Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 6h

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

Something that I think people need to consider is that when Pinochet lost the 1990 referendum he refused to cede power and ordered his military to rally and oppress the people. Pinochet had full unilateral control of the military with no meaningful legal checks. He wrote their paychecks.

And now, a few things that have been on my mind, but not enough to fill up their own posts.

ain’t it fun

Grace Helbig is returning to YouTube. She made a video about it, and said something that resonated with me: we start out doing something because it is fun, and we keep doing it because we enjoy how fun it is. If we’re lucky, the thing we are doing for fun...

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

OTD in 2002 🇺🇦 began decommissioning its nuclear capable Tu-22 strategic bombers & Kh-22 cruise missiles, as per the Budapest memo.

30 bombers & 230 missiles were destroyed over 2 & half years in exchange for promise 🇷🇺 would never invade.

But you can believe our promises now

Trump to Milei: "Do you need any Tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess, because in this country they use Tomahawks on the opposition. I don't do that. I'm much nicer. The Democrats would use them if they had the chance. They're sick people."

“There is a lone and broken Russian submarine limping home from patrol. What a change from the 1984 Tom Clancy novel The Hunt for Red October. Today, it seems more like The Hunt for the Nearest Mechanic.”

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”
