Love it! But I think our current troubled times call for a different sort of Montgomery Brawl. All hands on deck!

Punching someone in the face for passive resistance is criminal police brutality, whether the state’s attorney or the police department chooses to cover that up or not. Call it what it is.

Kash Patel just put out his sequel to "The Plot Against the King." Will Kash the Discoverer make the Pedo Files disappear? Or will Pam the Witch save Donald the King by sweeping them under one of the White Castle rugs? Or will Stephen the Jester create a grand distraction? Buy it today to find out!

Which is more outrageous? The fact that CBS was willing to hand over $15 million to Trump in response to his extortion scheme? Or the fact that Trump is not satisfied with that craven abdication of journalistic ethics?

I'm just wondering what the heck Trump is going to say to the Graduates. Will he brag about bringing elite universities to heel? Will he talk about how much he loves the uneducated and his good genes? Oh, I think I know...

Trump dinner for meme coin buyers prompts senators to demand ethics probe Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren are calling for an ethics investigation into President Trump's promotion of his meme coin.

When Republicans hoped that Trump would run the government like a business, I doubt they were expecting that he was going to run it like his OWN private business. Do they think presential profiteering makes him smart? #MemeCoin #TrumpIsaNationalDisgrace www.cnbc.com/2025/04/25/t...

Trump brags about his shakedown of major law firms: "We have a lot of law firms that have paid me a lot of money... they paid $100m on average... hopefully I won't need that many legal fees. I may. Who knows? After it ends. After I leave maybe I'll need it, but if I do it won't be very pleasant."

You haven't been paying attention? He doesn't personally have the authority to do mass layoffs and to close or gut agencies. That's why Trump even fraudulently said that Musk is not actually running DOGE. And that's why courts have reversed his actions. Please try to keep up.

Grand jury recommends Alabama police department be 'immediately abolished' An Alabama grand jury has recommended that the Hanceville Police Department be "immediately abolished," prosecutors said Wednesday.

Hard to focus on local corruption when federal corruption is so salient. But we can expect rogue local PDS to act with impunity more than ever under Trump. abcnews.go.com/US/hancevill...
