Trump appoints Charlie Kirk's widow Erika to Air Force Academy Board of Visitors President Donald Trump has tapped Erika Kirk, the widow of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to serve on the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors.

At first, I thought this was an Onion post, so I had to check it out before posting. WTF?
The Board is responsible for inquiring into the overall state of the Academy and making recommendations to the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Air Force, and Congress.

Not to forget he promised to stop spending our money in foreign countries. They cheered ending USAID, and cheer spending more into other countries. Adding .$2.4 trillion to the debt, too
They are the suckers he always wanted

Trump tells consumers high prices at pump are the cost of war - NewsBreak Capital Region residents had to fork over $7 more than usual to fill their tanks with gas when the work week began Monday.

Wow, his cult will accept anything from him. Raising taxes on them with tariffs. Higher gas prices due to his unconstitutional war in Iran because he's not getting Congressional approval.

I'm still shocked he's got as much of an approval rating as he does now. It should be lower. When gas goes above $4, I'm sure it will be lower.

Fox News apologizes for showing old video of a hatless Donald Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony Fox News apologized for airing old video of a hatless President Donald Trump during coverage Sunday of his attendance at the dignified transfer ceremony for U.S. soldiers killed in the Middle East war...

They can apologize for their cover-up, but it is too late. They played an old, dignified transfer, not the live one, to make their followers believe he wasn't out there wearing a baseball cap.

2.4-Cent Rule: For every $1 change in the price of a barrel of oil, the price at the pump typically changes by about 2.4 cents per gallon, assuming other factors like refining and taxes remain constant. On March 1st, it was $2.99; it has risen from $70 to $107. $37*.024 is $.88. Avg $3.87 in the AM.

Did not age very well.
October 2024, Trump said:
β€œWe’re going to make prices so low, you won’t believe it. Gas under $2 a gallon means groceries, housing, everything will be affordable again.”

This is the "Inflation is Transitory" moment for the Trump administration. We won't see gas in the $2 range again for a long time.

I agree. My cousin reposted something yesterday that Mamdani is going to pass an almost 10% tax on properties for everyone in NYC. The truth is, it's for people with property valued at over $3 million.

On March 1st, oil futures for April were just under $70. In just a week, it's up over 50%.

TRUMP DID THIS!

NY State Senate Bill 2025-S8803 Establishes an additional real property tax exemption for the primary residence of veterans with a one hundred percent service connected disability.

All the hate Mamdani gets from the right, then he does this. Imagine caring so much for Vets you get a bill passed within 90 days of being in office that will help 100% disabled veterans. We should be taking care of our veterans. www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

Interesting how Trump is out golfing in Doral while the government just announced a 7th dead soldier for his war in Iran to both quiet down the Epstein rhetoric and cancel the mid-terms.
