This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

While we all watch the absolute decimation of trillions of dollars in 401K holdings, just remember this. 75M of you voted for this. For those who sat this one out or voted for the orange fat fuck because they didn't like a black woman who liked to smile, I have a simple message. Fuck you.

If 40% of DOGE’s canceled contracts won’t save a dime, what’s Musk really up to?
Sabotage. He’s gutting agencies that enforce environmental rules, worker protections, and media oversight—things he & Trump want gone. Less regulation means more room for misdeeds—we’re the ones who will pay the price.

The NYT, once again, provides free PR for this administration by reprinting their racist/fascist talking points -- rather than engaging in real journalism.
This is why we must defend #FreedomtoLearn in K-12 so young people can read critically, spot the propaganda, & seek out independent media.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

They stood in the mass graves. They saw the bombed hospitals. They shook Zelensky’s hand. Now, they cower before bots and Musk’s wrath. Mean tweets over war crimes. Lies over truth. This is how the world burns. Two plus two equals four. The blood will be on their hands.

It's too idiotic to even be ironic... but the massive amount of waste (not to mention suffering) that these guys are causing is beyond despicable.

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever.
USAID was audited three months ago.
Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?
