No it won’t. It doesn’t have that kind of money. Are they playing with the gullible Trump or did he just make this up?

The new MTG
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene = @RepMTG • 5h I don't like 50 year mortgages as the solution to the housing affordability crisis. ... It will ultimately reward the banks, mortgage lenders. and home builders while people pay far more in interest over time and die before they ever pay off their home. In debt forever, in debt for life! Instead stop companies and asset managers from buying up single family homes, which has driven the price of homes and forced homebuyers to compete with corporations that turn thousands of homes into permanent rental homes. Let people with a good rent history qualify for mortgages.

Wtf is he talking about?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster! 6.39k ReTruths 20.2k Likes 11/8/25, 9:04 AM

What a revolting obsession with the oppression of the Afrikaners.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump • 4h It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa. Afrikaners (People who are descended from Dutch settlers, and also French and German immigrants) are being killed and slaughtered, and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated. No U.S. Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue. I look forward to hosting the 2026 G20 in Miami, Florida! 917 L 3.58k ) 13.2k

To quote JFK, this is like L'Osservatore Romano criticizing the Pope.
NEW YORK POST NOVEMBER 6, 2025 Trump touts affordability while inflation rages across America on everything from food to furniture to cars After nearly a year under Trump's tariffs, Americans are paying more for everything from a cup of joe and plush living room sofas to children's toys.

Seymour Hersh
I knew early on after 9/11 that a senior operative, a bright veteran agent who knew the Middle East well—it was understood that this was information for my guidance on White House workings, but not to publish at the time—that the feared Taliban, then headed by Mullah Omar, had passed the word to the White House via the CIA that they did not consider Osama bin Laden, the head of Al Qaeda, to be an untouchable guest after 9/11. America thus was free to seek revenge on him and forgo a planned operation against the Taliban as well as bin Laden, who would soon be impossible to locate. Bush and Chenery ignored the offer, and the war was on. Bin Laden would not be found and assassinated until nearly a decade later, when a Navy Seal Team was authorized to kill him on sight by President Barack Obama, whose use of targeted assassinations of suspected terrorists abroad has never been fully explored by the media.

From rev.com's AI review of today's radio show
Interview Dynamics Interview Flow The interview proceeded in two distinct, self-contained segments. The first, with Speaker 2, began with the causes of Silicon Valley's rightward shift and logically progressed to its ideological characteristics, its relationship with political power (Trump), and its alignment with the military-industrial complex. 100:17. The second segment, with Speaker 3, followed a geographical flow, analyzing Trump's influence and policies in Argentina, the Caribbean, Venezuela, Brazil, and Bolivia. In both segments, the interviewer guided the conversation from broad questions to more specific examples. The tone of the interviewees was consistently analytical and critical, providing detailed, evidence-based commentary. Question Analysis The interviewer's questions were effective and well-informed, serving as excellent prompts for detailed exposition. Broad opening questions like "What happened that pushed so many of this cohort to the right?" (00:00) allowed the experts to frame the issue, while more pointed follow-ups about specific individuals (David Sachs, Joe Lonsdale) or concepts (the end of zero-interest rates) elicited deeper analysis. [02:281 The questions successfully created a structure that allowed the interviewees to present a comprehensive and coherent argument on their respective topics. The responses were rich with specific names, events, and direct quotes, indicating the interviewees' deep subject matter expertise.
