Mike Lindell is asked to explain why he has spent over half of the $350,000 in campaign contributions he’s taken in buying copies of his own book. He says he hands them out instead of fliers and “we got them for a good price.”

Apparently “America First” means promising foreign countries financial assistance from US taxpayers but only if they vote for the incumbent president trailing in the polls.

lol "you could get whatever the dust is down there..."

stirring words from the commander in chief
Q: You said the Iranian nuclear sites have been 'totally obliterated.' What's left to go after?

TRUMP: You could get whatever the dust is down there. If we do it, that's really the least of we mission. But we'd probably grab whatever is left.

This is Bob Coveiro. He sat by his human's grave for 10 years until his own death in 2021. Pets were not permitted to be buried with humans, but he was given an exception. Now 5 years later, inspired by his loyalty, Brazil passed the Bob Coveiro Law allowing pets to be buried in family graves. 14/10

Happy Presidents’ Day to the last real president we had. Americans now see he delivered a strong economy, low unemployment, major infrastructure investment, the CHIPS Act, & the 1st Black woman on the SC. He was treated shamefully—his only “crime” was aging. I hope we learn from how good we had it.

Alexei Navalny loved Russia and opposed Putin. Patriotism and dissent are not contradictions. Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent about its leaders. No one should be murdered for speaking out.
