Valerie Ann Smith claims that BLEACH is MEDICINE. Yeah, everybody knows it kills deadly pathogens on contact. It'll kill you too if you put it in your body. I'm reminded of 2020, when Trumpy suggested using disinfectant inside the body. (Continued)

Just in case you're not clear. Do not take fake medicines made from chlorine dioxide. "Chlorine dioxide releases highly reactive chlorite ions with high oxidative potential, which can inflict damage to the cells that are exposed to it." (Continued) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Valerie Ann Smith is going to get somebody killed and Peter Kory are going to get somebody killed by following their criminally dangerous advice.

Trump is the trashiest president in US history. Both in his behavior and his taste in decor.
There is something so unAmerican and so disturbing about an American president demeaning and poking fun at a fellow American president in the presence of a communist leader, while the previous president is battling cancer. It’s just so sickening.

Valerie Ann Smith, once again posts this blatant lie. • Fatality rate of Ebola Zaire: 66% • Fatality rate of patients with Ebola Zaire treated with remdesivir: 53%. She knows that NONE of her followers will read the study that she posted.

4/4 Year-over-year, 2026 vs 2025. 2026 fall trendline has completely broken away from 2025, going into peak season. Little doubt that cases will more than double in 2026 over 2025, and 2025 set a 3 decade record.

Community notes for the win. Yes, America, I know it's been a tough competition, but there is ZERO DOUBT that Tommy Tuberville is the stupidest member of the United States Senate. He is as stupid as his name indicates.
I know the deranged Democrats don’t like the fact that I called out the insane FURRY CULTURE this week. But the truth is, there is an ALARMING number of these DERANGED people working in our airline industry. Don’t believe me? Just a few months ago, PILOTS were MEOWING and BARKING at each other over the radio at DCA.
Community note
The audio of pilots meowing and barking at DCA was a longstanding aviation joke/meme on the emergency guard frequency 121.5, unrelated to furries or any subculture, per reports and pilot accounts. fearoflanding.com/demystifying/m… abcnews.com/US/meow-meow-p… nytimes.com/2026/04/16/us/…

With James Carville told Bill Clinton in 1992, "It's the ECONOMY, stupid." Trump is eating a shit on Trade, The Economy and Inflation. He's even underwater on immigration. The American public believes he's failing at everything he said he would do.... (Continued)

... and some things he said he wouldn't do. The American public believes that he is failing on every single policy initiative.

New Trump ad. 1. Weird AF. 2. Feels like fascist propaganda. 3. Didn't realize Trump was running for office at the moment. 4. "Paid for by The US government?" So, it's a crime. Blatant violation of The Hatch Act.
So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show. It says “Paid for by the US Government.” This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” - over images of Trump. @CBSMiami @CBSNews

Tommy Tuberville, simultaneously having the stupidest name and being the stupidest person in the United States Senate, is focusing on the real-world issues and concerns of Americans right now: Furries in the airline industry.
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

Yeah, your stepson is best friends with a Russian gangster, Putin oligarch and Russian intelligence asset.
