While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Don't be fooled: historically this means Roberts is going to give Trump an elections gift very soon.

Likely gutting the Voting Rights Act.

Shock Poll: Americans Miss Joe Biden’s Economy Here’s what they’re worried about.

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs.

You read that right - Trump is just that amazing.

We should all be willing to allow Russia to lose its entire army in futile attacks on Pokrovsk. This will destroy Russia as a superpower threat, lowering the overall cost of national defense costs for much of the world & preventing Putin's future war plans. If Russians want to die for Putin, let 'em

NYT is now breaking the story of the corrupt bargain driven by Matthew Moroun to shut down this bridge project. State authorities in Michigan will need to investigate and prosecute it because DOJ will not.

Chuck Schumer declares he will "reform ICE to stop the killings of Americans because no other police department in America is allowed to do that."

US police annually kill 1500 to 2000 people, every single year.

Either Schumer is that incompetent or maliciously lying.

Please Replace Him ASAP.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Over the next nine months, pay attention to what Trump's friends in social media—Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison—choose to censor.

In the past 48 hours, it's been information about Epstein and ICE: two topics critical to 2026 GOTV efforts for Democrats.

These men work for the regime.
