It’s getting worse… Let’s hope the No Kings event scheduled for Oct 18 2025 goes well without any provocation from ‘chaos agents’ who want to give the ’orange king’ an excuse to order the insurrection act and claim martial law like the wannabe ‘king’ tried in the Philippines 😎

No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Mike Johnson, as a self-proclaimed follower of Jesus (aka: a Christian) is a liar...

For Mike Johnson to continually claim he is a Christian, he sure hides true facts a lot; something known as 'lying'...

MAGA republicans continually lie to the American public; especially to all MAGA supporters about healthcare...

Correct… it’s the Viktor Orban playbook for tearing down democracy and replacing it with a dictatorship so America becomes a government not of, by, and for the people but just a DINO: Democracy In Name Only 🤔

It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

At USMMA:

“By restoring ‘Christ on the Water’ to its rightful place, we sent a clear message to our midshipmen: their Christian faith is a virtue to be proud of, not something to be censored.”

America is a SECULAR nation, Sean Duffy; you moron…

It’s 8pm here in the PNW & the government shuts down in an hour (EDT)…

MAGA republicans want to blame the democrat leadership for not negotiating in good faith, they (MAGA republicans) however, are more than willing to bailout Argentina…

The MAGA republicans don’t want to govern, they want to rule… MAGA republicans don’t want you to have healthcare but are willing to change (rebrand) the name of the dept of defense to the dept of war to the tune close to billions… www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Trump’s ‘Department of War’ could cost taxpayers over $1 billion
When asked how much the name change would cost, Trump said, ‘Not a lot’

Viktor Orban has been in dictatorially power since 2010... Considering what has transpired since 21 Jan 2025, if American voters choose not to return senate and house democrats to power in the 2026 midterms, kiss democracy, as we know, it goodbye... Read this 2024 article: ecfr.eu/publication/...
The Orbanisation of America: Hungary’s lessons for Donald Trump
If Trump wins the US presidency, Republicans will likely adapt techniques refined in Viktor Orban’s Hungary as they return to power – with profound implications for both America and Europe.

WTF…? Cosplaying hegseth wants all the top military leaders (and their staff!) to physically show up at Quantico VA (the USMC base) to listen to his lecture on grooming and warrior ethos…?😳

Hegseth’s mysterious meeting with generals will focus on grooming and warrior ethos
The event, which will draw top brass from around the world, will function as a pep rally of sorts.
