Kash Patel said, "There's 'no Credible Information' Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women to others."

We’re carrying out the dumbest war under the supervision of two D-list TV personalities bragging about our war crimes and all the fast food CEOs are competing over who can take the biggest bites of their burgers.

Some are calling it the most American moment in history.

Democrats have won 42-46% of the vote in the South in every presidential election over the past three decades.

A key precept of the Trumpian ethos is that immigration is a threat not only to American culture but to its prosperity. Despite what the president says, evidence shows that immigrants do far more to aid the American labor force than to hinder it. trib.al/v8VG3c5

Watch Tim Walz school the worst of the worst GOP bigots Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison testified before the House Oversight Committee Wednesday, where GOP Reps. James Comer of Kentucky and Nancy Mace of South Carolina failed ...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told House Republicans their fraud claims didn’t hold upβ€”at one point reminding Rep. James Comer that Minnesota’s Medicaid error rate is lower than Kentucky’s.

The hearing didn’t quite go the way they planned.

Centrists should brace themselves for Democrats who are fed up with their capitulation, Reagan-lite economics and morality-blind foreign policy. Times up. Corporate Dems failed the country. Time to return to the roots of the party and tap into the energy of young voters who have a different vision.

If you are Gen X, Millenial, Gen Z or Gen Alpha, you have essentially never known a moment in your adult life when the U.S. has not been preparing to fight, fighting, supporting or teeing up the conditions to fight an unnecessary, costly war in the Middle East.

Roughly half of U.S. workers wouldn’t pay taxes under Democrat’s plan Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s tax relief plan could benefit tens of millions of middle-class workers, with a focus on those making at or below a living wage.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) has a plan that he says would ensure roughly half of all U.S. workers pay no federal income taxes.

The measure would be paid for by a new surcharge on millionaires.

DOJ is trying to convince a judge that RFK Jr.'s decisions are untouchable "Totally unreviewable" is how the Trump administration apparently views Kennedy's actions as health secretary.

A lawyer for the Justice Department argued on Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine decisions are protected from legal scrutiny.

So much so that the Trump administration appears to believe that Kennedy’s actions are β€œtotally unreviewable."

Headline from Rolling stone Feb. 25, 2025 saying the ad campaign was Trump's idea.

The story of Trump approving Noem's ads has been out there for over a year. In fact, according to Noem back in Feb. 2025, he ordered her to make them, thanking Donald Trump for making America safe. I don't think Kristi's the one who is lying about this.
