the fraud of Trump University in Florida. That $25K came from ONE Donald J. Trump... and the Islamophobes at Fox News & their fanbase have NO problem with this!

It seems like only Fox News is losing its mind over NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in their report of him receiving $13K from up to 170 foreign donors. That comes to an average of $75.
In a galaxy (Florida) & time (2010's) a certain AG (Bondi) accepted $25K in campaign contributions to ignore

Is it any wonder? Right-To-Work states with no State Income Taxes. Add no regulations on rental costs, utilities & insurance which provide a much needed form of consumer protection!

There was a word to describe adults acting childishly. The word is similar to a grade level in high school or college. The word is sophomoric.
My guess is that because Trump barely made it through college, his sophomoric is more like a second year HS student-basically, a 16 year old.

And here, I see a bright side. Top military brass, can now easily conduct that long awaited military coup without concern of journalists being on the inside and having to โ€œexplainโ€ what is happening.

When more than half of the voting population voted for him, in spite of every verified reason not to, then any lie promoted by this White House is likely to be believed.

Mike Johnson needs to be removed as SOTH. Heโ€™s ineffective in his role & extremely partisan. His objective is to grow MAGA & not America.

By now many of you have seen the leak of the private chat between the Young Republicans leadership.
To say itโ€™s disgraceful is an understatement.

Musk can outspend Trump in legal fees & it wouldnโ€™t hurt Musk, instead it would financially devastate Trump beyond repair.

Epstein List. There are 2 things that made this trolling the most effective:
(1) In our road trips between Florida & Texas (I-10) OR Florida & Delaware (I-95) we saw only 1 Trump Flag or 1 Confederate Flag within 1K miles of each trip.
(2) Trump hasnโ€™t filed a defamation suit against Musk because

I think that the most effective anti-Trump trolling that has been done was not by any Democratic legislators, news media outlets or grassroots organizations. Rather, it was done by Elon Musk, shortly after the end of his DOGE services. At that time he publicly posted that Trumpโ€™s name was on the

Fair enough. But why celebrate it at all, since that doesnโ€™t change what history tells us? โ€œWeโ€™ve landed on your land, conquered, raped and pillaged on October 12, 1496 and weโ€™re going to commemorate that day by naming it for youโ€ฆas if nothing happened.โ€

*** SUGGESTION ***
Considering all perspectives and that no one has gone back to their โ€œcountry of originโ€, perhaps we should call October 12 โ€œNew World Dayโ€ and, moving forward, work with Canada, Mexico and South American nations to pay homage to the Indigenous People of the New World.

(5) Leif Erikson holds the distinction of being the first known European to set foot on North American soil.

(4) While Eriksonโ€™s voyage was historically significant, it did not lead to sustained European contact or colonization like Columbusโ€™s did.

So while Columbusโ€™s 1492 voyage marked the beginning of widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas,

(3) However, itโ€™s worth noting that Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer from Iceland, likely reached North America around the year 1000 AD, nearly 500 years earlier. He established a settlement called Vinland, believed to be in what is now Newfoundland, Canada.

(2) The first European explorer widely credited with landing in the New World is Christopher Columbus, who made landfall on an island in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492, during his first voyage across the Atlantic under the sponsorship of Spainโ€™s Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabellaโ€

(1) Many different views on what October 12th should be called; Columbus Day or Indigenous Peopleโ€™s Day. So I asked CoPilot the following question:
โ€œWhich of the European explorers was the first to land in the New World?โ€
The detailed response follows:

The January 6, 2021 insurrection sets up a perfect poll question to determine how much Americans know about Federal Government. The question:
โ€œWho was the POTUS on January 6, 2021 - Donald Trump or Joe Biden?โ€

Which of the 5 is your favorite to discuss/debate?

1. The public supports the subsidies
2. The issue is urgent since open enrollment starts soon
3. Premiums are set to shoot up next year
4. Most enrollees live in states that Trump won
5. The subsidies are expensive for the government

Does she even know what the word โ€œsalaciousโ€ means? What she did was projection, which is a tactic that an 8 year old uses when brought before their parents for parent-child disciplinary reasons.

Excellent! A judge that knows how to run a courtroom! Too many times judges are lazy & incompetent leaving it up to the defense/respondent to file motions to dismiss because the prosecution/petitioner didnโ€™t abide by the rules & procedures of the court.
By next Friday, the prosecution will fail to
