Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

If you want to know what the plan is, traitorous stooge Machado told the America Business Forum back in November: privatizing oil to the tune of $1.7 trillion. She said the same thing at a Saudi forum. It’s remarkable how little pretense there is. youtu.be/l2J2JtO8R9Q?...

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?
Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.

A new member of my local City Council will be sworn into office Monday. I ran his campaign.
He ran because the only other candidate was unacceptable to him— and, turns out, to others too
He had never run for office before and I’d never run a campaign
But we won —and now we need to keep doing it

Truly impressive that LSU found a coach even more petty and unlikable than Brian Kelly. #cfp
“If Kiffin refuses to let his LSU assistants continue to help Ole Miss toward a championship, it will seem as if Kiffin’s goal was to enhance LSU’s chances in the looming tug-o-war for Ole Miss players.”

The chaos that continues to engulf college football has a new wrinkle -- the LSU assistants Lane Kiffin has loaned to Ole Miss may not be available in six days, when Ole Miss faces Miami in the CFP semifinal.

Lane Kiffin's LSU assistants may not be on loan to Ole Miss for next round of CFP
Maybe Lane Kiffin didn't think Ole Miss would make it this far.

Trinidad Chambliss and his success is such a great story. Can’t help but pull for him.
As a former Hoosier & IU alum & long time ☘️ fan, cool to see Hoosiers win the Rose Bowl & former ND center Pat Coogan win the offensive mvp.
Still think nothing would mean more to Hoosiers that another 🏀 title.

More honest and refreshing engagement with ZM’s politics and platform than every establishment dem.
Sliwa makes Schumer, Jeffries, etc. and the NY and national media look idiotic.

this is the most incredible interview i’ve ever read. the aei guy tries so hard to get sliwa to trash mamdani and he simply won’t. he also brings up flaco (rip) unprompted.

![How would you describe Mamdani's politics?
He's not a communist. People call him that. That's ridiculous. He is a democratic socialist. David Dinkins [New York mayor from 1990-93] was a democratic socialist. We've had a long history in New York City of socialism.
What's the biggest challenge Mamdani faces as mayor!
I don't think the Zohranistas totally understand the fiscal irresponsibility we just went through with the Adams years and how little money there's left.
There's not enough money to do all the things that Zohran wants to do.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreic7pxra6vmrjmqo4jmw4vdagiluj6xtkovqb3f4ex7fc55m7pzaxu@jpeg)
