The wheels are coming off and the bandwagon is jumping ship. Trump is over, he just doesn’t know it yet.

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

I hope, eventually, one will emerge and set him/herself apart from the rest. People will notice and hang on every word they report, and the lemmings will follow.

It hurts to watch because we have nobody, not one person who will do this today. And, I honestly have to wonder, how many so-called journos, talking tv heads, celebrity anchors under 50 (and most are) have ever seen this or even know who Murrow was.

In a huge coincidence, a Bitcoin billionaire just-so-happened to put up massive leveraged bets against Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump posted about new tariffs on China, prompting a market crash.

$200m in profits instantly. $200m we know about, because they likely used many accounts.

Early Bitcoin Whale Shorted $1.1B Right Before Tariffs, Now Up $27M - How Did He Know?

Satoshi-era whale shorted $1.1B in BTC and ETH 30 minutes before Trump tariffs, banking $190M-$200M as liquidations hit $19.33B.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

High standard of living can never be free.

You end up paying more in a system of middle men who privatize everything and take a profit from every exchange.

Americans pay higher taxes than just about every country in the world- we just don’t pay them to our government- and we don’t get value for it

They would stop lying, and would answer questions, if it was the only way for them to get any airtime.

The JD Vance interviews show how broken the Sunday morning political show format has become. Such interviews are a purely performative exercise.

The second “No Kings” protest is set to take place nationwide on October 18, in opposition to Donald Trump and his administration.

Organizers anticipate over 10 million participants, which would make it one of the largest protests in American history.

Truth-

“President Vought got carried away with his idiotic plan to end all of the federal government.

Cooler heads prevailed. Even President Miller decided it was a bad idea. “

When Trump is gone, the country is going to eat this guy’s lunch. He might pass Trump’s second term for the worst presidential term ever. Total fail.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

Instead of moving to Portugal to live a better life, why aren’t we making life here in America as good as the living standard in Portugal?

Roughly 10 years ago, Kaitlin Wichmann’s life looked great on paper: The Kansas native had just graduated from college, was living in Los Angeles, had a full-time marketing job and enjoyed beautiful ocean views while working from her office in Santa Monica. But she wasn’t happy.

31-year-old moved from the U.S. to Portugal and only works 20 hours a week: 'I'm much happier in Lisbon'

Kaitlin Wichmann, 31, quit her life in LA to become a digital nomad in 2019. Now she's settled in Lisbon, Portugal, and hopes to stay for the long term.

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”
