Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Trump labels people with labels that should be/will be applied to him. Usually his designations are outrageously untrue, but he does it to get ahead of the narrative and deflect reality so that when the word is used against him, it looks like copycat vindictiveness.

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

‘Trump and Musk are gaslighting the American people. No one should believe Musk and his troops have actually discovered billions of dollars of waste, fraud, abuse and ‘corruption’. If they had, we would know the specifics. They can’t provide them and they won’t.’

From 1:45-4:00 is the meat of the budget cuts proposed. Interesting that, after cuts, bc of tax cuts, the national debt is still going to increase if this budget is passed. Trump Party propaganda machine continues to say ‘we’re salt of the earth’ while numbers belie that claim.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

GenZ really needs to learn to use their phones. I am so frustrated with them not answering, and requiring minutes upon minutes of texting when a 30 second phone call would do the trick!

"It’s pretty clear that Trump is attempting to lay the predicate for broad deployment of U.S. military assets inside the United States and an unprecedented use of the military in domestic law enforcement. And once that box has been opened?"

The other day at the Marriott in NYC, I asked a couple of staff people if we could please change the tv channel from constant news. They both replied that no, management wants tvs on news at all times. Customers mean zilch, constant pounding of media blather required. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

I absolutely loved ‘A Man on the Inside’ Netflix series with Ted Danson. Gently intriguing mystery, compassionate and funny look at life in a senior home, and well-developed characters!

By 51-50, we now have a deeply compromised, unqualified, D-list Fox host running the US military at the command of a convicted felon who once hosted a reality show. Just as the Founders intended.

America has an imperial presidency www.economist.com/leaders/2025... from The Economist Worth a read about the McKinley references throughout the inauguration. Those who think this is a return to post-WWII US, this may open your eyes to his real aspirations. Rapists of all types of sovereignty.
