  1. To the Establishment shills holding this up…

    “@LeaderJohnThune we are not asking you to “nuke” the filibuster. We are asking that you return the filibuster to its original intent or what is known as the “talking filibuster.” The Senate was never designed in a way that bills could die without even a minute of debate. Return to the original intent of the filibuster and pass the SAVE (AMERICA) Act. More than 80% of Americans support voter I.D. and it is time Republicans got it done.

    Your continued refusal to return the Senate and the use of the filibuster to its original intent so we can pass the SAVE (AMERICA) Act will have consequences and force us in the House to use every leverage we have to get it passed one way or another. You can be the Senate Majority Leader that gets this done. We are counting on you!!”

    “SAVE Act cosponsors explode to 49 out of 53 GOP Senators!

    Report just dropped – 49 Republican Senators now cosponsoring S.128, the SAVE Act demanding proof of citizenship and voter ID for federal elections – massive momentum for election integrity!

    Holdouts are the usual RINO suspects: Collins in Maine, Murkowski in Alaska, McConnell in Kentucky, Thune in South Dakota – why are these four blocking what 83% of Americans want?

    Dems and weak-kneed Republicans shaking cuz clean elections mean no more cheat – pressure these four hard, primary the traitors, pass SAVE Act now!”

  2. Looks like Canada has a gun problem…..

    Oh wait, no, they have a trans shooter problem, same as US.

    And note the pathetic nonsense from the police. They should be embarrassed.

    “BREAKING UPDATE: The Tumbler Ridge school shooter is Jesse Strang – a trans biological male. Uncle confirmed to Juno News.

    10 dead. How many more before we talk about the epidemic of Trans Violence?

    It wasn’t a Gun Person… it was a GUNMAN”

    “Breaking: RCMP Staff Sgt. Kris Clark refuses to name the Tumbler Ridge school shooter — citing PRIVACY REASONS

    When it’s a trans homicidal maniac behind a mass killing, suddenly privacy trumps victims families knowing the truth.

    Peak Liberalism”

  3. “Democrat Intelligence Committee staffers turned whistleblowers testified under oath exposed that while sitting in classified meetings, Adam Schiff and his buddy Eric Swalwell, approved leaking classified information in an effort to trigger a special counsel or Select Committee in Congress to overthrow the United States government.”

  4. For anyone who still gives Wikipedia any credibility….

    https://x.com/i/status/2021529896733016484

    “Epstein’s associate Al Seckel hacking Wikipedia to replace his mug shot, scrub the “sex offender” label, and rebrand him as “businessman, philanthropist.”

    They even recorded the IPs of anyone who tried to edit it back and blocked them out.

    And people still trust Wikipedia as a source.

    File number: EFTA02416819″

  5. Its always bizarre but interesting to see how other countries or people interpret world news in their own context.

    The name of the shooter wasn’t released right away because Cdn cops wait til the initial investigation is done and family members are notified in the case of a death including that of a suspect. Standard procedure.

    Gun control is not an issue here. First, gun control works — this is the first mass school shooting in Canada in over a decade. Second, this was a small mountain town — everyone goes hunting and everyone owns a gun.

    The majority of mass shooters are still young white males. Usually, they are said to have mental health issues or reacting to bullying. Now, if this shooter was trans should we not focus on mental health or bullying as opposed to trans just to be consistent?

  6. From yesterday;

    I would take anything the Palm Beach police department says with a grain of salt. They are the ones who gave Epstein the sweetheart deal in the first place — Acosta who later became Sec’y of Labour. Guiffre in her book mentions the police were said to be in Epstein’s pocket. The rot extends to police departments elsewhere too

    From the files, it’s evident Epstein and Trump still kept in contact either directly or via Bannon well into Trump’s first term. Both Bannon and Lutnick are still in the Trump admin despite it being obvious they stuck with Epstein well into the 2010s

    I’m not sure why anyone needs to yell at Massie to reveal names. The names are redacted because of Bondi. Without a complicit DOJ covering up the perpetrators names, Massie wouldn’t have to do anything. Besides Bondi, we have Patel and Blanche saying there’s nothing more to do. Patel said to Congress there were no co-conspirators yet the files point out that’s an obvious lie — Wexner for one was heavily involved and with a little bit of work, more names should pop up. Blanche of course had a nice cordial conversation with Maxwell and then moved her to Club Fed. If Trump et al, truly cared and truly were against Epstein, Lutnick and Bannon would be banned from the White House.

    For me, the interesting thing about the files is the conferences and conversations among the academic, finiancial and political elite about mass society control. Its obvious they feared a French Revolution, Red Decade or 60s student revolt type scenario given the vast disparities of wealth. They cited left wing criticism of consumers approvingly. Essentially they said left wing critics were correct but it was actually a good thing and they should work to make it better. One email commented that they should thank Jay Z for providing the distraction and promoting mass consumption so the masses wouldn’t revolt. Put another way, they read 1984 and Brave New World and viewed it not as a warning but as an owner’s manual.

    Another interesting side note to the files is the presence of the founder of 4chan. Qanon and Pizzagate both orginate in the murky world of 4chan — one wonders if those in charge of 4chan fed the stories to create a conspiracy theory narrative so no-one would take the files seriously when they did emerge. An attempt at a counter-narrative so to speak. A bit weird but at this point anything is possible.

  7. US steel production

    US steel production is actually lower than it was in 2019 – 2021. It’s been floating around the 80 million tons mark for the last decade with very little change. Fairly steady, no change, tariffs or no tariffs — Biden actually kept the Trump term one tariffs.

    It surpassed the Japanese steel production because Japan steel production has been in a steady decline for the last decade. On the other hand, Indian steel production is really taking off.

    From what I remember the strength of US and Canadian steel production is not quantity but the quality of speciality steel products. Neither country can compete against the mass production of India and China.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_steel_production

    Btw, wikipedia is a fairly good source for basic information. Sure, people will play around with their own biography but they usually get caught and eventually corrected — and then humiliated for attempting to do it.

  8. I remember the good old days, when Rs celebrated this.

    But Trump….

    https://x.com/i/status/2021587596090990684

    “THIS is the real story out of today’s jobs report – Trump was handed an economy that was losing private sector jobs and adding gov’t payrolls, but he successfully flipped the script, and one year later it’s all private sector growth while cutting gov’t jobs:”
