Dragnet's first dispatch from the besieged Gaza Strip: Dragnet contributor @Tamer_Alnoaizy spent hours walking through tents in Gaza's flooded displacement camps, where Palestinians whose homes and neighborhoods were destroyed by Israeli bombs are now sleeping in freezing water.

RIP, Gary Fisketjon. No editor in my lifetime—not even Gordon Lish—had a greater impact on American letters. He kept Cormac McCarthy’s novels in print before Cormac was a household name, and published The Border Trilogy at Knopf. Also: Richard Ford, Tobias Wolff, Donna Tartt, Richard Russo, Kent Haruf, and so many others.

🚨White House Scrambles After Trump Again Floats Amnesty Deal With Democrats. President Donald Trump is floating an immigration deal with Democrats after acknowledging his deportation policy may have been “too tough,” raising questions about the administration’s no-amnesty commitment. The White House told the Caller that Trump: “The President never said the word amnesty.” The Caller followed up, asking what the proposed deal with Democrats would entail if it is not amnesty. The White House did not respond. Full breakdown👇 @DailyCaller

Yes, of course. You're not a neocon, and you were right all along. The world is also flat, the sky neon green, and grass periwinkle blue
I was right. Still am. Also, I’m not “neo” anything. Not that honesty is what you’re going for.

Maybe the real madness is listening to neocon think tankers who have been wrong about literally everything for decades You, in February: “For President Trump to finally push the regime over and let the Iranian people take control of their own country is a major strategic opportunity for peace and stability in the Middle East.”
No to a Tucker Carlson Theo Von foreign policy. This is madness.

Neocon is a person who is socially liberal and believes that the US should be militarily interventionist, has a deep and abiding commitment to the US-Israel alliance, supports hegemony, and confuses corporatism with free market capitalism. This group of self-styled elites ruined two Republican presidencies with two failed Middle East wars and oversaw the collapse of the US economy in 2008. Having learned nothing from these failures, the neocons continue advocating for the same economic and foreign policies that utterly destroyed the George W. Bush and Donald Trump presidencies, have immiserated millions of Americans, and murdered many millions of innocents around the world—notably in the Middle East and now in Europe—and continues to do so with little regret or doubt. Hope that helps.
The word ‘neocon’ means nothing anymore. It’s a simple “in-group/out-group” designation for petulant, emotional know-nothings whose politics are defined by vibes and mean-girl social dynamics.

Former Don Rumsfeld/George W Bush staffer Marc Thiessen currently employed by a think tank funded by the war industry citing polling done by the Regan Institute whose donors include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, BAE Systems, and Anduril to explain that the GOP doesn’t need to debate its endless war foreign policy because young people who still identify as “MAGA” supporters still sort of agree with the presidents policies. According to a recent Harvard Poll only 9% of Americans between the ages 18-29 considered themselves members of the MAGA movement.

Watching James Blair try to slither away from the GOP’s midterm disaster and the Trump White House’s naked, in-your-face corruption is hilarious. #BalkansBlair
Again not true. Called Calley last night. He didn’t answer or return my call. He messaged me this morning. After a few messages and telling him I’d consider suing him if he defamed me, I told him was done responding to him privately. And haven’t since. Calley, your poor me act is tiring and embarrassing for a grown man who launched a smear campaign. I’ve been countering your factual inaccuracy all day. You thought I was gonna lay down and take it? I do this for a living. I’ve been called worse things by better people than you. And I haven’t even gotten started.

Laura Loomer after wapo report on her paid tweets and backlash against Trump kleptocrats: STOP THE STEAL
Have you noticed how so called “conservatives” have been more focused on attacking President Trump’s inner circle as opposed to talking about the stories popping up in key states regarding suspected voter fraud? It’s one big opp. A lot of these people made deals with Democrats and you can tell they really couldn’t care less about what happens to our country so long as they get to livestream and cash in their super chats. The math isn’t making sense in Texas. That’s for sure.

If Iran was threatening America with nukes, the only rational response is to invade the country, change the regime, occupy it and dismantle the nuclear program. That's what Bush did in Iraq. He told you iraq was a nuclear threat and invaded. That's the only rational response to being threatened by nukes. Trump didn't do that. He just set up a blockade and bombed a few military outposts. This tells me Iran was not a threat to America. So who was Iran a threat to? For the past 30 years Israel has been begging American Presidents to bomb Iran. Trump is a israel fanatic. so he used the US military to protect Israel. Not America. Putting the interests of Israel over america is the Disease of the modern conservatism movement in America. Thankfully, the US public woke up and burned down the GOP on election day. So this disease does not hurt American even more that it already did. Going forward, the Republican Party must cleanse itself of this disease. Or else it will continue to be burned down by the American public.

Yeah man America first 👍
🐘The GOP’s 2028 dark horse might be a 36-year-old former quarterback you’ve never heard of. He left Fox News to work for free on Trump’s long-shot 2016 campaign, and by 29 he was in charge of political appointments in the executive branch. Today he’s an Irish American with millions of young followers and an insider’s knowledge of Washington. This is the story of John McEntee 🧵

Laura Loomer taking a step back just as Susie Wiles departs is another notable data point about how the White House really operated over the last two years.
I’ve been going nonstop supporting President Trump @realDonaldTrump ever since he came down the golden escalator. As many of you know, I am chronically tuned in, online, and I am always working. I am a machine. Some days I work more than 18 hours. My work has been one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever done. The people I’ve met, the energy and rush I feel from exposing things and breaking stories, the sense that the work I do actually matters… I’m grateful for all of it. I’m grateful for all of you. There is more to life than work though, and I am trying to learn that and practice it. It’s been very hard for me to be honest. Very very hard. I’ve been running on empty for too long. Family, my personal life, my upcoming wedding, a healthy work life balance and just the act of having a life outside of my show and my work have all been on hold. So I’m taking a hiatus from my show @LoomerUnleashed, which I livestream twice a week. I just need to step back, recharge, refocus, and be present in my own life and my own mind with peace and clarity for a little while and I also want to redesign my studio and enjoy wedding planning with the love of my life who deserves more of my time and energy. He deserves to see me happy, and I deserve to be happy. We deserve to be happy together at this time in our lives. I have wanted to redo my studio for a year, but I keep pushing it all off, because that’s what I do. I push things off that matter to me and my happiness to do for others 24/7, and I think I need to change that for a brief moment. I’ll still be paying attention, fully supporting President Trump, breaking news, commenting on news, doing research and I’ll be around. I will be present (I always am). But, I won’t be doing my show for a while. I’ll be back when the time is right. Thank you to everyone who’s been on this ride with me and to all of my podcast viewers. It means more to me than I can say.

Fentanyl strength copium.
“Iran cost us the election” is a myth. It was one part of a much bigger story. The Vanceguard/woke right is blaming the Iran war because they hate it, but ignoring the role tariffs played because they love them. Whatever you think of Iran or tariffs as a matter of policy, it’s intentionally dishonest.
