The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was their final, most essential command.
And if all others accepted the lie, if all records told the same tale,
then the lie passed into history and became truth.

JD Vance indicated in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that Felon57 was not opposed to invoking the Insurrection Act.

Republicans have tried to pin the blame for the shutdown on Democrats, sending automatic out-of-office email replies that blame Democrats for the shutdown, in violation of the Hatch Act that prohibits using government resources for partisan purposes.

The very idea of a tiny Arab nation like Qatar having an an air force base in the United States seems absurd.

Qatar has spent $100 billion buying influence in the U.S., and it’s paying off. It is nonsense that a deal letting Qatar, Hamas’s #1 financier, open a Qatari facility on U.S. soil.

And don’t forget all of the government layoffs and more tariff shenanigans.

Joe Biden has begun receiving radiation treatment for the "aggressive" form of prostate cancer he was diagnosed with in May.

Doctors had found a "small nodule" on the 82-year-old’s prostate during a routine exam that his office said had spread to the bone.

Very bad news for a very good man.

At a time when Trump has all but declared war on the “enemy within” America, and is busy kicking immigrants out of the nation and isolating America from the rest of the world — what does the Trump family get out of its deal to give Qatar its own facility inside the nation?

Now the administration has posted a video at airport Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lines featuring Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem saying that operations are impacted because “Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government.”

In the real working world, they’d all be fired. Instead, they’re not only still “collecting checks”, they’re trying to deny payment to furloughed federal workers.

Trump loses his shameless bid for the Nobel Peace Prize. Instead, it went to someone who actually earned it — Venezuela’s Maria Corina Machado, a fearless defender of democracy.
