There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Senate Republicans just voted to send ICE $72 BILLION without any reforms. Now ICE is hiding data on the condition of their detention facilities, their treatment of detainees, and the deaths that have resulted. Republicans chose to bankroll this cruelty and lack of transparency.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision to bring six of his children on an official trip to France is putting added strain on his personal protective detail amid heightened threats stemming from the Iran war.

So paying poor people to have healthcare and poor children to have food at school is fraud and abuse, but paying Donald Trump to paint a perfectly fine reflecting pool for $13 million and build a tacky $1 billion ballroom isn't fraud and abuse? What messed-up priorities this country has!

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

This administration is always coming up with ways to drain our nation's treasury. If it's not starting wars, encouraging bogus discrimination claims by white men, giving former Trump advisors >$1M because Donald is still mad at the Biden's FBI, it's Trump making a spurious $10B claim vs. the IRS.

A worker died in a Amazon warehouse in Oregon. For more than an hour the workers in the facility were ordered to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker tried to help, but a manager told him “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work.“ EVIL.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.
The marches had no shortage of skeptics.
In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king.
"He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said.
"And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president."
He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr.
Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.olemiss.collegerepublicans • Follow The University of Mississippi - Ole Miss
