Longtime small town Alaskan whose happy place is NYC interested in books, culture, music, politics and travel. I like to learn something new everyday.
Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?
The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state.
Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

ICE just took a woman from military housing.
While her husband is on active duty, at sea.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West.
ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

A 67% drop in ocean freight booking to US . US ports will start feel impact from end of April. Full effect on consumers by 4th of July. Btw several importers are mom and pop shops and they have been hit by custom deficiency bonds requests. Which in turn will spike up insurance premiums.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Real consequences to Trump.
Dr. Marc Ruel, one of the world's top heart surgeons, was set to move from Ottawa to San Francisco this year.
He backed out because of the political situation here and the mistreatment of Canada by Trump through tariffs and annexation

White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.

The derogatory term “rubio” now has three meanings in American slang:
1) A spineless lump of nothing
2) The piece of shit you scrape off the bottom of your shoe
3) A person with no scruples or sense of morality
Example: “Don’t be such a fucking rubio — just think of what your mother would say.”

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.
