Text in image: Clint Brown ✓ @DissidentClint The story Trump is telling is of the greatness of Americans from the most high (ie Marco Rubio) to ordinary Americans. And he's showing that the highest and the ordinary are exceptional. This speech is a story of the greatness of the American people. Tim Pool ✓ @Timcast Subscribe This State of The Union was Historic Jack Posobiec ✓ @JackPosobiec Subscribe Best State of the Union I've ever seen Clint Brown ✓ @DissidentClint This speech is cathartic. Trump is telling the story of everything we've experienced together as a country and showing us how it's getting better. Showing us how we are winning.

A screenshot showing a scrollable feed of four stacked X (Twitter) posts/reposts, apparently reactions to a Trump speech (likely a State of the Union or joint address to Congress) about illegal immigration. First post: reposted by "Cernovich," from Mark Hemingway (@Heminator, verified) saying Democrats reacted badly to Trump's message and that Omar and Tlaib yelling back was "icing on the cake." Second post: from Megan Basham (@megbasham, verified) with a "Subscribe" button, praising Trump for highlighting crime victims of illegal immigration. Third post: reposted by "Cernovich," from Sean Davis (@seanmdav, verified) with a "Subscribe" button, describing Trump telling Democrats they should be "ASHAMED" for not applauding protection of citizens, with Republicans chanting "U-S-A" and Democrats booing. Fourth post: from Guy Benson (@guypbenson, verified) commenting on a "Purple Heart" being pinned in real time. Each post shows a small circular profile picture, verified checkmark, username/handle, and standard post icons (repost/share icon and three-dot menu) on the right.

Text in image: ↻ Cernovich reposted Mark Hemingway ✓ @Heminator I cannot believe Dems fell hook, line, and sinker for Trump's message. Refusing to stand for the statement that we should support citizens over illegal aliens was a giant gift to GOP candidates in the midterms. Omar and Tlaib angrily yelling back is just the icing on the cake. Megan Basham ✓ @megbasham Subscribe Trump highlighting families who are the victims of illegal alien crime is exactly what he needed to do. That is how you use the presidential megaphone in an politically savvy but also true way. ↻ Cernovich reposted Sean Davis ✓ @seanmdav Subscribe TRUMP: "You should be ASHAMED of yourselves for not standing up" to applaud the protection of American citizens, Trump says to Democrats. Republicans responded by chanting U-S-A! Democrats booed. Guy Benson ✓ @guypbenson Powerful to see a Purple Heart pinned in real time.

There's new evidence that Barack Obama ask intelligence and investigatory heads like John Brennan, the former CIA director, James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, and James Comey, the former FBI director, to find me evidence that you haven't found yet so that we can continue the Russian collusion hoax after it was ineffective in the campaign. You go back, we only have a few weeks left, I'm a lame duck president, and bring me the right assessments. And that's exactly what they did, and that's why they're terrified that new information is coming forth. It suggests to the American people what they did and how they were culpable. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I'd like to talk about the ongoing melodrama of what Barack Obama knew or did not know in his involvement with Russian collusion. The hoax that plagued the Donald Trump 2016 campaign tried to undermine his transition in 2016 and '17 and ate up the first 22 months of his presidency in 2017 and '18 and was found to be completely bogus. There are three blind mice involved in this tale, John Brennan, the former CIA director, James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, and James Comey, the former FBI director. And they all have new manifestations of their untruthfulness. Let's start with John Brennan. He's very angry right now because the trove that was released by Tulsi Gabbard of new documents and investigations may or may not have criminal referrals come out of them, and Pam Bondi may file new charges. The problem that Brennan has is that he went to a meeting and he presented a false picture of CIA assessments. The so-called CIA heads of various divisions found no Russian collusion. They said to John Brennan, "There's nothing there that we can see that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians." He rejected that, cherry-picked four or five other analysts, and then presented a false picture to Barack Obama. Or did he? Or did Barack Obama request that he do that? It'll be he said, he said, but it's more likely that Barack Obama asked John Brennan to come up with the correct CIA assessments, sort of like Mr. Berea, the head of Soviet secret police during the Cold War and at the end of World War II. He said, "I have the criminal. You find me the crime. So I have the criminal, Donald Trump. All I need is Russian collusion." And that was the methodology that they proceeded by. The problem with Brennan, though, is he, in the process of preparing this false assessment, he said again and again, both publicly but also under testimony, he didn't know anything about the Steele dossier. Didn't know anything about it. He didn't read it. It didn't compute into CIA assessments. That was a lie. That was a lie. We know now from other testimonies, especially from the trope, that he did draw on the fake Steele dossier. He referenced it to other people. And the problem with John Brennan is this isn't the first time he's misled us. He lied about the Senate staff computers. That was under oath. He lied, remember, about predator drones when he said there was no collateral damage. And remember, he lied also as one of the 51 intelligence authorities who tried to float that bogus idea that Hunter's laptop was cooked up in Russia. Then we come to James Clapper. He was sitting at this meeting in December of 2016 where he gave a false assessment, and he misrepresented what the 18 intelligence agencies under his direction had found. They had not found Russian collusion. And yet he participated in this. He went so far as later to thanking and giving credit to Barack Obama for demanding that they find Russian collusion. He said if he hadn't have ordered us to do this, we wouldn't have found it. i.e. the subtext says there was no evidence in our intelligence agency for it, so we concocted it on the directive of Barack Obama. But remember, he lied too. He swore under oath to the U.S. Congress that the National Security Agency had never spied on Americans. That was an abject lie, and he was part of the 51 intelligence authorities who also lied to the American people in 2020 on the eve of the second debate when Joe Biden denied that Hunter Biden's laptop was authentic. He quoted the 51 authorities. The FBI, remember, at that time had it in his possession and had already authenticated it as genuine. Then we come to James Comey. He also says that he had really nothing to do with the Steele dossier. The fact is, he was completely acquainted with it. His FBI offered a million dollars. They were so desperate to validate it. They said to Christopher Steele, "Just give us some proof. We can use this. We'll give you a million dollars." He couldn't even come up with the substantive arguments to corroborate his own dossier, so he didn't get the million dollars. More importantly, James Comey has a problem. He leaked on an FBI device a conversation he had memorialized to the New York Times via a third party. James Comey, remember, went before the House Oversight Committee, as I said earlier, and lied 245 times. If you say, "I don't remember, I don't recall, I don't know," can you imagine an FBI director with all that knowledge at his fingertips saying, "I don't remember, I don't know," about the most important investigation in recent history? Let's sum up these three blind mice. There's new evidence that Barack Obama asked intelligence and investigatory heads like John Brennan, like James Clapper and James Comey to find me evidence that you haven't found yet so that we can continue the Russian collusion hoax after it was ineffective in the campaign. Hillary lost the election. Now we want to sabotage. This is the subtext of the transition and his presidency. You go back. We only have a few weeks left. I'm a lame duck president and bring me the right assessments, and that's exactly what they did, and that's why they're terrified that new information is coming forth that suggests to the American people what they did and how they were culpable.
