This is asinine.

The tide continues....................

Good post O.B. But you could have stopped after 4 words. .

The Left is crazy

You're doing a great job, keep it up.

That's it. I'm selling my Johnny Mathis records.

Back to the actual thread.

Thanks Coudy. Keep Joshysh*t occupied in this thread so he/she/it doesn't contaminate the others.

Hegseth Refuses to 'Fall For' Mazie Hirono's Slimy Questions About Trump By Mike Miller As we've seen with most if not all of President Donald Trump's advisors and cabinet members, it hasn't worked out well at all for smug Democrat lawmakers as they've tried to play "gotcha" during hearings, or attempted to lead member of Team Trump down false paths, always laden with TDS-riddled questions and barbs. In the latest example, snippy Hawaii Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono tried — for at least the second time — to get Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to say whether or not he would follow an unlawful order from Trump. Any guesses how that turned out? Here's Hirono: [Concerning] an order from the president, I'm going to ask you once again — to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry out such an order from the president? Setting aside the probability that Hirono doesn't give a hoot about the "peaceful" protesters, and is not only far more interested in "trapping" Hegseth, but even more so, with dumping on Trump, her staged question was nothing more than performative theater. Hegseth calmly, yet forcefully, answered: Senator, as I've said, before, of course I reject the premise of your question, and the characterization that I would be given — or have been given — unlawful orders is an attempt to smear the Commander in Chief and I won't fall for it. https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2025/06/18/mazie-dont-mess-with-pete-hegseth-refuses-to-fall-for-sen-hironos-slimy-question-n2190621

For SOME Reason Senate Dems Skipped a Great Opportunity to Defend Biden's Cognitive State Back when Joe Biden was still in the White House, Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer, were saying that claims of the president suffering from cognitive decline were totally false. The gaslighting effort was off the charts The presidential debate in June of last year and many other videos of Biden made it clear that wasn't true. What we were seeing was not, in fact, the "best version of Biden ever" as MSNBC's Joe Scarborough claimed. Now Sen. Schumer is among Democrats trying to avoid the subject of investigating Biden's cognitive state because the country has hungry kids to feed. The Dems are trying to pretend the investigations are GOP stunts but in fact it is quite important for the country to know who was really pulling the strings at the White House during the Biden years. Today there was a hearing about Biden and the cover-up effort, and all Democrats on the committee were eager to show up and defend the former president's cognitive state. Wait, no they weren't. Go figure: https://twitchy.com/dougp/2025/06/18/for-some-reason-senate-dems-skipped-a-great-opportunity-to-bidens-cognitive-state-again-n2414414

RUMORS.

Our Utopia requires a permanent underclass of undocumented, underpaid non-citizens.

Great news. OH NO ! Letting the people decide ? “The Court's role is not ‘to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic’ of [the ban on surgically mutilating minors], but only to ensure that the law does not violate equal protection guarantees,” the Supreme Court ruled. “It does not. Questions regarding the law's policy are thus appropriately left to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process.”

President Trump has been consistent in his view for over 10 years. Iran must never have nuclear weapons, and the U.S. must not get stuck in regime change / nation building. As he meets with his defense team and state dept., I am confident that this is still his goal. Occupation is not the way this gets done. That's the way we get 20+ more years of endless war. What's happening now is a complete undoing of that policy. The same policy that's allowed the executive branch to accelerate it's creep, that's given the IC and MiC unfathomable and uncheckable power. THEY wanted this war to be fought their way - propping up all sides to ensure a nasty, protracted fight that bleeds us of blood and treasure while they get rich. You don't want that. I know you don't. Nor do I. If you want to end that, this is the way forward. The Iranian people - not small pockets, the vast majority - have been clamoring for our help for nearly 3 decades now. They have to do the heavy lifting, and they want to. But they can't do it as long as our IC and WH keeps propping up the Mullahs. The Mullahs being gone is good for Iran. It's good for the region. It's good for the US. It's good for the world. But it was never going to happen without force. There are monsters in the hills that require brave men to slay them from time to time. That's the world we live in. It's fiction to believe otherwise. It's the "how" that slaying gets done that's the quibble. .

I think Frankish's thread has about reached it's end. Truth wins as ‘citizen journalists’ rise — and legacy media fades. https://nypost.com/2025/06/17/opinion/truth-wins-as-citizen-journalists-rise-and-media-fades/ .
