Both seem…bad 🤦🏻‍♂️

So, the guy who thinks that witches have taken over California is now the acting Secretary of the Navy? Super.

We are currently in the 3-5 day pause on the 14 day extension of the initial 48 hour hard deadline for the ceasefire.

F.B.I. Said to Have Investigated Times Reporter After Article on Patel’s Girlfriend

This is the kind of thing where, if you are a Democrat in charge, you haul Kash Patel's ass in front of a committee and give him one of the worst days of his miserable life. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Well, I guess that's what happens when you put a deranged fool and his lackeys in charge of the world's hegemon. Trump is making GWB look like a visionary genius in foreign policy.

I believe in redemption. But redemption requires remorse, accountability, and change. And nothing about Tucker Carlson suggests he’s earned any of it.

Traffic through the Panama Canal has risen amid the war in the Middle East and blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Canal authorities say Asia's refineries are choosing to buy oil or gas from the US instead of purchasing from Gulf countries that rely on the strait.

New in PN: Kash's kayfabe lawsuit

"Patel seems to think he dropped a world of hurt on The Atlantic when all he really did was show that both he and his attorneys seem to have been struggling with hangovers during their first year of law school."

Republicans: [unsavory tactics]

Trump’s Fed Chair Nominee Fails the Big Test The senators grilling Kevin Warsh didn’t cover themselves in glory either.

Trump's nominee for Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, had his confirmation hearing yesterday. He needed to answer 2 questions:
1) Is Trump’s criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) What would Warsh do if Trump threatened retribution against *him* as well?
He couldn't answer 1. Wasn't even asked 2.

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.

The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…
