I'm still waiting for Trump to reveal his "concept of a plan" that he touted in his debate with Harris. Maybe eating our pets is a major part of it.

Interesting stretch of numbers. The entire population of England is 58.6 million. She is about as bright as a small-appliance light bulb and he's no smarter.

Apparently this president has never understood farming and its capital intensive basis. A crop must be sold or there's no point in planting another one. Not a single farm product operates on promises of government subsidies which may at any time be removed.

Seems like with all those trillions of dollars coming in from tariffs, there should not only be no government shutdown, but also, we should be free from paying federal income tax for the next couple of years, at least!

There's enough brass out there to run ANY war ANY time without help from Lt. Bonespur or a failed Fox lackey.

So will our military continue to. attract the best and brightest? After the "speeches" this morning to America's top ranking leaders, I must question the direction being taken by the "Secretary of War" and the Commander in Chief. If they want an army of Proud Boys, few of them can pass the physical.

Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland and authorises 'full force' The president says the latest move to send troops to a major US city is "necessary" to protect immigration detention facilities.

And now he wants to place troops in "war ravaged" Portland. This is because he saw a documentary on TV. www.bbc.com/news/article...

How much taxpayer money will the administration spend in prosecuting people POTUS hates? Stay tuned! The GAO is keeping up with the expenditures as well as the amount DOGE cost us in early 2025.

And have been since 45's first term. BTW, do you find it peculiar in some states GOP voters marked only the presidential rand not down ballot races? Very odd. Look at North Carolina example: Governor and all but two of the "council of state" offices were Dems. But 45 won POTUS.

If a president begins a major speech to the United Nations with a string of at least six major lies, how can the audience including some of the world's top diplomats, believe a single line of the remainder of the oratory.

I cannot imagine "the orange" doing this unless there was something in it for him. I appreciate your presidency so much!

I thought the 1/6 insurrection was the work of ANTIFA and when 45/47 had the chance, he pardoned them. The man and his minions need to make up their collective minds.

As the late Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan, wrote in "Understanding Media," that "The medium is the message." Example? electronic visual media as opposed to newspapers, magazines, billboards, film, and radio. The medium used to present information results in various reactions to events.

I had planned to become a pod caster until I realized that some of the most vile people on the planet are engaged in the activity. Heard one today being questioned by the U.S. Senate. What an incompetent jackass was appointed to head the FBI which before this administration, had my utmost respect.

Asking for a friend: With a gallows constructed on the Capital lawn on January 6, 2021, why doesn't the chant, "Hang Mike Pence" qualify as hate speech? Well, Attorney General Bondi? I'm waiting along with millions of my friends.

So, Grump calls the Net man and says, "We gotta get the Epstein thing out of the news. Why don't you attack Doha which is sure to anger the Saudis. That ought to fill the space between the Car Shield commercials." Uh-oh. It didn't work.

One of the most disgusting political acts of cowardice was perpetrated and successfully carried out by ABC Sports and the USTA this afternoon when Grump attended the U.S. Open. www.nytimes.com/athletic/660...

Was the deadly US attack on the Venezuelan vessel legal? The U.S. military killed 11 people aboard a vessel in the Caribbean on Tuesday.

I'm sure one day the Pentagon will read the manual on Maritime Law and acts of aggression in international waters and under what circumstances firepower is warranted. www.rmg.co.uk/stories/ocea...

Amazing how the most strident anti-vaxxers flock to get tattoos full of ink that isn't regulated by anyone, much less the FDA. And don't get me started on Botox injections. Read the label. Botox toxins are among the most potent toxins ever recorded in scientific literature.

The natural born jackass will do anything to distract. How much do you think that flyover cost the taxpayer? Research shows that depending on where the jets are headquartered, it could be quite high even if included in the "training budget!"

Look familiar? I visited St. Petersburg, Russia. The palaces of Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, and others reveal the "gilded gaudiness" of extravagance. It appears President Grump wants the same. How do you think he's paying for his lack of taste? Russians charge admission to see their crap.

If you believe eleven high profile drug dealers were in a boat together ANYWHERE in the Caribbean, then I've got some more of that Tennessee Beach property for you. Where's the evidence? Where are the bodies? Where's the dope? And do drug dealers really travel that way these days?

For the life of me, I have yet to see how ANYONE, Republican OR Independent, could possibly vote for Sears. I've heard her try to speak. Virginia is already embarrassed enough by her and that silly governor of theirs. Surely, enough is enough.
