He thinks you’re fucking stupid, “independence” never meant the attorney general has nothing to do with the president, he’s of the same party, appointed by, can be dismissed by, can even be the president’s brother and top adviser! What it means is very low bars of “Oval Office signing ceremonies…

Asked about Jeffrey Epstein, Attorney General Todd Blanche says: "I think he committed suicide." "The recordings weren’t working. There was staff shortages. So the right people weren’t checking on him."

Executing the Fort Hood shooter by firing squad is an insane idea — but not for any bleeding-heart reason. It’s traditionally an honorable “soldier’s death,” which is why Nazi leaders and Saddam Hussein requested it, and were denied: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/hegseth-ho...

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: “The fact that Israel is going through a 4% GDP growth while at war on seven fronts, that simply doesn't happen. “That the stock market is up 100% since October the 7th. That's not supposed to happen."

REPORTER: …violence in the West Bank. RUBIO: We’ve asked the Israelis and continue to ask them to crack down on that stuff. REPORTER: …one of the first decisions [Trump] took was to lift sanctions against the settlers. RUBIO: Yeah, I understand, but he doesn’t want to see what’s happening now.
