The taste of power, fear of change, and - as much as you don't want to hear it - a Democratic Party steered in public too much by college-educated activists who cannot accept that America is a center-right country, which made winning easier than it should have been for the GOP.

Trump reversed decades of national security objections to selling advanced AI chips to UAE. National security experts were alarmed. But there was a secret. Before the deal, UAE had sent $187M to the Trumps and $31M to the Witkoffs in secret payments. Mind blowing corruption.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
