Trump’s Marijuana Order Pushes a Dangerous Lie

Alex Berenson, FOX News

Senator Tom Cotton sees absolutely nothing wrong with Trump acting as judge, jury, and executioner of noncombatant alleged criminals in drug boats

In an interview with Brian Kilmeade, who said on air that we should just kill the homeless. 

They don't believe in the rule of law.

They are a law unto themselves, no different than Democrats have been.

Our country is lost.

 

 

It's very amusing that Kevin Sorbo thinks MAGA voters will refuse to vote Republican in the midterms because Trump said we don't have enough talent in this country

Why people vote is emotional to these people, not rational.

"I'm insulted Trump thinks Americans have no talent so I'm voting for the other guy".

OK whatever. 

Trump meanwhile pretended in the interview with Laura Ingraham that he had nothing to do with the round-up and deportation of hundreds of Koreans from the Georgia battery plant, which was basically Obama's MO throughout his presidency when a problem occurred in the country under his watch.

"You didn't build that over there, and I didn't do that other thing over here." 

Trump administration in damage-control mode after Hyundai immigration raid sparks investment concerns

... The Georgia facility, operated by Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, saw 475 of its workers arrested on allegations that they were in the U.S. illegally, or without the proper work permits, with hundreds of detained South Koreans sent home Thursday.

The raid was part of a broader deportation drive by the Trump administration, which the White House has described as central to fulfilling U.S. President Donald Trump’s election campaign promises. Stephen Miller, the White House’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, has pushed for 3,000 arrests a day. ...

 

 

So-called fiscal hawk Republican Jodey Arrington (TX-19) won't run in 2026, says Trump is committed to reversing the curse of public debt but doesn't know where the president is lol

 

Let me tell you where you are, Jodey. 

Four months after you passed the Big Ugly Bill under reconciliation rules, rules which Mike Crapo in the Senate turned on their head, you are a whisker away from another $2 trillion in debt added to the public debt since July 4th.

Jodey's just puttin' lipstick on the pig and saying, See ya! 

 

... Arrington said he had faith Republicans in Washington would pick up his mantle of fiscal hawkishness, or as he's often called it, "reversing the curse" of public debt.

"The president's committed to it, he talks about it all the time. He's actually doing something about it with very difficult decisions, not politically popular decisions. This is all about political will," Arrington said. "Trump's doing it. Mike Johnson is committed to it… And we have a growing number of fiscal hawks who are absolutely dogged on this issue."

But he said he would continue to push for further fiscal reforms for his remaining year on Capitol Hill, including another budget reconciliation bill to follow up on the big, beautiful bill.

"I don't know where the Senate Republicans are. I don't know where the president is and can't speak for the White House. But the House is at the ready," Arrington said. "It's been our most consequential tool to support the president and the strength of the country, and I don't see any reason we wouldn't utilize it to its fullest extent."

FBI Offers $50,000 Reward for Info on Two Assaults on Federal Agents

They're painting the left as terrorists for a reason, but they don't have the courage to name them . . . yet

Designated terror organizations can be legally attacked using the US military. They'll do the designating, and then they'll do the attacking.

That's why they are doing this.

That's why they are fascists. 

Stop Left-Wing Terror Networks and Their Funding

Mollie Hemingway, FOX News

The solution to the homeless problem to Brian Kilmeade of Fox News is to "just kill them"

 And we wonder why there is so much violence in our country.

Listen for yourself.

Generally speaking, as long as such outrageous statements do not target a specific individual they pass the smell test for freedom of speech.

You may not be able to shut them up, but you don't have to pay them, or vote for them.

 

 

A victory for lunch your way lol

 

Prosecutors fail to get indictment against DC ‘Subway’ sandwich thrower who DOJ fired

 

... The result in Dunn’s case is the second time in three days that a grand jury has rejected an indictment request by the office of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host appointed by Trump. 

On Monday, Pirro’s office told a judge in a separate criminal case that “an Indictment has not been returned” after “a third grand jury returned a no true bill.” ...

Pattern development.

Words have a meaning, and Real Clear Politics wants you to think Donald Trump intimidated Senator Thom Tillis to disappear

NC GOP Senator Tillis Announces Resignation After Clash With Trump

Fox News is almost as bad:

 Thom Tillis announces retirement from Senate after clash with Trump 

The truth: ... The North Carolina Republican announced on Sunday that he would not seek reelection in the 2026 cycle. ...

