So dark and unhinged. The Trump regime is dropping thousands of bombs for clicks.

If you’re not horrified by this you have lost the thread.

Well, at least he’s leaving a trail for law enforcement, if one of his obsessive disciples does what I’m sure he’s trying to threaten me with in this post.

I recommend these guys stop spiralling and threatening me for reporting on things you say and do.

It makes them look desperate.

Every president since COVID has stayed above the pre-pandemic average — until now. That yellow bar in 2026 doesn’t just fall short. It crashes BELOW zero. Years of payroll growth, wiped out.
Trump didn’t inherit a mess.
He created one.

We just concluded a very good meeting with the largest U.S. Defense Manufacturing Companies where we discussed Production and Production Schedules. They have agreed to quadruple Production of the "Exquisite Class" Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity. Expansion began three months prior to the meeting, and Plants and Production of many of these Weapons are already under way. We have a virtually unlimited supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we are using, as an example, in Iran, and recently used in Venezuela. Regardless, however, we have also increased Orders at these levels. The Companies represented were the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The meeting concluded with another meeting scheduled in two months.
States all over the Country are bidding for these new Plants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Another one not written by Trump but which shows how much he’s been stung by the analysis that the US is running out of munitions.

Can’t be a big bully if you’ve only got a tiny stick.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.

He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.

She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
