Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

omg. When you've lost the hollers...

Leavitt: "All of those questions have yet to be answered but certainly will be answered by the FBI. I think the American people in your audience can be assured -- look at the great work in the hours and days following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. That was a successful investigation."

Inside the World of “The Great British Bake Off” The show captures disastrous custard-making, quintessentially British faux-modesty, and the blistering hubris of bakers—including me.

What makes “The Great British Bake Off” so beloved is that it’s one of the most successful unscripted shows of the century and still feels like an underdog. Ruby Tandoh, a former contestant, shares stories from inside the tent.

The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him

The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses.

We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

Trump can’t escape the original sin of his presidency: His bond with Putin The US president aided and abetted the Russian leader's attack on America.

Pundits and politicians ought to keep foremost in mind that Trump is sitting in the White House partly because of Putin’s skullduggery.

That’s the original sin of his presidencies, and many in Ukraine and America are bearing its consequences.

An idea:

Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

U.S. Democratic Socialists August 15, 2025 The Kennedy Center Honors are cancelled until 2029. They'll be replaced by a tacky annual show hosted by a vulgar white supremacist ex-game show host, reflecting his shallow taste and ignorance. Your patience until this is corrected is appreciated.

A $45 Treatment Can Save a Starving Child. US Aid Cuts Have Frozen the Supply

USAID funded roughly half the world’s supply of ready-to-use therapeutic food. The dismantling of the agency has disrupted the global supply chain that provides the packets, leaving thousands of malnourished children at risk of dying.

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.

The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections. Remember, the States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do. With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender and “WOKE” for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS. I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS. THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!! REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS, AND STRONG AND POWERFUL BORDERS, YOU DON’T HAVE EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF A COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
