Trump: And you know, we got rid of the drip drip water, we call it the drip drip, where it drip drips out of the sink, states with tremendous water, so much water they have nothing but problems getting rid. They had restrictions on water. It comes down from heaven, right?

BOMBSHELL: Rep. Raskin says DOJ killed SDNY’s active investigation of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring IN 2025! Instead of pursuing 20+ traffickers, Trump ordered a political hit job disguised as an investigation to block the release of the Epstein files. PSA to SDNY: Don’t do it.

President Trump says he might take his boat strikes to the “land corridor” next. “It’s OK with me,” Trump said. “Whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is, look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend."
Will he follow through, or is this just evidence of cognitive decline? trib.al/GXANQr8

The California National Guard was never yours to control.
Your takeover brought chaos to LA and diverted troops from firefighting, anti-drug trafficking, and public safety missions.
This has never been about "law and order" for Donald Trump. Just a sick power trip.

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.
