I called Trump’s deal with Putin “a deepening betrayal” on Monday. Now it’s clear he’s a despicable traitor with blood on his hands as Ukraine’s civilian deaths mount—and who’s making all of us less safe. www.americaamerica.news/p/another-be...

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

🚨 Inflation is RED HOT. Wholesale prices surged 1.3% in a single month, more than DOUBLE the 0.6% economists expected. Annual wholesale inflation hit 6.3%, raising fears of even higher prices for Americans ahead.

We know the Media is part of the Pedo Reich but if Democrats legitimately did this every time they are in front of a microphone or camera it would force the issue and demand coverage. You see how weak the GOP are in the rare times they are truly questioned.

"Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi always said that the only way for Democrats to win elections was to focus on the proverbial “kitchen table issues.” As the leader of the caucus for 20 years, she had quite a track record, presiding over quite a few big wins and many small ones . . ."

For Trump to maintain his fantasy of being infinitely powerful and universally loved and admired, he needs to surround himself with people who believe it, or at least play along. Plus they need to be straight out of central casting Fox "News" style blondes.
