NSA Controversy In A Nutshell"Federal courts have consistently ruled that a president has authority under the Constitution to conduct foreign intelligence surveillance against our enemies. Predecessors of mine have used that same constitutional authority," Mr. Bush said. A week or two back a commeter challenged a liberal to say precisely what he would or would not do to protect this country's security. Apart from the obvious (don't invade Iraq, unless, I guess, the feared French Army was contributing 90% of the troops and airpower), he basically insisted that the Dems would do everything to protect this country as Bush has been doing. Except they'd be... nicer and less polarizing about it, or something. Prompting the commenter to sum up the liberals' position as: The Liberal Democratic Party We'll do everything Bush is doing! But we won't be HITLER! That's something I've noticed. The left likes to complain that Bush is acting as a dictator, etc., but when you suggest that they wouldn't do as much on security as Bush does, they claim "Oh dear, no, you misunderstand! We'd do everything Bush is doing! Plus maybe a little extra!" I don't get it. How can you simultaneously be for and against something? The Democrats have had this problem for, ummmm, forever, but especially in the past five years. You have to take a position at some point, people. You cannot simply perpetually whine about Bush's decisions and then claim "We'd have made the same decisions, only better and smarter." The very fact that you're making these nonsensical, self-contradictory criticisms sort of casts doubt on that "better and smarter" bit. Thanks to The Blogometer. posted by Ace at 01:29 PM

Star Trek "Unification" short film seems to be hitting people in the feels
Thanks to Anna Puma. Personally, I don't really get it. It's just a lot of fan service and images created by AI deepfaking Shatner and Nimoy. But people seem to like it.
"The Tears of CBS:" Norah O'Donnell and other CBS communist propaganda ministers have the sads on election night
Incredibly, during the night, and probably for the first time ever, Norah O'Donnell admits, starting around 4:00, that maybe Biden shouldn't have cancelled all of the Trump executive orders "that really locked down the border." Seriously -- has anyone on CBS ever even allowed that possibility, except after it was clear Trump had won?
CONCERNING: Ana Kasparian afflicted by some kind of seizure as she repeats the left's attacks on her that she's "just a secret right-winger"

Trump announces RFKJr. for HHS (via the NY Post):
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his announcement, making rare use of his X account to broadcast a cabinet pick.
