It’s not just that they’re so evil, it’s that they’re evil and dumb and proud of it.

Will the new "Department of Government Efficiency" fix this?

Naw they will probably help the insurance companies grift more.
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren urged the Biden administration to advance a proposed rule before Donald Trump takes office to crack down on insurance companies that she says are overcharging Medicare by more than $80 billion

Trump will immediately try to take credit for the Biden economy the same way he tried to take credit for the Obama economy in 2026.
GDP has risen 12.6 percent over Biden’s tenure, far outpacing both predictions made even before Covid became a household name and growth in other advanced countries.
Bidenomics Was Wildly Successful
The president’s domestic record wasn’t just extraordinary. It might put Democrats back in power in four years.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Honestly I don't think Trump is trying to send a message.

He certainly doesn't care about human rights.

This is more about Trump showing he is powerful.
For Uyghur Americans, the incoming Trump administration's invitation for Xi Jinping to attend the inauguration feels like a betrayal – a signal that the U.S. may deprioritize human rights advocacy in favor of smoothing over relations with Beijing.

Xi is testing the waters for when Trump comes to office and he can be more aggressive.

Remember, Communist China has no legitimate claim to Taiwan.

Not only have they never actually controlled Taiwan, the Taiwanese people don't want their control.
Taiwan said on Tuesday that China was conducting its largest maritime operations in nearly three decades, sending nearly 90 naval and coast guard vessels into waters stretching from the southern Japanese islands to the South China Sea.

Taiwan is on high alert in response to China’s unannounced deployment of naval and Coast Guard ships, as tensions rise over U.S. support for the island.

WATCH: Hegseth now says his comments about not allowing women in combat have been “misconstrued” and “some of our best warriors are women”

But we tacked on what he said so you can see for yourself 👇🏽

I like the "honorary," like they're holding out on the actual award
Remember 6 weeks ago when Trump was bashing Fox News on social media because they occasionally booked Democrats and played Harris ads? Water under the bridge now!
