“One of the things we need in our elected leaders is for them to tell the truth, even if it’s unpopular,” Mr. Hurd said. “Donald Trump is not running to make America great again. Donald Trump is not running for president to represent the people that voted for him in 2016 or 2020. Donald Trump us running to stay out of prison.”
The vast majority of the crowd did not agree. Boos rang out, and some attendees clattered their silverware to drown him out, a stark illustration of the risks of going after the former president.“

“The new indictment also levels accusations of a broader effort by Trump and some of those around him to cover their tracks as the FBI sought to retrieve highly classified documents kept at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s home and private club, long after his presidency ended. The indictment charges that Trump and two aides, Waltine “Walt” Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, requested that another Trump employee “delete security camera footage at the Mar-a-Lago Club to prevent the footage from being provided to a federal grand jury.”

“It was then that Mr. De Oliveira told Mr. Taveras that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” the indictment said, referring to the computer server holding the security footage.“

How ironic after Trump was elected in 2016 claiming that Hillary should be in jail for deleting emails on her server.

So now he must be held accountable criminally.


“House and Senate Republicans [failed] — not just through the course of the Trump presidency, but most fatefully after Trump left office, when they declined to vote for his impeachment and conviction even while knowing, as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, “there is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.” Convicting Trump would have served the important function of disabling him from seeking future elective office, but the Senate chose not to take that route. “We have a criminal justice system in this country,” McConnell said then. “We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one.”

“Florida public schools will now teach students that the once constitutionally protected system under which enslavers bought and sold human beings had an apparent upside. In addition to being subjected to maiming, beatings, rape and murder, enslaved Black people “developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

She works for Brietbart now. Lol


She also seems to wish we wasn’t gay. Even her wife says so. What a hero you are Emma. Had you been born black you would have said the Masters were right. If she was Jewish, she would have helped the Germans at the death camps. She should get together with Lindsey Graham.

“Yes, but also, no. I don’t have any flag other than the American flag; and my proclivity isn’t something I earned, it’s not a point of pride, it wasn’t a wish, it just is what it is, why would I want a parade about that?”

Pride month celebrates the people who made it possible for Emma to openly be gay and still have a power job. The result of struggle and sacrifice by those before her and is a reflection of America’s rapid strides and exceptional achievement on this issue. If we had relied on Emma to take on the bigotry, gay people would still be hiding in closets.

Mark Meadows will either flip on Trump or go to jail.

“People in Trump’s orbit have grown increasingly concerned about what they see as Meadows’s retreat from the public scene as a prominent defender of the former president. He has reduced his public appearances, particularly on television — where he was once a frequent guest. He has not posted on Twitter in five months”

“Some of the changes were mandated by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which directs the Interior Department to increase the royalty rates paid by companies that drill on public lands to 16.67 percent from 12.5 percent, and to increase the minimum bid at auctions for drilling leases to $10 per acre from $2 per acre, among other provisions. The 12.5 percent royalty rates have been in place since 1920.“

“Soon after the Saudi company, Fondomonte Arizona, arrived in the Butler Valley in 2015, state planners suggested asking the company to install meters and report its water use. But the proposal “hit a stone wall,” John Schneeman, one of the planners, told The Post. It was spurned, he said, by officials in the administration of then-Gov. Doug Ducey (R) who were “cautious of tangling with a powerful company.”


“A Post investigation — based on government documents and interviews with public officials, ranchers in the valley, farmworkers, and townspeople who live near the alfalfa fields — found that Arizona’s lax regulatory environment and sophisticated lobbying by the Saudi-owned company allowed a scarce American resource to flow unchecked to a foreign corporation”

Republicans are too dumb to protect their water resources

The Florida governor’s presidential campaign is relying on paid canvassers rather than volunteers

Speaking on his phone while wearing a T-shirt with “DESANTIS” in big letters and a lanyard representing the Never Back Down super PAC, he used lewd remarks to describe what he would tell the homeowner to do to him. “And I’m a little stoned, so I don’t even care,” he added, holding materials and appearing to wait for another homeowner to come to the door.

