PFC Gonsalves is one of 60 Medal of Honor recipients of Hispanic/Latino heritage from the Civil War to the present day. Trump and Hegseth may remove their names and photos from federal content, but nothing can ever erase their heroism and their contributions to the defense of this nation. /end

“The problem is that Americans thought it was ok to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of The United States and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.”

Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.

He seems to be hyper sexual this week. First with pawing at Prime Minister Meloni and the related comments, then talking about Karoline Leavett’s looks and lips, and now this overly sexual comment. So gross.
May be dementia related?

64% of Medicaid recipients are working, full and part time. The rest are nearly all either children, or mentally or physically disabled adults. Johnson knows this. He doesn’t want the American people to know it. At least they’ve backed off of the claim dems want “illegals” to get it. For now.

Just wondering, is it illegal to pay protesters? I mean, if Qatar can give the president a jet, and billionaires can pay millions each for a “ballroom,” wouldn’t paying protesters only be fair?

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
