Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund.

Billionaire Jared Isaacman has been confirmed by the Senate as the new head of NASA.

His plans for the space agency include a bigger emphasis on commercialization.

And he's also an associate of Elon Musk, having flown twice on SpaceX launches.

This is insane.

After his 8647 post, Comey and his wife were followed by unmarked law enforcement from North Carolina back to their home.

Agents were waiting at his house, and they tracked his phone the whole way.

That’s a high level surveillance operation for someone who clearly isn’t a threat.

Currently, there is a fine up to 998 dollars per day for being in the country illegally. The detention facilities being used and built are not to deport people. They are going to levy large fines that detainees will have to work off before eligibility to leave. It is slavery.

Cutting disease control, cutting FEMA responses, cutting Healthcare, starving children and the elderly. Genocide without weapons of war. What better way to rid the population of the most vulnerable of us.
