Trump is warning of a "final battle" against Democrats, who he calls "communists, Marxists, and fascists". He is using OUR taxpayer dollars to fund these ads calling us Democrats "the enemy". This is illegal and unconstitutional, like everything else he does. www.cnn.com/2026/09/27/p...

The Trump administration is set to launch another overtly political campaign ad funded by taxpayer dollars, attacking the “fake news media” and “the sick political class that hates our country.”

Been crunching numbers for 2028. To win, Dems need a candidate that activates voters in counties with <690pp/sq.mi. Harris hit about 767. Or they can increase D turnout. What won't work is relying on cities to overpower suburbs, making a very rough path for urban progressive/DSA types.

At the UN, Trump says the US government is changing the name of “artificial intelligence” to “super intelligence” in all documents and records, in a bid to change it globally. “Whoever wins superintelligence, ‘SI’, will win. That’s the group that will win.”
