Health tip: For optimal bone health, get lots of vitamins, lift some weights, and keep your skeleton inside your skin at all times.

Mike Johnson hit with new accusation showing ‘clear-cut violation’ of federal law House Speaker Mike Johnson has been accused of using campaign money to pay his rent in what the government watchdog group Campaign Legal Center described as a “clear-cut violation of federal campaign ...

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no.

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't.

We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

See, RFK JR isn't "anti-vaxx" per se.

He's only against vaccines that are grounded in science and proven to work safely and effectively.

He's actually PRO fake, utterly bullshit made-up "vaccines" that you can grift off of.

Ohio woman who had her car repossessed by the dealer takes legal ownership of dealership name in a revenge move for the ages There's a lesson here for business owners.

This dish was served cold: After having her new car repossessed, an Ohio woman discovered the dealership had failed to legally renew the registration of its name. So SHE took possession of the name. Merriment ensued.

Trump Is Building a Maximalist Government
In a series of actions this week, the president sought to expand the government’s reach.

The New York Times uses the word “maximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word “dictatorship.”

There's probably a French word for what I experienced reading his posts today, but this version of Andrew Cuomo is what Trump would've sounded like for the last ten years had people in positions of power shut him out of public life instead of enabling him.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

It’s probably crossed Trump’s mind more than once that if he gives Putin Alaska, Murkowski is Putin’s problem.

The Power of a Positive Pervert
Trump saw the vision board of Fox News and knew exactly what to do with it. That’s because if he has any religion at all, it is a direct precursor of The Secret—the Gospel of “Positive Thinking” as taught by Norman Vincent Peale. And I mean taught by Norman Vincent Peale.

“On Sundays, [the Trumps] drove into Manhattan to worship at Marble Collegiate Church, where Peale was the head pastor,” Gwenda Blair wrote in 2015. “Donald and both his sisters were married there, and funeral services for both Fred and Mary took place in the main sanctuary.”

What did Trump learn from the man who said, “Prayerize, visualize, actualize—that is the formula for successful imaging”?

How about… everything?

Blair explained:

“Believe in yourself!” Peale’s book begins. “Have faith in your abilities!” He then outlines 10 rules to overcome “inadequacy attitudes” and “build up confidence in your powers.” Rule one: “formulate and staple indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding,” “hold this picture tenaciously,” and always refer to it “no matter how badly things seem to be going at the moment.”
Subsequent rules tell the reader to avoid “fear thoughts,” “never think of yourself as failing,” summon up a positive thought whenever “a negative thought concerning your personal powers comes to mind,” “depreciate every so-called obstacle,” and “make a true estimate of your own ability, then raise it 10 per cent.”

I need people to think of Fox News as a fascist vision board.

And Norman Vincent Peale's church was the only church Trump ever regularly attended. He manifested fascism.

And he is absolutely trying to manifest treason charges against Obama & Clinton.
