The “media” I consume is what some would call the “mainstream media”. They are held to account for what they speak or write. Other outlets such as Facebook, X, Truth Social, or even Bluesky are electronic bulletin boards and we need to be wary of the source. I don’t trust anything on the first 3
Funny thing is… most of us don’t think that the vaccines need any further justification. His choice of the person to run HHS has never been and cannot be justified.
Indeed it does.
So idiotic it’s hard to respond. No wonder Putin is ignoring DJT, with morons running our country he can afford to sit back and laugh
That will fix everything
I am starting to think DJT is smarter than I gave him credit for. So this is why he hired RFK Jr… if produce and meats get too expensive due to his beautiful tariffs the HSS secretary will show us how to survive on roadkill. Stable genius
I agree with him. Guns don’t kill people, people with angry human hearts or mental health issues kill people. Usually with guns. That’s why we need to find a way to keep those people from obtaining these weapons. Now he needs to be part of the solution
The US used to be the leader in things like this. Now we take the backseat due to a conservative mentality that wants to take us back to the past. I guess I had better start a buggy whip company
If anyone still needs evidence of what a petty and pitiful person he is they just got it
200 days of being a toady to DJT isn’t on the job training for being president, only for being a toady
I guess we’ll be seeing him make his exit soon
We grieve with you in California. Such a tragedy. Long past time for some real ideas and action
I wonder how much he, excuse me, WE paid for that.
But they got their distraction. Don’t think they really wanted to put the guy away
Anyone as old as I am remembers the days when Republicans chanted “states rights” as a solution for everything. Now some of the same people (it wasn’t long ago really) stand by or encourage the administration to take charge of everything. Their spine seems to grow back only when they retire.
Perhaps we should encourage the Noble Committee to issue a prize for BS. That one nobody would question if DJT won
That, as they say, is a big “if”. At this point it doesn’t seem to me that Putin is very concerned about anything that comes out of the White House. Every deal can be reversed, changed, our bought out on any given day with the current administration. But your optimism is encouraging! Thx for posting
I can read his lips. He is saying “I’m gonna have my way with you the likes of which nobody he ever seen before”
Who wooda thunk it would be the Republicans that would turn commie first
Or will he just use it as a reason to further encourage American companies to onshore their production.
How ironic. I’ve been to your so called third world countries and they have uniformed soldiers armed and on the streets. Let’s not aspire to become like them. Back to sanity in ‘26
Agreed. But unfortunately during this administration they are being used for the show rather than any purpose the National Guard was created for
Very fitting that JDV, who once wondered if DJT might be Americans Hitler, is now celebrating that DJT is using the military against Americans. Shame on me for assuming his Hitler comparison was intended as an insult
Surely you wouldn’t be suggesting that if we hire a TV star president, then he hires TV reporters to fill his administration, add in a rhinestone cowgirl for Secretary of Homeland Security we might get a miniseries rather than real leadership?
What’s with all the talk about a Nobel peace prize? Let’s get the peace part first then talk about the prize
Love the posts from Newsom! If he keeps it up DJT will have a meltdown the likes of which nobody has ever seen before on the planet or maybe even beyond the planet
Gotta love the comments from the energy secretary. He fits right in with the administration. Blame others for things going the wrong way and take credit for things that are going well, even when the good stuff happened during the previous administration
I’m sure Hannity will be the new chief of staff. He’s been on a plane before… what more qualifications would one need for the job???
We had honest numbers, but that is not what DJT wants. Someone that would attend his riot will surely post any numbers he wants.
It would be interesting if he explained why he would not have invaded another sovereign country if DJT was president at that time. It’s hard to imagine anything he could say other than DJT would have turned a blind eye.
Michael you must know how DJT will be using this. “A lot of people in the media are talking about a Noble Peace Prize for me…”
Tell me this was a doctored video
Just call him President Fiddle, as in he is being played like one.
Must not have gotten the OK for his Moscow Trump tower. Bummer.
Big brother in charge of everything. Right down to the municipal level. Even running the Kennedy Center! But all those folks that used to complain about government intrusion now sit quietly so as not to upset you know who and risk their high dollar TAXPAYER funded job
Peace? Nope. Economics? Nope. Science? Ha. Literature? He can hardly put together a coherent sentence. Heck, give him a participation medal and call it good.
I’m not feeling it
I wish I could share your optimism but even if it “ends” we wouldn’t know if it is really over for a long time. If Putin eats half his sandwich for lunch and waits to eat the other half for dinner the sandwich is still gone. We need to stand with Ukraine!
P.T Barnum always needed to add new acts to the show. Our carnival barker in chief is just doing the same.
There have been too many major moments for the USA where the feds are getting involved where they should not be. The Trump/Vance form of governance where all power is at the federal level is what countries that have lived under this system are fighting to get free from.
Let’s just hope nobody comes after us… he might just roll over like he is expecting Ukraine to do
Go get ‘em!
He has been talking about a land swap, we just didn’t know it was going to be our land he was going to give up
“Volodymyr, you give Vlad Ukraine and we’ll sell you Greenland (once we procure it of course). Vlad, All you have to do is nominate me for the Noble Peace Prize and we’re done. Ohhh the art of the deal”.
It seems like everything this administration does ends up getting clawed back or at least partially so. I get the feeling any money we save or take in will be spent on lawyers unscrambling the mess created by their haphazard approach to governing
Thanks for the post. Thousands of Americans just had a big increase in their job security
Sorry, no numbers rare, medium, or well done coming from the White House have any meaning to me at all.
