Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

This is it folks. We are cooked if we allow blatantly illegal conduct live on tv in front of us with no consequences. This is the shot in Times Square. The world is watching.
This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

President Trump is considering declaring a national “economic emergency” to justify implementing a series of universal tariffs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency.

Here is a reminder:
Countries with universal healthcare (e.g., Canada, the UK, Germany) spend less per capita on healthcare than the U.S. does, despite covering everyone.
The U.S. government spends more per capita on public healthcare than many countries that provide universal coverage.

The US spends 2x more per capita on health care than any other nation. Yet 85 million are uninsured or underinsured, 68,000 die because they can’t afford a doctor & we pay the highest prices in the world for Rx drugs.
Health care is a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

My take on this is they're only shocked because they planned for the tariffs to come after the tax cut on businesses and the ultra wealthy.
