The Trump Administration again shows a huge disdain for senior military officers by dismissing a Navy Admiral and replacing him with a much younger and less qualified corporate eager beaver. Trump fears anyone who might stand up to him.

This definitely sums it up.

Trump’s retribution sends a chilling message to dissenters

Wow. The guy who calls others that depend on government assistance "parasites" is now forcing government to bail out his failing platform. He is truly a pathetic piece of garbage.

Most of us with a fair amount of education saw this coming. The sad thing is that there really are people that feel this is going to open up opportunities for them; that we are going to enter a "golden age" and they will prosper. They have a better chance at winning the lottery.

Lies and the City New York City is great again, but MAGA can’t handle the truth

open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug... Paul Krugman hits the nail right on the head. Large democratic cities are not near as dangerous as the MAGA purports them to be. They are, in fact, much safer.

Like so many others in this administration, he has led a privileged life and never spent time in the real world.

I would think that, at this point, Tesla would be having trouble retaining employees, not to mention attracting new talent. Unless Nazism becomes the next groovy new fad taking the world by storm, Tesla's future will be even more bleak.

So glad I dumped the Washington Post. They have made the decision to go from a great newspaper to a soulless peddler of propaganda. Adios Amazon and Whole Foods!

I miss hearing a President speak like this.

If only it weren't so.

Former RNC chair launches shocking attack on Republican Party MSNBC host Michael Steele launched into a fiery attack on 'problematic' Republicans and told them to 'wake the hell up.'

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article... Former RNC Chair Michael minces holds nothing back when he sounds the alarm about where we are heading. Everyone needs to be as angry as he is about what the Trump-Musk team is up to.

Now that I've read this, I am concerned that Korea heats up again. Now that Trump is in power and is not willing to commit the US to the cause, South Korea may be in jeopardy.

I think he resents the development of the Covid vaccine. When Covid didn't dissipate on its own, he hoped that his crusade pushing malaria drugs as treatment would end it, and he would be hailed as a savior.

I agree. The Creep State has came in with a well thought out plan and is moving like a Cheetah. Our government never had a clue this would happen. We are forced to rely on a Court System that moves like a Sloth.

Trump Will Withhold Money From Schools That Require Covid Vaccines An estimated 15 colleges still required Covid vaccines for students as of late last year. No states require K-12 students to get the shots.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/u... What a petulent little boy. Perhaps it would serve him well if no press shows up for him?

Same here. While I like that lawsuits are being filed, between speed at which the administration moving and the fact that courts move slowly and are overseen by republican judges, something else needs to happen sooner.

Totally Under Control g.co/kgs/M3vXpWw This is an excellent documentary on the mismanagement of the Covid pandemic is the U.S. Although a bit long (2 hours), it was worth watching. On a side note, the Philadelphia Eagles owner is the film's Executive Producer.

My God, what a mess! What is it with these squirrels that makes them so certain that we have to follow their ways? I can't see this administration making it in 4 years

Bishop Budde's sermon was a masterpiece. Not surprised by Facebook.

Jan. 6 Defendant Shuns Trump’s Pardon, Likening ‘Stop the Steal’ to a ‘Cult’ Pamela Hemphill, 71, of Boise, Idaho, who served 60 days in prison, said it would be “an insult to the Capitol Police” if she accepted the pardon.

Welcome!

It makes sense. Life in Youngstown turned upside down and no one turned it right side up again; those citizens were fed up with being ignored. Someone that listens and reaches out to them will get their votes, even if that someone is facist.

Reminds me of the Sears and K-Mart merger. Just buying some time, hoping a miracle arrives before the grim reaper gets there.

I agree. There will come a time when their illusions cause them to crash into a brick wall.
