Rolf Harris 😂 I haven’t heard that one in a long time.

Got mine today!

No worries! Hope you have been well. 😊

They don’t believe Trump is involved and the usually spin, all their enemies will be implicated and go to prison.

🤣😂🤣

Jake Angeli-Chansley @AmericaShaman •1h ... Its time to play WHAT IF! WHAT IF...in order for Trump to get BACK into the billionaire's club...he had to fuck a corpse AGAIN... How Many Times Did Trump File For Bankruptcy? THAT is YOUR President! NOT MINE! I am the President of the New Constitutional Republic of the U.S.A.

Patriots are in control. 🤣

At a recent right-wing event, far-right conspiracy theorist Lara Logan claimed that she found out from a "US intelligence source" that previously "they were harvesting adrenochrome" in Iraq.

After years of believing there's nothing new of value in Epstein's files, I'm starting to think that there's something potentially devastating to Trump there that he and his inner circle are desperate to cover up.

It's amazing what telling people not to talk about something will do.

On a podcast last week, Mark Lynch, who is running against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) next year in the Republican primary, claimed that John Podesta "was the head of Pizzagate," referring to the false far-right conspiracy theory: "Everybody remembers that, the sex trafficking of our children."

Pardon Tracker: Pardoned Capitol Rioters Continue to Face Legal Consequences Several Capitol Rioters that were pardoned by President Donald Trump continue to face legal consequences for additional crimes — related and unrelated to their participation in the Capitol Riot.

NEW Pardon Tracker Dispatch: At least 20 pardoned Capitol Rioters have been arrested or faced additional criminal charges since receiving pardons from Donald Trump, or have faced additional legal consequences for their actions after participating in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Conspiracy Theories About the Texas Floods Lead to Death Threats Disinformation around a “weather weapon” and cloud seeding is being widely promoted by everyone from anti-government extremists to GOP influencers—and leading to real-world consequences.

Extremists, right-wing influencers and GOP lawmakers spent the days after the tragic Texas floods pushing conspiracies about "weather weapons."

On Sunday, a weather radar system was vandalized and one extremist group is taking credit

Racist AI-generated videos are the newest slop garnering millions of views on TikTok

New by @abbierichards.bsky.social

Google’s Veo AI video generator is seemingly being used to generate videos depicting racist and antisemitic tropes www.mediamatters.org/tiktok/racis...

This would make this at least the 2nd shooting in recent years from someone who was a fan of Infowars. The 2016 Pizzagate shooter was also a known fan of the far-right conspiracy theory outlet.

Now you understand the pain in Dan Bongino’s eyes. He knows. He knows about the man in the stairs who lives behind the toilet in grandma’s basement.

The view among conspiracy theory influencers about the Trump/Musk falling out is so far split between the idea that it's all fake and a coordinated plot to expose anti-Trump Republicans, and that Trump never needed Musk in the first place. Few, if any, are siding with Musk over Trump.

A Donald Trump TruthSocial repost: There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference.

Trump just reposted on TruthSocial that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced by "clones, doubles, and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities."

Honestly the best thing about Twitter these days is watching Nazis and QAnoners get into fights with Grok for not being cooked enough.

In recent days on podcasts, Oath Keepers & J6 participants Stewart Rhodes & Jessica Watkins discussed being in jail with fellow J6 participants who supported QAnon & them pushing QAnon onto Rhodes & Watkins. In response, the two said they told them it was "gibberish" & "crazy crap," respectively.

Trump calls for investigations into Harris, Obama as administration targets foes The heightened demands for legal repercussions came as the Justice Department announced criminal charges against Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver.

I spoke to Spectrum News about what it means when the president retweets insane QAnon memes about former presidents and current pop stars being put in front of "military tribunals."

A Few Lines About “Cocaine-Gate” Why did a very dumb Alex Jones conspiracy theory about the leaders of Europe doing cocaine on a train take off? And is it likely to stick around?

NEW: I wrote about the absurd Alex Jones/"cocaine train" conspiracy theory, and why his audience is primed for nonsense that casts the leaders of the west as drugged-out hoopleheads toying with our lives.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI Can’t Stop Talking About ‘White Genocide’ In response to X user queries about everything from sports to Medicaid cuts, the xAI chatbot inserted unrelated information about “white genocide” in South Africa.

Elon's efforts to alter the algorithm of his AI to suit his needs appears to have completely broken Grok, as it currently cannot stop talking about "white genocide"

On a Proud Boys-affiliated podcast, January 6 participant Gina Bisignano said she was "so obsessed with ... Pizzagate" & "the eating of the children" & would have on her TV QAnon-affiliated podcasts & content like "Fall of the Cabal" (along with Alex Jones).

Trump on Truth Social: "I am pleased to announce that the Board of the Holocaust Memorial Council has been completely formed: Siggy Flicker, Tila Falic, Jackie Zeckman, Rabbi Nate Segal, Jonathan Burkan, Lee Lipton, Betty Schwartz, Fred Marcus, Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz, Sid Rosenberg, Ariel Abergel, Barbara Feingold, Alex Witkoff, and Robert Garson. They are all strong supporters of Israel, and will ensure we, NEVER FORGET. Congratulations to all!"

Siggy Flicker on Twitter/X: "Q Rocks!!! #patriots #WWG1WGA." An image is attached with a Q on it along with the text, "An intelligence dissemination operation conducted by the White House and connected Military Intelligence insiders to BYPASS the Fake News Media and inform the public of an ongoing shadow civil war happening between Allied Patriots and the Deep State."

Trump has appointed Siggy Flicker — who has previously tweeted in support of QAnon and written, "Q Rocks!!!" — to the Board of the Holocaust Memorial Council.

I can’t recall the last time I got emotional listening to a podcast but @donie.bsky.social gets it. Being a former conspiracy theorist, sometimes it’s so hard to explain to ppl the *why*. Why we fell for them. Why we stayed. If you haven’t listened yet, plz do.
