Newsmax host calls the Trump administration to pull the CDC director nomination because she supports mRNA vaccines: “Please pull that nomination. They are not safe. They are not effective. They are killing people to this day.”

The FBI never interviewed Epstein’s lawyer, his accountant, or the primary financier of his sex trafficking. Our investigation uncovered major gaps, and new allegations have come to light. Trump’s DOJ cannot bury this. It must reopen the investigation and follow every lead.

Trump delivers a rambling speech at Joint Base Andrews about accepting a jet from Qatar to complete and utter silence. You can't hear a single sound from the audience in this 90 second clip.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

The is not a new deal - this is Trump surrendering. For now. They have always said that the US & NATO is free to do what it wants in Greenland from a military perspective. Trump said that wasn’t good enough because he needs the US to “own” it. So this is simply Trump backing down

Trump visited golf clubs 88 times in 2025 costing tax payers $110,600,000. His net worth climbed by at least $3 billion in just 11 months. But don’t worry, he’s ‘donating’ his $400k salary.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it? Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean. He served for 37 years.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
