Amazing, almost 70% of "America First" Republicans support the United States involvement in another foreign war. What is this? Mass amnesia? How many times did you hear Trump supporters cheer when he promised "no new wars"?

That was bizarre mental gymnastics even for Trump.

Trump’s War on Iran Is Illegal Neither a future threat nor regime change can be legal justification for war without congressional authorization.

Trump’s War on Iran Is Illegal
"The 'other presidents did it' argument is no justification to depart from constitutional limits. Indeed, this argument is one of the reasons abuses of presidential power have now reached crisis proportions."

Leonnig: "The whistleblower says in Dec. 2025, when there was a mass shooting at Brown U, Kash was on his FBI director jet in FL & there was only one other available jet, but Patel ordered it to be put on standby for another team. That meant an evidence review team had to drive through the night..."

It’s not just words/ memes from this sick tyrant. It’s his horrible racist actions brutalizing communities across our country. Trump has the Black and Hispanic community in his cross-hairs. This must stop. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to be the fighter for all Floridians.

The Power of The People You Have It, Now Use It

When our government acts contrary to the will of the people, when our government fails to protect voting rights, and hinder public participation in governance by martial force, legitimacy ends and tyranny begins.

To quote C. S. Lewis, “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.”

Sympathetic plaintiff, video evidence, multiple witnesses, clinicians' evaluation. This one will cost taxpayers at least $20million. And that is not enough to every pay her for her suffering and abuse from ICE!

What do you think about a man with a reported net worth of $7.3 billion trying to convince you that what you see with your own eyes, and what you feel with your own wallet isn’t real?

Brian Cole, accused of planting pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC on January 6th has reportedly told investigators that he planted the bombs because he thought the 2020 election was stolen. You can’t get more MAGA than that! Not an “inside” job, not ANTIFA, just another fool who believed a lie.

Pete Hegseth either ordered the murder of the two boat attack survivors or he has lost control of his operational commanders if they made the decision. Either way, he needs to fired.
