Another Russian asset within the White House. I would go so far as to call him a Russian agent because clearly he puts Russia first.
EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Not wearing heels, stockings and a dress to fly. Really hard to wear a kneeboard and messes with the rudder.
A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

Cryptocurrency just facilitates murder, rape, trafficking and thievery. "Corruption" hardly covers the breadth of worldwide misery these interconnected people have caused. Destroying cryptocurrency would be a good start in reversing the march of evil.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

Humming Bastille Day again for no reason.
Kristi Noem and Kash Patel were out last night enjoying the Las Vegas F1 race at taxpayers’ expense. This is exactly the kind of fraud, waste, and abuse that deserves a full investigation.

Humming Bastille Day again for no reason.
It’s deliberate and systematic.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
