Hey MAGA Christians, school shootings have nothing to do with a lack of prayer in public schools. I’ve studied the Bible extensively and served as a pastor for nearly three decades. Trust me: there is no prayer that will suddenly make children bulletproof. Cut the BS—it’s the guns.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

To cut ‘waste and fraud,’ reform Medicare Advantage Republicans in Congress have made…noise about eliminating “waste and fraud” in federal health-care spending. If they were serious about this goal, they would start by overhauling something they have championed: Medicare Advantage.

Elon Musk has cut somewhere between 0% and 3% of what he promised—and most of what was cut was not waste or fraud or abuse, but simply expenditures Mr. Musk did not personally favor for partisan reasons. DOGE is the biggest program failure in the history of American government.

U.S. immigration detention is a profit-driven enterprise. Private corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic receive billions in federal contracts, earning daily revenue per detainee. The more migrants detained, the greater the profit—turning human suffering into a business model.

Bring this to Judge Boasberg's attention before he rules on criminal contempt. And to Judge Xinis's attention so she can decide to rule on criminal contempt in response to the DOJ lies to her about the status of Abrego Garcia. And to SCOTUS. Paying to have him kept is not "facilitating" his return.

Judge Boasberg’s opinion in JGG v. Trump (4/16/25) is a masterpiece of judicial reasoning. He explains exactly why our legal system couldn’t survive tolerating willful defiance of clear judicial orders — even if those orders are ultimately overturned on appeal. The Supreme Court will have to agree.
