Earl Spencer condemning the ‘malign cancerous’ way the media supposedly treat Harry and Meghan while promoting a book that, in my view, treats King Charles similarly (even as the King battles cancer) is a striking contradiction.

I want to criticize Mitch McConnell’s record now, and I will continue after his death. He collected $43,000 while absent from work and received healthcare benefits after voting for policies that made coverage unaffordable for millions. That is indefensible. Tone rewrite only.

I think X has the strongest concentration of researchers, builders, coders, investors, and unconventional thinkers among social platforms. There is plenty of noise, but careful curation can expose users to people who challenge ideas and sharpen how they think. The platform’s value depends on whom you choose to follow.

More than 80 federal welfare programs create a fragmented system of separate applications, verification rules, agencies, and spending records. A unified system could reduce bureaucracy, improve coordination, and make fraud or waste easier to detect. Americans who need help deserve a simpler process, and taxpayers deserve clearer accountability for every dollar. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author’s and are not independently verified.

I am announcing an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that, as I understand it, gives the United States permanent control over Greenland’s security at no cost to the United States. It would bar adversaries from establishing military bases, maintaining a military presence, or making sensitive investments there without American approval. The agreement also calls for a larger U.S. military presence developed with Greenlanders. I see it as a lasting strategic gain for the United States, Denmark, Greenland, and our allies.

Effective immediately, I am barring CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House. I believe their coverage of my administration is persistently false, and I do not think outlets should retain presidential access while publishing what I view as fiction. I will consider the same action against other organizations. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author’s and are not independently verified.

If Hasan Piker believes America is worse than Al-Qaeda, the obvious question is why he chooses to live and build wealth here. The freedom to denounce the country from a lucrative platform is evidence against his own caricature. The rhetoric is revolutionary; the lifestyle is not.

Tariffs can raise consumer prices, but the same basic question applies to corporate income taxes: who ultimately bears the cost? If the objection is that businesses do not absorb taxes cleanly, that principle cannot apply only when Trump chooses the tax. The serious debate is about each tax's burden and trade-offs—not which party imposed it.

Supporting Erika, Charlie's mission, and TPUSA does not require pretending every decision is defensible. “Pick up the mic” means something because supporters see it as Charlie's mic. Putting TPUSA's logo beside people who oppose what he stood for signals endorsement. A big tent with no gatekeeping eventually stands for nothing.

Anti-MAGA third-party projects keep promising a movement larger than MAGA without showing an electoral base. Their candidates struggle, their media circles repeat the same pessimism, and their actual effect may be to help Democrats rather than build a viable alternative. Tone rewrite only.

He sent everyone home early while gas and groceries are still sky high, and the Pentagon is being led recklessly. Why would anyone give them two more years?

I have spent 61 days in FDC Miami’s special housing unit. I was moved to a cell that I say has no hot water or air conditioning and is infested with roaches, while senior staff have not addressed my complaints. I am pursuing legal action over the conditions and asking to be treated like any other prisoner. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author’s and are not independently verified.

Republicans should keep the Save Our Bacon Act out of the Farm Bill. In my view, it would benefit Chinese-owned Smithfield at the expense of American farmers and consumers. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Everything that is going wrong is going wrong because of the Iran conflict. If Iran was not close to a nuclear weapon and neocons pushed Trump into war, they betrayed his non-neocon voters. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

AI could create enormous opportunities, but politicians and pundits are rushing to regulate it through fear before they understand it. Even people who once defended markets are joining the demand for more government control. I think that risks slowing innovation to preserve political power rather than protect the public.

I could talk for hours about modern art and why so much of it doesn’t work for me. Duchamp is one of my least favorite examples.

Do y’all understand the kind of reckless, thoughtless groupthink it takes to make a chart look like this?

It'll be a good day in January when all these Republicans, who lost their primaries, are out of Congress for good. Their daily complaints are getting old.

I believe political institutions and media have deepened division by framing opponents as enemies. The midterms will determine whether Trump can keep advancing his agenda or whether Democrats and resistant Republicans can block and reverse it. Supporters who want that agenda preserved need to vote.

Claims about water, energy, jobs, safety, competition and subsidies now drive a bipartisan push to restrict AI and data centers. I think freezing or heavily regulating the technology would risk obstructing the next industrial transformation.

Listening to civil servants in Parliament, what strikes me is the disconnect from the private sector that funds them. Out there, nobody has a guaranteed pay rise, a comfortable pension or a job that survives the company running out of money; every month the wages, rent and tax must be found. Inside the state it is four day weeks and nobody sacked, spending money the productive economy earned. Government should run the way every small business must: money is finite, performance matters, failure has consequences. Tone rewrite only.

Tomorrow the leaders of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland meet to sign a declaration planning the breakup of the United Kingdom. I think that is a mistake. We are one people on these islands, too interwoven for a border not to hurt all of us. Ask a separatist "Am I a foreigner?" and none can say yes. The union is what let us flourish; put the borders back and we compete against our own brothers and sisters. And a vote would not settle it: every election afterwards would be fought by a rejoin faction. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Self-control and exercising complete mastery of your anger is one of the foremost masculine traits. Losing your temper over a game is childish behavior. Just a pure exhibition of weakness.
