Is this a crack pipe?
It's being described as a "wood tobacco pipe stand". It doesn't seem to be that at all. In my RFY.

"Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats"...
Here in California, the left has long ignored high gas prices due to Biden's ineptitude, and long ignored high gas taxes and fees implemented by the democrats. No, it's somehow Trump's fault, even though gas prices have dropped tremendously under Trump, with the exception of the more recent temporary spike in oil prices due to the military operations in Iran.
Now, Chevron is pushing back, in an effort to inform motorists. Who's really at fault? The left would have you believe it's Trump and the "greedy" oil companies. Or, is it actually the democrats?

Here in SoCal, the owner of the "Trump House" has been attacked, and is now in critical condition. You've got to love the "peaceful left".
This is in Escondido, CA, which is just north of the city of San Diego. This fellow's home is known by friends and foes as the Trump House. I'd be the first one to admit that it's over-the-top, and in my view, an eyesore, although many of us probably support some of the same themes that this guy does.
The owner has been attacked, I'm guessing by a member of the "peaceful left". He has been taken to a medical trauma center, where he is in critical condition and is fighting for his life. An arrest has been made in the attack.

Earlier, I did my OG Viner since 2008 post, but one important point that I wanted to make…
I’ve said this before, but it is definitely worth repeating. Once you are in the Vine program do not ever review anything that is not a Vine related product.
I don’t care if you buy something and you love it, I also don’t care if you buy something and you hate it. Just don’t go there, only do Vine reviews.
Now, why is this?
As I’ve mentioned recently, and in the past, there is an algorithm that looks for bias, and they will look through all of your reviews. It is possible that you get hit with this bias determination/banning, even if you don’t do non-Vine related reviews.
But if you do them, you are absolutely asking for trouble. There is no upside whatsoever to writing a review that is not related to the Vine program, but there is plenty of potential downside.
If you think that your account can only get banned for things that you write in Vine, you are absolutely wrong. It can still happen, but you are doubling your chances of getting a biased reviewer ban when you review products outside of the Vine program.
If you think about it, there is absolutely no downside to following my suggestions. There is definitely upside, because you have much less of a chance of things going wrong with respect to that potential biased determination, and I do note that we are seeing more Viners banned for this recently.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why war with China is not inevitable, aka there is no "Thucydides Trap"...
I thought this was an interesting analysis. VDH looks at Chinese president Xi's remarks regarding the "Thucydides Trap", and why it's not likely to occur, or even applicable.

Celebrities endorsing Trump. This was shared by Cherie Currie, former lead singer for "The Runaways". She said...
"They forgot one person, me!"
I have some connections in the music industry, and the guitarist for a well-known punk band told me that there are many more conservatives and republicans in the music industry than you'd think, but most don't want to publicly admit it, because they might not get gigs. Same deal for some actors/actresses, I'm sure, although most are undeniably "liberal".

OG Viner since 2008. I try to be helpful. I try to offer advice to some when banned...
I even create suggested chat points or scripts to try and help folks get their Vine status back. And mostly I get downvoted.
That's ok, it's all good. Done trying to help though, although I may post interesting offers when they show up (i.e. seldom).
Carry on.

Palm Beach Intl. Airport becomes Donald J. Trump Intl. Airport July 9, 2026.
Airport code will change from PBI to DJT which is sure to cause plenty of TDS.

Prior to boarding Air Force One, Trump delegation had to dispose of *everything* given to them by their Chinese hosts...
Hopefully our Chinese friends weren't offended. It's all about national security.
NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site.
The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

Reportedly, "prosecutor" Jack Smith set preservation orders in place & a road map to prosecute Trump after he leaves office.
Just what the country needs, more political prosecutions.
In the final weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency, FBI agents tied to Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation memorialized anew their belief that President Donald Trump broke the law in contesting the 2020 election and secretly arranged to preserve their evidence until 2030 in memos that raise alarm they could revive their prosecution after Trump leaves office.
The FBI memos and emails closing out the controversial Arctic Frost investigation – obtained by Just the News – show the bureau chose not to relinquish the evidence it gathered after Smith went to court to dismiss charges against Trump, even though that is the normal practice for agents. Instead, they created a preservation order keeping the evidence in FBI custody for two years after Trump's second term ends, claiming it was necessary to do so because of ongoing litigation, the memos show.

Netanyahu wants to wean Israel off US military support, he tells CBS...
Can Israel really give up almost $7,000,000,000 in U.S. aid? If they can, more power to them. But somehow I doubt it.
I sense that they wanted to "finish the job" in Iran, and Trump told them to hold off, which probably annoyed them. I suspect that's the basis for his remarks.

I get the feeling that Trump & Chinese president Xi genuinely like & respect each other.
I think it's good to see the leaders of the world's superpowers getting along with each other, and I'm glad that Trump made this visit to meet with president Xi face-to-face.
As a side note, I've only been to China once, but I was well-treated and it was an interesting experience, one that I'd recommend to others.

Actor Billy Bob Thornton says that celebrity status is no reason to push political beliefs on others.
In my view, whether you vote red or blue, cash is always green. Many of us have clients and customers with different political ideologies. You don't want to let your political views offend customers and interfere with your business.
Certainly, Hollywood has plenty of problems to begin with (lack of quality entertainment offerings, woke scripts, poor acting, lack of imagination & creativity, high movie/concert prices) without alienating half of their potential customers.
Obviously, they are entitled to their views, but those views are often presented in an aggressive "in your face" manner that is sure to offend and irritate many.

Anyone need to provide a tax return & SSA-89 form to get a credit card?
Applied with Bank of America for a new credit card. I have an 830 credit score and no outstanding debt. I also have had cards with them in the past, but not in a couple of years. Never had any form of credit troubles.
They kept it in pending status for over 2 weeks. Recently, I received a letter that I'd need to sign a SSA-89 form and mail them my tax return and/or paycheck stubs.
I asked them why they're making me jump through these hoops. They didn't say, only that my providing this information is "non-negotiable".
Pretty sure I don't need the card that badly to provide them with what I consider to be intrusive personal info, given my credit scores and positive prior history with them.
Anyone been through this? Would you provide any of this? I wonder what triggers this kind of intrusive review?

Harvard Constitutional Law Professor Emeritus, & lifelong democrat, Alan Dershowitz, is now a registered republican.
This is not a shock, given the way that Professor Dershowitz has been treated by the left.
I've generally found Professor Dershowitz to be very fair and unbiased except when it comes to topics related to Israel, where the bias is obvious, to me at least. He is, arguably, the leading expert on the subject of Constitutional Law.
We welcome him to the republican party.

Surprisingly, CNN challenges CA governor Greasy Gavin Newscum about the state being totally unaffordable.
Of course, his response is that he has no answers. Instead, he tries to deflect to the size of California's economy. But of course, that wasn't the question.

We've discussed this, but Marco Rubio is sharp, unflappable, articulate, quick-witted, knowledgable and funny. Sure, Trump also shares many of those qualities, but I feel as if Rubio is effective in a way that even some with TDS might be more receptive to his message.
