many people would have enough to just rebuild a new house? That seems like it would limit you. And then of course there are endangered plants. So apparently getting around the fact that there are endangered plants is slowing down permits. But as somebody asked in the comments where I saw this, how did the endangered plants do during the fire? Isn't a fire worse than building? Yeah. So we'll keep a…

. So how do you stop that? So even though he stopped shipments from Venezuela, some people say that wasn't fentanyl anyway, but he did stop traffic coming in from Mexico. And I can't believe that the smugglers can't figure out how to just throw a bag of fentanyl over the fence. So they must be doing something right. But we'll give him credit for that. And I don't think another president could have done that.

Well, Russia is still claiming, according to the Washington Times, that the attack on Putin's home was real. And they now have an unexploded drone that they're showing on video to prove, look at this unexploded drone. It has evidence that it came from Ukraine. So remember, Ukraine said they didn't do it. The US said Ukraine didn't do it and that it was just an attack on something. It was kind of far away, but that Putin was just lying about it. Well, here's what I would advise you. Don't trust any report from a war zone. So maybe Ukraine was behind it. Maybe they intended to attack his residence but they showed a picture of a drone on the ground with no way to know if it's a real drone or if it's a real video. But what they have not done is show the damage from the attack. Am I right? What is the main thing you would expect? It's not as if no one's ever seen a picture of his residence. You don't think he'd be willing to show maybe just a closeup but something that shows there was damage on the actual residence because if the only thing you show me is an unexploded drone in the bushes, how do I know what that's about? So who do we trust? Nobody. I would not trust Ukraine who said they didn't do it, but I definitely wouldn't trust Putin who said they did do it. I definitely wouldn't trust the United States no matter what side they were on. So it's kind of a weird one. Probably works. You know, maybe Putin gets some propaganda benefit on that.

So apparently Elon Musk has signaled that he's going to massively fund Republicans for the midterms because he thinks that America is toast. Quote, America is toast. If th

e radical left wins, they will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud and won't be America anymore. That feels fair. That does feel fair, doesn't it? That we're so close to fixing a lot of stuff, but at the same time all it would take is one election, especially if the election is rigged. It would only take one election to reverse everything. We are really teetering on the edge here,…
