus?

[Benjamin Domenech @bdomenech]

When Markwayne Mullin was 20 his dad's health took a turn. He dropped out of college to run the family business. He built it from 6 people into a multimillion dollar HVAC company with 150+ employees.

He's a pillar of his community, and @jimmykimmel can't even tell a funny joke.
