like everything else they lie about what they call masculinity is the opposite: a mewling rude thin-skinned insecurity. As Dylan sang long ago: “Limited in sex, they dare To push fake morals, insult and stare While money doesn't talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony”

In a single Oval Office session, Trump claimed two things that turned out to be fiction within hours

The Trump administration, the judges found, had attempted to circumvent the separation of powers and senatorial advise and consent by installing Habba and seeking to keep her in the position after the time period allowed to temporary appointees expired.

The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every day—mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. trib.al/OE9x1mf

Jeffrey Epstein’s entity (LSJE LLC) purchased six 55 gallon drums of sulfuric acid (330 gallons total) for Little St. James, around the same time federal investigations were intensifying in 2018‼️ The purchase caused speculation regarding the potential destruction of evidence‼️

We just learned GDP growth was a pathetic annualized 1.4% in Q4 2025. This is a disaster. Remember that Trump, Bessent and the other who’s who of clowns have been saying 5, 6, and even 8% GDP growth is coming.

This is transparency?? "Yet of the roughly 4,000 arrests made since the beginning of Operation Metro Surge last December, Homan could not say how many were targeted arrests of people deemed a safety threat."

US House in bipartisan vote defies Trump, agrees to end his tariffs on Canada ...several House Republicans joined Democrats in passing a resolution to terminate the president’s national emergency at the northern border that triggered tariffs on Canada just over one year ago.

In the first days of President Trump’s second term, he unlawfully fired 17 inspectors general en masse. Since then, 10 more IGs were fired or resigned and the OMB cut off and later constrained funding for the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency.

The problem is: There is no accountability from ICE. Where are the arrest and deportation statistics? I have not seen any, have you? And who is in charge of collecting and distributing accurate statistics ??? www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

Even Thomas Massie is calling for Pedo Lutnick to resign over Epstein ties. When a libertarian Republican says “this is too dirty,” you know it’s bad. The Epstein stench follows Trump’s cabinet everywhere. Accountability isn’t partisan. Silence is complicity. 🔥 thehill.com/homenews/hou...

The Super Bowl didn’t become political because Bad Bunny performed in Spanish. It became political because MAGA insists that Americanness has a race, a language, and an expiration date. -Dean Blundell deanblundell.substack.com/p/video-bad-...
