That’s why he created FB- so he wouldn’t have to talk/socialize face to face with anyone. And btw- does as one remember Google Glass? That’s was a huge success/s

The latest news re: Kimmel as reported by Variety :” the company (Sinclair) is demanding that Kimmel apologize to Kirk’s family and send “a meaningful personal donation” to them as well as Turning Point USA…”

Yep. My husband’s brother’s son is set to take over his operation-he’s young. but as far as I can tell, he’s bringing no new ideas-just staying with commodity crops, pesticides and cattle.

my husband and I live on a farm in west central Iowa and I believe if he hadn't grown up there and attended school in the adjoining town of 15-hundred...we wouldn't be as welcome as we seem to be.

And the stupid keeps coming.
Tony Sarabia (@ruraltony.bsky.social) reply parent
And...will this comment and what it means for our country be covered my legacy media?

The ruling covers POTUS from criminal prosecution it does not give him kingly powers.

Straight to SCOTUS on this one. But these days that might not even be a slam dunk.

If I were in her spot-after his answer, I would have said, “Okay you what, we’re done here. Thank you for your time. We‘ll be right back.”

Andrew Egger was spot on the other with Mona Charen when he talked about how easy it is for this administration to lie.

Great explainer thanks! Just one question: can’t POTUS just federalize the TX NG?

And let's not forget about Thomas Fugate who was hired to run the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships which is supposed to track & prevent hate fueled attacks school shootings&other forms of targeted violence. He fired 75% of the staff when he took over.

And here's why this reporter- Mary Olohan from the Daily Wire most likely asked this she authored this: "Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult."
Tony Sarabia (@ruraltony.bsky.social) reply parent
is she- the reporter- calling for that? she should name AT LEAST one person who's calling for that. LAZY reporting.
Tony Sarabia (@ruraltony.bsky.social) reply parent
Dems should be able to multi-task: sound the alarm over POTUS's increasing power grabs & hammer home who's to blame for today's economy. Then there's this "media attention has lagged there is nowhere near the coverage of consumer attitudes that there was last spring" from @newrepublic.com piece
Tony Sarabia (@ruraltony.bsky.social) reply parent
here's the thing- a headline is meant to grab your attention with the hopes you'll read the piece. If you notice, there are quotes around that descriptor. Cottle didn't say it's from a former dem congresswoman who called it a stereotype.
Tony Sarabia (@ruraltony.bsky.social) reply parent
well if they still get to walk their dog and they are both smiling then what's the big deal?/s

Yes, she came out with her version of the album Remain in Light and performed it at Ravinia; it was fantastic! I ran into her at NOLA Jazz Fest in ‘23

Call me a cynic but what would really be news is if the headline read: “Chicago’s top cop ready to follow thru on recommendations from oversight chief and fire officers.” I mean this the CPD after all.

No, technically and legally the AG is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer. POTUS is Commander in Chief. Nixon was forced out because he abused his power as President.

I’m still deciding whether Putin even said this to Trump. My bet is POTUS made it up.
Tony Sarabia (@ruraltony.bsky.social) reply parent
So that last line can be interpreted as JD saying it was okay for Putin to invade a sovereign nation. Sheesh
