If the government shuts down for a month, all those countries who hate us won’t get their payments on time, and that would make @Liz_Cheney and @AdamKinzinger sad.
Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home. @WSJ@DOGE
BREAKING: Elon Musk and Vivek’s Department of Government Efficency may require federal employees to come into the office five days a week, which they argued could lead to "a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don't want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn't pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home."
NYC politicians demanding Whoppi Goldberg APOLOGIZE after she falsely accused a Staten Island bakery of refusing to serve her.
The View host claimed the bakery refused to serve her over her liberal beliefs.
Instead, their oven was broken and they were unable to serve any customers.
Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella said that Goldberg “besmirched and defamed” the bakery by “making stuff up to suit their needs.”

Nothing about this feels good, because John Oliver generously gave his time for my charity Lumos and I liked him very much when I met him, but God knows, if you ever need an example of motivated reasoning and confirmation bias, this video's for you. An undoubtedly intelligent person spouts absolute bullshit to support something he wants to be true, but isn't.
According to the UN, female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to trans-identified men competing against them in women’s sporting categories. Girls have been ousted from teams to make way for boys. Women have suffered serious injury playing against trans-identified men (see Payton McNabb, mentioned below).
Again and again I've come up against men who argue exactly what Oliver does here, using the very same talking points. With a straight face, the 'believe the science' guys will say 'actually, we don't yet have enough data to say whether men and boys are stronger and faster than women and girls'. The 'be kind' crew can't see what the issue is. 'Why are you bothered, it only affects a tiny minority of females?'
To prove to their progressive credentials - and (coincidentally, I'm sure) indemnify themselves against repercussions from cultural elites in the media, academia and publishing who've showed themselves more than ready to kick people to the kerb for failing to mouth the approved mantras - people with a lot to lose are currently prepared to make idiots of themselves. They'll stare unabashedly into a camera and insist that their audiences' eyeballs are incapable of seeing what's plain as day, and that there's something wrong with the great unwashed for believing that girls are being robbed of opportunities and put at physical risk.
If you want to tell the world you're happy to watch females suffer injury, humiliation and the loss of sporting opportunities to bolster an elitist post-modern ideology embraced by a minute fraction of the world's population, fair enough; you're allowed your opinion. But if you've just told girls they don't deserve fair sport, maybe rethink using all too real and common sexual predation against young women as a punchline for your 'edgy' closing joke.
Last month the Taliban banned women from speaking in public.
This month they will be invited to attend the the UN climate conference.
The United Nations is a joke.
NEW: CNN panel completely loses it after Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary (correctly) points out that Kamala Harris was not democratically nominated.
The “pro-democracy” party really hates it when you point out that they don’t actually support democracy.
O’Leary: “Listen to this analogy, and you may agree, you may not. 88% of managers cannot beat the S&P 500 year in year out.”
“They can't pick stocks. This is the second time the Democratic party has circumvented democracy and chose someone.”
CNN panel: *Melts down*

A new public statement from one of Tim Walz's alleged victims reveals claims that he wasn't the only one, suggesting more individuals are set to come forward.
The accuser has provided specific details about Walz's body, including a raised scar on his chest, a Chinese symbol tattoo on his upper thigh, and a small scar on his left arm.
The victim now plans to hire an attorney to pursue full legal action, further alleging that his physical relationship with Walz ended in 1996.
According to @DocNetyoutube, this statement was provided by the victim.
This is the North Carolina State Highway Patrol on video saying the only reason they’re able to communicate with their convoy after Hurricane Helene is because they are equipped with Starlink.
Incredible technology that is saving lives.
In 1949, both of my parents joined the Communist revolution, believing that Communism was the solution to China's problems. By the time they realized it was a lie, it was too late.
Because of their choice, I was born into the slavery of Communism.
This November, we face a similar choice. Remember, you can only vote for Communism ONCE!!
