onally looked into the data you can't really trust either side. You should assume that the Republicans will say the Democrats are the violent ones even if they're not. And you should assume that the Democrats will say the Republicans are the violent ones even if they're not. So there's no credibility whatsoever to any of these claims. One of them is true because they're opposites. One of them is doing more bad things but I don't know which. And I'm not sure I care that much that one does a little bit more than the other because most of these people are individual nutcases. So I don't know. It just feels like there's definitely something to all these people getting worked up by the fake news. That's something to worry about. But it's a lot of crazy people.

Mario is writing about Ukraine. Apparently Russia launched last night 500 to 650 drones attacking Kiev and other parts of Ukraine I guess. Had 55 cruise missiles, eight Kalibrs I guess that's a missile, and two hypersonic missiles and several KH-59s. So that was a pretty major attack. So the question is is Russia increasing its acts because Trump is now basically saying he's going to help Ukraine actually just win the war outright. Maybe I think that's more negotiating than anything else but it's definitely a new look. And Trump has authorized Ukraine according to Austin Defender on X. He's authorized Ukraine to carry out long range drone and missile strikes against targets inside Russia. But some of them will require Pentagon approval.

So why would Russia treat it like they're at war with Ukraine if we're providing the missiles and giving them permission to use them deep inside Russia? Do you think that Russia will be able to forever resist lobbing a missile into the homeland of the United States? I don't think we're completely safe from Russia just making a point. Just lobbing some missiles into the US, maybe not having the most damage or death but just saying all right here's the deal. If you're going to help Ukraine lob missiles into Moscow we're going to lob some missiles into your cities because why wouldn't they? I mean really why wouldn't they? So I do worry that there's going to be a new level of escalation here that could come to the homeland but I don't know.

I do also assume that Trump and company know more than we do about what's up in Russia. One possibility is that our military and our government knows, and I don't know this to be true I'm just speculating, that Russia might be in worse shape than we think and that they might be closer to having to fold or give up. Maybe for economic reasons, maybe they don't want to lose their oil business. Maybe they know that if we totally unleash Ukraine with better weapons they're in trouble. So maybe Trump knows something we don't that Russia might be closer to something like a deal or a surrender. I don't know but I'll tell you it looks pretty dangerous. We'll keep an eye on that.

Did you know that Turning Point USA is listed by the ADL in their glossary of extremism and hate? So that's the ADL. Elon Musk says that's deeply wrong. And it makes me wonder if the ADL should list themselves as a hate group because do they meet all the criteria? What would it take to be a hate group? The ADL says that I'm a Holocaust denier. Is that something that you do if you're not a hate group? Why would you even do that? Anyway so you always want to be in the team that gets to label others. You don't want to be in the team that gets labeled. So the ADL I think its purpose has maybe run its course. If I had to guess I think there's a nonzero chance the ADL will not be in business a year from now because I think Israel doesn't run
