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.

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.
Two Detroit police officers are in hot water after calling U.S. Border Patrol to routine traffic stops in violation of department policy.
TheΒ Detroit Board of Police Commissioners voted unanimously, 10-0, to suspend the officers without pay for 30 days while termination proceedings take place.
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 βrefundβ mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. Thatβs 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.
