Contacts After Buying Twitter

Gavin Newsom and leading Democrats have spent the last few days fulminating about "authoritarianism" by Donald Trump for sending National Guard and Marine units to protect federal law enforcement agents and sites. What will they have to say when they discover that the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice spied on an industrialist supporter of the opposition party? Oh, wait, Trump didn't do that. Joe Biden did that. For two years, according to the Wall Street Journal, Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas surveilled Elon Musk and his contacts to check out "influence."

That's what a totalitarian administration would do, and it's what the Democrats have more in store for everyone if they return to power in DC. Surveilled a private person who bought a company with his own money, but the problem was it was the company that the Democrats were using to control the message and restrict speech, shadow ban people, de-platform people, etc. They had people moving from that company to DC and from DC to that company like a revolving door.

I think the scenario went like this...Staffers told Joey that he needed to do something about Musk Buying Twitter, He Grunted with his wide eye glassy look. They didn't hear a Yes, so they said, "Hey do you want some Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, and of course he perked up and said YES. They wrote that down as his answer and then they made up the action..........Joey sat and ate his Ice Cream and had NO CLUE!

Joe Biden never met a dirty trick he didn't relish. Even with dementia he had two rictus grins: one was fake the other was genuine as he feasted on abusing his office.

I think there's a lot more to find out about Elon Musk...before he got attached to President Trump and after....he needs some quiet time with his companies...and away from the Oval Office....he has performed a great service to US...and WE will aways appreciate him for that....time to move on to another challenge...like Mars...away from the vicious Washington DC crowd...even President Trump's first term left him overwhelmed at times...but...this time...he's ready for them....

New: Trump Gives Bombshell 1AM Presser,

Despite the opposition he's receiving from ostensibly "right-wing" figures, including Tucker Carlson, President Donald Trump is not backing down. On Monday evening, Axios and CNN reported that the White House was already working toward a "ceasefire" deal that would presumably save the Mullahs, but at 1:00 AM on Tuesday, the president held a press gaggle, slapping down those anonymously-sourced reports. It sure sounds like he wants Israel to finish the job and take this to an actual end, not just a resumption of the status quo under some "deal." Trump went so far as to say that Iran "giving up entirely" is the goal and that “I’m not too

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden. This wasn’t just foreign meddling—it was industrial-scale fraud, enabled by a broken mail-in voting system the Democrats have long been exploiting. The report confirms what many of us suspected all along: the integrity of the 2020 election wasn’t just compromised—it was hijacked.

President Trump has come out swinging against "Kooky" Tucker Carlson after the podcaster and former Fox News host predicted the demise of Trump's presidency if the United States were to get involved in the escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran. While Trump and Carlson have seemed chummy at times in recent years, Carlson rather infamously texted a friend back in 2021 of his eagerness to see the backside of the president, saying, "I hate him passionately." Things between the two got very heated Monday after Carlson appeared on Steve Bannon's "War Room" show and claimed Iran would be the president's ultimate downfall. Despite claiming to "really love Trump"

President Donald Trump is cutting short his attendance at the Group of Seven summit in Canada, the White House said Monday night, citing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. “Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X. A White House official told NBC News earlier that Trump wouldn’t sign a joint statement at the G7 pressing to de-escalate the conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump later said in a Truth Social post that Tehran's 10 million residents should evacuate the city "immediately."

TEL AVIV, Israel — President Donald Trump on Monday posted on his social media site an ominous message calling for the immediate evacuation of the Iranian capital of Tehran while he’s in Canada attending the G7 summit. Trump had said more than once during the day that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. He emphasized that again in his social media post, writing “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.” He said Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ he told them to sign to prevent what he said was “a shame, and waste of human life,” referring to Israel’s attack last week.

In politics and government, “clever” is not always synonymous with “good.” But when it comes to the matter of the Trump administration’s handling of military bases that had been renamed during the Biden era, the policy is both clever and satisfactory. Back in the summer of 2023, on the recommendation of a congressionally mandated commission, the Biden Department of Defense renamed nine major military bases that had originally been named for Confederate military leaders: Fort Benning, Ga.; Fort Bragg, N.C.; Fort Gordon, Ga.; Fort A.P. Hill, Va.; Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Lee, Va.; Fort Pickett, Va.; Fort Polk, La.; and Fort Rucker, Ala.

