Vicious Weapons and a Golden Crown: Some of Trump’s Favorite Things in Asia

A country that just staved off an attempted coup and barely preserved its own democracy thought that the way to win favor with the current U.S. president was to give him a golden crown, defying the 7 million people who took to the streets for the No Kings Protest.

Fox News: Mamdani dances into final campaign stretch, pushing socialist affordability message ahead of NYC vote.

In their zeal Fox has completely ceded "affordability" to socialism, which I guess means MAGA is about doing nothing about high prices while building a ballroom.

He threw a party at maralago last night and has been renovating buildings and bathrooms.

Mace was angry because police weren’t waiting for her when she arrived to escort her to the gate. Police had been told she was in a white car when she was in a gray/silver one. She didn’t stop complaining until she boarded the plane.

It’s just your notifications. You can check just mentions or all.

I don’t have them because I learned when I had private insurance and had Anthem blue Cross that they were shysters. Minute I saw them on the marketplace I said nope, no way.

Handing out good treats!
