ICYMI, people and organizations tied to Hungarian president Viktor Orban’s former regime have been deeply involved with NatCon, the Thiel-backed conference that elevated both JD Vance and Christian Nationalism in the US. I’ve been collecting receipts. 1/
Screenshot of Bulwark post noting that the Blaze author of a story falsely accusing a federal official of planting bombs at the DNC and RNC on Jan. 5, 2021 was Jan. 6th defendant himself.
So The Blaze author of this ridiculous story falsely accusing someone of being the DNC/RNC bomber was also a Jan. 6th rioter himself? And no editor at The Blaze thought this might be a red flag when it came to making such a huge + speculative accusation lol?!
Tsunami Cloud (actually called shelf cloud), in Sydney, Australia
The Onion thinks this is satire, but it's not.
In a survey published in July 2025, the Canadian firm Leger revealed that 47% of Republicans would still support Donald Trump even if he "was officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities" (see: leger360.com/trump-epstei...)
If only America had someone who knew how to negotiate properly.
The "public comments at the hearing before the vote left little doubt that Monterey Park residents overwhelmingly disdained not only the prospect of a massive, noisy, and polluting infrastructure project being erected in their backyards, but who that project would benefit, at their expense.”

Elon Musk for prison 2026
In 2022, SpaceX was charged with illegally firing workers who spoke out against Elon Musk.
Then, Elon Musk helped elect Donald Trump, and Trump's labor board dropped the charges.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
Feel like somewhere in this article it should explicitly be said:
“The rural voters are experiencing the consequences of the policies of who they voted into power”
