If @karolineleavitt, or any PR person from anywhere, called me a left-wing hack and went off on me after asking a legit question, I’d tell she’s a disgrace to her job and to go to hell. This WH press corps is gutless. They don’t even stand up for one another. Some free press, no.

Cashed out some crypto profits and grabbed a new car. Today my coach and I ran a trade and cleared just over $40K in about three hours. Big thanks to @TennesseeTracy it’s definitely been paying off.

Holy shit. The Washington Post is not sending a single reporter to the Winter Games. That sports section is where I found my voice, where I covered 4 Olympic Games — 2 of them the Winter Olympics. My colleagues were some of the best and brightest in all of journalism. Jesus.

I’m sorry. As we now know with Me-Ma and her brood, not everyone should be allowed to reproduce.

Correction: these are air miles just since Week 16 because, like, it would probably be hard to fly just 6,000 miles for an entire season. #IAmAMathIgnoramus
I don’t know where @AnitaMarks got this stat but I love it: The Rams have flown 13,500 miles this year for games as opposed to just 6,000 air miles for the Seahawks. Jet lag the past five months will do the Rams in. Book it. 😛

It’s been said, famously by the late basketball coach Jim Valvano and others, that everyone should laugh, think and cry at least once a day. Breaks up the unfeeling numbness of a broken world. This took care of the cry part today. Timeline cleanser.
We were the good guys. We can choose to be again.

I gotta give it up to @karolineleavitt for consistency. She still has the reply up where she chastises an in-house reporter for saying Trump didn’t say “Iceland” instead of “Greenland.” You can’t make these sorry-ass people up. #LegallyDumbBlonde
Just a reminder, if the Press Sec is willing to brazenly lie about this -- something that was on camera, that happened several times, that millions of people saw -- she's willing to lie about anything.

Jesus Christ, JD. @Timodc and @jonfavs respond to Vance's comments on the 5-year-old detained by ICE.

These pathetic souls @WhiteHouse not only edited a photo to make this woman look like she’s crying, but they kept the post up after their forgery was found out. It’s like @PressSec saying POTUS never confused Iceland for Greenland. They have no shame and no bottom. Jesus.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The photo of Armstrong's arrest posted by DHS Sec Noem showed Armstrong's face as composed and expressionless. About one half hour later, the official X account of The White House posted the same image with digital edits and no disclaimer that the image had been altered. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/202…

I want you to understand who that man is. Michael Fanone was a member of the Capitol Police. He wasn’t on shift that day - he self deployed when his colleagues call for back-up. Fanone *WAS* a Trump supporter and voter. He showed up to defend his oath. He was beaten, tased, dragged down the capitol steps, suffered a heart attack, a concussion and a traumatic brain injury being assaulted by rioters. Due to his injuries that day he retired, unable to serve. He also lost a number of friends that day due to violence that took their lives. He stood his ground and defended the members of Congress that were inside. He’s spent every day since, denouncing Trump and the Jan 6th riots, and pushing for accountability. He lashed out at first at statements by Troy Nehls, a Trump loyalist who pushed for a new committee to investigate Jan 6th blaming the officers for the violence, and claiming it was entrapment. Nehls has even suggested that it was the officers own faults that they got injured, or that Jan 6th was “staged” And then Ivan Ranklin, a far-right conspiracy theorist and Michael Flynn associate made further comments. Ranklin is the one who falsely accused Capitol police of planting a device on Jan 6th. And that is why, the scruffy looking tattooed former Trump voter, looked like he was about to punch somebody. Fanone is rough around the edges - but he is an American hero!

Never let this level of insanity and blatant lying become the norm. Always receive it with shock and continue to be repulsed by it. There must always be pushback to this dystopian, 1984, autocratic lunacy. #KaroLyingLeavitt

Notice what they never call @JesseBWatters: Loyal. Trustworthy. Honest. Because they know he’s a cheat and that’s what scares them most.
Watters: Notice what they never call Trump: dumb Because they know he’s smart and that’s what scares them the most.

From as far back as Trayvon Martin, I’ve always admired LeBron’s efforts at being socially conscious. He doesn’t always hit the mark but he has convictions. But this MLK Nike shoe with colors of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis? About as tone-deaf and insensitive as it comes. Naw.

I’ve got no problem with an ESPN cameraman and the director in the truck putting up a live shot of a porn star who now attends UM law school. But when you keep going back to the same woman, that’s just pornhub-creep cringe. We still objectify way too much as a gender.

Somebody check the weather. Hell hath just froze over. I actually agree for once with anti-wokeologist @JonnyRoot_ . Praise Jesus. And Allah. And Abraham. And Buddah. And all atheists.
Miami QB Carson Beck walking off the field without shaking Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza’s hand after the National Championship, is classless, in my opinion. Losing is tough, but show some sportsmanship and congratulate your competitor.

Anyone know how to enlist in the Greenlander army? Asking for a friend.
