Trump Made Chair of Kennedy Center as Its President Is Fired The president solidified his grip on the performing arts complex as the center’s longtime president, Deborah F. Rutter, was fired.

Trump's deportation campaign has begun Podcast Episode · Post Reports · 01/27/2025 · 26m

1200 deportations per day?! there’s no way all these folks are, as they say,“criminals”…there’s data to suggest otherwise… and the FACT remains that the majority of these folks are the backbone of our economic infrastructure…this can’t end well. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

This was posted by Mark Zuckerberg on January 7, but I’m just seeing it today on January 10. This is all about Facebook’s new policies. I’m not sure yet what I make of this- thoughts?

There will be retribution


“For the media, this means centering its reporting on the possible political motives of investigations, not the alleged details. It also means rejecting tips or leads unless the person providing the information is fully on the record from start to finish…”

Here’s a list of the names of the Jan. 6 Offenders, what they were charged with, and their sentencing. They are now pardoned, commuted and released from jail. I know I am preaching to the choir here, but I am in shock, though not surprised.

What I am having trouble understanding is why President Biden does not pick up the phone and request that the National Archivist publish the ERA/28th amendment?! We now have enough states who have ratified. Isn’t the SCOTUS ruling on women’s reproductive rights the final straw?!