Thom is still there, hopefully to vote Nay again today on Trump's big, ugly charade of a reconciliation bill, and will be there for eighteen more months, and there's not a damn thing Trump can do about it.

He will be a potent second potential Nay vote in the US Senate on everything with Rand Paul. 

 

So, a White House official supposedly told FOX News that use of tactical nuclear weapons against Iranian nuke facilities is not off the table

 The idiot who did this map didn't know that B-2 Spirit Bombers are based at Whiteman Airforce Base in Missouri.

Also, the idiot from the White House should be an ex-official. 

There is no negotiating with someone who says 0% is not good enough

 

Bessent: Up To 70 Nations Want To Negotiate Over Trump's Tariffs

Republicans under Trump lay the groundwork for the police state which Democrats could only wish for: AG Pam Bondi threatens US House Representative Crockett (TX-30) with terrorism charge

 

 In the future, everything wrong will be deemed "domestic terror" and suffer the draconian punishments for domestic terror.

 

Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has nothing better to do than appear everyday on Fox News, has the temerity to threaten a Congresswoman. Wait until it's your free speech which is threatened.

 

On second thought, don't wait. It already is.

 

Pam Bondi warns Jasmine Crockett to ‘tread very carefully’ in what she says about Elon Musk

... “She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we’re going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Bondi said during an appearance on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” ...     

If AG Merrick Garland had done this to a Republican, you would have never heard the end of it from the likes of Mark Levin and his ilk.

But hey, when Republicans do it it's OK!

 

Numbskull Jesse Watters' masculinity prohibits eating soup in public, crossing your legs, drinking with a straw, milkshakes, waving with both hands, self-awareness, intelligence informed by history . . .

... “I have rules for men,” Watters began on Wednesday’s [Fox News] The Five. “They’re just funny, they’re not that serious. Like, you don't eat soup in public. You don't cross your legs. And you don't drink from a straw. And one of the reasons you don’t drink from a straw is the way your lips purse. It’s very effeminate.”

Referring to Walz, he said: “His excuse was, ‘well I was drinking a milkshake.’ Again, you shouldn’t be drinking a milkshake. Milkshakes are for kids.” 

Watters also claimed that real men “don’t wave simultaneously with two hands.”

“We wave with one hand, not both hands at the same time,” he said. ...

Trump will crow that Panama has bowed the knee by agreeing not to renew participation in China's Belt and Road Initiative, but Panama was already dissatisfied with China from 2019

 

Events quickly shifted, however, following the election of Laurentino Cortizo as Panama’s president in early 2019. After taking office, Cortizo suspended or cancelled multiple Chinese investment projects. A review by the Panama Maritime Authority (PMA), the government agency that oversees the country’s ports, of the PCCP concession found that the Landbridge-led consortium had failed to comply with numerous contractual terms, including investing only roughly one-fifth of the promised amount, failing to provide key project documentation, and employing much less local labor than promised. The review led to the PMA’s decision to revoke the PCCP concession in June 2021.

Fox News dipshit says Trump gave a masterclass lol

 DAVID MARCUS: De facto President Trump's handling of shutdown threat was a masterclass

The piece of legislation which the boss said at 4:00 PM on the 19th was very important and even vital to making America great again was defeated 235-174 not three hours later at 6:54 PM lol.

 

Maybe the dumbest line though was this:

 

. . . having slayed the dragon of out-of-control spending . . ..

David is too dumb to understand that a continuing spending resolution simply continues the spending which already put fiscal 2024 $1.9 trillion in the hole.

The extra $100 billion for the tent people of Western North Carolina is just the insult added to the injury.

I seem to recall that throughout the aftermath of the hurricanes there was vigorous protestation from the right about FEMA still having plenty of money and they didn't need any more. But here we are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like Chuck Grassley's efforts paid off: FBI director Wray to resign

Thank you, Chuck.

Kash Patel incoming?

Before you get your hopes up about Kash Patel's capacity to do a good job, remember Wray was also a Trump appointee to replace the fired James Comey, and he turned out arguably worse than Comey.

Robert Mueller III was appointed by George W. Bush and assumed office exactly one week before 9/11/01. Neither of them kept us safe. And then they pursued the wrong guy in the anthrax attacks.

We have more than two decades of ugly feeling about the FBI to overcome.
