This is a fairly obvious slap down to Mike Huckabee’s idiotic social media freelancing yesterday, from someone a considerably closer to the White House.

Not sure there’s too much more to read into it than that, though it maybe starts to put Number 10 on the hook for Blair…

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

Monopoly and totalitarianism go hand in hand.

The only way to stop the growing censorship of Trump's critics is to fight the consolidation of media outlets into the hands of a few families that do not care about the best interests of the country.

BURNS: Politico. Dasha Burns, sir

TRUMP: Dasha, Politico, ugh. Politico has gone bad. They've been so wrong about everything. Let's get somebody else to ask some questions. You mind? Politico is fake news.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.
