Regardless of what you think about Hilary Clinton, she was right about all of it and now the US is paying a very steep price for not electing her. It didn't have to be this way and it will take a long time for the US to recover if it can at all.

“How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Americans, not other countries, paid Trump's tariffs in 2025 President Donald Trump has repeatedly said foreigners would pay for his import tariffs. A new report says Americans picked up most of the tab.

To the surprise of no one.

American consumers and companies paid nearly 90% of the cost of Felon 47’s illegal tariffs through late 2025, according to a new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

President Obama, got a standing ovation and loud applause at the All Star Game!

Why does president Obama get standing ovations and cheers while Vance and Trump repeatedly get booed and thumbs down at any sporting event they attend?

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have.

Jesus was clear about treating people justly & loving thy neighbor. The gop motto of, "let's round people up & put them in concentration camps", is about racism & hate.

If hearing that upsets someone who claims to be Christian,then it sounds like their real problem is with Jesus 😇.

Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.

"Public health officials have been especially alarmed by the resurgence of measles, and by attacks on the vaccine to prevent or mitigate the infections. Federal health officials have called the shot’s safety into question without scientific evidence."

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.

Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

The Trump administration says Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was captured at minimum cost to the US taxpayer. Bloomberg calculations show the price tag of the ships deployed in the Caribbean hit more than $20 million a day at its peak.

Perhaps a better way of saying this would be to say that in just his first year in office Donald Trump ordered the illegal detention of well over 4,000 human beings—and that that number is undoubtedly wildly low because it only considers those people who filed lawsuits to try to regain their freedom
