It may be relevant to note that this Home Depot is not inside MacArthur (not McArthur) park but four blocks away in a busy commercial area. So even if this MS-13 nonsense were true, it’s not relevant to this situation.

Candace Owens admitted that she learned of the conspiracy that Bridgette Macron is a man from a Daily Mail story--which debunked the conspiracy and had layers of proof that Macron was in fact a woman. Owens not only lied, she recycled a stale conspiracy created by someone else.

Found a long twitter thread in Spanish last night blaming Jeffrey Epstein’s death on former Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Truly a one size fits all conspiracy!.

Esto es la pura verdad, aunque no haya un papel que lo demuestre. En este país, la verdad no necesita pruebas, porque todos sabemos cómo funciona la rosca. Epstein, Néstor, Nisman, todo está conectado por la misma mano negra de Cristina y su séquito.

I spoke to @realchrisrufo about Trump's new EO "Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Govt." Chris Rufo, known for his activism against DEI, told me he helped draft it by providing a definition of Woke, which he joked "made it through legal."

For those who think Trump has convinced Coke to abandon corn syrup, note that Pepsi has been selling a sugar version since 2009 and guess what? It's also still (mostly) selling corn syrup Pepsi.
