Newly released body camera footage shows the chaotic moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a US citizen by an immigration officer in Texas last year, which only recently came to light.

Trump ordered US β€œinsurance and guarantees” for ships traveling through the Gulf and suggested the navy would escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz β€œif necessary.” The price of gasoline in the US had its largest one-day increase since 2005 as the war threatens the global economy. Trump pays?

FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week that specializes in threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran. TRUMPERS BECOME THE SMARTEST PERSONS IN THE ROOM ONLY BY CANNING ALL THE SMART ONES.

It seems the US decided to wag the dog to start a war to avoid dealing with their alleged criminality associated with the sexual behavior of the Epstein issues. I only hope is that the truth finally arrives and the
criminals are imprisoned.

Natasha Bertrand, Zachary Cohen, and Jennifer Hansler of CNN reported this evening that briefers from the Pentagon today told congressional staff that Iran had not been planning to attack U.S. forces or bases in the Middle East unless Israel attacked first. It seems this is Epstein diversion

Energy analysts have warned that closing the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s oil passes, could send Brent crude prices soaring to $100 a barrel.
Iran has conducted military exercises near the strait to demonstrate that threat. At the polls remember Trump did it.

Trump was hosting a fund raiser at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, as the U.S. offensive began. The New York Times reported last November that tickets for the dinner dance were $1 million apiece. The optics of Trump partying with his rich cronies while American soldiers died. Led to Send Barron calls.

Man attacked an Austin bar at closing time killing two and wounding fourteen. The suspect was wearing a shirt with an Iranian flag design on it underneath a hoodie printed with β€œProperty of Allah,” a law enforcement official told CNN.

Trump promised to resolve disputes by negotiating. A lie.

Trump on three military deaths. Trump says that’s the way it is. That’s it. It’s sad that so many people claiming to be religious are die hard Trumpers. They have chosen the dark side of life. How sad they are. They are storm troopers for Trump and that’s all he will say about our dead soldiers

In 1965 the high school national high school debate topic was about stopping the proliferation of nuclear weapons. I never heard an affirmative plan that worked. All these decades later we have our answer now. You can’t. Trump calls it EPIC. I call it the beginning of the end. Where will you be?

Trump says he loves minors/ miners. It’s a homophone. Take your pick.

For a few hours on Friday, the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision that President Donald Trump’s global tariffs are an illegal and unprecedented abuse of emergency wartime powers looked poised to leave Trump’s second-term legacy in tatters.

Republican leaders and media figures fed their audiences the story that the middle class was imploding not because of Republican policies but because undeserving Black people, people of color, and feminist women demanded government handouts. This narrative fueled Trump’s political rise and cruelty

Extremist Republicans attacked their opponents as socialists even as their tax cuts and deregulation were moving money dramatically upward: at least $50 trillion moved upward from the bottom 90% to the top 1% between 1975 and 2020.

One year into President Donald Trump’s second term, White evangelical Protestants remain among his strongest supporters. Most White evangelicals (69%) approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, and a majority (58%) say they support all or most of his plans and policies.

Bondi works for the American people, and that role carries a fundamental obligation: to pursue justice.

In that case it would mean finding out the full truth about what happened to the girls and young women who were trafficked on Epstein’s island and the powerful men who participated in his acts
