The IC is officially no more, off-break as follows we man: We to IC, see man: "Hi, IC, si man. We've been silent because we've been thinking about a lot of stuff, si man. "As you can probably guess, we've lost enthusiasm for pursuing anything further between us, and we owe you the courtesy of telling you that we're ending things, rather than just disappearing on you, si man." "You're one of the most beautiful women in fotos that we've ever seen, and if we ever find ourself in ____ [IC's town], maybe we'll look you up, si man. "Thanks for our chats, and all the best, si man." T-B. The IC responded as follows, see man: "Thanks T-B., si man. I really appreciate you too, si man. I really enjoy chatting with you, si man.

Columbia Activists Cement Toilets for Gaza The anti-Israel activists at Columbia have really stepped up their vandalism game. Usually they are content to spray paint a few buildings or overturn some furniture. This week they have escalated to pouring cement into all the toilets in a building which could result in thousands of dollars in damage that takes significant time to repair. They posted video of themselves on Instagram along with a lengthy description of their actions. [...] https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/01/31/columbia-activists-cement-toilets-for-gaza-n3799358

Didn't hear a word about this on the mainstream vehicles. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taking Care of Business: Trump Sends Envoy to Venezuela, He Promptly Returns With Freed Hostages Donald Trump sent former diplomat Richard Grenell, who served as the Acting Director of National Intelligence for a stint under the president's first term, down to Venezuela to—as our Ward Clark put it—"explain to [strongman/dictator Nicolás] Maduro what the new rules are." It didn't take long for Grenell to bring home results—in fact, after meeting with Maduro, Ric returned to the United States with six freed hostages: [...] https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2025/01/31/taking-care-of-business-trump-sends-envoy-to-venezuela-he-promptly-returns-with-freed-hostages-n2185071

Pharmahontas on the Warpath at the RFK Jr. Hearings It hasn't been my intention to run a series of columns chronicling the Democrats' long sojourn into the political wilderness, but let's face it — these things are writing themselves. Take, for example, the eight painful minutes that ensued when Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Pfizer), the self-styled Advocate For The People who rose to prominence as a fake Native American academic and who again and again is exposed as an utter fraud in politics, was given the microphone to examine Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Trump administration's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services. If you haven't seen this, you owe it to yourself to plow through the whole thing — if for no other reason than that you'll get an opportunity to see just what kind of individual they'll let into the Senate these days: [...] https://spectator.org/pharmahontas-on-the-warpath-at-the-rfk-jr-hearings/

Democrat Senators Oppose Diversity For One Day Only [...] The diversity, equity, and inclusion that typically serve as a pillar of the Democratic Party were briefly cast aside today in an all-out effort to prevent a woman and a brown man from obtaining prominent positions within the federal government. "We're pumping the brakes on all the diversity talk for today," said Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. "It's always important to us to advance the cause of underrepresented groups when filling jobs… just not today. We're not nearly as excited about putting a woman in an important government position today as we normally are. Tulsi Gabbard belongs in the kitchen making sandwiches. If we can get a Democrat back in the White House, that will be the time to push for diversity in cabinet positions."

BOOM! NTSB Chair Calls Out Media Hypocrisy on Crash Speculation The National Transportation Safety Board just gave an update on last night's midair collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines commuter flight. More than 60 individuals are presumed dead, and recovery efforts continue in the Potomac River. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't a lot of new information—with one exception: board member J. Todd Inman stated that "no chutes or slides were deployed" subsequent to the crash, indicating that there was no time to deploy emergency evacuation procedures. A reporter from NBC, Tom Costello, asked NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy, "Does it hurt your investigation process to have the president already suggesting possible causes here as you try to keep in mind and begin this investigation?" Homendy wasn't having it. [...] https://pjmedia.com/paula-bolyard/2025/01/30/boom-ntsb-director-calls-out-left-wing-media-hypocrisy-on-crash-speculation-n4936525
