LIVE: Trump COVER UP of DARK PAST BACKFIRES…GOP PANICS!! YouTube video by MeidasTouch

Just sayin', once Adelita is sworn in, stuff may really hit the fan - unless the Hoover Building suffers an unfortunate "accident."

So, Senate Dems caved. The deal gave the GOP what it wanted in return for maybe a look next month at some sort of health insurance relief. Given their record, I wouldn't trust that commitment as far as I could throw the Capitol Building. Tim Kaine was among those joining the GOP on this one.

Being an old Navy man, I take your point.

About that swamp to be drained...El Gordo has pardoned El Baldo, Rudy Giuliani, Sydney Powell, John Eastman and others involved in overturning the 2020 election, accordingto the AP. I think that the swamp water is rising. Best break out the Wellies. It's getting pretty deep.

Looks like Schumer's gonna cave, and the Dems will pay dearly for it. Get him out of leadership!

The Dept of Agriculture issued a memo (order) to the states requiring them to immediately cease issuing full SNAP benefits and claw back any "overpayments" or face unspecified liability. How'd that banquet at Mar-a-Lago this weekend go for ya, DJT?

I agree.

That - accountability - is the point.

Hunger is no game. FUND SNAP!

Aaron Parnas reports that DJT left DC and hosted a lavish party (opera, celebrities, fancy food) at Mar-a-Lago this weekend as he resisted funding SNAP and continued to try killing Obamacare. We are NOT his playthings! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Michael Wolff, in the most recent episode of Inside Trump's Head, gives his assessment of the attitude of those in the WH. If the GOP loses the midterms, DJT's inner circle is finished - politically and criminally. Expect the desperate, no-hold-barred fight of the cornered animal.

District Judge Karin Immergut has made the temporary ban on Guard deployment to Portland permanent, according to BBC News. Of course, he'll run to the Supremes. EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY!

A trove of emails sent by Ghislaine Maxwell after her transfer to Club Fed in Texas shows how delighted she is at being there, as reported by NBC News. Isn't that precious? Since everybody seems happy now, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

And yes, Speaker Johnson stays in his hidey hole and extended the House's vacation for another week. Those folks from Red states should eventually come back nicely tanned. I didn't believe that the GOP was THAT cold hearted - until now. Are any Members using their salaries to help their staffs?

Chuck Schumer offered the GOP, "Extend healthcare for a year and we'll talk about it." Nope. Not having it. How more obvious can this get? DJT and the GOP want to so rig the system that they will be in power forever. History says, "That's impossible, so forget it." RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Hold the stuffing! El Gordo still wants empty plates on Thanksgiving. After a district court refused to intervene in the ruling to fully fund SNAP, DJT appealed to SCOTUS. Justice Jackson stayed full funding until the district rules. We find funds to pay troops but to feed people? Remember in Nov!

He blinked. The regime will follow court orders and fully fund SNAP for November. Meanwhile, they'll drag their feet on future funding while they appeal the order. All the GOP has to do is reinstate the Healthcare subsidy... And where are the EPSTEIN FILES?

By the way, in 2024, the wholesale turkey price was $0.94/#. This year, it's $1.32. Happy Thanksgiving! πŸ¦ƒ

Fact check: Cheaper Walmart Thanksgiving meal touted by Trump has fewer items than last year’s | CNN Politics President Donald Trump keeps touting the fact that Walmart’s promotional Thanksgiving meal basket is cheaper this year than it was last year. But Trump hasn’t mentioned that this year’s basket is diff...

El Gordo is creating an illusion. He's now the "affordability prez," claiming that Thanksgiving dinners are cheaper this year. He doesn't say that he's comparing apples to corn cobs, with fewer items and more generic products. Here's CNN's breakdown. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p...

I was speaking with a colleague when she dropped a thought bomb. She teaches citizenship, and the strongest motivation among students is the dream of voting. Even decades-long permanent residents yearn have a say in governing. NEVER take that right for granted, AND USE IT to make America better.

YOUR VOTE COUNTS! El Gordo is turning his public face to "afforability," according to Aaron Parnas's reporting. He'll spin tales about how prices are THE LOWEST EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, or some such foolishness. Meanwhile, his goons will roam the streets. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Democratic election victories in NYC, NJ, CA, and VA exceeded expectations. I'm going to do my own analysis on the result most directly impacting Virginia's Piedmont and specifically Culpeper. So, stand by. This may take a minute.

As voting surges across Virginia, the regime openly holds SNAP recipients hostage to its demands to reopen the federal government. Federal workers, contractors, the poor, children... All are fodder for the GOP bulldozer. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

El Gordo is going to pay HALF of SNAP benefits this month. After obviously admitting that their previous position (we can't pay out anything) was a lie, he's going to nickel-and-dime the poor and the needy. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

The Post assessed the LGBTQ+ attacks leveled by the GOP against Abby in this election. They don't seem as potent as the same theme in last year's presidential race. Tomorrow we'll know whether the paper is correct. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

YouTube video by The Bulwark Fox News Can’t Tell What’s Real Anymore

Tim Miller of The Bulwark offers up a cautionary tale of AI-generated truly-fake news. FOX got duped by a wholly faked and racist story about SNAP benefits and handled the revelation badly. youtu.be/LTn6IqEc_co?...

The moral of the story ... because even careful about what you see online.

So, because the regime wants to die on the hill of contingency funds, they're going to loot some other appropriation to obey the court order to pay SNAP benefits? Is this a hissy fit, or what?

Culpeper's town council on Tuesday unanimously approved a deal with Dominion Energy and a Colorado-based data center developer that guarantees a minimum $1.5 million annual tax payment for each data center built, according to the Star-Exponent. Does anyone know how many are in the town pipeline?

ACECO, of Silver Spring, MD, is reported by WTOP as the demolition company that has taken down the East Wing of the White House. The company has apparently gone dark on social media as the backlash makes itself felt. Will it and other companies take heed?
