James Talarico, the Texas Democratic nominee for Senate, on Sunday dismissed GOP conspiracy theories about his flu-induced absence from the campaign trail and sought to turn the tables. “I had the flu,” he said in an exclusive interview with MS NOW. “This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s wild that someone can just post something on the internet and then the media just runs with it.” He dismissed the brouhaha as “silly season in our politics” and issued a fresh challenge to his GOP rival, Ken Paxton, who spent the better part of 10 days fueling wild speculation...

But it does shape a timeline the media does not understand because they are talking about something they have never experienced.Lots of people on @X are saying the Saudi East-West pipeline and its pumping stations will be back online in days!?!I have worked these deserts, in Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East, and that is not how it goes. Even if it is...

A car ride would have only taken 16 minutes.(Singapore) What could have been a 16-minute car ride turned into a spontaneous 2.5-hour trek to Changi Airport for a group of three young women. The trio's journey was documented on TikTok by user Angie, and was posted on Thursday (July 16). Captioned "peak unemployment activity", the video has garnered over 180,000 views in one day. According to a Google Maps screenshot shared in the video, the three's journey from Tanah Merah would take two hours and seven minutes. They set off at 2.42am, hoping to make it in time for their...

All these "incestuous" Aristocracies trying to Rule The World . . . I say, Let them ALL Perish ! ! ! I learned things from this AI video. Many interesting photos and film... "The "Windsor" were actually The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha until they decided to change names to conceal their German roots. I don't know how many in the Royal family have been actually British, I do know that Princess Diana was one and perhaps that is the reason why there was no love lost between she and the Windsor, which reportedly she used to call the Huns."

US President Trump accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being the reason for global hatred of Israel in an angry call on Monday, Axios reported. Earlier on Monday, Iran had threatened to stop negotiating with the US due to Israel’s action in Lebanon, prompting the call in which Trump at one point yelled at Netanyahu, “What the f*** are you doing?” According to one US official, Trump felt that Netanyahu was reacting disproportionally to Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel. He objected to Israel destroying buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander, and Israel’s threats against Beirut, Axios wrote. Another source...

Some staffers of Vice President Kamala Harris can’t stomach their job duties. And it’s not just the veep’s leadership style. It’s the food aboard Air Force Two — the vice president’s official aircraft. Harris staffers are calling the meals — served by military personnel — “horrible slop,” according to a Politico report Friday. “It’s a little more Southwest Airlines than Four Seasons,” one former staffer said. Harris staff and alumni have received soggy sandwiches, cold pasta salads, and unappetizing spinach breakfast burritos, Politico reported. Politico did not report what food is served to Harris herself, or whether it’s different from...

Though this is a vanity, I have linked to the foundational source of my point. I REALLY like what the Trump is saying. I like his attitude, I lake his effectively destroying PC and his takedown of the MSM. I like seeing all the liberal and GOPe heads exploding. I especially like him running a screen for Cruz. But I would be very concerned about a Trump presidency. If you look at his stances in the past and some that are current and couple that with is personality, attitude and MO, and imagine him as the "strong man" in the...

US Democratic Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, who had hoped to replace George W. Bush as president yesterday, instead sat in the cold and clapped as the Republican began a second four-year term. Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin patted Senator Kerry on the back shortly before the inauguration Senator Kerry had hoped would be his. As Mr Bush delivered his inaugural address, Senator Kerry, about 10m away on the steps of the US Capitol, joined other lawmakers and the crowd in repeated applause. Senator Kerry looked relaxed, at times wistful. He frequently smiled, able to hide any disappointment over what...

US Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, the frontrunner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, described Israel's construction of a security barrier as a "legitimate act of self defense" after Sunday's suicide bombing in Jerusalem, clarifying a position he took in October when he told an Arab American audience, "We don't need another barrier to peace." "It is ironic that this act of terror takes place on the eve of consideration by the International Court of Justice of Israel's security fence. The court does not have and should not accept jurisdiction over this case," Kerry said in a statement...
