Who in their wildest dreams could have hoped for even a fraction of all this? It’s truly astounding. I can only imagine how the other side (lefties, uniparty shills, deep state operatives) are feeling right now. The momentum has grown to the point that I can’t see how they can recover.

The scale and speed of developments feels like the collapse of the Communist Party in the wake of its failed coup against Gorbachev. Lots of arrests, but also suicides, followed. We may see something similar here.

Agree, Brother Ass. The pace is head-spinning. It's also bringing back End-of-The-Cold-War memories, but for me it's the downfall of the Ceausescus. One minute they are coasting along; the next minute they are up against a wall. Like many, I laughed at Q, but I hope that there really is a lot of deep-level support for Team Trump in the military to head off any attempts at fight-back by the crazies.

What's reported on the EPA's greenhouse gas funding is concerning. None of the groups or people listed in the preview have any expertise in implementing greenhouse gas-reducing technologies.

Yesterday I compared your overview to the Trib. Today, you're more like NPR. Well done, I guess (it's supposed to be a compliment: national, longer form).

I remember reading Royko in the Daily News. :-)

What, do you mean the Sun-Times? I love that we're Chicagoans everywhere. My 8th grade social studies teacher used to read Mike Royko columns to our class.

I think he did end up at the Trib when the the Daily News went belly up. I remember John Kass replacing him.

Oh shit, you're right. That is what my parents subscribed to back then. You're definitely on par with my memory of that paper.

I’m looking for that meme with the girl asking about when do we get to the part where we are issuing indictments for the perpetrators of all this treasonous fraud.

What a great VP Vance is. He runs intellectual circles around everyone - especially the Europeans.

For those not on twitter but who would like to read Mark's linked VP tweet in its entirety,

We've come a long way from VP Harris, baby.

He undoubtedly knows the Euro elites all too well from his time at Yale (and wasn’t impressed).

I was rather surprised at his remark yesterday that the UK could become the first nuclear armed Islamic state. What happened to the Pakis?

I'm sure the MSM will make a big deal out of it. JD Vance was wrong.. the Paki's have nukes. Totally missing the point.

They all moved to England, Mark. Hence his remark! :)

Sometimes when you are gaslighting a fool a little snark, true or untrue, makes an effective point. Pakistan is full of Pakis so is Britain along with other Islamic tribes. I find it amusing.
