The so-called president of the United States is a massive money launderer and cut off by the bank that discovered it. Yet the story barely registers with the legacy media. What a disgrace.

Dollars are made of our permission and destroyed by taxation. I think it hits harder: We give permission to kill Palestinians. Our permission is propping up OpenAI. We do not give permission for poor kids to eat at school. We do not give permission for the poor sick to live. None of this competes.

Apparently, OpenAI is trying to pitch Trump on the US government buying a 5% stake in openAI?!? Saying it differently, OpenAI is soliciting the government for a f*cking taxpayer funded bailout?!?

In yet ANOTHER decision by a judge trying to unstick Alex Jones' abuse of the legal process to prevent us from paying the Sandy Hook families, Texas judge Maya Gamble said Alex Jones has conducted "outrageous discovery abuse, tampering with evidence, and continuous, callous disrespect" for the law.
Even if the Court were to consider the expert affidavit and testimony offered
by FSS as prima facie evidence of FSS's net worth, the Court finds that it cannot treat such
evidence offered by FSS as credible in light of its past behavior documented in numerous
orders of this Court, including outrageous discovery abuse, tampering with evidence, and
continuous and callous disrespect for the integrity of these proceedings. This behavior has
included discovery abuse with respect to evidence of net worth, and as such, the Court has
no faith in the veracity of evidence offered by FSS as to its own net worth.

America needs to pass a law mandating voting. Other Democratic countries do it. It should be REQUIRED for every person to place a vote as their civic duty. Too many people check out of politics, because they think it doesn't affect them. Making people vote would make them be involved.
