  1. “The Houthis just blew up the Greek-flagged oil tanker Sounion in the Red Sea, spilling 150,000 barrels of oil—4 times worse than the Exxon Valdez disaster. The current administration’s weakness in the Middle East is hurting America, the environment, and oil prices. When oil tankers are being blown up, what’s the real existential threat: the environment or war?”

    The Biden/Harris admin’s weakness on the world stage continues to have consequences.

  2. As Bernie said, the establishment forced RFK out in his run against Biden. Those who claimed that Pres. Trump is a threat to democracy kept RFK from running as a Democrat. It sure looks like the Dem Party is a threat to democracy. The forced removal of Biden reveals their disregard for the primary process and disenfranchised voters who voted for Biden.

    The Dem Party has sold out to the radical elitist agenda and is now quietly taking orders from those who have pledged to the WEF agenda – One World Government (i.e. One Communist Government).

    RFK deserved better treatment. Many of his comments and concerns mirror those of Pres. Trump, and this should be an awesome alliance. When RFK was asked whether he thought that Pres. Trump is a threat to democracy, he said no, it’s actually the Dems who are a threat to democracy.

  3. Quite a contrast from the kill them in the womb and mutilate their genitals as teens party.

    “PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I also want to salute Bobby’s decades of work as an advocate for the health of our families and children. Millions of Americans who want clean air, clean water, and a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our food.

    “That is why today I am repeating my pledge to establish a panel of top experts, working with Bobby, to investigate what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases, including auto-immune disorders, autism, obesity, infertility, and more.”

    “We want every child in America to grow up to live long and healthy lives.””

  4. “CARVILLE: “I keep hearing Trump talking about rising crime. I don’t know what he’s talking about.”

    Here you go, @JamesCarville: Crime is up 25% across 66 major U.S. cities. Kamala has presided over 3 of the 4 most murderous years of the last quarter century. Illegals are raping and murdering our kids. 30 people were shot — and five died — last weekend ALONE in Chicago, where the DNC was held.”

  5. Tammy is correct.

    “An open letter to Kerry Kennedy:You people are awful. Despite your family’s checkered past and horrible behavior of so many of the men, Americans have stood with you out of loyalty, sentimentality, and too often, grief. Despite the questionable establishment of your family’s wealth, the treatment of Marilyn Monroe, the general womanizing, the abandonment of Mary Jo Kopechne to her death, allegations of rape, one could go on and on, but the point is your family has stayed loyal and protective of family members who have done the most appalling of things. But the moment one of your own acts on his conscience for this country you attempt to throw him to the wolves and publicly condemn him. Never a word for the trail of abused or abandoned women left behind by a Kennedy, but because one of your men supports Trump in an effort to make the lives of Americans better, that alone is beyond the pale. In your ugly treatment of your brother you reveal the rot that has broken the hearts of the American people so many times over the years. Beyond that, the economic destruction of American families is something your family would never truly understand. You are not touched by the worry about having enough gas to get to work, or whether or not you can afford eggs this week, if you’ll be safe walking your own neighborhood, or if your child will be safe in their urban public school or even if they will know how to read and write while collecting their diploma. You keep doing civil rights work and public service virtue signaling. But in the meantime, make a pledge to not keep doing damage as Americans are simply looking for a way to reclaim their own futures, the safety of their families, and knowing that maybe, just maybe, they can leave their children a little better off w a future they can rely on. The condition of this country should shock everyone, even if their name is Kennedy. We know it at least shocks one of you who, like us, has had enough of the fear and hopelessness assigned to us for generations. Americans are happy to see Bobby on our side as we refuse to comply and will not go gentle into the catastrophes to which we are expected to succumb. Instead, with Trump and all who join us, we will fight, fight, fight!”

  6. Elections have consequences, and America is weakened as a result.

    “White dudes from military families have always been the backbone of the military, and your government shunned and shamed them in favor of going after the “I had two moms and marched in pride parades” demographic.

    That’s working out exactly as you’d expect.”

  7. But it’s OK, they’re trying to save democracy or something….

    “The Harris team is pressuring Cornell West to drop out of the race.

    I’m telling you Democrats hate the actual Democratic process because they have done everything they can to take everybody off the ballot.

    They wanted Trump off the ballot.

    They wanted RFK off the ballot.

    They’re trying to stop from Stein being on the ballot.

    And here they are trying to tell Cornell West to get off the ballot.

    They refused to do an actual primary.”

  8. Kizzie @5:52. It surprises me to hear someone connecting (rightfully I believe) the Uni-Party and Citizens United. Citizens United was the SCOTUS case that gutted campaign finance reform and pretty much legalized political corruption for the foreseeable future. And it really surprises me that Chris Cuomo was the one speaking of these things. Too bad he didn’t bring it up when he had a platform, but better late than never, I guess. Someone with a voice needs to be saying these things.

  9. And of course we must not forget the warmongers of the GOP, for whom all wars are “necessary” and those who oppose them are “isolationists”.

    TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on a visit to Taiwan Saturday that an isolationist policy isn’t “healthy” and called on the Republican Party to stand with her country’s allies, while still putting in good words for the party’s nominee, Donald Trump.

    Haley, who ran against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, told reporters in the capital, Taipei, that supporting U.S. allies, including Ukraine and Israel, is vital. She underscored the importance of Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its territory, to be brought under control by force if necessary.

    “I don’t think the isolationist approach is healthy. I think America can never sit in a bubble and think that we won’t be affected,” she said.

    Was there ever a war they didn’t like?