The outburst — seen on a Ring doorbell video recording that was shared with The Washington Post — led to the canvasser’s dismissal this week, according to an official from Never Back Down. It highlighted a potential risk of the unprecedented effort by DeSantis donors to flood early primary states with thousands of paid door knockers armed with high-tech tools to win support one conversation at a time”

A New Hampshire student, referring to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that followed Trump’s incendiary harangue and disrupted the certifying of electoral votes, asked DeSantis last month whether Trump “violated the peaceful transfer of power.” DeSantis’s less-than-courageous answer: “I wasn’t anywhere near Washington that day. I have nothing to do with what happened that day.” Good grief. He wasn’t anywhere near Gettysburg in July 1863 and had nothing to do with the moon landing in July 1969, but that does not preclude him from having thoughts about these events.

Blue states send more money to the Federal treasury than red states. Red states get back more money from the government than they send.


“There’s also a clean partisan divide. Nine of the 10 states that sent the most to the federal government, per person, voted for President Biden in 2020. Nine of the 10 states that sent the least voted for former president Donald Trump. The typical resident of deep-blue Connecticut sent almost three times as much to Washington as the typical resident of deep-red Mississippi”

“The injunction came in response to a lawsuit brought by Republican attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri, who allege that government officials went too far in their efforts to encourage social media companies to address posts that they worried could contribute to vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic or upend elections”

Because it’s so much more fun when you have to sift through the lies to find the facts!

“Over the last five years, coordination and communication between government officials and the companies increased as the federal government responded to rising election interference and voter suppression efforts after revelations that Russian actors had sowed disinformation on U.S. social sites during the 2016 election. Public health officials also frequently communicated with the companies during the coronavirus pandemic, as falsehoods about the virus and vaccines spread on social networks including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube”

Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, writing for the majority, said that because Lorie Smith’s designs are recognized as speech, the state cannot compel her to create a message she does not believe in, even if she offers her talents for hire.
So this time, instead of saying a business can discriminate based on their religious beliefs, like the cake for a gay couple, this time they said the business can discriminate based on their right to free speech (or not exercise free speech) for a website for a gay wedding. This is truly a stretch of the imagination.

So you can’t deny someone a seat at a restaurant because they are gay.
You cannot deny someone a hotel room because they are a gay couple.

But a creative cake or a “speech” containing webpage, those can be denied to someone for being gay. Ridiculous.

“Grossberg’s discrimination suit made claims of an “overtly misogynistic” environment on Carlson’s production team, which she joined in September 2022, where “the staff’s distaste and disdain for women infiltrated almost every workday decision.”

Gretchen Carlson got 20 million for sexual harassment 

And now Grossberg gets 12 million for a hostile work environment 

Both Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly paid multimillion dollar settlements for sexual harassment and Megyn Kelly also reported being sexually harassed.

Any American should be ashamed of themselves for watching FOX just for the way they treat women let alone the lies and misinformation they tell the public.

Why would anyone who is not wealthy vote for Republicans?

In 2017 they dramatically cut taxes, including zero inheritance taxes on estates valued up to 13 million, while doing nothing to lower the cost of college for poor and middle class Americans.

In the good ole days, the 1950s and 60s, college tuition was free and the wealthy paid a top tax rate of 90% under Eisenhower and 70% under Kennedy.

Was it socialism to have free college back then? Why is it socialism now?

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) welcomed the court’s decision on Friday. “The American people know that the Biden Administration’s student loan socialism plan would be a raw deal for hardworking taxpayers,” he said. “Now that the Supreme Court has rejected the Administration’s position in Biden v. Nebraska, they can know that it’s illegal.”

Are you hoping to return to a time when “girls were girls and men were men” ?

You may remember the theme song from All in the Family, Those were the Days.
So back in the 70s people were thinking back to the good ole days when “guys like me had it made”.

Why do people always think times were better long ago? Because long ago, they were young. 

Republicans especially seem to fall into this trap.

“Biden said that rural communities suffer from a similar disparity known as the “digital divide” — a persistent gap between the families, workers and employers that have high-speed internet access and those that do not. Even in a time of self-driving cars, commercial spaceflight and artificial intelligence, roughly 7 percent of the United States still does not have broadband service that meets the government’s minimum standards, according to new federal estimates.
“It’s the biggest investment in high-speed internet ever, because for today’s economy to work for everyone, internet access is just as important as electricity or water or other basic services,” Biden said.


