As he should, but the Thief-in-Chief’s supplicants are still trying to keep American from hearing the truth about what he/they did.


Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

Thing is, they refuse to wear uniforms, badges, and other identifiers consistently when they’re on duty so how are we to know the difference, and why should we believe they aren’t criming each and every time we see them?

This is just pure racism. There’s no shred of respectability here. I don’t know why there’s any district left in this country in which a majority, or even a plurality, or even a significant minority abode this bs. Talk about deplorables.

Aside from being an indefensible editorial decision, it was a stoopid biz decision for CBS to delay *their* broadcast of the CECOT story and then lose all those eyeballs to randos for zero ad revenue.

It’s a great idea to familiarize yourself with things this admin doesn’t want you to see. Then you’ll really understand why they don’t want you to see them.
Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

See, if you let the insurance companies just take their profit without providing you care, they don’t pay for care and neither do you. It’s the cheapest insurance, never mind you don’t get care. Problem solved. /s
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.

HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition

LANKFORD: That's true.

We weren’t attacked

None of that justified our treatment of Japanese Americans in WWII and none of it even exists now

This is hate for its own sake, untethered to context, sown and harvested in service of corruption

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.

1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

Insurance won’t have to pay for it, so lots of kids won’t get it, then sick kids will suffer and die and become sick adults, and also kill grandma who was protected by *our* immunity suppressing transmission. It’s like they want you to get sick so they can blame you and sell you stuff.
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

They ain’t whistlin’ Dixie
When Customs and Border Protection and Commander Gregory Bovino move into town, so does Whistlemania.

These activists create and distribute thousands of 3D-printed whistles, and their piercing cries are used to signal that immigration agents are nearby. And it's working.
