  • Can we afford a lier at the FBI?

    Last year, Kath Patel , Trump’s FBI pick, decided to grace the world with his memoir, where he boldly declared himself as the key player in the investigation of the 2012 attack on a diplomatic compound in Benghazi. However, a recent report has revealed that his claims were nothing more than a work of fiction.

    The New York Times took it upon themselves to delve into Patels Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy, where Patel shamelessly portrayed himself as the mastermind behind the investigation. To add insult to injury, he even had the audacity to repeat these claims on a podcast in September, titled “The Shawn Ryan Show.”

    Oh, Kath Patel, the hero we never knew we needed. Thank you for gracing us with your tall tales and delusions of grandeur. Your creativity truly knows no bounds.

  • He did lie and they Bought it!

    It is abundantly clear now that Trump deceived the American public in order to secure his election, with just enough support to narrowly win. Let’s not mince words – a slim majority compromised their values for the allure of lower egg prices and a full gas tank.

    Seems like you can indeed pull the wool over everyone’s eyes, as Trump managed to do. Despite Covid no longer being a concern and the Biden Administration orchestrating the most successful economic recovery in history, many individuals fell for a blatant falsehood.

    And now, Trump finally confesses that he is incapable of delivering on his promises.

    Congratulations, you’re stuck with him for the next four years! Enjoy.

  • His decisions will have a direct impact on your health – RFK JR.

    The individual nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services should possess the necessary management and professional experience to effectively oversee one of the largest health agencies in the world. Their decisions will have a direct impact on the health of every American.

    Unfortunately, the current nominee chosen by President-elect Trump lacks these essential qualities. In fact, 77 Nobel Prize Winners have publicly opposed the appointment of RFK Jr.

    It is imperative that politics be set aside in this matter, as the primary focus should be on selecting a leader who prioritizes the health and well-being of the American people to effectively lead this agency.

  • I told you so … vote for Trump, vote for TARIFFS

    I hate to say “I told you so,” but… actually, no I don’t. It’s pretty satisfying to be right. Trump has decided to slap tariffs on several countries, which will ultimately be passed on to consumers.

    For those of you who believed that inflation would magically disappear and voted for him in hopes of cheaper eggs, well, surprise! You’ve been deceived, or let’s call it what it is – lied to.

    But hey, don’t take my word for it. Check out this story for some cold, hard facts. Enjoy!

  • Tulsi Gabbard -will she really for us – the (US) ?

    The controversial 2017 meeting between former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, as well as her previous statements regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have come under renewed scrutiny following President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of her to lead America’s intelligence agencies.

    If confirmed as the US Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Gabbard would be entrusted with safeguarding the nation’s most critical secrets, overseeing 18 US intelligence agencies, and serving as a key advisor to the President.

    Can we truly risk the security of America by entrusting it to someone with such a vague stance on their allegiance to our country? It is imperative that we have unwavering loyalty and commitment to America in order to protect and defend our nation. Let us not gamble with the safety and well-being of our citizens by allowing uncertainty to cloud our judgment. The stakes are too high to ignore the importance of absolute dedication to our country.

  • Republicans and Musk are coming for your Social Security

    One thing that 80% of Americans can actually agree on is that Social Security benefits should not be slashed. However, Elon Musk is out here proposing to chop $2 trillion from the federal budget, which is a whopping 30% of spending. With Social Security being the big kahuna in the budget, it’s not looking too good for our retirement funds.

    Musk is all about sacrifices, not his, yours, claiming that everyone will have to tighten their belts under his reign. While Trump may not directly hack away at Social Security, or he might, his other schemes could indirectly lead to some snips here and there.

    The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy spilled the tea earlier this year, revealing that undocumented immigrants have actually been contributing $25 billion in Social Security taxes. So, if mass deportations go down, we could be saying goodbye to some serious cash flow. And according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, deportations, tariffs, and even Trump’s wild idea to nix income taxes on Social Security benefits could all spell trouble for the program’s finances. Looks like we might be facing a shortfall by 2031.

    By that time, Trump will be long gone, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Republicans will still be eyeing those scissors. And who knows, they just might get their way.

  • Pardons

    It is important to consider the implications of the incoming Trump administration’s statements regarding their intentions to target individuals in the media, the January 6 committee, and create an enemies list upon taking office.

    If we take them at their word, these pardons would protect individuals who have exercised their first amendment rights and acted in what they believed to be the best interest of America. These individuals may face scrutiny from the new administration, including a potentially biased FBI director, and be at risk of government overreach and prosecution.

    Therefore, pardons for individuals who have not been found guilty of any wrongdoing may be necessary to protect them from unjust persecution. Just as we immunize ourselves against the flu annually, these pardons would serve as a safeguard against the incoming administration’s potential efforts to unfairly target and prosecute individuals. It is crucial for Americans to be aware of these risks and take action to protect their rights.

  • Justice – Really? Trump

    A jury of New Yorkers declared Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts in a case centered around a $130,000 payment to the actress Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election. This payment was orchestrated by Trump’s personal attorney at the time, Michael Cohen, who was later repaid in monthly installments over the course of about a year. Looks like Trump’s shady dealings have finally caught up with him!

    Oh, but of course, did you not realize there are two distinct versions of justice? One tailored for the wealthy elite, such as Trump, and another for the rest of us common folk.

    It appears that Lady Justice is not actually blind, but rather conveniently blinded by the allure of money and the influence of politics. How surprising.

  • Keith Olbermann is right!

    I had the pleasure of listening to Keth today, and let me tell you, he hit the nail on the head! It’s absolutely imperative that everyone tunes in to what he has to say.

    The constant bickering between Republicans and Democrats is just laughable. Seriously, when Trump decided to pardon his son-in-law’s father, did anyone really bat an eye? It’s all just a big joke.

    THE PARDON IS ABOUT THE TRUMP MOB’S THREATS

  • You Can’t Make this Stuff up

    The shocking news broke today, Monday, that Pete Hegseth had quietly settled a financial dispute with a woman who accused him of harassment in 2017, President-elect Donald Trump decided to stick by his man and nominate him as the next Secretary of Defense. Trump’s trusty communications director, Steven Cheung, defended the decision by pointing out that Hegseth, despite the allegations, has not been formally charged with any crimes. “President Trump only selects the finest, most qualified individuals to join his administration,” Cheung declared with a straight face.

    However, Hegseth’s past actions before his gig as a Fox News TV host in 2017 paint a less-than-flattering picture of his character. Reports and testimonies from former colleagues reveal a troubling pattern of financial mismanagement, shady dealings, and questionable behavior that led to his ousting from not one, but two nonprofit organizations he headed—Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America. It seems like Hegseth’s resume is more suited for a reality TV show than running the most powerful military force in the world. Read more here
