  1. THIS is CNN.

    “In the span of 48 hours, the CNN account, a CNN anchor, and a CNN senior reporter have all falsely suggested the terror attack last weekend was targeting Mamdani.

    The first two have been corrected, but a bad look when reps for a news network keep repeating same false claim.”

    —–

    Corrected by tweets on X, not on their website or TV broadcasts, so only a few of their viewers will actually know they’re being lied to.

  2. “BREAKING: CHATGPT HELPED THE SHOOTER KILL 8 KIDS!

    A teen in Canada used ChatGPT like her secret murder buddy for months.

    She told the AI all her evil plans to attack the school.

    OpenAI knew what she was doing the whole time. OpenAI has said it considered but didn’t alert police about the activities of the person who months later committed one of Canada’s worst school shootings.

    Now the parents of one hurt kid are suing OpenAI. They say ChatGPT was the shooter’s “trusted partner in crime”!

    The AI didn’t stop the killer… it actually HELPED her do it!

    This has to stop.

    Don’t let your loved ones use ChatGPT.”

  3. “The Coast Guard, which is part of the Navy, is not being funded because Schumer and Jeffries and their fellow congressional Democrats have blocked appropriations for it and TSA, FEMA, and the Secret Service.  And despite reports that the Iranian regime is potentially plotting to release drones from ships against our West Coast, the Democrats are putting this reckless PR effort ahead of our nation’s security.  The Democrat Party is doing everything possible to sabotage our war effort, even expose we, the people, to grave harm.”

  4. Best part, China knows this too, just like with the shoddy Chinese equipment Venezuela used.

    “CHINA SECRETLY ARMED IRAN WITH $5 BILLION IN WEAPONS →EVERY SINGLE ONE FAILED 🚨

    A secret oil-for-weapons deal between China and Iran has been exposed by Reuters. Beijing raided its own People’s Liberation Army inventory to fast-track delivery before the war started.

    Process that.

    WHAT IRAN RECEIVED:

    → 50 CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles – China’s “carrier killer,” $290km range

    → 6 HQ-16B surface-to-air missile systems

    → 3 HQ-9B anti-ballistic missile systems

    → 50 HQ-19 anti-satellite interceptor missiles

    → 1,200 FN-6 MANPADS

    → 300 Sunflower-200 kamikaze drones

    → 4 YLC-9B radars + 3 Type 305A radars + 6 SLC-2 counter-battery radars$5 BILLION. Pulled from China’s own military stockpile.

    WHAT HAPPENED:

    → US-Israeli strikes destroyed the ENTIRE stockpile on DAY ONE

    → CM-302 missiles launched at US Navy – ZERO hits

    → Some malfunctioned mid-flight. Others intercepted by SM-3 and SM-6

    → 100% failure rate. Not a single US warship scratched.

    💀 China’s “world’s best anti-ship missile” = couldn’t hit a destroyer

    💀 CM-302 has NO data link, NO satellite guidance, NO active terminal tracking

    💀 Once launched it flies BLIND — and the US Navy knew it

    💀 $5 BILLION in Chinese weapons = DESTROYED in hours

    ⚠️ China denied the deal publicly. Reuters confirmed it.

    ⚠️ This violates the UN weapons embargo reimposed last September

    ⚠️ China pulled weapons from its OWN military – meaning its Pacific fleet is now WEAKER

    They’re showing you Iran’s missile launches and calling it a threat.

    They’re NOT showing you that China armed Iran with its best weapons → and they ALL failed against American destroyers.

    You don’t secretly arm a country with $5 billion in weapons from your own military unless you’re betting on them winning.

    China bet everything on Iran. And lost.

    Prepare accordingly.”

  5. I can’t help but chuckle that so many rubes and NTers fell for this BS, all the while telling us what good, fine, patriots these frauds were.

    https://x.com/i/status/2031754029588512790

    “I know nothing shocks us anymore, but step back for a moment and think about this.

    The FBI hired activist journalists to push false Russia collusion narratives. It then used those stories to perpetuate the hoax, obtain warrants, and keep the whole operation moving, never disclosing that the FBI itself had put the narratives into circulation in the first place. And the objective was to remove a duly elected president.

    So it is not good enough to quietly fire this or that agent, as seems to have happened in dribs and drabs. The next Democratic administration can simply rehire these people or others just like them, which means nothing is actually fixed.

    There needs to be full transparency about everything that was done by Comey, Mueller, Wray, and the rest of them. That is the only way to ensure it never happens again.”

  6. But muh norms….

    https://x.com/i/status/2032090878487969908

    “In February 2021, DC Chief Judge Beryl Howell created guidance for how DC judges could determine pretrial detention for J6ers—U.S. citizens.

    Known as the “Chrestman rules,” named after a J6er allegedly tied to the Oath Keepers, Howell established 6 factors for judges to consider before granting Biden DOJ’s pretrial detention motions. Those factors included “pre-planning” to attend the protest and language used by the defendant.

