(WSJ) With Trump, the feelings of loyalty go only one way. So, Elise Stefanik is now feeling Trump's weird decision-making. He initially told her he'd support her run for NY GOV. Then another GOP surfaced, & he said he'd support both. She dropped her candidacy.

And that he was a murderer. Attacks on the high seas, now hard-to-fathom assault on Nigeria(after pulling ambassador). And let's not forget the half-million or so COVID deaths he was responsible for due to his mishandling of the pandemic

(Parker Molloy) You may recall the transporting of so-called lawless immigrants (many had broken NO crimes) to South America and they were put into CECOT, the notorious prison. Bari Weiss ordered the 15-plus-minute segment dropped from 60 minutes. Here it is:

A Canadian affiliate accidentally posted the segment Bari Weiss killed. It's just a normal 60 Minutes report, which is exactly the problem.

(Daily Beast) Trump's advisor, Peter Navarro, has fessed up and confessed that Trump's tariffs have significantly affected manufacturing. He advises not to expect any positive effect for some time. NO KIDDING. A grammar school student would know that.

(Daily Beast) This will not surprise you. The Felon Trump's administration has made a habit of deceptively editing videos and apparently abandoning accuracy altogether in a push to go viral to support their mission and message. The CRIMINALS are spreading.

(Meidas) "When Donald Trump's history is written, conclusions must include: that he was a profligate liar; that he abused the Constitution; that he sought to use the machinery of justice to punish enemies and protect himself; that he was petty, vengeful, and indifferent to democratic guardrails."
December 26, 2025 at 3:29 AM
(Meidas) Love the phrase that Meidas uses to describe Trump: "Pirate-in-Chief". Examine Trump's stance on rewarding Russia for their Ukraine invasion, dumping on EU allies, boarding & stealing oil tankers, rewriting history, deporting citizens, blockades of ships, etc. CONSISTENTLY LAWLESS.

Merry Christmas, DC.

(WSJ) Is he only focused on non-Christians or is he focused on just using his war tools? Either way, Trump is a very sick child—time to leave Trump. If you choose to stay, in 2029 there will be even MORE charges filed against you.

“Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥

Marines from 3rd Intelligence Battalion and Junior ROTC cadets from Kubasaki High School spent the days leading up to Christmas spreading holiday cheer during a Merry Marine Toy Drive for local children on Okinawa.

Sadly, this grown man has no brain, no feelings, no hearing canal, and no ability to think. Hope he recovers. But suggest, SOUND ON, cause the dialog is quite good and impactful.

Worthless Trump.....example after example. This daily exercise does get tiring...him wanting to be on the stage and continually shown honor and glory. Sorry, MOST of us will NOT DO THAT. So, keep trying, child; we wouldn't think of showing you any honor.
"White House 'National Security Strategy' announced that the Trump regime will treat the democratically elected governments of most Western European nations as adversaries of the United States, and unveiled a plan to join longtime adversaries in seeking to undermine NATO and the European Union."

“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”
Latest Epstein files name Trump multiple times
In the more than 10,000 files released Tuesday, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, said the sex trafficker was killed because he was going to name co-conspirators.

Oddly, the Speaker will not feel any remorse, make no apologies, and move on, with no empathy and no change in his horrible behavior. Johnson joins Trump as a worthless and totally inappropriate person in their current (or any) post in government.

Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are urging President Trump to reverse the “unprecedented” decision to recall nearly 30 top career diplomats, leaving more than half of all U.S. ambassador posts vacant.
