When America transforms neighbors into adversaries, the shame many citizens feel isn't unpatriotic it's the clearest expression of genuine patriotism. Those most trapped by their country's actions often love most deeply what it could be, while grieving what it has become.
Trump has a long, well-documented pattern he saves his ugliest attacks for women. Female reporters ask a factual question and he calls them “stupid,” “nasty,” “piggy,” or worse. He sneers he belittles, he tries to humiliate. But the part that haunts me isn’t his cruelty it’s the silence in the room

Confused why Trump's suddenly obsessed with invading Venezuela? If Venezuela defaults on debt, Russia gets to claim Citgoa major U.S. oil company. Trump's destabilizing the country that owes Russia billions. Chaos serves Moscow. It always has with him.

New York Magazine: Noem and Lewandowski's relationship is "widely understood" in Trump circles. One official: "worst-kept secret in D.C." Trump himself called her Lewandowski's "girlfriend." The affair isn't the scandal it's that Trump made her DHS Secretary anyway, knowing she'd give him power.
November 28, 2025 at 2:50 PM
Noem campaigns on "God and family values" while conducting what Trump officials call an open affair with Lewandowski. Trump knows he joked about it, calling her Lewandowski's "girlfriend." Now taxpayers fund their operation: $220M in contracts to firms tied to both of them.
November 28, 2025 at 2:49 PM
Trump officials call it the "worst-kept secret in D.C.": Noem and Lewandowski's affair. Trump himself called her Lewandowski's "girlfriend." He saw advisors witness Lewandowski slap her butt. Now she gave him $220M in no-bid contracts at DHS. Corruption hiding behind an open secret.
November 28, 2025 at 2:47 PM
If Venezuela defaults, Russia can legally seize nearly half of a major U.S. oil company Citgo. Trump's cabinet sat on the committee that could block it. His advisors lobbied for the players involved. This isn't conspiracy theory. It's documented history repeating itself.

Follow below: Russia has strategic interest in Venezuelan oil. Rosneft loaned PDVSA $1.5 billion in exchange for a 49.9% claim on Citgo If Venezuela defaults, Putin could legally gain partial ownership of U.S. energy infrastructure. This was documented by CBS News, Reuters, FT, and U.S. Treasury.

2017: Lewandowski lobbied for Russian oil interests in Venezuela. Tried to kill the Russia probe. Now he's back at DHS stealing $220M while Trump threatens war with Venezuela destabilizing the same country Russia wanted to control. The operation never ended. It just evolved.
November 28, 2025 at 1:17 PM
They're not even hiding it anymore. Lewandowski lobbied for Putin's oil interests, tried to obstruct the Russia investigation, and now he's Noem's shadow secretary funneling $220M in no-bid contracts. Meanwhile Epstein's victims are exposed while Trump's name gets redacted.
November 28, 2025 at 1:14 PM
In 2017, Lewandowski's firm lobbied for Citgo which owed money to Rosneft, run by Putin's right-hand man Sechin. Trump's Secretary of State Tillerson? Sechin's close friend who got Putin's "Order of Friendship." Now Lewandowski's back, funneling $220M at DHS. The circle's complete.
November 28, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Lewandowski lobbied for Citgo owned by Venezuela, controlled by Russian oil interests. Tried to kill Mueller's Russia probe for Trump. Faced sexual assault charges. Now he's Noem's unelected "shadow secretary," funneling $220M to friends. The swamp doesn't drain; it just gets deeper.
November 28, 2025 at 1:11 PM
Noem invoked a border "emergency" to skip competitive bidding, then funneled $220M in taxpayer funds to a firm tied to her spokesperson's husband and her rumored affair partner Corey Lewandowski. Trump officials call it an "open secret." The rest of us call it theft.
November 28, 2025 at 12:55 PM
DHS spent $220M on ads starring Noem in cowgirl costume bypassing bidding rules to funnel taxpayer money to a firm run by her spokesperson's husband and her alleged lover's business partner Corey Lewandowsky. The "worst-kept secret in D.C." just cost you a fortune. Corruption in chaps.

The FBI spent a million dollars redacting powerful men's names from the Epstein files. The victims? Twenty-eight names in one document alone unredacted, exposed, hunted down by reporters in front of their children. Privacy, it seems, is reserved for those who can afford to return the favor.
November 28, 2025 at 12:23 PM
The attorneys representing victims stated they believe the DOJ either "does not know the identities of all the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and thus cannot apply proper redactions," or "is intentionally failing to protect victims from public exposure".
November 28, 2025 at 12:19 PM
This is the shocking part. When the House Oversight Committee released documents in November, attorneys for victims reported that one document alone contained 28 unredacted victim names, including some who were minors at the time of abuse.
November 28, 2025 at 12:18 PM
FBI Director Kash Patel tasked nearly 1,000 agents to work on what was internally called the "Special Redaction Project," with agents instructed to flag every mention of Donald Trump.
November 28, 2025 at 12:17 PM
FBI FOIA team redacted Trump's name along with the names of other prominent public figures from the Epstein documents before the DOJ concluded that "no further disclosure" would be appropriate. The redactions were applied because he was considered a private citizen when the investigation began
November 28, 2025 at 12:15 PM
Victims cooperated with promises of anonymity. Trump's administration:
Scrubbed his connections Made files disappear. Then exposed victims anyway
This sends a message: "Cooperate with investigations into powerful men, we'll expose you and protect them."
November 28, 2025 at 12:09 PM
House Oversight exposed 28 Epstein victims after promising redaction causing "widespread panic." Same release where Trump's name was scrubbed by FBI, 100+ pages disappeared. Pattern is clear: protect the predator, traumatize the victims. This wasn't incompetence; it was retaliation.
November 28, 2025 at 12:07 PM
Trump's DOJ released Epstein files with 28 victim names unredacted after promising anonymity. Victims in "widespread panic" over exposure. Meanwhile, 100+ pages vanished from files, Trump's name scrubbed by 1,000 FBI agents. They protected him, exposed his victims. Intentional cruelty.
November 28, 2025 at 12:05 PM
Kash Patel deployed FBI SWAT teams trained for hostage rescue to guard his girlfriend at an NRA convention, then raged when they left after securing the venue. Uses taxpayer-funded agents as personal security while refusing protection for Democrats facing death threats. Peak corruption.

To the families of the two Guardsmen shot yesterday: I'm a veteran. I'm so sorry. Your children believed in service, took the oath seriously, and became wounded through violence and ignorance. They deserve better and I'm wishing for a fast recovery. They deserve respect.
