When I do a google search "10.7 Million golf" I see the recent stories about Trump white house spending 10.7 million dollars on golf already in 2025. When I search "10.7 Million golf" in Google news only old stories from last year come up.

A story in two parts! Trump denouncing Ukraine & Zelensky, now. Here's the transcript of Trump congratulating President Zelensky on his election victories... and then attempting to extort him. If you want to understand the rationale behind the hate of Ukraine, its because Trump was caught criming.

I am constantly amused at Musk’s myopia, narcissism, and thin-skinned self pity. Dude bought the public square to acquire sycophants to stroke his ego & need to be accepted. He has 218M followers to validate him & target at those truly defenseless citizens without the means of defending themselves.

This import tariff scheme is a middle & working class tax hike to what, fund a tax cut for the ultra wealthy? The importers pay tariffs to the government, but the costs are paid by consumers. So where do the billions in collected tariffs go? Are they to be distributed to corporations & billionaires?

Remember, it’s okay for radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers. But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber. NO NO NO NOT FAIR! 😠 😭
