What the hell, his lips were moving.

WE’VE DESCENDED INTO SOME SORT OF BIZARRE HELL-WORLD IN WHICH BILL MAHER IS A VOICE OF SANITY:
Bill Maher drags his woke guest out of his liberal bubble and tells him to his face he’s why Kamala Harris lost.
It all started when David Cross revealed his 9-year-old daughter has “trans friends.”
“Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?” Maher asked.
Cross replied:… pic.twitter.com/fAFKVZiW9D

Exit quote: “Good luck with President Vance. Because, as I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You’re just why she lost and this is a case of that.“
THE SECSTATE WE NEED:
Secretary Rubio just laid down the law over the Straits of Hormuz.
Iran does not get to extort the world and play toll collector on international waters.

YOU HAD ME AT “OBAMA IS A LIAR”:
Obama is a liar. He says "we don't know the motive" but the shooter left a manifesto targeting Trump and officials.
Democrats know violent rhetoric has consequences and voters will punish it.

THEIR “PRINCIPLES” ARE LARGELY BASED ON AN UNINTERRUPTED FLOW OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY: Houston, Dallas And Austin Cave On ICE. “When last we checked, Democrat-controlled Houston was ready to cave on their anti-ICE police guidelines under the pressure of having the state withhold $110 million for their scofflaw ways. Now we have the follow-up: Houston, Dallas and Austin all caved.”
CHRISTIAN TOTO: Melania’s Right, But Firing Jimmy Kimmel Would Be Wrong.
The First Amendment allows for Kimmel’s brand of misinformation and hate. It’s up to audiences to either tune away or hang on every bit of his propaganda.
Firing Kimmel now is akin to wiping conspiracy monger Alex Jones off of social media a few years back. It might have felt good and righteous, but what happened next? Well, we all saw that scenario.
- The Twitter Files
- Scary Poppins
- Big Tech crushed conservative comedy
- A U.S. president got banished from social media
- A major news scandal got buried by social media
At this point, if ABC actually did the moral thing and fired Kimmel it would look like the Trumps made it happen. Instead of the truth – a late-night show host has lost his way, spreads rage on a nightly basis and has forgotten what his job description entails.
Still, what the First Lady said needed to be shared. It matters. Now, it’s up to the rest of us to reject Kimmel or allow more of his unhinged commentary.
That’s the American way, for better and worse.
Kimmel only gets about “2.17 million viewers,” according to TV Insider in March, so it seems as if the vast majority of Americans have rejected that “unhinged commentary” already.
THE NEEDS OF THE PARTY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, COMRADE:
I’m just an unfrozen caveman so this world confuses me. But how does it make sense that the 3 liberal justices eagerly upheld the much more egregious 48-4 California maps but dissented to upholding the Texas map? https://t.co/dMe4N5yyYA pic.twitter.com/6WCvmqaf6f

THOMAS JIPPING & HANS VON SPAKOVSKY: April’s Dishonorable Judicial Conduct Award in the Swinging Body Parts Case.
EUROPE IN THE TWILIGHT:
Hearing a lot of variations on this theme lately. Seems to boil down to women within institutions policing process, where men demanded results. Frankly, looking back over 40-odd years, sounds kinda familiar https://t.co/SeV1XgwGmy

Tweet continues:
Today I do not see this anymore.
The men have become weak and subservient to women
The women have become masculine and lost all femininity
It is not pretty anymore
LGBTQ? Mass Immigration? Islam? Great!!
This all started because men tried to be nice and listened to women. But it destroyed Europe.
If the West, Europe or Germany wants to become great again, we need to not let women rule society.
Flashback: The Merkel Catastrophe:
Angela Merkel on Monday downed what she no doubt viewed as a poisoned chalice. To keep her power and her grand coalition, the German chancellor agreed finally to stanch the flow of migrants by setting up camps at the border and turning away those who had already applied for asylum in other European countries. The concession comes three years after Merkel flung open the gates to more than a million newcomers from the Middle East and Africa. For much of that time, she refused to put a cap on the number Germany would accept.
Whatever the immediate political outcome—Merkel’s position remains tenuous amid a mighty anti-immigration backlash on the center and far right—she has already cemented her legacy. And it is a baleful one. Inspired by what can only be described as a kind of liberal fundamentalism, Merkel’s response to the migrant crisis destabilized Europe and discredited the Western project in the eyes of global multitudes. Behind Donald Trump and Brexit and other populist uprisings of our time lies the figure of “Mama Merkel,” as Syrian refugees to Germany lovingly nicknamed their patroness.
As Jim Geraghty tweeted in 2015:

Related: We’ve “defined deviancy down.” What happens when the real thing shows up en masse?
It is insane to think about how much the term 'rape culture' was thrown around when I was at school in reference to occasional sexist remarks made by male students. Now we have migrants literally using their culture to justify sexual assaults and rape, the same people who… https://t.co/HtQDmtw56y

I CAN SEND A MESSAGE TO NEWSOM IN JUST TWO WORDS: Gas station owner speaks for every Californian with four-word message to Gavin Newsom — as another hike looms.
“Adding insult to injury,” Dave Bohorquez, a local gas station owner told ABC 10. “We are just holding on, hoping to ride through it.”
The comment points to a looming July 1 hike in California’s gas tax — an annual increase tied to inflation — set to hit drivers already paying among the highest prices in the country.
Across California, gas prices hovered around $5.93 a gallon Sunday morning — well above the national average of $4.09 — even after a temporary easing of global oil tensions tied to Iran.
Gooder and harder, California.

REMEMBER, WHEN DEMS SAY “MY DEMOCRACY,” THEY REALLY MEAN “OUR MOB VIOLENCE”:
The whole point of taking a vote and having an election is to prevent violence. Leftists are sore losers who have decided they will reject any outcome and escalate to violence if they cannot rig the process in their favor. https://t.co/7zkOE8c38x
