@3YearLetterman@realDonaldTrump@NIH None of us are fit to enter inside the house of our greatest president, Ben Franklin, @3YearLetterman. But if you are ever in the neighborhood, it would be fun to visit a local Beef O'Brady together.
As of this afternoon, Hurricane Milton has strengthened into a major Category 5 hurricane. Evacuations are underway, and we have suspended tolls and opened roadway shoulders to make it easier for Floridians to get to safety. You do not need to travel hundreds of miles from home to evacuate safely—every county has pet-friendly shelters, special needs shelters, and other options that are safe from storm surge.
The State of Florida continues to fulfill requests from communities in the potential path of Hurricane Milton as we prepare for landfall. Hundreds of first responders will be embedded in potential impact sites along Florida’s west coast to begin search and rescue operations as soon as the storm passes. Power restoration resources are being marshaled in advance of this storm, including 30,000 linemen who are coming to Florida from all over the country.
Continue to heed warnings from your local emergency management officials, and visit https://t.co/lxVWZ8M9Zg for up-to-date information on Hurricane Milton.
You know, you’ve never really experienced true victimhood until you’ve been conned by two Canadian chicks running a Russian influence operation out of Tennessee, with 7-figure paychecks funneled into your bank account via a Czech-based auto parts store and a UAE yacht consultancy. That’s pure 100% caviar-level victimhood.
🚨 How much of the $143,000+ Julie and John Kelly have given to politicians have been to Democrats?
Prior to Nov 2016, Julie Kelly seemed content doing propaganda for the Big Ag businesses under the guise of a regular "suburban mom" who teaches cooking classes. She lives in a 10,000 sqft home in Orland Park outside of Chicago IL and is married to John J Kelly, Jr - a lobbyist and owner of https://t.co/zYS5adbKWV.
One of their biggest clients is https://t.co/nWpQ6qQpw8, a roughly $100B a year agribusiness.
"ADM is a global leader in both human and animal nutrition. We utilize the power and provisions of nature to create ingredients and solutions that generate safe, healthy, and sustainable nutrition for people and animals around the world."
Julie's home was purchased for $1.356M in Jan 2011. The point is - the Kelly's have been well-off since long before you heard of her, and her shilling for Monsanto and pesticides, and her @tomcolicchio feud (documented below in her own words) appear to be a hobby. Tom's account is clearly on the political left, but it didn't stop Julie from picking fights with a man for clout. And, due to the horrible nature of social media, and a husband with connections to major news outlets - she was miraculously able publish an editorial in the @WSJ.
In her words, she was upset that a cook got into politics. Pot - Kettle. Kettle - pot. “Why is this cook lecturing me about politics and food stamps?" So she was inspired by picking a fight over food issues which also were her husband's client's issues. (https://t.co/lKz13l8uLy)
Apparently, much of the writing Julie and a guy called Henry Miller did was published in Forbes, but retracted after an @nytimes article in 2017 exposed their articles as thinly veiled ghostwriter pieces for Big Ag and pesticide companies. They are still archived on the Genetic Literacy Project - a website run by a former Phillip Morris disinformation operative and initially funded by Bayer/Monsanto with $100k if you believe the organic watchdog groups who looked into it.
Julie popped onto the scene in the political writing world with the Federalist and then later with American Greatness. The first archived piece from @FDRLST was a few days after the 2016 election. (https://t.co/n527WZEWhe)
In this piece she states: "Aside from the policy differences and mixed enthusiasm, one factor brought us together: Hillary Clinton. It all boiled down to a common refrain I heard from women and men, which was, “I can’t vote for her.” The disdain, even disgust, for her was palpable. Corrupt, dishonest, phony were the most common descriptors. Her complicity in the Benghazi terrorist attack and subsequent cover-up were high on the list of reasons MY FRIENDS WOULDN'T VOTE for her, along with her private email server and questions about the Clinton Foundation." (emphasis added)
This is curious because on 3/29/2016, Julie contributed $2700 to Hillary for America - the @HillaryClinton campaign for president against @realDonaldTrump. This was in line with her and her husband's pattern of giving money to @TheDemocrats including Harry Reid, @BarackObama both senate and presidential campaigns, and more. She actually supported @AdamKinzinger for Congress with $500 in 2012 in an amusing turn of events.
But people change, and Julie is entitled to change. However, it becomes harder to explain the fact that she supported and donated $2800 to @JoeBiden on 12/17/2019. At the time she was writing for American Greatness (https://t.co/hqHPC63Vzt) and likely writing her book trashing the #NeverTrump part of the @GOP. Her book "Disloyal Opposition," published in July 2020, has an amusingly ironic title. As people supported "the Great Julie Kelly" on podcasts, TV, and now her subscriber funded @X and @substack accounts, #MAGA readers were funding a household that has donated over $130,000 to all of the Democrats they dislike intensely.
Since Trump first took office, and Julie was writing for conservative publications, she and John donated to @BetoORourke, @SenatorDurbin, @timkaine in VA, @TammyMurphyNJ, @KamalaHarris (via Harris Victory Fund - previously Biden Victory Fund), @jontester, @SenBobCasey, and the @DNC.
