You'll be hearing plenty of lies and propaganda about Venezuela shipping a bazillion tons of drugs via tiny fishing boats (which, incidentally, would have to refuel at least six times to reach U.S. waters) and submersibles (!).

Just keep in mind: IT'S THE OIL.

Venezuela's oil exports surpass 1 million bpd for first time since 2020, data shows
Venezuela's oil exports averaged 1.09 million barrels per day (bpd) in September, the highest monthly level since February 2020, according to shipping data and documents from state-run energy company PDVSA.

For those who claim to follow Jesus: Jesus was very clear about feeding those in need.

So for those who say they are Christians, are you a follower of Jesus or aren't you? Because cheering for people to starve has nothing to do with Jesus & everything to do with hate.

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.”

And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

Kim Davis is a radical right wing "busy body" - it is NONE of anyone's business who people love. More love and less hatred is Christian, Ms. Davis. You need to read your Bible and spend more time helping others in need.

“He’s owed a reimbursement.” Speaker Johnson, that’s an illicit characterization of this demand. Reimbursement for what?

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

It’s easy to gloss over the details in his daily madness.

He basically admits he is using tariffs to be petty and vindictive.

Nothing to do with the economy.

Not a care for those it hurts on both sides of the border.

Let’s see who in Congress calls him out.

How long does Mike Johnson have to keep the House of Representatives in recess before we start considering the positions abandoned and seeking constitutional remedies to fill them?

The Constitution doesn't make representation in the House optional at the whim of the majority.
