People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The Missouri Constitution gives voters the right to hold a so-called citizen’s veto referendum to block legislation passed by state lawmakers. Voters led by People Not Politicians decided to use that mechanism to fight back against the gerrymander.

The Trump team knows the economy is going badly. Thats why he’s on the road and why they’ve stopped releasing jobs, GDP, and inflation numbers.

Good luck blaming Biden for an economy of the GOP’s creation with 70% of Americans saying their costs are up.

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

Corruption on display.

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy.

This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.
