Trump advisor Steve Witkoff was caught advising the Russians on how to pitch their Ukraine plans to Donald Trump in a leaked audio file. Once you realize Trump and his Administration work for Russia and not the United States, it all makes sense. www.forbes.com/sites/zachar...

Witkoff giving Russians tips on how to sweet-talk Trump before dropping their Ukraine pitch? That’s not ‘influence,’ that’s concierge service. Trump’s circle is so deep in Moscow’s pocket they’re finding lint and old receipts.

Tim Walz Allowed Minnesota to Become 'Capital of Chaos,' Former Vikings Star Says

Blaming Walz for a politically motivated assassination is like blaming a coach because a player snapped, not only unhinged, but exploitative. Brewer’s “emasculated leader” theater is just Fox News victim porn wrapped in NFL nostalgia. Folks are dead, and he’s touring the chaos carnival. Sickening.

Deploying Marines and Guard without notice? That’s not crowd control, it’s an authoritarian boot on democracy’s neck. LA’s protests? Mostly peaceful. A few flare-ups were seized to justify heavy militarization. The real message: dissent isn’t a safety risk, it’s a threat.

After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.”
