Congress: Unserious Orwellian-ism

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh argue Trump’s recent address was mostly political theater: fearmongering about China and election “theft” without evidence of vote fraud or any prosecutions, while noting real but non-voting issues like dead names on Michigan rolls. They discuss the House passing the NDAA’s Section 219, saying it legally deepens broad U.S.–Israel tech and R&D cooperation, and criticize Ben Shapiro’s framing while cautioning against overstating “military merging.” They review a House-passed congressional stock-trading ban as easily loophole-able and say Republicans added voter ID to bait Democrats into voting no for future ads. They also mock media war narratives about Iran, raise doubts from the Tyler Robinson/Charlie Kirk preliminary hearing, and briefly cover Michigan primary candidates and a New York candidate’s viral Ben & Jerry’s comment.