All of this information was obtained using publicly available information on the internet from my home. You don't need special access or databases. The donations can be seen on the government's FEC contributions database. The search parameters were chosen using OSINT that took about 30 minutes to generate. I spent more time writing this post than looking this up.
The point is - stop being so trusting of people's motives when they are going to attack @SuspendablesUSA for simply sharing accurate information. Julie was wrong about the language in the FD-888 used to execute the Mar-a-Lago search warrant. @dbongino decided to back Julie's false information and publicly attacked a number of men who have more skin in the game and future's on the line than either the Bonginos or the Kellys.
If you blindly follow this woman who has attacked @shipwreckedcrew, @TPC4USA, and others without justification or cause, you are supporting Democrats. Financially.
(Journalists who wish to received the FEC search parameters can request via DM. The answer to the headline question is over 90% by my calculation.)
@BonkDaCarnivore Absolutely! I would jump all over this. I would make the time, already have the start-up capital. Treat me any way you want. I can handle it. What an opportunity.
I find it weird that there is one politician that never gets this treatment from @SteveDeaceShow, despite that politician being the one most directly responsible for Covid tyranny and Warp Speed. That’s the word for it, right? Weird?
Con Inc Grifter Tournament of Champions, Round 1 Battle 4
(8) Catturd (+115) vs. (9) Clay Travis (-105)
Why they're here: First, it should be noted that, even though @catturd2 is the higher seed, he's the underdog on the Vegas line because even when he's favored, he's such a fucking loser that people think he's gonna fail.
How they got here: Catturd was but a humble grey-haired stockboy at a local Wal-Mart when, shortly after getting fired from his job for incompetence, he made ONE reasonably funny meme that caught the eye of Sexual Assailant Trump, who re-tweeted it and saved Turd from having to spend the rest of his days eating dirt. Because Magadoltians are a particularly dumb lot that can't recognize a one-trick pony, he has managed to parlay it into posting memes so retarded that even the left feels bad for the quality, horrible political takes, and referring to his 814 square foot shack in the middle of nowhere as "Catturd Ranch", because it sounds more elegant. He has since parlayed that one meme into a podcast that I'm told at least 16 people listened to, and occasionally attempts to facilitate his Twitter adshare grift with "concerts", in which he has been able to attract F-list singers to appear, ostensibly for an agreement of all you can eat roadkill.
He's such a grifter that this mother fucker actually RAN OVER HIS OWN DOG and then the first thing he thought to do was to post about it all over Twitter to get more engagement. He frequently cries to Elon about how his important takes are suppressed and wrings his hands endlessly about his impressions, because at any given moment that $16 mortgage could go into arrears, what with his highest paying job being 9.75 an hour. Since he lacks any sense of business acumen, he's eschewed traditional grift expansions like branded overpriced coffee and teas or mugs, instead just flat-out hosting fundraisers for the Catturd Greed Foundation (I think ). He's also got the usual array of apparel, or at least he did.
@ClayTravis took a different path. He actually started a business (Outkick) and then somehow convinced Fox to purchase it - probably not a hard sell job since the collective IQ at that company is about 37. Somewhere in the contract, he must have snuck language in to guarantee appearances on the Fox News network, as that's the only rational explanation for how somebody who has absolutely no charisma or presence could get a seat, even on a 3rd rate station like that. Between that and his podcast with Buck Sexton, he spends most of his days mostly regurgitating other peoples ideas and overtly committing jury tampering in an effort to protect his gravy train, Defrauder Donald Trump. He flat out admits he says things that he knows aren't true because it gets him more attention, and is the typical outrage politics serial complainer type who actually doesn't want anything to change, because outrage sells. He's not even really a Republican, given that he was a 2x Obama voter - matter of fact, he's only ever voted Republican one time. Somehow, his 75% sports 25% politics show doesn't stop him from endlessly railing about how politics need to be kept out of sports, but his followers don't seem to mind. He hasn't gotten there yet, but expect the "I'm just asking questions" phase to kick in where he posits whether the earth is flat or if the US were really the villains in WW2.
Why Catturd doesn't belong: Again, it comes down to competence. He very much wants to be the penultimate grifter. Turd just isn't smart enough to capitalize on the following he's amassed, though he tries mighty hard. Realistically, his superpower seems to be taking other people who used to have SOME credibility (like Tucker) and turning them into more successful grifters than him simply by spending time with him. Other than that, the only thing I have is that I'd hate to have to keep writing bios for somebody who is so terrible that they kill their pets and use it as an opportunity to generate social media clicks. And I kinda feel bad for anybody who has hands so small they can't even wrap it around the broom handle he likely defiles himself with.
Why Clay doesn't belong: If anything, Clay kind of pulls his punches. He's reasonably intelligent (he got a JD from Vanderbilt, for example....though that doesn't stop him from openly committing felonies, but that might just be the Trump effect), he's not got a disaster of a personal life, and he's not as overt as the Daily Wire grifters are in terms of slapping his brand on everything for a quick buck to "own the libs". Honestly, half of his guests (Julie Kelly comes immediately to mind) are even bigger pieces of shit than he is, he only beats them out in bracket for prominence. Plus, he actively participates in Con Inc eating their own (The fight with Loomer comes immediately to mind), though there's a non-zero possibility those are all staged for more engagement.
SO, who's the biggest grifter?
