Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Affordability is right now the watch word in American electoral politics. In 2024 Voters replaced President Biden with Trump because they were concerned about the rising costs of various consumer items like food and gasoline.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Noem is a liar and her agency is filled with liars. Receipts:

TAPPER: You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist." Why did you not wait for an investigation?

NOEM: Everything I've said has been proven to be factual and the truth. This administration wants to operate in transparency.

T: What you said is not what happened

N: It absolutely is what happened

At this point, the American public is entitled to adverse inference regarding the Epstein files.

In other words, you should assume that they are as bad for Trump as they could conceivably be.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

It doesn’t take a trained ear to hear the deflections. Homan does not deny taking a bag of money. The public deserves answers.
WELKER: Where is that $50,000? Did you keep it?

HOMAN: I didn't take $50k from anybody & that's a question for the FBI. Bottom line I did nothing illegal.

WELKER: But was there $50k in the bag?

HOMAN: I'm not addressing it

WELKER: But did you keep the money?

HOMAN: $50k is ridiculous

Everyone must vote and everyone must vote democratic. No excuses. No exceptions. This is how we take our country back. The Democratic Party isn’t some external entity. We are the Democratic Party

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Studies prove Billionaires over time become more secluded and develop narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Or the Dark Triad. No remorse, manipulative, and entitled and inflated sense of self importance. We’re supposed to revere that? Tax them.

Just a reminder that only a month ago, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, a man who helped smuggle more than 400 tons of cocaine into the USA.

Also a reminder... RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Trump's major foreign policy failures 2025:
-Destroying US soft power tools
-Irrational tariffs on allies
-Ending aid to Ukraine
-Playing chicken w/ Xi & backing down
-Selling best chips to China
-Tiptoeing into war w/ Venezuela
-Alienating allies (Canada, Greenland)
-Supporting Putin
I could go on
The Trump administrations biggest foreign policy achievements in 2025: ending the war in Gaza, sanctioning Rosneft and Lukhoil, and pledging an $11 billion arms sales to Taiwan.
(Future posts coming of their failures)

I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.

No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.

I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.