The Israel Defense Forces revealed that Israeli strikes against targets in Iran reduced the regime’s ability to fire ballistic missiles at the Jewish state by half. That’s a marked curtailment of the main capability with which the Iranian military has retaliated against Israel and threatened its civilian population. Israeli leaders view the destruction of Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal as a top goal alongside that of degrading the regime’s nuclear enrichment capabilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are "on the way to victory" against the dangers posed by Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. During a visit to the Tel Nof Airbase near Rehovot, Israel, where he was joined by Defense Minister Israel Katz, Netanyahu said: Today, we are advancing toward our two main objectives: neutralizing the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat. The Israeli Air Force controls the skies over Tehran. This is a game changer in the entire campaign. We are on the way to victory, and this is made possible thanks to our heroic pilots.

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing officials. The report quotes officials as saying that Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the US doesn’t join the hostilities. They also sent messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

A long list of Hollywood celebrities took to the streets Saturday as tens of thousands of mostly white, older Americans joined the “No Kings” protests in many big, deep-blue cities. Celebs including Mark Ruffalo, Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Cryer, and more were seen mixing with the hoi polloi in places like New York City and Los Angeles. For instance, Disney and Marvel Studios star Mark Ruffalo, who was seen parading with actress Susan Sarandon, turned out on the streets of New York City to join the anti-Trump crowds. “We see a president who has made himself a king and a dictator,” Ruffalo absurdly declared at the rally.

Intraparty fighting is threatening to stall the Democratic Party’s efforts to rebuild seven months after President Trump’s sweeping general election victory. The party has also been roiled by revelations and questions about the last months of former President Biden’s administration and whether he was in the midst of a cognitive decline. They also will have to contend with a number of high-profile primaries in the year ahead. And ousted Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg has been at the center of controversy, using his political group to challenge incumbent House Democrats.

In a Sunday evening Truth Social post, President Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to "do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History," first focusing on "our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role." The move is a bit of a departure from a post that Trump made on Thursday, in which he shocked supporters by announcing that "changes are coming" to the administration's "very aggressive immigration policy." Trump noted that farmers and people in the hospitality industry

AUSTIN, Texas — Juneteenth celebrations have been scaled back this year due to funding shortfalls as companies and municipalities across the country reconsider their support for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Canceled federal grants and businesses moving away from so-called brand activism have hit the bottom line of parades and other events heading into Thursday’s federal holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. The shrinking financial support coincides with many companies severing ties with LGBTQ celebrations for Pride this year and President Donald Trump’s efforts to squash DEI programs throughout the federal government.

There’s a narrative being pushed heavily by Democrat leaders and the media that the protests over the weekend were basically nonviolent and peaceful. I would argue that if you have to brag about that, that’s telling in of itself, but in this day and age, it also means it’s probably not entirely true. (Snip) In fact, there is footage of a bunch of “protesters” attacking a car in Los Angeles. The driver, who had every reason to be fearful, drove through them, running over one of the women attacking the vehicle. [Tweet, video] It remains to be seen what will happen in this case.

It’s strange how I keep being told by the regime media and Democrat political flunkies, to the limited extent that those are different things, about how I didn’t vote for what Donald Trump is doing to illegal aliens. I keep hearing about how I don’t want ICE raiding Home Depots, factories, and non-Beatles strawberry fields or sending away 30-year illegal aliens or illegal alien honor students. I’m told that Donald Trump only promised to deport criminal aliens – in the sense that they committed other crimes besides the crime they committed by being illegal aliens – and that Trump can’t actually send criminal aliens away either.

He also predicted that if protesters throw bricks or bottles or point guns at police officers, the department will “kill you graveyard dead.” But Lizzo did not grasp the sheriff’s message, and instead claimed that Ivey was saying that he would “kill anyone who exercises their First Amendment right to protest,”

Israeli warplanes struck the headquarters of Iran’s state television network, IRIB, during a live news bulletin. The broadcast was interrupted by a deafening explosion that sent smoke and debris billowing through the studio — forcing the anchor to abandon her desk mid-sentence and flee as the line went dead. More from News 18: It comes after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the “Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappearing.” The Iranian media said the explosion happened while a presenter was delivering a live on-air criticism of Israel. Moments later, she was seen leaving the broadcast, with footage of the incident widely circulated online.
