Usually X makes me think the democratization of media was a mistake, the people are too dumb and ideologically poisoned to be trusted But then you see US legacy media desperately try to astroturf this CCP shill and you remember how we got here
By the way, how often does a member of the Chinese Olympic team get featured on the cover of Time magazine's Olympics issue in the US?

Better said than I could
Gimme a break. How many innocent civilians did Obama kill with drone attacks in Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria? When Democrats controlled House and Senate in 1989, no one argued Bush didn't have the authority to capture Noriega (under similar pretenses used to capture

A regime change war in Latin America based on absurd rationales about drug trafficking, no explanation of goals, and counter to everything Trump promised campaigning. And we’re not even a full year into Trump’s term.

The US has known for decades that any attempt to expand NATO to Ukraine would provoke a Russian response. Biden and Victoria Nuland wanted that. CIA Director Gates told Condi Rice this in a 2008 memo. And newly released transcripts of Putin and Bush's 2008 meeting contain this:
Some awesome Putin-Bush stuff here by @NSArchive:

Free speech guarantees don’t mean a reporter has the right to run any story she chooses in defiance of her editor. Holding a story until it is fit to air is the editor’s job. Administration complaints that this CBS reporter is irremediably dishonest have considerable merit.

People are such morons. This letter was postmarked August 13, 2019 -- after Epstein was dead -- and was sent from Northern Virginia. Other than that, totally legit
From newly released Epstein files, a letter allegedly from Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar in prison around the time of Epstein's death: “Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls.”

Deep State warmongers and their Propaganda Media are again trying to undermine President Trump’s efforts to bring peace to Ukraine—and indeed Europe—by falsely claiming that the ‘U.S. intelligence community’ agrees to and supports EU/NATO viewpoint that Russia’s aim is to

Just a heads up, it's OK to be sad about Rob Reiner's death without letting everyone know that you "didn't agree with this politics". No one gives a fuck.

Might also be significant that this exchange seems to involve a meeting in Paris, and that Trump was President of the United States at the time. Somebody might have noticed.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: In a 2017 Email from what appears to be an Epstein victim the woman writes "I m at the door but I will wait for my time..I don't want to come early to find Trump in your house". Significant given that Trump has long claimed he cut off Epstein years before 2017.

Told you so. SCOTUS has no appetite to revisit same-sex marriage.

Every time a liberal has said a book is banned in the the last 30 years, what they’ve actually meant is “local governments chose not to purchase my books for school libraries using taxpayer money”
I am now the most banned author in the United States--87 books. May I suggest you pick up one of them and see what all the pissing & moaning is about? Self-righteous book banners don't always get to have their way. This is still America, dammit.

The maddening thing is that if Google had chosen to stand up to the Biden administration jawboning, they definitely would have gotten standing, and I believe they would have won. Instead we got the terrible Murthy v. Missouri decision (in which I do think there was more than
Google should not have waited to acknowledge it was pressured by the Biden administration to block content on its platforms. Google condemns jawboning now, but it failed to stand up for the rights of its users when it mattered. FIRE will continue to call on private institutions

This will be an iconic moment for Charlie Kirk's supporters. And seriously an impressive thing for his widow to do publicly.
Erika Kirk: "My husband Charlie he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life...On the cross, our savior said, 'Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.' That young man. I forgive him."

Also, I have no use for the leftists claiming the Kimmel cancellation makes them greater victims than the man who was shot for his articulating his views, and the family he left behind.

I have to agree the FCC overstepped its bounds by pressuring the cancellation of Kimmel, but it's totally different from Biden-era pressure on social media companies. The Kimmel cancellation was based on corporate interests, not silencing the dissent of ordinary people.

A man was just shot for his beliefs and Democrats are really out here with “first they came for Jimmy” signs. Are you people fucking nuts? Where have you all been for the last decade while people were debanked, deplatformed, and canceled??? You were cheering for it. That’s where.

If Carr had exercised just a little bit of discretion, there would be no ambiguity at all around the sequence of events that unfolded last night. But all the players in this drama seem to like the heightened state of national apprehension they’ve encouraged.
