Maybe joking. Maybe not. Either way, even if he found a lawyer willing to paper this over so it barely threads the needle, what he’s advertising is raw corruption β€” Public support for sale, and candidates who pay him personally get a better shot at power and presumably better treatment if they win.

Trump can’t explain why he attacked Iran President Donald Trump’s attacks against Iran have already led to hundreds of deaths. Despite those deadly consequences, he has been incapable of providing Americans and the world a clear reason ...

It’s always good to have a reason when you kill another country’s leadership and civilians.

One week into the Iran war, the fallout is global The war is no longer just about the U.S., Israel and Iran. More countries are getting caught in the political crossfire or being drawn into the fighting themselves.

It's been almost a MONTH since FBI "Director" Kash Patel has said ONE WORD about Nancy Guthrie.

He found time to drink beer in a locker room with olympians, but can't lead the investigation into a missing woman?

Another Trump failure.

Since former-Secretary Noem likes to quote Orwell: "Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.”

So let’s test that idea, and get some discussion going. We appear to be in a war with Iran. It simply hasn’t been given a name yet. What should it be called?

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
