CarryingMarine@carryingmarineA Secret Service agent who protected Trump recently said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me — I could never protect another President the same way again.” And before you assume he meant that as criticism, WAIT until you understand what he really meant by “ruined,” because his explanation of Trump has left people across the Secret Service deeply emotional.Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”:This Secret Service agent had protected several Presidents before Trump. He was professionally trained, followed every rule, and performed his duty with discipline, distance, and dedication. He protected each President the same...

John “TIG” Tiegen@TigTiegenYou lecturing about “free press” is a joke.The night Stevens and Sean Smith were killed you pointed at a YouTube video. That same night you emailed your daughter it was an al Qaeda-like group. The next day you told Egypt it was a planned attack, not the film.Then the public story stayed on the video. The press ran it. Nakoula got locked up on a probation hit after that narrative.Tyrone Woods’s father said you told him you would arrest the filmmaker for his son’s death.You used the press to sell a fake protest so an election calendar wouldn’t...

ransomnote: I'm concerned about potential abuse of Apple's ear bud technology, carefully designed with extensive built-in electrodes to obtain 'Mind Tapping' information from consumers. With voter ID gaining popularity, might Apple's 2023 patent point to the next gen 'alternative' to stealing elections?In a 2023 patent, Apple identified technology for a "Biosignal Sensing Device Using Dynamic Selection of Electrodes (Your earbudes can acquire information from your brain in a 'non-ivasive' manner.) Below I pulled together some information (Apple's patent, Grok, related articles) to try to determine if this patent was just the sensing portion of what actually became 'sensing-responding' technology (e.g.,...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told a local television news station in Shreveport, Louisiana, this week that President Donald Trump needs to bring the war in Iran “to a resolution.” “It’s been a priority and an objective of every administration, for nearly 50 years, to ensure that Iran didn’t have a nuclear capability. Now that’s done. Operation Epic Fury was an epic success,” Johnson said dutifully, later adding: The world is safer because of it. But now we’ve got to bring that to a resolution. And the Strait of Hormuz not being open affects commerce. It directly affects gas prices...

They will not say this on a swing-state mailer. They will talk about groceries and “affordability” and holding crooks accountable. Fine. Read the platforms. Read what House Democrats have already promised for Day One if they take the gavel.Then read what the Democratic Socialists of America put in writing this summer and what their national co-chair confirmed on live television. And to those who think the Democratic Socialists are not the "mainstream" Democrat Party, I would encourage you to pay closer attention. The days of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are numbered, and will be effectively over if the Democrats...

A Nobel Prize-nominated journalist from Gaza who has hung out with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) multiple times has admitted to covering up footage of Israeli hostages being attacked on October 7, 2023. Photojournalist Motaz Azaiza admitted to hiding the dreadful images during a podcast interview, the New York Post reported on Monday.
