Just a dot of blue in a sea of red here in AR.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

BLOOMBERG: “Flawed intelligence, outdated imagery, overreliance on A.I. contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab… Within hours Pentagon personnel knew 🇺🇸 was responsible…” 😳

Inside the US ‘Kill Chain’ That Destroyed an Iranian School

Pentagon investigators have discovered that flawed intelligence, outdated imagery and an overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab.

He’s not looking at a placard about lowering grocery prices. He’s not looking at a placard about end the Iran War. He’s not looking at a placard about reining in AI or ending the Canadian Trade War or expanding healthcare. He’s focused on what he thinks matters most: His grievances.

"Good times. Great memories." -- Fox & Friends' tribute to Karoline Leavitt is just a supercut of her being a condescending jerk to reporters. Imagine being proud of acting like this.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

Trump is putting his fucking signature on American money. No president in U.S. history has done this. Because normal presidents don’t need to BRAND THE FUCKING DOLLAR. Your money. Your country. His ego. This isn’t patriotism. It’s a narcissistic personality disorder with a printing press.

There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

Sometimes, you just have to go outside and watch the #hummingbird feeders. We haven't seen as many this year compared to the past few years, but the ones we do see are loyal to us. 😀They come back every day.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