    That framework helped keep nonviolent protesters in jail for an indefinite amount of time—until a trial could be held, conviction secured, and sentence imposed.

    It was the first time an entire set of unknown defendants—let alone political protesters—were subject to special rules that didn’t apply to anyone else.”

  7. Damn that Hegseth and his unprecedented use of tax dollars on lobster!

    Or, same as it ever was… and this yet another pathetic attempt to hinder Trump and the war effort by Democrats and NTers.

    https://x.com/i/status/2031919381857411370

    “TMZ followed by several different other “news” sites (I use that term lightly) published a story with this all caps headline “PETE HEGSETHBLEW BILLION$ ON FRUIT BASKETS, LOBSTER” accompanied by a photo with him, surrounded by a bunch of plastic lobsters.

    If you’ve never covered the military, or served, or if you don’t have any family or friends in the military this would seem like a shocking story.

    But it’s not–not even remotely. It is a common practice for our country to provide these special meals to our service men and women at least once a week–Has been for decades.

    I did my due diligence to prove my point to anyone who doubts my accuracy — in 2009 when Robert Gates was the secretary defense during the Obama administration I present you with a story from a reporter who was embedded with the soldiers in Afghanistan.

    “The lobsters and crab legs are shipped from the United States and driven down on a refrigerated truck from Bagram. On seafood night, the crew serves up 400 of the tasty tails, 130 pounds of Alaskan King crab legs, and 135 pounds each of shrimp and scallops.”

    Here is the link: dvidshub.net/news/519652/re…

    And here is a story from 2024

    when Lloyd Austin was the secretary of defense and Joe Biden was the president of the United States.

    “The military spent $103.7 million on meat, fish and poultry, including $16.6 million on ribeye steak and 147 orders of lobster tail for $6.1 million.

    Orders of blueberries, ice cream and doughnuts also exceeded $100,000.”

    I am once again disappointed with the lack of balance and context in my profession. Deeply embarrassed and disappointed in members of Congress, who were tweeting this out. Why? Well because how is it that they don’t know this?

    You may or may not like who is the current president of the United States, but your obsession should not make something that is both a norm but also a show of gratefulness for our soldiers, an outrage to satisfy your unhappiness.”

  8. Well that’s odd…🤔

    David French has assured me that’s he’s an example of a real Christian, so why would he need to purge the unclean lefties from his website?

    “James Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the U.S. Senate race in Texas, has quietly removed the endorsement page from his campaign website. The page formerly featured a slew of endorsements from the most radical of Texas outlets and a wide-array of far-left organizations across the state.”

  9. Is the first post denying that a school was hit at all or only questioning the number of students killed? (If the latter, any number of students killed, even inadvertently, would be a tragedy.)

  11. Minor fact check on @9:10. ““The Coast Guard, which is part of the Navy…”

    The Coast Guard is not part of the Navy, and not even in the Department of Defense. It was originally under Treasury, moved to Transportation in 1967, and to Homeland Security in 2002.

    It has been placed under Navy control in wartime, but returned to its former status afterward.

    Regardless of where it lives, blocking funding for it sounds like a really bad idea right now.

  12. As I mentioned earlier, the strike at the school was a target given by AI which was not double checked by human intelligence. The information used by AI was out of date. Another reason for the DOD not to employ AI so easily.

    The use of AI, along with Chat GP in the Cdn school shooting, again underlines the need to place stricter rules on AI. Its been fairly well known in both the media and academic literature that AI is designed to manipulate its users to rely on AI instead of seeking human help.

    The number, 147, is probably accurate. Using school registration lists, it’s fairly easy to come up with a number and Iran has no need to exaggerate the number — whether it was 110 or 147 or 199, etc it’s still a war crime. Add the double tap once rescue operations started, and it’s a war crime twice over. The double tap is the Gaza playbook over again.

    As for locating a school on a military base; quite a few US (and other) military bases have elementary schools on the base. Its not unusual.

  13. Appartently, Lang was bringing a roasted pig to Mamdani’s office. Imagine Lang doing that when Bloomberg was mayor…… I’d like to think both Bloomberg and Mamdani would just donate the pig to the food bank or homeless shelter. But really, at this point, I think Minneapolis was too nice to Lang

    The fraud in Minneapolis was a different department and gov’t level than the DOD spending spree. You can’t compare. Besides, Minnesota arrested, charged and sentenced the person responsible. Will the DOD force the person responsible to resign?

    And please, the grunts weren’t getting surf and turf — that would be the rear echelon and bureaucrats, not to mention the general with the grand piano. I just found out Cdn soldiers have better pay and benefits then their American counterparts …… why? Perhaps instead of surf and turf, the grunts should get a raise — at least pay them better than Canadian troops.
