When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

The problem with James Dobson's busybody "Focus on the Family" is that it was focused on YOUR family, not his.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Trump and Vance ATTACK Zelenskyy in Oval Office and Align U.S. with PUTIN

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

One of the most persistent myths in American politics is that Ronald Reagan was for smaller government.

When he left office, there were more federal government employees than the day he was inaugurated.

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve β€œnorms” and protect β€œthe rights of the minority”

Odd, how the same people who got all rilled up about β€œgovernment interference in our livelihoods” when people had taken advice from Dr. Fauci to save their lives don’t seem to care when Elon Musk has taken their jobs to profit himself.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Eggs UP
Taxes UP
Gas UP

Dow Jones DOWN
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block.

Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.

Any US Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution.

I've discovered that trying to reason with relatives who watch @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social is like trying to teach a meth addict to meditate. A complete waste of time for both of us.
