Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

More guns than people…

Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

If the Ryder Cup shows us anything, it’s that the problem with America isn’t Trump. It’s Americans.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

So not surprising that the people who fetishize assault rifles kill more Americans than those who don't.

“The trend in recent years has been for the great majority of extremist-related murders to be connected to some form of right-wing extremism. That is also true for 2024: for the third year in a row, all the murders identified were tied to right-wing extremism.”

Brian Kilmeade and Fox wants Genocide of homeless human beings: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."

Kilmeade is trying to normalize Genocide. There's absolutely no other way to frame this: "The Final Solution" – different group, different decade, same thing.

PSA: Please reschedule any fishing charters and remain inland for the next 24-48 hours.

The President is embroiled in another sex scandal and will be looking for something to bomb.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Some parts of society have always tried to downplay diseases. History has almost always proven them wrong.
DON’T PANIC OVER POLIO AUGUST 1 1948 CHARLES NEVILLE DON’T PANIC OVER POLIO CHARLES NEVILLE THOUSANDS of parents this month will lose weight, sleep and peace of mind worrying about a disease which kills far fewer Canadian children each year than the common whooping cough. Poliomyelitis, the mysterious childhood crippler which more frequently maims than it kills, reaches its seasonal peak during the hot, humid days of midand late summer. It is then that a doctor, called to the bedside of a feverish sickly child who complains of stiff muscles, is most likely to shake his head and pronounce the words a parent dreads: infantile paralysis.

The CDC doesn't understand disease control.
The EPA doesn't understand environmental protection.
Now it's clear the Dept of Energy doesn't understand energy.

This administration is populated by imbeciles.
