Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.

🚨NEW: VoteVets Senior Advisor LTC (Ret.) Alex Vindman sounds the alarm. SecDef Hegseth’s decision to block Ukraine from NATO is a full capitulation to Putin—emboldening Russian aggression and putting U.S. Troops at risk. This isn’t “America First.” It’s Russia First.

“Less than 1% of patients appeal [claim denials]. Few people realize how worthwhile those labors can be: Up to three-quarters of claim appeals are granted, studies show.” Denial mills rely on exhaustion, overwhelming paperwork, & 2nd language difficulties to not get called out.

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.
