Sometimes I think about Jamie Leigh Jones, gang raped in Baghdad when she was 19 by a bunch of KBR employees who never saw a day in jail because contractors had carte blanche for crimes in Iraq. KBR even sued her for $2m in court costs.

Anyway, I guess Iran bombed their regional HQ in Basra today.

I've always thought A&M is just Bob Jones University with a better PR team.

Adherence to the Constitution & the law. Adherence to the truth - we were told after last year’s bombing that Iran’s nuke program was β€œobliterated.” Opposition to regime change - it’s not our right to tell another sovereign nation who should govern them. That’s just a start John.

The NYT bemoaning the destruction of US scientific institutions is peak irony. This is like the Menendez brothers crying about being orphans.

A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them.

I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran.

So here goes nothing. 🧡

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

And I'm still convinced the primary reason everyone started focusing on it was to shift the national debate away from MeToo and the growing awareness of child predators in elite circles.

Newsom's campaign platform amounts to "stop being welcoming to marginalized groups and start being nicer to pedophiles."

If somebody attempts a coup, and then they’re not held accountable by elites and institutions, the public will draw the conclusion that it’s not a big deal.

This is why I don't trust any reporter or writer who has "New York Times" on their resume.

Fun fact: the NYT editorial board has more than one member listed in the Epstein files, and as participants in email correspondence with Epstein.

They're fulfilling their directive to undermine the United States' alliances. The current US administration is made up of Russian agents.

It cost Harris the election. All the Harris campaign had to do was actually call out Israel for their war crimes and none of this would be happening right now.

I think it's blame the other side for what you are doing.
"Both sides are accusing the other. Just ignore it."
"Everyone gets impeached. That's just politics"

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

Bonus points because Kentucky doesn't actually overlap with the prairie.

Literally the only thing I worry about when my son eventually goes off on his own is a driver running him over. That’s it.

When this madness is over, we're going to need a 2nd House Un-American Activities Committee, and being active on X after Elon took over should definitely be one of the criteria for investigation.

In the last twenty-four hours, a powerful winter storm has dropped between 1 to 3 feet of snow in Sierra Nevada.

The heavy snow exacerbated conditions for dangerous avalanches, especially in the Lake Tahoe region where the heaviest snowfall occurred.

The NYT is a trash rag, owned by a trash family and staffed by trash people. Don't trust anyone working or associated with the New York Times in 2026.

At this point I assume anyone actively on X today is firmly in the pedophile camp.
