Lol. Los Angeles manufactured a crisis, then gets mad when vendors just go to other ports of entry that don’t hassle them. 🤷‍♀️

The backup at the ports of L.A. and Long Beach is gone — but big problems remain for the ports. That’s because U.S. retailers and manufacturers figured out workarounds that sent their cargo containers to ports on the East and Gulf coasts. latimes.com/business/story

Did those complaining about the alleged arbitrariness in suspending journalists on Twitter say anything when the
@nypost
got locked out of their account for accurate reporting on Hunter’s laptop, or when anyone who shared it got suspended? Because I may have missed it.

The word “journalists” is very loosely applied here.

Lmao The Washington Post just sent out a breaking news push alert for all their friends being suspended from Twitter - "Twitter abruptly suspends several journalists" Even if you think it's wrong, you have to notice the double standard and laugh about the hyperventilating.

Ya know, maybe Musk is trying to prove a point these people will never allow themselves to come to grips with. Or maybe not.

If the U.S. was a car Biden constantly comes across like somebody who's hellbent on stripping it and giving away the parts.

Rhodes is so consistently wrong that of course MSNBC invited him back on. Kinzinger no longer "fit in" because the Illinois Dems redistricted him out of a job (and even if they didn't he would have probably lost anyway).

Kinzinger gives his farewell: "Had I know that standing up for truth would cost me my job, friendships, and even my personal security, I would, without hesitation, do it all over again."

Yeah, well Democrats didn't always call anybody who wasn't a Democrat a "worse than Hitler" Jim Crow racist who hates kids, old people, pets and the Constitution either.

Always remember, the battle isn’t between Republicans and Democrats. The battle is between the proletariat and the ruling class. When push comes to shove, politicians are a monolith.

Former Republican Speaker John Boehner gets emotional while speaking at the reveal of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's portrait in the Capitol's Statuary Hall. “My girls told me, ‘Tell the speaker how much we admire her.’” abcn.ws/3uXdEbX

It's such "cheap energy" that the government has to pump in massive subsidies to make it remotely affordable for anybody.

The media should refuse to cover these PR stunts at the White House if the President refuses to be accountable to the American people and answer basic questions about multiple crises, especially at the border.

He should have just told them they're going to be retrained to sell solar panels. That seems to be an acceptable spin when the peasants lose their jobs.

The Washington Post, which has lost 500k subscribers in the past year, has announced layoffs are coming to the paper. The meeting didn’t go well.
