“It was time to set aside childish things, Pres. Obama said in 2009…But we are saddled with a seriously corrupt & criminal man in the White House, who is also childishly undeveloped, acts on whim, and never was educated or motivated by democratic principles.” www.americaamerica.news/p/hell-never...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia STILL has not been returned to the United States, as ordered by the Supreme Court.

In a setback, House Republicans failed Friday to push their big package of tax breaks and spending cuts through the Budget Committee, as a handful of conservatives joined all Democrats in a stunning vote against it. apnews.com/article/repu...

Apparently, posting this on social media will get you a visit from the DOJ, but posting classified military information on an unsecured phone to people outside the security clearance is no big deal.

Walmart joined a growing list of companies that have increased prices or warned that higher prices are coming due to tariffs. Microsoft said this month that it has increased the recommended retail prices of Xbox video game consoles and controllers. Trump says eat it. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/05/...

The Boss knows a real boss when he sees one.
