90 Miles From Tyranny

AZ man shares photo of all the unrequested 2024 mail-in ballots he’s already received in the mail…

A man named Tyler Bowyer recently shared a disturbing message and photo that could be a grim harbinger of things to come. Tyler posted a snapshot of unrequested ballots that arrived at his home for the upcoming election. What makes this even more troubling is that the ballots are for people who don’t even reside at his address.

Sadly, we’ve got to break it to Tyler: his GOP elected officials have done absolutely nothing to address this issue in his state.

Bowyer:

Look how many ballots came to my house today, @maricopacounty!

Guess how many voters I have at my house?

2!

These people haven’t lived in this house for many many years. Also, we did not receive their ballots in previous elections.

How is it right to send early ballots to people who haven’t requested them who haven’t lived in a location for so long?

The only people that could be okay with this don’t take elections seriously.

Tyler is spot-on. How can anyone take an election seriously when random, unsolicited ballots are floating around like balloons? Democrats claim that we have the freest and fairest elections in the world. Yet, in reality, they’ve weaponized ballots to gain a clear advantage. Unless this cheating is stopped, we’ll never see a truly legitimate election in...

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya says 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' blocks people from seeing that many of Trump's policies were solid.

Chamath Palihapitiya, founder and CEO of Social Capital, speaks during the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, on May 8, 2017.

Former President Donald Trump's peace-nurturing policies look "pretty incredible" in the wake of violence erupting in the Middle East, a billionaire Democrat says.

During last week's episode of the All-In Podcast, prominent venture capital investor Chamath Palihapitiya, who previously called the former Republican president "an idiot," says it is time to re-evaluate President Trump's accomplishments.

Commenting just days after Hamas, an Iran-backed terrorist group, invaded Israel and raped, killed, and kidnapped innocent civilians, Mr. Palihapitiya lauded the Trump Administration for its foreign-policy gains.

Labeling himself "a Democrat who has been left 'homeless,' who is now definitely in the center, but probably leaning increasingly Right," Mr. Palihapitiya said that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" has blinded people to the Trump administration's achievements.

"What those guys did was pretty incredible, in hindsight," Mr. Palihapitiya said.

The podcast moderator, fellow tech investor Jason Calacanis, said he's "no fan of Trump" but chimed in: "It's a miracle, actually, when you look at it, what they did."

Mr. Palihapitiya, a former Facebook executive, listed several accomplishments of the former president's team, including brokering the Abraham Accords. That 2020 agreement forged cooperation among Middle Eastern nations that have clashed over investments, tourism, energy, and other key issues.

President Trump's administration made strides toward a peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Mr. Palihapitiya noted.
'We Killed the Message'President Trump received several Nobel Peace Prize nominations for his foreign-policy efforts.

"To really be able to, like, find long-lasting peace is just a real example for the world," said Mr. Palihapitiya, who was born on the South Asian island of Sri Lanka.

Because of the violence in the Middle East, "this is a moment where you have to start to re-underwrite" the former president's policies and actions, Mr. Palihapitiya said.

Nine months ago, Mr. Palihapitiya called President Trump "an idiot savant, minus the savant" on that same podcast, which he hosts with three well-known friends. That remark was made during a discussion of the former president's legal troubles over his alleged mishandling of documents with classified markings.

Those issues notwithstanding, Mr. Palihapitiya says: "So much of the work that happened in that administration turns out to have been right. And that's what's so frustrating for me."

"The work on the border wall, we didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message. Turned out it was right," he said. Ditto for "issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero," along with the Trump administration's proposal to restructure the Middle East.

"When are we going to stop shooting ourselves in the foot? And when are we going to actually see and take the time to look past who is saying things and actually listen to...

It looks pretty silly to call conservative Americans ‘terrorists’ when there’s so much real terrorism going on in the world.

After Hamas’ violent attacks on Israel last week, Rep. Ilhan Omar finally found someone she can condemn as a “terrorist”: Ohio Republican Jim Jordan.

Omar chose this moment in world events to resurrect and post a quote from former House Speaker John Boehner describing Jordan as a “legislative terrorist” (a description Boehner apparently used to complain about Jordan’s ability to make “Boehner’s life miserable”).

Thankfully, others have stepped up to disavow the heinous behavior of Hamas. A San Francisco Board of Supervisors declaration condemned the “domestic terrorist organization” and blamed its sponsor states for putting “weapons in the hands of those who would harm and terrorize us.” Rep. Jamaal Bowman called for focusing “energy” on fighting “the Nazis” before “anything else.” The National School Boards Association wrote to the attorney general about the “immediate threat” posed by “actions of malice [and] violence,” urging a response to “terrorism and hate crimes.” Whoopi Goldberg of “The View” bravely denounced them as “terrorists.” Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage condemned the “terrorist” at the top.

Omar, to her credit, decried the “ethnic cleansing” and “war crimes.”

Just kidding! None of these principled condemnations were directed at the terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilians last week. Issued over the past several years, they respectively referred to the National Rifle Association, Republicans in Congress, concerned parents at school board meetings, congressional Republicans (again), and Donald Trump. Omar’s “ethnic cleansing” comment was actually about Israel urging residents and others in Gaza to evacuate before incoming airstrikes against Hamas targets, while her “war crimes” remark slammed Israel for turning off electricity in Hamas-controlled territory.

Meanwhile, left-wing college students, their professors, and other congressional Democrats have found themselves unable to condemn the actual terrorists who killed, raped, and kidnapped unsuspecting Israelis and their families. Student groups and Marxist outfits like Black Lives Matter have aligned themselves with the terrorists, while others have reserved harsher words for the defending Israeli forces than for their attackers.

Why is it so hard to call a terrorist — a real one, who murders families in their homes and, yes, beheads babies — a terrorist? For a known antisemite like Omar, the answer is...
