NYT - hasn't bothered to follow up. Were the pilots actually rescued? Did they actually exist or was a cover for another failed mission? Was Trump told the pilots were rescued so he would stop screaming?

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

Louis XIV, the Sun King of France, commissioned iconic ballroom spaces at Versailles to symbolize absolute monarchy and host lavish court events. These structures glorified his reign through opulent design and political theater.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry declared a state of emergency, not for a natural disaster, but to redraw district lines and erase a historically Black seat. This is what election manipulation looks like, and they're doing it in plain sight.

Last position of USS Higgins (DDG-76) on Marine Traffic was 2 months ago at Diego Garcia. It was a likely participant in the war with Iran. Don't know what its position or mission were at the time of the fire, however.

Trump calls it nuclear dust. This material isn’t dust at all. It’s uranium hexafluoride gas or solid stored in secure canisters roughly the size of scuba tanks, totaling around 440 kg enriched to 60% purity (near the 90% needed for bombs).

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

On April 27, foreign investment security office of China’s National Development and Reform Commission ordered the unwinding of Meta’s ~ $2B acquisition of Manus, Chinese-founded AI agent startup based in Singapore. US sanctioned Hengli Petrochemical's Dalian refinery over Iranian oil purchases.

If there are any winners from the war with Iran in the business world, they are Western oil companies that are reaping the rewards of much higher energy prices.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and newspaper articles — yet not once over the countless allegations of child rape. That silence says everything.

Brent oil prices rose as much as 7% on Thursday on a report the U.S. is considering potential military action against Iran to break the deadlock ‌in negotiations to end the war, increasing concerns of more supply disruptions to already curtailed Middle East exports.

Remember this morning when Brent Crude was $114 per barrel… Remember Monday when it was $97… Well, it’s $121 tonight. Trump said “get over it”.

Trump said the U.S. will maintain a naval blockade on Iran until a nuclear deal is reached, rejecting Tehran’s plan to ease restrictions before talks. He said the blockade is more effective than bombing and will continue as key leverage, insisting Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon.

Sec. Hegseth refuses to answer how many more months he expects the war to continue. On Thursday, President Trump will hit the 60-day mark in the war, a legal deadline for the president to begin to withdraw troops or seek congressional authorization to continue engaging in hostilities.-NYT

Trump gets his daily briefings from Putin. Trump believes Putin's lies, and Putin know exactly how to manipulate Trump to get what he wants.

In December 2016 we learned that then president-elect he refused daily briefings. In Helsinki July 2018, he publicly eschewed his DNI’s assessment of Russian interference. When he went to Malaysia to meet with Kim Jeong-Eun he told reporters he didn’t need to be briefed, he would rely on instinct.

While it's only a guess...my guess...would be that Pete Hegseth is impotent.

Is this illegal?

Agree.

REP. ADAM SMITH: We roll out red carpet for Putin, we belittle and insult President Zelenskyy in White House — he has no cards, right? Well, year after that, it looks like Zelenskyy had couple of cards to play because Ukraine is actually winning against Russia.

Brent oil rose to the highest since June 2022… The global benchmark rose more than 7% above $119.50 a barrel, a fresh high since the Iran war began.-Bloomberg

Again, people are missing something that Todd Blanche said. They used a something trolls falsely claimed was a threat to get warrants for Jim Comey's devices. This was a pretext to spy on Comey, just like Trump falsely claims he was spied on. emptywheel.net/2026/04/29/t...

IOW, they're hiding evidence of a conspiracy to bring a fraudulent conspiracy charge.
