How deplorable.

Hypocrite that you are, for you trust the chemicals in your brain to tell you they are chemicals. All knowledge is ultimately based on that which we cannot prove. Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?

@FreddyLA7 Dude I just want to say that following your road trip through the South has been absolutely incredible.

So great to see you loving America and saying how awesome it is.

If you ever make your way back towards the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville NC… DM me!!!

This is so insane😭😭😭

Japanese World Cup fans: “Texas is good. Everything is big.”

Yet another consumer data point on why Costco has more warehouses in Japan than any other country outside of North America.

Saw OBSESSION last night and my number #1 thought while watching was, “Man, the production design is really strong, I hope that modestly compensated, new crew member gets hired on an even bigger-and-better movie and isn’t blowing their moment by being weird on social media.”

You need re-education.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.

We need a wealth tax.

[Joe Russo @joerussotweets]

Is it a good idea for crews to get equity in the movies they work on?

Yes.

Is it easier for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to give their crew equity in their movies?

Also yes.

Is it realistic for everyone else?

No.

No, the left are not Jealous of Elon Musk,

We don’t want to be trillionaires.

We want a world where children aren’t starving to death whilst trillionaires hoard money.

Whatever your politics, everyone knows how important it is to get paid on time. Alas, former President Barack Obama hasn’t paid contractors, including black businessmen he explicitly hired. This is powerful reporting by my @FoxNews Digital colleague, Michael Dorgsn @M_Dorgan

[Chuck Flint @ChuckAFlint]

@FoxNews @AsraNomani 400 organizations. $3B in revenues. Leadership tied to congressional CCP inquiries.

Soros-funded Indivisible running the reimbursement program.

Their own documents say this runs through the midterms.

This is manufactured. It’s a foreign influence machine.

The enemies within and their ties to the outside enemies, and how the democrats cleverly make the taxpayers finance their offensive activities, which are designed to destroy us eventually. 🧐💩🤬

🔥 MUST-WATCH: Fox News host @AishahHasnie breaks down the findings from our latest @FoxNews Digital investigation into the "Delaney Hall 100" network behind the anti-ICE protests in Newark, New Jersey.

Inside the secret network fueling anti-ICE uprisings: Documenting the 'Delaney Hall 100' and their secret Signal chats

After reading the investigation, Aisha said, "It was epic."

This segment is one of the reasons I appreciate working at Fox News Digital. Aishah and her talented team distilled a week of reporting, document review, field reporting, financial analysis and coalition mapping into a powerful 6-minute, 33-second piece that brings the story to life in a way only TV can do. Thank you, Aishah!

Since last Thursday, when word spread that activists were mobilizing around Delaney Hall, I've been investigating the organizations, funding networks, communications infrastructure and coalition structure behind the protests outside the detention facility on Doremus Avenue.

Huge credit to my colleagues @M_Dorgan and @MizellPreston, who spent hours on the ground documenting agitators, photographing signs and organizational branding and capturing video that helped identify many of the groups involved.

We gpt valuable assistance from hi-tech researchers @DataRepublican @bitchuneedsoap @astrarce, whose work helped me connect important pieces of the puzzle. I call them America's Digital Avengers.

This story was reported under unusual circumstances. Much of my work happened from my father's hospital room while he battled sepsis and pneumonia. I worked between doctors' rounds during the day and through the night so he wouldn't wake up alone and disoriented.

The good news: he's improving, now in rehab and on the road to recovery.

The article is now live. You can read it at this link: https://t.co/L7DvUDnDwG

Be sure to read it, and then watch the segment in full.

Pay close attention to the Signal messages shown on screen. Many of them appear mundane at first glance, but together they reveal how organizers coordinate transportation, logistics, communications, supplies and on-the-ground operations.

The story also includes the full communications guide referenced in the segment. It's a document outlining anti-ICE messaging, terminology and content strategy.

"We should be very concerned about the Delaney Hall 100," @ChuckAFlint, a nonprofit expert and former U.S. Senate chief of staff, told me.

"Protests like the kind we're seeing outside Delaney Hall are not organic protests. These are manufactured strategic, calculated endeavors by an army of nonprofits meant to push subversive activity. These groups generate annual revenues greater than many of the cities in which they protest. They act like military battalions with the ability to overwhelm a city's public safety resources."

"It's David vs. Goliath," said Flint, who is also a former state prosecutor.

Watch the video. Read the article.

This is my favorite type of reporting: breaking the fourth wall on protest theater!

[Gerald Posner @geraldposner]

Every journalist who knows the importance of "follow the money" admires the data driven investigations that are the hallmark of @AsraNomani. Last October, a week before the New York mayoral election, she stitched together the complex ethno-religious web of progressive nonprofits and radical imams who had engineered Mamdani's rise to power. At the time, I was taping my "Journalism 101" course for the @petersonacademy, and I cited her meticulous reporting of what she called the "Mamdani Machine" as a prime example of data journalism.

I'm glad to see she is back on familiar ground today, at the 'spontaneous' No Kings protest in Washington D.C., where she is talking about the more than 400 organizing groups, with a $3 billion annual revenue, and the familiar big-money funders, including George Soros, Neville Roy Singham, the Tides Foundation, and many others.

What I like about Asra's reporting is that most of her work relies on publicly available sources of information, including the often dense 990 tax filings of the groups themselves. It is tedious and time-consuming work but the results never cease to surprise.

Samuel Davis (17) tried to buy tobacco in San Antonio, Texas and was denied by the store clerk because he wasn't 18 and therefor legally prohibited from buying it 🚬

Mr. Davis then stabbed the 25 year old store clerk *multiple times* until the clerk died, choking to death on his own blood, because he wouldn't sell him tobacco 🔪

Mr. Davis was then arrested and his bond has been set at $500,000.

Taxpayers will now spend months/years on his criminal trial and then spend millions of dollars housing him in a taxpayer funded jail.

There are multiple angles of security camera footage showing Mr. Davis killing the clerk; guilt isn't a question.

Advocate for the death penalty (quickly) in cases like this accordingly...

SHOCKING: The Rwandan immigrant Emmanuel Abayisenga had his asylum application in France rejected repeatedly since he filed it in 2012. Despite the deportation orders, he remained in the country illegally for years.

The local priests entrusted him with the keys to the Nantes cathedral, assigning him the task of closing and caring for the building.

After he set the cathedral on fire in 2020, destroying the organ and the choir, Father Maire took him into his own home, offering him shelter while awaiting trial.

He then murdered Father Maire the following year.

Suicidal empathy in a nutshell. Almost unbelievable.

The individual who drew these pictures is very clearly fantasizing about the rape, murder, and mutilation of women. This is absolutely typical behavior for sexually motivated murderers, but instead of institutionalizing this obviously dangerous individual, women are supposed to feel sorry for him, and welcome him into the places where we are most vulnerable.

Expecting women to gladly put ourselves at risk so that dangerous and predatory men can live out their fantasies is asking us to volunteer to be brutalized.

[somercet @somercet1]

@Jdjdjdnhdhxbeh @sappholives83 Dolcett is all about the seduction of reducing oneself to the animal body.
That stuff up there is straight up violent fantasy.
