So I am noticing that the left is nearing a psychotic break. Consider the new info being released about the ICE shooter who missed and killed some aliens instead. The vast majority of leftists seem to be completely ignoring or actively discounting any evidence at all that the ICE guy was one of them. "It's a hoax!" or "Bondi wrote the note and used the sharpie!" and the like.
How can we inhabit a country when one side is simply unable to accept facts?
Russia has said that NATO has declared war on Russia.
All of the Generals have been recalled to Virginia.
I think this is related.
According to the Associated Press’s Farnoush Amiri, an anonymous U.N. official said the escalator in question was actually stopped prematurely by someone from Trump’s group, who ran ahead of the group and accidentally triggered a stop mechanism. The official added that the teleprompter that Trump was so upset about was also being operated by his White House.
Trump’s churlish speech—and his faulty finger-pointing—only further display how isolating his presidency has been on an international level. Trump’s constant hammering of the U.N. may cause countries that once depended on us as allies to go elsewhere, or strengthen their relationships without us. THIS FELLA IS SUCH A CHILD and he hires incompetents.

How stupid do you have to be to believe a story that starts out like this?
Dinky cannot imagine that anonymous UN officials might engaging in covering their asses. Ah, well.
Last few games of MLB regular season. Looking forward to the playoffs.
" THIS FELLA IS SUCH A CHILD and he hires incompetents."
Which is why his accomplishments cannot stand up to your own world renowned resume'.
So in the midst of all this lawfare, I would like to restate an idea I had about a year ago, for the President to effectively "pardon" people from State crimes. For example, Chauvin or Giuliani:
1. Direct appoint the guy as a military officer (for O-1 thru O-3, Senate confirmation is not needed).
2. Assign him to some kind of Pentagon think tank, like the old Office of Net Assessment.
3. Get a court order to take custody of the guy from state prison, in order to carry out his military duties.
4. Because the guy is on active duty, any civil actions against him get halted by the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act.
Note I said "effective" pardon, not actual pardon. But it would last at least until 2029. And if Vance or even DeSantis is 48, then it could last four or eight years beyond that. And a lot of things could happen between now and 2037. Older defendants might not be around anymore. States could turn red. Etc.
What do yall think? CC, JSM
Consider the new info being released about the ICE shooter who missed and killed some aliens instead.
He apparently used one of those apps that broadcast real-time warnings about ICE activity. Hope there's a way its authors can be brought up on charges for obstruction of justice and accessory to murder.
Clever, Mosby. It might just work.
If the 2028 D Pres nominee is Wes Moore, I wonder if Marco Rubio would be a better R candidate than JD. I love JD, but he will do much worse with Black voters than DJT.
As crazy as it sounds, but I wonder if Rubio might win California and New Mexico.
Food for thought.
Google AI Answers: "Yes, YouTube's parent company, Alphabet, recently admitted that the Biden administration pressured them to remove content related to COVID-19 and the 2020 election that did not violate the platform's policies.
Here's a summary of the situation:
Admission of Pressure: Alphabet officials stated in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee that the Biden administration engaged in "repeated and sustained outreach" to pressure the company to remove content, according to the Washington Times. They characterized this pressure as "unacceptable and wrong".
Reversal of Policies: YouTube is now offering reinstatement to creators who were banned under these policies, which have since been phased out. The company had already relaxed its rules on COVID-19 and election integrity misinformation in 2023 and 2024, respectively."

Kinda surprised no media has duplicated the event . Seems like a no-brainer
escalator safety switches.
Junkie: I love Marco, especially after his homily at the Kirk (z''l) memorial, but up against Moore he will come off as a Dukakis-like nerd. Cubans are not Mexicans or pre-US Southwestern Hispanics - I don't know how many CA or NM Hispanics would vote for him either.
JD only has to change the emphases of Hillbilly Elegy ever so slightly to show how much his story resembles poor blacks'. Unlike Hillary and Commie-Lay, he can code-switch to dialect he actually once used. And the MAGA platform has a pretty serious urban jobs and safety plank. Are you sure he will do that badly among blacks? CC, JSM
If NATO is not at war with Russia, then one wonders what the term “at war” actually means?
But look for the Europeans to try to inflate this statement of an obvious truth into a pretext to keep America in Europe, which is not in our national interest.

Its about how the USSR was "at war" with the US during the Cold War. During Vietnam say.
The forever whining ,always blaming someone else fella accuses UN of sabatoge when its his own incompetent people.
BBC reports An escalator used by Donald Trump abruptly stopped because of a safety mechanism that had been triggered by his videographer, the United Nations has said.
The videographer had been travelling backwards up the escalator to capture the US president's arrival with First Lady Melania Trump and "may have inadvertently triggered the safety function" upon reaching the top, a UN spokesperson said.
Trump jokingly referred to the incident during his Tuesday speech at the UN building, saying: "If the First Lady wasn't in great shape, she would've fallen."
The White House had raised concerns that someone deliberately stopped the escalator as the couple were stepping on.
"If someone at the U.N. intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X after the incident.
Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN Secretary General António Guterres, said the videographer reached the top of the escalator as the president and first lady mounted the steps at the bottom.
"At that moment (09:50am), the escalator came to a stop," Dujarric said.
A readout of the machine's central processing unit "indicated that the escalator had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator", he added.
The White House has not yet commented on the UN's findings.
After the escalator snafu, Trump ran into more technical difficulties as he began his speech to the UN General Assembly.
He opened by saying the teleprompter was not working - although it was restored towards the end of his address.
"I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble," he said.
A UN official later told the BBC the White House was operating the teleprompter at the time, bringing their own laptops and plugging them into the UN's system.
The official said this was because they would know the speed at which to run the text for the president. The MAGA knuckleheads wont believe anything beause their emperor always blames someone else. He loves the uneducated and his sycophants dearly and they worship under his feet. No spines and love alternative facts..
Duck dynasty.
Sounds like Trump is greenlighting NATO to escalate against Russia in the Ukraine:
NEW YORK CITY — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that NATO allies should shoot down Russian aircraft encroaching on their airspace, and walked back earlier support for Russia to keep the Ukrainian territory it has won.
“I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” he wrote on social media shortly after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
