Alford’s district is one of the 3 districts Mo Governor Kehoe carved up at Trump’s behest. They may yet live to regret that choice.

Yes, yes they do. They are imbued with a level of magical thinking that is so far off the charts as to be immeasurable. They think their gated communities will protect them from diseases & that the air over their compounds will somehow be breathable while the rest of us expire.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

I mean, who leaves wet rags on hardwood, especially on a banister? Who does not know that that’s a huge problem?

Russel Vought’s neighbors don’t like him either www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent."
The people living near Trump's "grim reaper" of government cuts have put up signs letting him know they stand with federal workers.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Blue Sky I need your help, the painters who came to my house put a wet rag on the 135-year-old banister in my home below is the damage they've done. I have no idea what to do about this. Are there any woodworkers out there who could give me some advice? I'd really appreciate this!

this is an absolutely insane news conference for the Attorney General of the United States to be participating in.

(note how Benny Johnson describes the Annunciation shooting as an act of political violence, which is a lie)

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China
It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations. Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software. It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 838 ReTruths 2.53k Likes
