Things we used to know about Jim Jordan, just chosen to be minority leader, 1: He was deeply involved in the coup attempt.

Pete Hegseth's office reportedly blocked officers' promotions over a photo taken after their second Covid jab.
In 1777, George Washington had his recruits inoculated against smallpox.
Hegseth would have blocked Washington.

I hope Maine will prosecute him for murder. The feds will do nothing but try to obstruct any prosecution

I just published a new investigation into Donald Trump’s taxes.
A teaser: The president has stiffed a lot of people over the years. His next, and largest, victim will probably be the U.S. government.
Full story below.

Stop wasting time with these charades and focus on the only thing that will end the war: kicking Russia out of Ukraine.
Once again proving that yet another round of fake negotiations was only meant to serve as theatrical background for the Trump family to remove Russia sanctions while blaming Ukraine, Putin's chief negotiator Medinsky in Abu Dhabi confirms that Putin still intends on occupying Ukraine.

I visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier several times a year. I’ve seen this happen multiple times.
Absolute fucking embarrassment that it had to happen to SecDef.

But the American led global order was unquestionably good for America. It has its frustrations, costs, and inconveniences, but it was unquestionably good

With this lineup at TPUSA America Fest, we patriots will be undefeated in 2028.

What a disgrace to have the Secretary of Defense reprimanded by a Sentinel at the tomb of the unknown soldier on Veterans Day. Pete Hegseth has no respect for the fallen and he can’t even remain reverent on this sacred day at one of our nation’s most sacred memorials. This makes our blood boil. Hegseth must be impeached and removed from office.

The first map of numbers US highways was released on this date in 1926, 100 years ago. Here is what it looked like. Most (though not all) of those route numbers are still in use today. – at Gettysburg, PA

Had a rule while in squadron command that no pics of me, except those promoting or rewarding soldiers, were allowed on the unit social media page. I learned that from every boss I ever had who would've lost their shit if subordinates publicly worshipped them.

Really excellent report @thedispatch from @McCormackJohn, where he talked to a couple of those Indiana state senators who stood against the redistricting push from Trump and feel vindicated after last week's nationwide wipeout for Republicans.

This election I learned there is a county in MS named for Nathan Forrest that no one ever changed

I honestly don't know if Cornyn could've beaten Talarico in this environment but it would've been much closer than this. Normie GOP voters just found Paxton repulsive and either stayed home or voted for Talarico. And for good reason! Paxton's a pretty repulsive guy!

The GOP’s Red Wall in the South is crumbling. This would fundamentally change American politics — for the better for all of us, not just for Democrats.

Have you considered switching to Compuserve?
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.