Count me as one that applauds any effort to reduce the homicide rate in any city. You could have used many other US cities to compare with that have an even higher rate. What is he doing to “fix” it? Sensible legislation on firearms? No brain worm. RFK Jr did, now making $250k/yr.
Thank you for keeping people informed on what goes on behind the scenes. Little by little more people will see what a corrupt person is running our great nation and we will avoid making the mistake of electing his partners in corruption into office
In that Japan refused to surrender and their soldiers were trained to fight to their death rather than surrender the bombing was justified. I do wonder why a less populated area with a more military target could not have been selected to display the power of our new weapons
The world has learned… butter his bread with complements and praise and he will do whatever you want.
I feel for you man!
I would like to see a video of any arrest. When they get to the part where they say “you’re under arrest for _______…” what will be in the blank? “leaving the state of Texas”? “leaving work early”? “ticking off the Governor”? Who says politics can’t be entertaining
Someone at Tesla needs to borrow his chainsaw. There are plenty of smart people out there that could run the company for a much smaller amount in a way that would not alienate the customers. Might even be able to design a truck that doesn’t look like my high school metal shop project.
Such a shame. I miss the days when news was news and opinion was opinion.
I lost respect for Tesla when they left California. You gotta dance with the fella that brung you. Elon can go convince the MAGA crowd to buy EV’s.
And all the libs think he’s an idiot when he’s obviously a mathematical genius
What would you expect from someone who famously got loans by giving banks phony numbers. You can’t have someone honest in the position of reporting data when you run a dishonest business.
In authoritarian regimes people would just disappear if the leader didn’t like the data. Other than that pretty much the same
Who needs data anyway. If DJT has a feeling that the jobs numbers are better than the data shows isn’t that good enough? Let’s all just celebrate with another round of kool-aid
I would normally agree but Trump makes it difficult. On purpose I am sure. Plus your timing is pretty bad on this one.
Months ago I realized that any stats coming from this administration needed to be confirmed other sources. I thought I was just being paranoid.
Watch for the revised numbers soon drawn in with a sharpie.
If 60% of voters vote Democrat and 40% vote Republican in any given district that district goes to the Democrat. Coastal California (where people live) votes blue mostly and have Democratic representatives. Inland areas the opposite. Nothing to do with gerrymandering. Try again
It’s a long term question. So far the new tariff/taxes on imports is hurting as we would have seen interest rate cuts by now without the new tax
Wouldn’t be my definition of working.
And then tax the heck out of us though the huge tariff/taxes put on imported products. Put dollars into one pocket and take it from the other. We see the scam! And don’t get me started on the huge debt increase that our kids and grandkids will pay for!
So we just call a national emergency and don’t allow any foreign athletes into the country then declare the USA winner of all events! Sounds like a Trump golf tournament.
Solutions with the realization that there won’t be immediate solutions for everybody’s needs.
The funny thing about pendulums is that he harder you push it one way, the further it swings the other way once it turns. The GOP once understood the laws of physics.
Well you wouldn’t get a pardon till after the midterms but…
My God, what an idiot
We don’t know what is in the files yet but if his past statements about grabbing’em by the ***** or bragging about banging 24 year old women when he was 60 was brushed off by his supporters it’s hard to imagine what other creepy things could be in the files that would hurt him. The party will pay
Had Joe Biden announced after he was elected that he would be a one term president and started helping younger dems move toward running he would have been a hero and we could have avoided DJT 47.
Anyone keeping track of how many people that DJT pardoned have been re-arrested already?
This is how our taxpayer dollars are being “saved”? Just sad. All so a multi billionaire can jump around on stage with a chainsaw and make a spectacle of himself on TV.
Great point. Let’s switch from one unhealthy sweetener to another and we will get the the seal of approval from the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
The idea that they are wearing masks for their protection is flawed. We have a president and much of his administration whose main claim to fame is being television stars. It’s all for show.
Great piece. If American First is just from a financial perspective our global friendships will be very superficial.
This is happening in the USA. Unbelievable
I wouldn’t say failed, but went too far for many voters. That’s the beauty of democracy.
Amazing stories about amazing young people. We are blessed to have so many that willingly put their lives on the line for out country.
Yum!
Celebrities are welcome to endorse and support any candidate of their choice, just like the rest of us. But one party running the Hollywood crowd for political office (Reagan, Schwarzenegger, Trump, et al) is more than enough.
I will encourage any of my friends that still support this guy to have a chat with people that lived through authoritarian regimes. I’m guessing they will see a pattern.
Where is Dog-E when you need them
DJT says it was gifted to the US government, not him. That just means in a few years we will find it in a bathroom in Mar-a-lago.
There’s a sucker born every minute…
How about neither? Could it simply be he saw someone make a political statement in the sand with shells and thought it would be an interesting post?
Hilarious!
I have 5 little grandchildren that will be marching in the streets if they go after Ms. Rachel!
Unbelievable. I guess as long as you are not an immigrant this administration will be softies on crime
We will never see a immediate reversal of support for DJT like Canada just experienced with their Conservative candidate. But as long as his actions cause more centrist Republicans to lose rather than gain confidence in him there will be erosion.
My head is hurting even more
There were so many people in his first term he hired but fired them calling them “losers” or worse. Now his second term may well be starting the same way. I wonder if there will ever be a point where his base will question who the loser really is.
Tax cuts? I remember when he said he would make so much money from tariffs that he would pay for childcare. He wouldn’t backpedal on that would he?
Keep making that point. Even the media that is not supportive of Trump often refers to the case as a “deportation “ rather than incarceration without due process in either country.
Stay strong sir!
Michelle in a landslide over Jr.
Just wait for our new $5,000,000 gold card holders who bought their way into the country start buying their own judges also. Buckle up!
