KERNEN: You know how mainstream media is gonna play it. They're gonna find every person that has a premium increase and splash it across the headlines REP. JASON SMITH: The reason why we're in this situation is because of the Democrats

Slotkin: "If there's an idea that we're gonna go start a land war against Venezuela -- and just remember, the military of Venezuela is not comparable to the military of the US -- if we're gonna do that, then that should come to Congress."

Makes sense. The Senate is no longer part of the United States government, right?

Chicago Cubs co-owner not knowing the first thing about government & that he’s in it.

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw? TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence? COTTON: No, I didn't

wow -- John Berman demolished Tom Cotton in this interview

Two. Weeks.

VARNEY: The price of natural gas is way up there. Doesn't that contribute to inflation? CHRIS WRIGHT: That's a short term move in gas prices. There will be more drilling, production will grow, and gas prices will go back down

Classic propaganda tactic

Straight out of the Nazi playbook.

"It’s a testament to how egregiously indefensible Hegseth’s actions are that we now find common cause with George Will. (A cautionary note to readers: this only gets worse in the article, where we are forced to nod along with John Yoo.)" — @snipy.bsky.social

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.

I don't know man, when the Fox Business hosts have trouble getting into character, maybe it's time to rewrite the script.

I have just approved TINY CARS to be built in America. Little SEDANS that should fit four at most but when you open the door 27 clowns spill out. HOW??? They will DUST THEMSELVES OFF as they leave the car. The HORN will make the little eeooh-eeooh sound. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

"We've moved on from that."

Q: You've had some concerns about crime in cities that will be hosting the World Cup. Have they remedied that or will you be asking FIFA to move some of those cities? TRUMP: I don't want to do that but if they have a problem by the time we get there we'll take care of it. I've proven that in DC

This is a very good and unflappable job by John Berman of CNN. Worth watching whole segment. h/t @gottalaff.bsky.social

Kernan (basically): I'm really trying hard to find a way to blame Democrats for this but you aren't giving me much to work with here. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "I've settled eight wars! Have a good time"

COLLINS: You're expected to get the FIFA peace prize. What you say to people who say it conflicts with your pledge to strike Venezuela? TRUMP: I've settled 8 wars. I don't know that I'm getting it. I've been hearing about a peace prize and I'm here to represent our country. But I did settle 8 wars.

"How do I make my boss happy?" is the question that dominates the mind of every little authoritarian, and they instinctively assume it's on everyone else's mind as well.

Trump really all-in on those MAGA staples today of *checks notes* non-American football and tiny cars.

I’ve said it before. He poisons everything he touches and sucks the life out of everything he breaths near..

Red states lol - no one will be able to afford a ticket and for the part won't give a shit about soccer, do t dare call it football in America let alone a red state. Then add in some racism towards 99% of the players - yeah that is just fantastic. Are all red states racist - No - However -

They should move it out of the US altogether

FIFA peace prize goes to Trump. Vomit. As a life long player and fan, FIFA can F all the way off.

Best part is, *nothing* will convince the regime otherwise! /n

Trump presents new National Security Strategy: focus on Europe and Indo-Pacific US President Donald Trump outlines his vision for American foreign policy based on “America first” The new US National Security Strategy, released by the White House, outlines the Trump administration's vision for…

If this goes through and they move matches to red states, FIFA will FAFO

Kash Patel on Newsmax claims on Newsmax that the Biden FBI intentionally did not solve the pipe bomber case

This is what we call a "healthy glow"

He's getting more pathetic and ridiculous every day. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.

Patel is celebrating the pipe bomber arrest by doing a media tour of right-wing wackos

Himes: "The end result was two individuals without any weaponry, without any tools of any kind, clinging to a wrecked boat ... the decision was taken to kill them and that is in fact what happened. And that was pretty hard to watch."

Himes: "What worries me is what causes a man of real integrity & w/ a storied professional history like the admiral to order this strike? My guess is it has something to do w/ the secretary of defense who writes a book about how we need a lot less ethics and lawyers involved & a lot more lethality."

She just loves him so much. You can feel the passion in her glassy eyes and thousand-yard star as she stands safely out of tiny paw range. A romance for the ages.

fantastic investigative reporting from Roger here. Give it a reading and subscribe to his newsletter.

New in PN: Costco demands a refund from Trump "One of the biggest importers in the country has entered the fray, at the risk of finding itself crosswise with the Trump administration. This is what happens when you let the president break the law for a little while."

Someone needs to remind him that Festivus starts on December 23.

Pirro: "They ought to kiss the ground that the president decided to make DC safe again, because this place was wild. Wild."

Click your heels together and think happy thoughts.

2/ Secretary Hegseth bears ultimate responsibility as the designated Target Engagement Authority. And recall how many times he has said Admiral Bradley acted within the authority Hegseth gave him, and that Bradley made "the correct" decision.

🚨🚨🚨This collapses the one 'argument' Hegseth had against it being a war crime: "The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat .. DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE RADIO OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers." 1/

Bongino tries to say of Trump that "he hates crime," but he can't get the last word out, probably because it's so transparently absurd

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

James O’Brien’s 'How They Broke Britain' delivers a cutting, clear-eyed account of how a small elite steered the country into decline through arrogance, corruption, and calculated deceit. @mrjamesob.bsky.social amzn.to/48ibBUv
