Trump continues his crusade of nominating incompetent sycophants to key positions that impact all Americans.

His pick for the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, E.J. Antoni, is “utterly unqualified” but kissing Trump’s derriere is the only requirement these days.

Trump’s fight against the Houthis never dealt a crippling blow, but it has cost America more than $1 billion since March, including the thousands of bombs and missiles used in strikes, along with seven drones shot down and two fighter jets that sank.

Trump operation against Houthis cost more than $1 billion
President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between the U.S. and the militant group, but there are still real questions about what the expensive strikes achieved.

A pardoned J6er, Matthew W. Huttle, 42, of Hobart, Indiana, was shot and killed in Jasper County during a traffic stop yesterday.

This happened after an "altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect."

He orchestrated a coup. It failed.

He was a convicted felon.

He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric.

He promised to make things great again.

He threatened to annex his neighbors.

I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

Glad Liz got the Presidential Citizens Medal.

Sad it was for doing her duty - putting the American people over party.

Maybe one day we'll get back to such acts of patriotism not being so rare.
President Biden just awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal “for putting the American people over party.”🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ever notice when you go to check out for tickets to a Vikings game or a Taylor Swift concert, the price you pay is so much higher than advertised?

Mysterious fees from online sellers continue to make tickets more expensive.
 
Starting January 1, we’re banning those junk fees.

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm.

From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here.

If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances.

Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."
What’s amazing about Musk claiming the reason he’s in America is the H1B visa is that it isn’t true. According to story below, he came here on a student visa, worked illegally and then got an H1B. He should release his immigration records to clear this up.
