Huh. The zipper on my back does a similar thing.

Sakaithunder, a 3-year-old panda wearing overalls, is a YouTuber from Fukui Prefecture. If you open the zipper on her back, it leads to the demon world.

Anyone thinking that MTG going on The View is going to amount to fireworks and trainwreck TV hasn't seen the ladies of The View absolutely gush over her lately -- or missed MTG's interview with CNN, where Wolf Blitzer called her a "courageous politician" at the end.

This is gonna be a love fest.

Anyone who says that we aren't deep in the middle of a constitutional crisis isn't paying attention. It is here and it's incredibly serious.

Using his powers to extract tribute from foreign countries, "donors," etc. and then using those extraconstitutional slush funds to bypass the Constitution and the rule of law. Literally the opposite of originalism and a profound threat to the continuation of constitutional democracy in this country.

$550 billion in Japanese funding.
Directed by the President.
Outside Congress’s control.

My new @justsecurity.org piece explains how the agreement bypasses the Appropriations Clause and violates the laws that safeguard Congress’s power of the purse.

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."

Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake:

“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

A quick annotation for the perplexed:

*"Globalist class" = The Jews™

*"Their mouthpieces in Washington" = the people-puppets whose strings are pulled by The Jews™ and/or The Jews™ themselves.

If only someone or all of Jewish history had given the Jewish people any kind of warning about fascists.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

Tweet from John Podhoretz reading: "My mother was a Heritage board member for 40 years. You have befouled her, you rancid wretch of an amoeba."
quoting Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, tweeting: "There has been speculation that
@Heritage
is distancing itself from
@TuckerCarlson
over the past 24 hours.

I want to put that to rest right now—here are my thoughts:"

Tara Palmieri is a rightwinger. She built her career at Phil Anschutz’ DC Examiner & Rupert Murdoch’s NY Post. Her source network is rightwingers and she leans to the right. Is there much else to say?

She‘s lying abt being unbiased; it’s the Ailes ‘fair and balanced‘ schtick.

We had two stations in Eugene (sometimes 3 if the antenna was picking up the PBS station) in the pre-cable days. So even the rerun possibilities were sort of limited. Damon's wife was author Kate Wilhelm; along with a couple others, there was an outsized # of Hugo/Nebula winners in a town that size.

When I was a teenager, I hung out at Damon Knight's house with one of his kids, who was in my D&D group but I'd only ever heard about that episode because it aired before I was born and at the time (less then 20 years later) VCRs still weren't a big thing.

Pretty sure Gondor had farmers and all the other accoutrements of a country that needed food. As anyone who knows any history understands, some of those shirepeople become the 'hard' defenders of their land when needed. That's what happens in every major war.
