Hey Pete, how do you feel about an out of shape rich kid who used his daddy’s friends to get out of the draft posting pictures of himself desecrating the uniform of those who did serve? Any thoughts? Or are you gonna need another shot of testosterone for that?

One easy way to tell they're not actually "the most transparent administration in history" is that this is the first time in five decades that the president and vice president didn't have their taxes audited and released to the public.

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania of not cooperating with the CDC in its handling of a measles outbreak.

Trump wasn’t a successful businessman in New York - it’s why no bank wanted to loan home $$ way back when he began his professional life with his dad, denying black people from renting in their buildings. Then, The Apprentice came to life and “created” his successful story. What a grift.