Democrats help people in red states even though they will never admit it and always vote Republican 

Trump aimed tax increases at blue state Americans, but Biden aims financial aid at red state Americans 

You see the difference? Democrats are fundamentally better people than Republicans.

The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), ( a former stripper) alleges that Schiff “spread false accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia” and abused his privileged access to classified information. It also says that Schiff “behaved dishonestly and dishonorably on many other occasions.”


Republicans are strippers, grifters, divorcees, alcoholics and rapists.

This is the Party of family values and Christian Religion?

Lauren Boebert- dropped out of high school when she became pregnant. Worked as a prostitute, she is now divorced.

Marjorie Taylor Greene- recently divorced 

Anna Paulina Luna - worked at a strip club while on active duty in the Air Force

George Santos - lied repeatedly about his background when running for Congress. Has been known to dress as a woman for drag shows

Donald Trump - recently found liable for sexually assaulting a woman in a dressing room and then lying about it.

Matt Gaetz- lost his license in Florida for DUI and paid a 17 year old for sex while a member of Congress.

“no vaccine mandates, no abortion after six weeks, no diversity and inclusion programs in the classroom, no laws requiring the governor to disclose his travel records. He loosened gun restrictions ( except at his events, then no guns allowed) He tightened limits on undocumented immigrants. He outlawed gender-affirming care for minors”

The office (congressional) wasn’t toxic, recalled a former aide; it was just “weird.” DeSantis had his quirks: He kept the same yellow stadium-style cup by his desk that he filled daily with water and soft drinks. No one ever touched it. There were three things he liked to talk about with his staff: the Constitution, baseball and golf. The one thing they joked about, the former staffer said, was Trump. “Ron always said this guy was just an idiot.”

But because DeeSantis is two-faced, he kissed Trump’s ass to get the votes from the MAGA morons in Florida.

“McCarthy began by calling the indictment a “brazen weaponization of power” and a “grave injustice.” He threatened to block funding for a new FBI headquarters in retaliation. This week, he accused Biden of stealing classified documents from a secure facility, and he said that Trump’s handling of documents (piled in a bathroom) was superior to Biden’s (in a garage) because “a bathroom door locks.”


Will Trump avail himself of the privacy-lock defense? And will anybody have the heart to tell McCarthy that garage doors have locks? Or that bathroom doors only lock from the inside?

“Clinton didn’t keep classified documents or transmit them on the server. Rather, the emails sent on the server referred to classified information; they did not, with the exception of three email chains that had a paragraph or two marked “(C),” for confidential — contain other flags that the material was classified”

In addition, prosecutors did not find indications of any intent to obstruct in the Clinton lawyers’ deletion of the emails they decided were personal. They ( the FBI) “concluded that there was no evidence that emails intentionally were deleted by former Secretary Clinton’s lawyers to conceal the presence of classified information on former Secretary Clinton’s server,” (inspector general) Horowitz reported.

The interconnectedness of the U.S. gun crisis, violence and drug trafficking, and the crisis at the U.S. southern border.

Americans buy drugs from south of the border creating demand.

Drug cartels fight for the right to supply these drugs and make a lot of money

This fight creates a demand for AR-15 type weapons south of the border

America produces these weapons, sells them to Americans who then sell them to smugglers who take these guns across our border

American guns are then used by the drug cartels for violence all over Mexico and Central America.

This destabilizes those countries causing people to flee the violence and they migrate to the border seeking asylum 

The same Americans who support the gun makers and the availability of AR-15s complain about asylum seekers at the border.

“In May, once again, the U.S. economy trounced Wall Street forecasts. The nation’s employers added 339,000 jobs, much higher than predicted. This marks 13 out of the past 14 months that the U.S. job market has beaten expectations.
In fact, many economists have been warning of not just a slowdown, but an imminent recession, for about a year now. Yet nothing about this job market suggests recession. Why has the economy overperformed? Or, to put it another way, why has the economy been so consistently underestimated?”
