My views on Covid, restrictions, masks, testing and the role governments play has changed wildly in the past 2 years. Has anyone not changed their positions on most Covid related things since Jan 20? I was pro lockdown, pro mask, pro governments stepping in, etc. Now I'm not.

what a tragedy for alex jones to see his prophecies come true. turns out the government is actually a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets. but vindication is denied to him. the poor man has to pretend it's a hoax

Megyn Kelly in 2018: " There's no consenting for a 14 or even a 17 year old." Megyn Kelly today: "Jeffrey Epstein…was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

JD Vance said he doesn’t like taking medications. Cool dude. Most people don’t wake up thrilled to either. But let’s not pretend avoiding meds is some kind of moral high ground. For a lot of people, medications are the reason they’re alive. Period.

If Trump had sex with an underaged girl, should he still be our President?

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house,” “knew about the girls,” and “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”

The scandal is not that he is a pedophile, a crook, corrupt, incompetent, or a liar. The real scandal is that everyone who voted for him knew all this before voting for him.


MAGA yet again pushing the socialist messaging that people should all work for the common good. Not for money. Amazing how quickly they embrace the very thing they claimed to hate so much.

This last-minute hemp ban pits all kinds of industries against each other. But the reality is that many states (esp. in the South) still don't even have medical cannabis at all. Zero. Those hemp-derived Delta products, bad as they are, are the only legal options.

"Just pass legalization in your home state," they'll say like it is easy. Trulieve spent $140M to do it in FL and it still failed. (Yes FL is unusual with their 60% threshold but still.)

If you score remap shifts between safe/competitive seats as +/-0.5, here's how the count looks today, to my eye: CA: Dem +4.5 MO: GOP +1 NC: GOP +0.5 OH: GOP +0.5 TX: GOP +4 UT: Dem +1 That leaves Republicans ahead by half a seat, w/ FL, IN & VA the biggest remaining variables.

Once everyone has finished with tit for tat gerrymandering and it doesn’t make that much of a difference maybe we can agree on a national anti-gerrymandering rule to bring back some cross-cutting regional dynamics to congress?

TRUMP: The ones who stayed, I'm sending them a $10,000 bonus INGRAHAM: Where's that money coming from? TRUMP: I don't know. I'll get it from someplace.

I’m no fan of Jerome. I’ve openly mocked and criticized him throughout the pandemic. But my goodness. Kirsch is 1000x the 🤡 Adams is. Read Kirsch’s post. Take your time. Read it 4-5 times if you have to, He has the verbal reasoning skills of a 5yo. It’s maddening. 🤪

Yet a huge amount of the happiest couples I know have the woman as the primary breadwinner. I actually think it's over 50%.

Women hate dating men that aren’t richer and more successful than they are. It’s like with the guy needing to be taller than her. This is born out of by a lot of data about divorce, dating, etc

lol this is a funny comment “Democratic primary voters will remember this. Well no they won’t, but I’ll make sure they do”

It’s true that basically no one will base their vote in the 2026 GE on anything related to this government shutdown However, Dem primary voters are pretty plugged in & have longer memories And if they do forget, I’ll sure as hell do whatever I can to remind as many as possible

Most people have pointed out that Trump was golfing in Palm Beach at the exact moment Mullin posted this, but I will also note that the “work” Trump is doing here is autographing Truth Social posts that have been blown up and printed out.

Reminder that even if Tucker Carlson wasn’t an antisemite, he’s a liar who simply makes stuff up. Even if he loved the Jews, no self-respecting movement should be anywhere close to this person for all his lies alone.

Reminder of the time Tucker texted me after I pointed out he was spreading Russian disinformation about about Ukrainian weapons being sold on the Internet. I asked him for evidence for his views and you can see how it went. This is the person Kevin Roberts thinks contributes to…
