JUST IN: Ohio governor says all 33 bomb threats against Springfield, Ohio have been hoaxes that are coming from overseas. Just another media-fueled hoax. Governor Mike DeWine said the threats are coming from "one particular country."
In March 2023 I interviewed a strange man named Ryan Routh. We had been introduced by a source inside Ukraine's foreign legion, a military unit composed of foreign volunteers from more than fifty countries all over the world. Routh, a 58-year-old former roofing contractor from Greensboro, NC, who had no military experience, had set up a private organization in Kiev that helped connect international fighters with Ukraine's military units and aid groups. And he made his way into my story about U.S.-trained Afghan commandos eager to join Ukraine's war effort.
I posted this because it had a vibe that mirrored the movie "The God's Must be Crazy". An almost documentary feel to it. But not quite. That is all.
When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Donald Trump, five of his siblings issued a statement denouncing him: "Our brother Bobby's decision ... is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear." Among the values they cited was "a shared vision of a brighter future" defined by "economic promise." But when it comes to economic policy, Mr. Trump is much better aligned with the values of President John F. Kennedy than Kamala Harris is. In December 1962, speaking at the Economic Club of New York, JFK said that the "federal government's most useful role" was "to expand the incentives and opportunities for private expenditures" by cutting "the fetters which hold back private spending." He committed "to an across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes."
Kamala Harris declared in Tuesday's debate that a vote for her is a vote "to end the approach that is about attacking the foundations of our democracy 'cause you don't like the outcome." She was alluding to the 2021 Capitol riot, but she and her party are also attacking the foundations of our democracy: the Supreme Court and the freedom of speech. Several candidates for the 2020 presidential nomination, including Ms. Harris, said they were open to the idea of packing the court by expanding the number of seats. Mr. Biden opposed the idea, but a week after he exited the 2024 presidential race, he announced a "bold plan" to "reform" the high court. It would pack the court via term limits and also impose a "binding code of conduct," aimed at conservative justices

A little history lesson for you: Democrats and their media pals with a 50/50 ties in the Senate were seeking to use the VP tie breaking vote to abolish the filibuster so Dems can go on a major power grab spree. Manchin and Sinema were the only ones who were publicly opposed. It was just enough to preserve the filibuster. Fast- forward to 2025 and imagine Trump winning, the GOP keeping the House and taking the Senate. Had Dems nuked the filibuster the GOP in this scenario could institute a national abortion ban and the only thing that could stop it would be from inner party dissent.
Pretty scary, right? I don't know if you personally supported Dems abolishing the filibuster for short term political gain but plenty of others on this site were for it as were lefties in the media, Dems, etc.
