  2. “Headline: DOGE is slashing medical research funding.

    Reality: After you eliminate the bureaucratic and administrative skimming and kickbacks, actual medical research funding goes up.

    Headline: Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits are being taken away.

    Realty: Benefits and services to intended recipients go up after the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse.

    Rinse and repeat this theme across the entire government to the tune of trillions of dollars in savings and efficiencies.

    Any person who opposes DOGE at this point is dishonest, stupid, or mad because they are in on the grift.”

  4. “Elon Musk becomes deeply moved, and deadly serious, when Bret Baier asks him why he called Sen. Mark Kelly a “Traitor” for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine.

    Watch every second of his response.

    “We should have empathy for the thousands of people dying everyday in the trenches. For no movement in the lines. For the past two years thousands of people have died every week for nothing.”

    “I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can’t give into Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day.”

    “I have contempt for such people and I want to make that clear. Because they’re virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don’t have a father. It means parents lost a son. For what? Nothing.””

    “Adding more insult to injury, not only did @SenTomCotton Tom Cotton hire Trump hater @BillKristol’s son @JoeKristol to be his legislative director during the first Trump admin, but guess where Joe is now currently working, while his father, a huge Trump hater, is making a public push for Tom Cotton to replace @PeteHegseth as DOD Secretary?

    Joe Kristol works for Elliott Investment Management LP.

    Elliott Investment Management was founded by notorious billionaire Trump hater Paul Singer, who is the current President of EIM, out of Palm Beach, Florida.

    Paul Singer is the same billionaire who funded Fusion GPS in 2015 to piece together the infamous Steele Dossier, which was used in the Russia Collusion Hoax to undermine and stage a coup against President Trump.

    According to FEC records I found, Paul Singer has donated to Tom Cotton.

    Tom Cotton hired Joe Kristol. Tom Cotton hired Alex Wong. Tom Cotton referred Alex Wong to work at NSC under @MikeWaltz47.

    It appears that Tom Cotton has maintained close relationship with the Kristol family.

    “Things get really interesting when you look at all of these incestuous connections.

    You’d think someone would have caught this during vetting.

    Oh wait. There is no vetting.”

  6. “New WSJ:Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed.

    One of the meetings was a high-level discussion at the Pentagon between Hegseth and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey”

    “You don’t get to play this game after four years of Jill running things because her husband, the president, had mush for brains.”

    Suddenly the WSJ is concerned, but uttered not a peep when the Bidens did it. Selective outrage again, from the NTers.

  10. Lately, a common accusation here is that one conservative source or another which is now writing negative things about Trump never complained about Biden when he did something similar. Unless one has read – and remembered – every single article or editorial in those sources, that really cannot be affirmed. We tend to remember those things with which we disagree more often than the things we agree with.

    (BTW, someone has pointed out before that the WSJ editorials were indeed critical of Biden.)

    Unless I missed it, this piece from the Wall Street Journal does not specifically mention Jill Biden in meetings, but it does expose the things that were being done to cover up her husband’s failing cognitive abilities, and that she gave more campaign speeches than he did.

    ~ “How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge

    Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined.” ~

  11. Kizzie, was that written after the time or during the time? From the title it sounds like it was after he was in charge. I think things were fairly well covered up for Biden for much of his time in office. I think there were multiple reasons that happened, not just because Dems were giving him a free ride.

  12. The article was written in December 2024 when it was practically irrelevant to point those things out.

    The WSJ is basically neoconservative, so the are opposed to most MAGA policies, and probably the drama too. ( I agree about most of the drama.)

  13. “Hamas has tortured and executed a 22-year-old Palestinian who led protests against it in Gaza last week.

    The Times of Israel reported:

    Hamas operatives kidnapped, tortured and executed a 22-year-old Palestinian who participated in last week’s protests wave of protests against the terror group, according to his family.

    Oday Nasser Al Rabay’s body was left in front of his family’s home over the weekend.”

  15. Speaking of burning:

    “The headquarters for the Republican Party in New Mexico was targeted Sunday in what is being called “a deliberate act of arson,” leaving the entryway to the building destroyed.

    In a post on X, the Republican Party of New Mexico revealed the damage to the state’s GOP headquarters in Albuquerque also included the words “ICE=KKK” spray painted on a wall of the building. The attack was described as being “fueled by hatred and intolerance.”
