"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Modern values have shifted, leading people to openly celebrate behaviors once considered indecent, selfish, or immoral, while neglecting traditional virtues. Critics argue this results in a "shameless" society prioritizing attention, nudity, and vice over integrity, kindness, and moral judgment.

McGowan: There's three people mentioned most in the Epstein files: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump. But we're deposing Hillary Clinton?

This was Friday, Feb. 20th after about 35 students from Quakertown High School in PA walked out around 11:30 a.m in peaceful protest of ICE.

Local police showed up and physically assaulted two students without provocation.

This is what Trump wants in every city and town in the US.

Almost every Special Prosecuter's investigation results have been published. Aileen Cannon's motivation to block lawmakers, the media & the public from knowing the truth about the stolen documents is much the same as every other action she made on this case, HIDE THE FACTS TO PROTECT THE CRIMINALS.

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.
