She’s either…

….disgracefully uninformed about the president’s policies in her area of responsibility.

Or…

…lying.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Brooke Rollins says farmers need a bailout in October 2025 because "the cost of inputs under Joe Biden went up."
$17 trillion is over half of the US GDP. He is just making up numbers.
I’m pretty sure he means zillion
Trump: “The economy is unbelievable. It really is. It’s been incredible. Over $17 trillion being invested in our country. Prices are down.”
Soybean farmers are screwed. Trump destroyed their biggest export market (China) and it's not coming back.

Many farmers are going to go bankrupt. A bailout would just delay the inevitable.
Tanslation: Tomahawks would do great damage to Russia and force us to the negotiating table.

Trump got played again. Putin got the Tomahawks and any new sanctions put on hold for months.

Remember how we just went through a multi-week newscycle where Democrats and liberals were lambasted for their "violent" political rhetoric, which included Fox hosts claiming that only one political party was demonizing their political opponents as evil? And how libs needs to lower the temperature?
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

Seems like just a few days ago that Trump declared everlasting peace in the region thanks to his brilliance.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

Not much of a story here. People with bad credit have always had to pay higher interest rates. It's not surprising that many of them fall behind in their payments and get their car repoed.

A lot of these people aren't poor either. They just can't control their spending.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

You can say amazing things if you know that the follow-up question will be "wow."

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.
A tweet by Robert Reich reads:
“The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

In the United States. Not another country. Happening right now.
In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

If they were released, probably at .25. People who can get north of .30 are professional alcoholics. They wake up with a .10 - .15 BAC and start again.
