t with soldiers yet, how do you like the fact that that's the guy who might be taking a drug, almost certainly is taking a drug that guaranteed could make you more confident and therefore more prone to risk? What do you think? I feel like we need to know that. And if we don't know it that should be grounds for impeachment. That's what I think. There's a story that this is how Tucker Carlson is fr…

she's a woman and that also anybody who has a criticism of her policies is a misogynist. You Nikki Haley, you I do not want you anywhere near the Oval Office because we don't need a sexist in the office, right? We don't need somebody who's an obvious misandrist, sexist, woke, artist, money spending piece of, well that's just my opinion.

All right. Let's see. So see if you could recognize what this topic is. I'll read a quote and this comes out of a larger piece but see if you can find the topic. If the United States allows a country to be crushed in an illegal invasion it will raise grave questions about the credibility of defense and strategic agreements that underpin the entire Western world. So allows a country to be crushed by an illegal invasion. He's talking about the border, right? He's talking about our border because we're being crushed by an illegal invasion and it would hurt our credibility or defense or strategic agreements. Now this is Stephen Collinson talking about our need to fund Ukraine. Yeah we need to fund the border in Ukraine so that we're credible while our own border has people streaming across it. He actually said that. Imagine writing that and you know with no sense of awareness about how that sounds. Amazing anyway. Wow.

So there was a Trump ruling that Trump liked in New York City and so I saw Trump saying he was happy about the ruling and so I said oh what is this ruling? So I went to look for it. Couldn't find it. Couldn't find it. So I finally had to ask Grok to go find me the news about why is Trump happy about some ruling. So I found it out. So that was one thing that Grok did that helped me. I couldn't find it in the news. It seemed like it would be big news but wasn't on anybody's front page. So here's the ruling. I guess at the moment the judge who has already ruled about Trump's so-called inflating his assets etc. So he's already ruled that that was fraudulent. But then the question is what's the penalty. And one of the potential penalties is that Trump would lose all of his business or have to put it in some kind of a trust or something in New York. So apparently the judge has decided to temporarily halt that so we don't know what happens in the long run. But at the moment the judge is not closing down Trump's business in New York. Is that because it's so obvious that there was no victim of the crime and they would not close down anybody else's business in the same circumstance? Is it just too embarrassing at this point? Looks like it.

Well Hunter Biden is in trouble now. He's got some charges against him. So he's got what, nine charges, mostly for taxes or all for taxes I guess. I guess he was writing off his hookers and his drugs and his sex clubs and everything else as business and treating things as loans and oh my God it was just a mess. So apparently his tax cheating was just epic. Like it wasn't just a little bit. It wasn't just when he was on drugs. He was just a gigantic tax cheat allegedly. We'll see if they prove it. But here's what CNN says. Oh by the way we there's no FARA charges. So FARA is a thing that says you have to register as a foreign agent if you're doing work for other countries that would have a political impact I guess. So he didn't register that way but he was clearly taking money from China and Ukraine etc. So there's a thought that because the language that we've seen does mention his work in the other countries and it mentions some specifically that probably there might be some consideration of some further charges later about those not being a registered lobbyist thing. But at the moment it's just about his not paying taxes and he spent his money on drugs and escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cars, clothing and other items. Yikes.

As Stephen Miller points out on X, you have to appreciate that the previous president's son, so Trump's son, was at a meeting once and it was a two-year long news cycle. And now we learn that the

current president's son is basically Patrick Bateman. And CNN fact checker, CNN's fact checker is away on leave and the Washington Post fact checker is on strike. So the Biden news comes out when the CNN fact checker is on vacation or on leave and the Washington Post is on strike. That's too good. That is a good post. Stephen Miller, nicely done on that one. So what do you think? Do you think tha…
