Try to make sense of these words. I dare you.

BREAKING: Trump’s New Iran Strategy - “I Promise Not To Bomb You Until You Tell Me How To Stop Bombing You” The President just extended a ceasefire in the war HE started with Iran — permanently - until Iran decides, and the terms of how THEY want the war to end. Yes. I'm Serious.

The President of the United States has told the country he is actively at war with that he will not attack them again — until they write him the peace plan.

Yep.

THE KISS-MY-ASS PRESIDENCY: Trump’s “Tribute” To Tim Cook Is Actually A Tribute To Himself — And Cook Handed Him The Gold Plaque To Write It On Tim Cook didn’t retire yesterday. He was eulogized by a conman who can’t stop telling the world he made a $4 trillion CEO kneel - and the $4 trillion CEO spent the last 18 months proving him right.

Insane corruption.

And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.

The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.

(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

Watch Trump Genuinely Forget Who Was President Last Year Donald Trump, 79, accidentally insulted himself when discussing the 2025 economy.

Trump had several gripes while speaking at his No Tax on Tips event in Las Vegas Thursday evening. Yet in an incredible mental lapse, one of Trump’s points of frustration was about who the president was in 2025. trib.al/WCaL9Bu

Hegseth thinks it's the 11th Century and that he's a crusader. He sees nothing out-of-context in giving a sermon, and doing so inside the Pentagon, as his responsibility as the Secretary of Defense. He's profoundly delusional and dangerous. He must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Statement from Israel’s Proxy Secretary of War:

Things you’d NEVER see Donald Trump do, #628:

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former President Barack Obama are at a child care center in the Bronx reading a children’s book to preschoolers. 📘

"This president has no idea what he's doing and is not fit to be serving as our commander-in-chief."

Rep. Melanie Stansbury

Is anyone in the Trump administration not a drunk, a junky, a predator or a psycho?

Trump’s Iran lies boil down to two possibilities:

1. A blatant pump-and-dump scheme to enrich his inner circle.
2. He’s completely lost his grip on reality.

Federal crime or mental collapse — take your pick. Both are a disaster.

Straight up milking the market

We Forget About ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ at Our Peril The abuses are piling up, and Democrats and activists are desperate to get the word out.

"'It’s a vile, disgusting place that you would never want anyone you care about to spend five minutes in, let alone be warehoused in cages there.'"

Well this is fun

It Has Begun. An ICE Agent is Finally Being Charged. Things are changing. It's not a murder charge but it's some damn important progress.

When the FBI withholds evidence and the Department of Homeland Security refuses to identify the agents involved in shootings, investigations become more difficult, though not impossible.

Wow. Donald Trump bypasses Congress to launch a war that’s rattling the global economy, and now Russell Vought is in a Senate budget hearing playing careful like he just needs more time to “get the numbers right.”

This isn’t about dotting i’s and crossing t’s — it’s dodging accountability.

ICE Agent Charged With Assault in Rare State Prosecution Minnesota prosecutors have spent weeks investigating the conduct of immigration agents who took part in an immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities.

Breaking News: An immigration agent was charged with assault in Minneapolis, a rare state prosecution for on-duty actions.

"If your local bakery loses one of its ovens, the whole neighborhood ends up having to get by with less bread."

Transcript: Trump-Pope War Has Ex-Aides Panicking about Mental Decline As Trump’s ex-supporters sound the alarm about his mental decline, a former senior Trump official explains why the president’s madness is now badly messing with ordinary Americans’ everyday lives.

Donald Trump’s war with Pope Leo has taken an uglier turn, and it neatly captures the president's decline and then some.

"It’s a complete insult to any religious community of faith who is watching what is happening here by JD Vance and Trump." trib.al/6s3QPeI

Vance's obvious contradiction here isn't the issue. He has no authority to dictate what the pope can and cannot say.

Pope James David Vance the First The vice president has decided he’s a more accomplished theologian than Leo XIV.

J. D. Vance has decided he’s a more accomplished theologian than Pope Leo XIV—and in doing so, Vance showcases what another pope once called “the queen of all vices”: the deadly sin of pride, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

Hey @caterpillarinc.bsky.social we see you 🤔😕

“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”

Democrats don’t need rapists and pedophiles to help us keep our house in order thank you very much.
