I would also like to know where things stand with the people eating dogs and cats in Ohio and how things are going with taking the Panama Canal back.
Are we getting the DOGE checks first or the tariff rebate checks? And do we have an ETA on either of those?

We have received 0 assistance from occupied Poland.
Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

ICE and Border Patrol agents are not the victims. For crying out loud…

He is so off-base here. Our Allies weren’t “back from the front lines.” First off: Front lines? It wasn’t the Western Front in WW 1 in Afghanistan. But more importantly, our Allies followed us there and put their troops in dangerous places, where many were killed. This makes my blood boil.
Death toll in Afghanistan when NATO answered the US’s call:
- 453 Britons
- 158 Canadians
- 89 French
- 59 Germans
- 53 Italians
- 44 Danes
- 17 Spaniards
“Stayed a little back, off the front lines “!
No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Trump promised a lot of stuff in the first year of his second term — and an awful lot of it, as usual, went nowhere.

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

It's not exaggerating to say that one of the most important things to do to START fixing US law enforcement is to not allow masks and above all STOP LETTING THEM DRESS LIKE SPECIAL FORCES.
I think the militarization of police and the attitudes toward civilians it breeds are fundamental.
