Trump takes credit for things he had nothing to do with. Now he's claiming, "I'm the one that developed 'America First'" and says the term wasn't used "until I came along." That will surprise the American First movement of the 30s & 40s. His ignorance is astounding.

In toxic Texas Democrats planning to attend anti-Trump rallies were the target of "credible threats" on their lives. One individual has been arrested regarding it.

Minnesota Assassin Vance Boelter appears to have been a far Right, ordained evangelical who was out to kill Democrats and workers at abortion facilities. He was a fan of the hateful "Alliance Defending Freedom" as well.

Evangelical nutter breaks out in song celebrating escalation of war in the Middle East. Most evangelicals believe the world must be plunged into hate and war to hasten the "Second Coming of Jesus" to establish theocracy here. They want destruction quite literally.

The assassination in Minnesota is horrific and everything points to a far right murder. Two Democratic representatives and their spouses were all shot and two victims are dead. I would assume a 95% chance the killer was a Right-wing cultist.

In fascist Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke about the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in 2016 that killed 49. He managed to talk about it without ever mention it was a gay club with a mainly Hispanic clientele.

Evangelical Baptist Joshua Dice, was arrested for seeking underage children for sex online. He held positions at Calvary Baptist Church and Calvary Christian Academy—one of those save the children schools. Dice is the second teacher from the school arrested for underage sex.

Be prepared, this song should be heard by every American, especially the Orange Monster in DC. It is spot on and emotionally wrenching. Don't just listen to it—share it.

In Soviet style Education Secretary McMahon says universities should "be able to do research" but only if it's "in sync" with "the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish." In GOPland you have freedom to obey orders!

Dame Ditzy of Dingbat, Marjorie Taylor Greene didn't like Senator Padilla daring to try to ask Nazi Noem a question. Greene says Padilla "should be charged. He should be prosecuted." At least this isn't her anti-Semitic rant about space lasers. But still pretty fascist.

Nazi Noem's thugs assaulted Senator Padilla and she says the incident is "inappropriate". But by incident she means Padilla trying to ask her a question not the assault. Like a good Republican she blamed the victim. She lies and says Padilla didn't identify himself but video proves otherwise.

Adolph Trump just said, "We have 500,000 Chinese students coming in. I've always been in favor of it." LIAR Just days ago he ordered the revocation of visas for Chinese students. www.scmp.com/news/china/d...

"It says something about our country that people around the world are willing to leave their homes and leave their families and risk everything to come to America. Their talent and hard work and love of freedom have helped make America the leader of the world." 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐖. 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐡 • 𝟏𝟗𝟒𝟔-

Nazi Noem and thugs attacked Senator Padilla as he stood up at a news conference and identified himself and said he wanted to ask a question. He was attacked and pulled out of the room and thrown to the floor. Noem then went on Fox to lie and claim it was Padilla's fault for not identifying himself.

"Our attitude towards immigration reflects our faith in the American ideal. We have always believed it possible for men and women who start at the bottom to rise as far as the talent and energy allow. Neither race nor place of birth should affect their chances."

Trump troops are being used, not for legitimate purposes, but for the Führer to play politics and pretend he's the savior. Many of them are very unhappy about it. My guess is many will not reenlist because of it.

Now the Southern Baptists, ignoring their own multitudes of sex scandals, demand that all levels of government institute authoritarian censorship banning anything this cult run by prudes and perverts—often the same people—finds obscene.

People in nations once considered strong friends to the U.S. have no confidence in the Trump regime to do the right thing. With good reason!!! Here are some results from a Pew poll.

Gov. Newsom delivered a speech on the threat to freedom from Trump. In my opinion it is one of the most libertarian speeches by a major politician in my extensive life time. Here you can read it or watch it as delivered on a video. It is worth reading. medium.com/the-radical-...

"If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there." 𝐆𝐨𝐯. 𝐆𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐦 • 𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟕-

In Pennsylvania a 27-year-old bigot set a Pride flag on fire at a church and also vandalized Pride decorations at two businesses while shouting slurs only Repubicans would love.

The Department of Interior on orders of the Führer is working to remove any references to history that are negative about the country whether true or not. Only Trump's fantasies are allowed, no actual history.

Trump falsely accused Biden of withholding disaster aid for storm victims in NC and GA. Now Trump is ending all disaster aid. He said Biden's imaginary act was bad but its brilliant when Trump does it.

Trump is destroying the famous White House Rose Garden and paving it over, claiming people get "stuck" in the grass. He wants it designed like Mar-a-Lago and your paying for it. Big Spender Don at work.

In toxic Texas the authoritarian Gov. Abbott—Republican of course—is deploying National Guard troops against anti-ICE protests that haven't even started yet. The GOP is doing more than waging war on immigrant workers, they are waging war on freedom itself.

After saying Naval ships may not be named for historical figures who just all were Hispanic, Black or gay, the Trump Reich is naming US forts after figures who fought to defend slavery. No white supremacy here! ==

Not even Republicans support Trump's military parade to celebrate his birthday cost taxpayer millions. The price of a pathological Narcissist is military parades Stalin would love.

The Southern Baptist hate cult is proving they are holy by demanding gay couples be stripped of rights. But when it comes to their own pastors molesting and raping they tried to cover it up and did for years. This is to divert attention from their own crimes.

The Southern Baptist hate cult wants gay couples stripped of marriage rights. This proves they are holy now ignore all their preachers in the hundreds, molesting kids or fondling women.

“The military is a machine of war. Not a law enforcement agency.” 𝐑𝐞𝐩. 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 • 𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟒—

The loving evangelical Mike Johnson says Gavin Newsom "ought to be tarred and feathered" for defending Constitutional government against Trump's authoritarianism. Johnson is a coward who can't stand up to Trump.

"Hey Big Spender" Donald the Budget Buster is not just wasting some $40m to on a Stalin-parade for his birthday but is spending $134m to use the military illegally on civilians. Fascism isn't cheap! He destroyed the budget the 1st time and plans to outdo himself in destroying the economy.

Fox reports massive job losses and employers are citing the Trump/Musk DOGE as the reason.

Trump's incompetency means the protests in LA grew, but in addition to that, he inspired other protests around the country, even if that was not his intention. Now 700 Marines arrived to wage an illegal war on our population.

Gov. Newsom accurately calls out Trump as both authoritarian and mentally "unhinged." Trump is not competent to hold office. Of course the one group more unhinged and authoritarian is the GOP.

Trump made the protests worse but is now claiming he saved the city from burning down. He's out of touch with reality and has severe mental issues. He's not "slow" he's crazy.

The World Bank estimates global economic growth will decline thanks to Trump's war on free markets. While the US will be hit hard the rest of the world will not be spared by the downturn. They estimate growth to be cut in half.
