Laughing Wolf has some Iran Thoughts: "I have suspicions as to what has been going on, and I truly hope that Qatar does not have its hooks into certain members of the administration. Sadly, there is a lot of damage done right now regardless of the source. A promise was made, a red line set, and nothing done when the mullahs gleefully crossed it. There is still time, but a lot of damage has been done and it will take more than words to undo it." Hat Hair's John Sexton is predicting Communist Cuba's Last Year. I hope so.

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, " BREAKING: Files confirm Donald Trump BLEW THE WHISTLE on Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting activities in a 2006 phone call with the police, "TRUMP was one of the very first people to call." Trump said Ghislaine Maxwell is "evil" and "focus on her" Democrats are SPEECHLESS." According to Matt Margolis at PJM, The Epstein Cover-Up Just Got So Much Worse. Capt. Ed believes the FBI: Epstein Didn't Run a Sex-Trafficking Ring for the Powerful, just an influencing op. Ace, FBI: Jeffrey Epstein Was a Child Sex Abuser But He Wasn't Running a Pedophile Sex Ring for the World's Rich and Famous. "He certainly does seem to have made young women available for the use of his pedophile pals. But this seems to have been a matter of ingratiation and favor-banking rather than a quid pro quo with billionaires paying Ghislaine Maxwell at the till before passing the turnstile and entering Pedo Island." Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza, "Isn’t it interesting that your newspaper is reporting this now, decades after the fact? Are you guys so incompetent you couldn’t trace this connection earlier? Or were you covering up for the Clintons all that time?"

At Fox, JONATHAN TURLEY reveals Grandstanding Newsom will stop at nothing to ride the rails to glory in 2028. "California governor uses diesel freight train on conventional track to create appearance of progress on high-speed rail boondoggle." Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks California Has Become Uninvestable. Mike Netter @nettermike, "Valero just paid a $1.1 billion breakup fee to leave California. When a company is willing to absorb a billion-dollar write-down just to exit a market, that’s not a routine business decision. It’s a signal that the operating environment no longer works. Valero is shutting down its Benicia refinery by April 2026 rather than continue operating under California’s current regulatory and economic framework." Hat Hair's John Sexton hears Karen Bass Faces Last Minute Challenge from Former Supporter, but she's probably not much improvement.

Use it all up!" John Hinderacker sees More Dildos at anti-ICE "protests."

Dave Strom sees CBS News Tries to Parse What Kind of Crimes Should Lead to Deportation, and it Is Bizarre. @LeighWolf, "There’s a reason they never link to the article or full videos. “His criminal history includes domestic assault, criminal trespass, reckless conduct, deposit account fraud, violation of probation, multiple arrests for driving on a suspended license.” "In 2014, an immigration judge ordered him removed after he failed to show up for his immigration hearing.” You have to wonder what, precisely, democrats are so desperate to protect that they would lie in such a comically absurd manner."

From Sundance, DNI General Counsel Sets Record Straight – NSA Whistleblower Claims are Baseless and NSA “Whistleblower” Attorney Andrew Bakaj Appears on Video Making False Claim About “Underlying Intercept” and explains Why is the Deep State Targeting DNI Tulsi Gabbard with Such Ferocity? Svetlana Lokhova @RealSLokhova, "The @guardian are now dissembling because in their attempted hit on @TulsiGabbard, they relied on the word of the CIA operative "lawyer" Andrew Bakaj, who worked for Hillary and Schumer on the Hill and represented the Vindmans in the fake Ukraine impeachment. Bakaj has now walked back the whole story. The British intelligence-ran Guardian are now having to "correct" i.e. retract." InfantryDort @infantrydort. "Tulsi Gabbard must be so close to the target it’s not even funny. The amount of heat on her and her team is being revved up to unforeseen levels. BS hit pieces to be sure. But they smear who they fear. And filth media is going hard in the paint right now." Quote Alexa Henning @alexahenning "Your story is false. This headline is not accurate. Your leaker lied to you. And you ignored our requests to give us time to get you accurate information and published your story before we could respond. You are a total loser being used by your sources (likely Congress) to leak highly classified information." Quote Cate Brown @catebrown12 "SCOOP: The NSA detected a phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump last spring. Whistleblower says that @DNIGabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff."

Quote Stand Up For Trump @StandUpForTrmp, "BREAKING: In a bombshell revelation, CBS investigative journalist Catherine Herridge has gone public with explosive allegations: "CBS executives deliberately buried the 'Hunter Biden laptop story' and ordered her to wait until AFTER the 2022 midterms to help the Democratic Party . . ." alexandriabrown @alexthechick, "The use of seize to refer to election results reveals the assumption that there is something illegitimate about parties on the right winning elections." Quote Sky News @SkyNews, "BREAKING: Japan's ultra-conservative prime minister is set to seize more power after an exit poll had her securing a big majority in the country's lower house." "Readers added context: Wording is misleading. « Seizing » power is commonly used for forcefully taking power. The Prime minister is set to gain more power after wining the vast majority in an election." Matt Vespa thinks Why This Former CNN Reporter Saying He'd Fire Scott Jennings Is Amusing. Joe Concha @JoeConchaTV, "Legacy media: “The First Amendment is under attack!” @acosta: Let’s fire people our team disagrees with!

Matt Margolis sees We Finally Have a Trans Athlete Whom the Media Isn’t Gushing Over. "You may or may not have heard about Elis Lundholm, a 23-year-old Swedish mogul skier. There's a reason for that. Lundholm is the first and only openly trans athlete competing at these Winter Games, but outside of a handful of puff pieces, the mainstream media seems to want nothing to do with this story. Why? Because it exposes every contradiction and shred of hypocrisy baked into their gender ideology crusade. Lundholm is a biological female who "identifies" as a man but is competing in the women's category at the Milan-Cortina Games." At UnDivided, Teen athlete says she was sexually violated by trans wrestler – and the school district did nothing "Checking the oil." Now that's a euphemism to remember!
