Be honest.  If it weren't tagged "The Alex Jones Show" you would never have guessed.  The MAGAs are restless.

Remember the initial ONI assessment of the "OBLITERATION" of Iran's nuclear sites?  The one so full of doubt that Tulsi Gabbard was forced to change it and disinvited to the big intelligence briefing?  Turns out it was right.  NBC News reports that one of the sites was "mostly destroyed," but the other two were only "degraded to a point where nuclear enrichment could resume in the next several months."  Central Command had a plan for striking Iran over several weeks instead of one night, but Trump was too frightened of longer engagement and possible casualties.  He likes military parades, not military achievement, and sexy names like Operation Midnight Hammer, especially if Israel assumes most of the risk.

Republican senators are full of...wisdom.  Joni Ernst reminded us that access to healthcare is futile because "we're all going to die."   Today a reporter asked Tommy Tuberville about American citizens, and especially veterans, getting caught up in ICE raids like dolphins in tuna net.  "If you're gonna be hanging around people that are not citizens of this country, some things like that are gonna probably happen.  Don't hang around illegals.  If you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, something bad can happen."  I'll miss his unique viewpoint when he goes home to governate Alabama.  Do you suppose they could replace him with something equally thick?

As the right continues to scour universities for instances of antisemitism, it seems the problem can be found closer to home.  Jonathan Larsen reports that Ralph Drollinger, who leads Bible study for Congressional Republicans and cabinet members and also issues videos and study guides, teaches that "Israel...executed the Messiah."  I thought it was the Romans.  Didn't he say something about the beam in your own eye and the speck of dust in the other guy's?  Have to look that up.  Anyway, Drollinger still has hope for the Jews/Israelis (he uses the words interchangeably) despite their "hardened hearts," so that's nice.

He'd have plenty to discuss with Charlie Kirk, who knows exactly why the American Dream is fading, and it has nothing to do with corporate greed or stagnant wages.  Men can't get a date.  Back in the 1980s "the dating pool was easier.  It was not full of young women that are infected with the Jezebel spirit that had no interest in getting married or having children.  Young men seek to have some sort of relationship that is scriptural in nature."  You know, when women could be stoned for adultery.  Those were the days.

For a case that is over and done with and also a hoax, the Epstein story rolls on.  The Bondi Department has asked the Supreme Court to reject Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal to overturn her conviction for reasons that have nothing to do with her offer to testify before any committee that asks.  Nothing at all.  Nor should you ask why they just decided to fire Maurene Comey, who was Maxwell's lead prosecutor.  What could she possibly know?

Here's the real news:

That's what they voted for -- "REAL Cane Sugar" in their soda.  And he made it happen.  It's why God saved him.  Only the Coca-Cola Company doesn't seem to be quite on board:  "We appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand.  More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon."  Nothing about cane sugar.  Maybe they're returning to the original formula, which included a small amount of cocaine.  Junior would love that.

God's anointed, like the big guy himself, giveth and taketh away.  Today he took away $4 billion in grants to California's high-speed rail project, although it sounds like the work goes on:  "With projects like the Texas high-speed rail failing to take off, we are miles ahead of others.  We're now in the track-laying phase and building America's only high-speed rail," wrote Gavin Newsom.  As a consolation prize California is getting a brand-new century-old decrepit prison in San Francisco Bay because the name Alcatraz thrills Trump, a vocal fan of "the late great Alphonse Capone."  Currently a national park generating $60 million year, Alcatraz will need at least $250 million for renovation; operation will require importing most supplies, including water.   But hey, it's only money.  And think of those shark-infested waters!
