Kennedy and DeSantis were both just at the border. Kennedy got a ton of cable news coverage and social media engagement. People are talking about his trip. Not the case with DeSantis.

Can you guess why? ImageImage
@GovRonDeSantis 4.4 million followers.

@RobertKennedyJr 1.4 million followers.

Compare the key social post from each candidate. DeSantis’ had advance team, event production, pro AV crew - didn’t clear 1k retweets. Kennedy took a video on his phone, got over 27x the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Follow-up posts also did well. Like this one, where he identified practical problem (“they’re pooping in our lettuce”) and accompanied with nice photo hanging out with farmers - solid posting skills
Also noteworthy - DeSantis only posted about his border trip on his @GovRonDeSantis account - not his @RonDeSantis presidential campaign account. Odd.

I see a lot of people are taking the general narrative of Ted Kaczynski at face value.

A narrative shaped by the FBI in the 1990s.

The same organization that lied about Ruby Ridge, lied about Waco, lied about Oklahoma City…and used all of those events to expand their power
The McVeigh and Kaczynski cases both have some striking similarities.

Both were subjected to intense psychiatric manipulation at the hands of shadowy forces.

During his years at Harvard, Kaczynski was part of a three-year experiment aimed at “psychic deconstruction” that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Another similarity that’s important - neither Kaczynski nor McVeigh acted alone. Yet the FBI insisted on the “lone wolf” narrative.

When the FBI searched Kaczynski’s cabin for weeks, they did not inform local authorities nor get consent for executing the warrant. They shipped… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Trump will be indicted next Tuesday, June 13th, exactly 888 days after January 6th.

8 is the symbol of death, rebirth, and consecration.

Christ was resurrected eight days after the last Sabbath. Eight were saved in the Ark. Genesis commanded circumcision on the eighth day of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It’s also the day before President Trump’s birthday. On Wednesday he will become 77 years old. I don’t have to explain the significance of 77.

As a woman, you must never cry in front of a man. You can cry in private, you can cry with your best friends, you can cry with your mother, even though you ought not to. But you must never cry in front of a man.
Most unsaved women seem to have a disgust reaction to men crying, no matter the reason. Whatever, it’s biological.

But male reaction to female crying is “what do I say or do to make it stop?”. This is why it’s so often used as a manipulation tactic. But manipulation never ends… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Guys will stay in a dead-end relationship for way too long simply to avoid the emotional drama of a breakup.

If the standard was for both sexes to retain composure around each other, I think everyone would be much better off.

Posting a video of mountain people cutting up and having a good time isn’t the own you think it is. No Republican can get elected president without strong support from folks like this.
The story of the midterms has only been half absorbed. The end of Roe did boost Dem turnout, but what hurt the GOP the most was the drop in rural turnout. Across the country, rural turnout was 20-30 points lower than the GOP expected.
Expectations were built on the assumption that the rural base would turn out strongly and split 80/20-95/5 like they did for Trump. They thought this would happen because it happened for Youngkin in Virginia.

The climate is changing. It has always been changing. Near the village one of my ancestors came from in Germany there is a mountain with terraces cut into the side by the Romans. They grew grapes there. They could do that because the climate was much warmer then. It’s not warm… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We can’t control the climate, but we can control whether or not we turn our world into a garbage dump, we can stop polluting the lakes and rivers, we can stop putting chemicals in our food supply, we can stop building eyesores, we can stop population growth, we can stop progress.
There is too much knowledge and too little wisdom. Too much owned space and too little wilderness. Our current level of population is a total aberration and can only be supported through aberrant means. Image

President Bukele announcing some incredible reforms to the El Salvadoran political system right now.

- Number of municipalities will be slashed from 262 to 44 (saves on taxes, politicians salaries, and administrative expense).
-Legislative Assembly will be reduced from 84 to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Bukele also announces that at this moment, the Attorney General of the Republic, Rodolfo Delgado, is searching all the properties and assets of Former President Alfredo Cristiani.
Christiani was named in the Pandora Papers for involvement in corruption. He created at least 16 offshore companies in the year following his departure from power.
