🚨 DNI GABBARD: “Politicians and so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, as well as entities within the Biden administration's national security team, lied repeatedly to the American people about the existence of US-funded and supported biolabs.”

Two alternatives:
Either they imagined the third world immigrants would magically integrate into the UK - in which case they’re stupid
Or they knew they wouldn’t integrate but let them in anyway - in which case they’re evil.

The more Los Angeles citizens discover about what is legal here regarding voting, the less it feels like democracy at all.

For those of you who don’t speak Italian, I’m going to translate just some of the headlines that I’ve read in the last 48 hours from the country that I live in, Italy:
Avezzano: Sexual violence against a 16 year old, judge releases the Egyptian attacker and says “no precautionary needs were identified”
Bressanone: Tunisian migrant stabs a 20 year old to steal his bike
Bussolengo: Shooting, 30 year old injured, 17 year old Egyptian migrant arrested
Milan: Attempted murder, kidnapping, and sexual violence against an Austrian man, three Egyptians arrested
Milan, again: Gang rape of an Erasmus student, manhunt for the aggressors
Milan, once again: Polish model beaten and nearly gang raped by a group of migrants in the street, saved by an Italian man.
Udine: Foreign minor with covered face robs a supermarket while holding a gun
Terni: Two Tunisians arrested for assaulting a man and steal his money and bike
Viareggio: Violent robberies, three North Africans arrested
A 50 year old Albanian man defending an elderly man mocked by North Africans, was hit with a stone and left in a coma.
…….I won’t get into the politics of this. All I will say is that we absolutely do not have and cannot live this way any more.
This is not the Italy we haven known and loved for years. Something has to change. Now.

With FSD and Grok, I barely listen to the radio/music anymore. I get so much market studying done talking to Grok.

Go look at @AndrewDesiderio 's posts and tell me he isn't a proxy for whatever clients are paying to ensure John Thune is not going to pass SAVE Act.

The Zcash team handled the recent crisis with impressive professionalism and super high integrity. Recently, they made a clean break from what they saw as restrictive board oversight, forming ZODL as an independent entity. Zcash is currently High T. Thank the stars and the heavens!
I still don’t fully trust some of the people and VCs they’ve been (or are now) closely tied to. However, so far the bad actors - at least in my view - don’t appear to control the actual levers of power in the protocol or the new development lab. Everyone that cares about privacy should watch the Zcash ecosystem like a hawk. You can spot the grifters/frauds/self-involved, quickly.
What do you pay attention to in the ZEC ecosystem?

Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.
Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.
Pass it on.
Hello, Mr. Desiderio,
Punchbowl News sells access to Capitol Hill for corporate clients. Their senior Senate reporter is you, Andrew Desiderio.
Here's how the access works: Punchbowl has a weekly show called "Fly Out Day," taped at the Punchbowl News Townhouse and described on their own site as an "exclusive first look" for Premium subscribers. Those Premium subscribers are the K Street corporate government affairs staff and trade association officials whose legislative interests depend on what Senate leadership decides to schedule… or kill.
The second-ever guest was Senate Majority Leader John Thune, on September 11, 2025. This is documented in your own webste.
Now let’s go over your post carefully.
You say Mike Lee "primed the GOP base to believe" something. That’s manipulative framing, the language of a man working a crowd. But Thune "pointed out" something. That’s the language of a man correcting the record, establishing fact.
This is not a one-off phrasing choice on your part.
Your Punchbowl coverage consistently frames Thune's positions as institutional reality and conservative alternatives as base management. Thune "declared" that the talking filibuster is dead. Lee and his allies "captivated Trump's base." Thune "had enough." The SAVE Act push is "a self-inflicted wound." These are not neutral verbs. They are a point of view… and it's Thune's point of view, delivered with a byline.
There's a structural reason this happens.
Jake Sherman described Punchbowl's business model in his own words on The Rebooting podcast (January 2022): nearly 90% of the outlet's revenue comes from corporate sponsorships… "trade groups and companies looking to get their public affairs messaging in front of those making public policy." The sponsors documented at Punchbowl include PhRMA, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Facebook, JPMorgan, Blackstone, the American Investment Council (private equity lobby), and others.
These sponsors need the goodwill of the Senate Majority Leader, who controls which of their legislative priorities come to the floor. Thune controls the floor. Thune sits in Punchbowl's townhouse. You reports Thune's framing as conventional wisdom.
When Desiderio writes that the talking filibuster "will ultimately fail" ... not might fail, not Thune argues it will fail, but when it ultimately fails ... is that journalism? Or is it the view from Thune's Fly Out Day chair?
You are busted, Mr. Desiderio.

We have now had President Trump in office for a combined total of 1,963 days across both terms - 1,461 days in his first term and 502 days into his second term.
We have had endless talk about designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
We have had endless talk about banning CAIR.
We have had endless talk about labeling Antifa the domestic terrorist organization it is.
Yet here we are: The Muslim Brotherhood and its vast network of proxies are advancing faster and deeper than ever before in America.
They are aggressively building mini Islamic cities and parallel societies across the nation, while ruthlessly capturing our schools, governments, and institutions.
CAIR grows more brazen by the day, openly mocking and defying our governors, attorneys general, and any state that tries to confront them.
Meanwhile, Antifa thugs continue to rampage in the streets, assaulting law enforcement, conservatives, ICE agents, and patriotic Americans with impunity.
Islamic terror networks and their Marxist allies are marching in perfect lockstep, seizing ground, power, and influence at an alarming rate.
And this is all unfolding under Republican, “conservative” leadership - with Trump in the White House.
It seems we lack the will, the courage, or the plan to confront these existential threats head-on.
Or…..our politicians have simply sold us out for money, or they realize that the imported voters are the ones that show up to the polls and they’re busy courting them.
I hear a lot of talk about how everyone has already conceded that Republicans are going to get beaten badly in the midterm elections.
If you want votes - if you want to inspire Americans to show up at the polls in massive numbers - then deliver on the grand promises that have once again not been delivered.
Stop the endless talk. Start the decisive, uncompromising action America voted for. The threats are not waiting. The midterms are not waiting.
The time for empty rhetoric is over. America demands immediate, bold results before it’s too late.
We are watching our country fall….

The SAVE America Act is controversial only among Democrats in Congress
Everywhere else it’s common sense
Senate Republicans should focus on nothing else until it becomes law

Our Founding Fathers did not take up arms over taxes alone. They overthrew a tyrannical government that planted spies in their communities and violated their liberties.
Those men would be appalled by what is happening to our Constitutional freedoms today.
The fight against government surveillance is the fight to preserve the very liberties they risked everything to secure.

WWIII is being fought on X right now. We are in the opening stages of a war that does not involve the nukes we have feared for decades. This invasion is being waged from within by weaponizing our own freedoms, open borders, and suicidal diversity policies against us.
Our broken system has allowed illegals, DACA recipients, and foreign adversaries to flood in and grab positions of power over American citizens.
In California, DACA migrant Ernesto Moron was sworn in as a police officer at UC Davis, one of the first under their new law dropping citizenship requirements. Similar non-citizen hires are happening in Illinois, Colorado, and elsewhere while sanctuary cities push non-citizens toward badges and influence.
This is not compassion. This is replacement. How much more of America will we hand over before we say enough and take our country back?
