"I co-wrote Trump's first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-2018. He's not trying to stop "left wing" terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag – meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious."

A report reveals the DOJ—after frantically realizing the files would be released—has been paying FBI agents nearly $1M in overtime to work on the “Epstein Transparency Project."

Let me help the corporate media with some questions for Trump regime: Did the shooter have any contact with the Trump regime? When is the last time CIA spoke to shooter? When is last time CIA paid shooter? And the big one: RELEASE his entire asylum application approved by Trump regime in April!
Nothing to see here: Just a CIA trained killer from an elite unit travels from Washington State to DC to shoot random National Guard troops at a random train station on Thanksgiving Eve. Even MAGA has to know this smells rotten.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.
Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

Trump insisted Comey be prosecuted for supposedly lying to Congress—but his own administration is full of officials who lied to Congress.

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.
