Former Fake Republican --like many NeverTrumpers, he used to be a Fake Republican, now proudly declares himself a former (fake) Republican -- Joe Walsh says he'll never stop tweeting, because, damnit, he has a democracy to save, one pointless, repetitive, brainqueef tweet at a time.

And what prompted this very typical NeverTrump tweet about his own Bravery and Virtue?

Simple: Elon Musk changed the name of "Twitter" to "X," and Joe Walsh bravely, heroically said he will never stop tweeting, no matter what new corporate name Elon Musk gives to the platform.

Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom

You can call this platform "The Shithouse" for all I care. Doesn't matter to me. I'm gonna keep tweeting day & night because we have a democracy to defend.

God Bless You, Sir.

You make me want to be a better Grifter.

I know you'll never stop tweeting day and night -- you have nothing better to do. And one suspects that, like many on the left, you're being pad to tweet. Another "influencer" with no influence.

LOL, a Twitter "influencer" started screaming at car rental agent in Dubai and got arrested, now she's whining about it.

Tierra Allen -- better known to her 182,800 followers as "Sassy Trucker" -- has been stuck in the strict country since authorities whisked away her passport, the nonprofit group Detained in Dubai revealed Monday.

The Houston social media star, 29, claims the screaming stemmed from a verbal tussle between herself and the manager of a local car rental shop when she stopped in to pick up her personal belongings in April.

Allen's credit cards, debit cards and cellphone had been impounded along with her rental car the day before the blowup, after she and her friend were involved in a minor traffic accident near the Arabian Gulf.

The manager allegedly demanded money in exchange for the possessions and reacted with hostility toward Allen.

"He followed me outside the office and I felt very intimidated. I told him to stop but instead, he called the police and opened a case against me, apparently for 'screaming,'" Allen claims.

"I am in shock that he frightened me, I told him to stop, and now the police have said I can't go home. I told them I had a medical emergency and needed to return to the US but they wouldn't let me."

Don't worry, she's black and has "followers," so Biden will let three or four Muslim terrorists out of prison to get her back out of Dubai.

Sure, Media, whatever you say! You never lie, so why shouldn't I believe you now?

Senate looks to limit government's ability to interrogate political prisoners without their lawyers present, and build a Stasi file on them by collecting their public media postings.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has approved legislation that would curtail a controversial domestic intelligence program that let Department of Homeland Security officials interrogate jailed Americans without their lawyers present.

The proposal was passed last month in the committee's bill governing the intelligence community, but it was not widely noticed. It would significantly limit the type of people that DHS's intelligence officials can question as part of their domestic intelligence work. It also aims to curtail those officials' authority to collect Americans' social media posts and use them in intelligence products.

In March, POLITICO reported that officials in the DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis had been questioning people in prisons, jails and immigration detention centers without their lawyers present. The practice concerned civil liberties advocates, who said conversations between incarcerated people and government officials are inherently coercive.

Most of the "US" Women's Soccer team stood in sullen silence as our National Anthem was played before a game in New Zealand.

People are getting tired of these entitled brats' antics.

The Women's World Cup Soccer tournament got underway on Saturday in Aukland, New Zealand. The team won handily over Vietnam by a score of 3-0. But it was what didn't take place before the game that is really beginning to irk fans about this team, and some even are actively rooting against them. The Vietnamese team all put hand over heart and sang their national anthem, "Tien Quan Ca," or "Song of a Marching Army." The reaction by the American women at the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner," however, was markedly different. There was complete silence by all but a few members of the team. It is that silence that has many fans plenty ticked off and they voiced their anger on social media.

One tweet asked, "Can someone teach [the United States Women's Soccer team] the words to the 'Star Spangled Banner'? Their silence was deafening." Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik called it out for exactly what it was, "an international embarrassment [sic]." He added, "No one should be allowed to wear the American flag, and represent the U.S. if they don't believe in it. Most of them don't even know the words." While many of the social justice "statements" like kneeling during the playing of the anthem, begun by former NFL player Colin Kaepernick in 2016, have had their 15 minutes of fame and are not as prominent as they once were, the U.S. Women's soccer team has apparently decided to carry on the dubious tradition.

I think it's time to pack the team with Patriotic Transsexuals.

I visited the "Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies" website. Let's point, laugh, and feel depressed about the future based on other article titles:

It's literally all we see on TV, assholes.

Oh wow, she's still saying this. She really thinks this is her "Ask not what you can do for your country" line.

The great Kamala Harris impersonator says it's time to move on from saying this same line, because she needs new material to imitate.
