Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Sounds a little strange, but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding.”

Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Trump in the nose for saying the country that invaded Ukraine was being "very generous."

This is incredibly cool β€” A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real.

They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

ICE Uses Disguises and Fake Plates for Immigration Enforcement in Minnesota A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to inquiries about whether the men were federal immigration officers. As the sweeping imm...

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state.

That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

Elon Musk spent $280 million to elect Trump, and then Trump gave him the keys to the federal government and he went about destroying the lives and careers of patriotic public servants while giving himself massive contracts.

It was the most corrupt bargain in American history.

From 2001 to 2022, there were 1,375 school shootings at elementary and secondary schools, resulting in 515 total deaths and 1,161 injuries.

and they STILL refuse to CONSIDER gun control, or even registration... They have NO INTEREST in protecting kids.

Only protecting the gun lobbyists $$$$$

(Not true. Kid Rock has never won a Grammy).
