Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?

Homeland Security klogo: More Third World Violence: ICE Requests Texas Not Release Illegal Alien Who Murdered His Co-Worker with a Sledgehammer Release Date: April 20, 2026 If you import the third world, you become the third world WASHINGTON — The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer requesting local authorities not release Josue Abraham Chirino-Leonice, a 19-year-old criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, who is charged with murdering his co-worker to death with a sledgehammer.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is using official press releases to message that Westerners (they mean white people) are superior to people from the Global South (they mean non-white people). This is a dangerous, backwards position for our government to take.

/also, "murdered .. to death"?

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

And #wethepeople have paid millions — upon MILLIONS — of dollars so this unfathomably depraved SELF-PROFESSED sexual assaulter can golf.

The most expansive cover-up in American history must END.

STOP. PREDATORS.

Hegseth sneered about the military's logistical experts, and now he's got ships stuck with sailors almost starving on them.

But he's still sure the dismissive attitude about the flu won't come back to bite him.

Uzani, when the light came over the mountain!

🎶 What is this language about? Can't figure the meaning out. How does the syntax go, I wish you'd tell me, I don't know.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
The beast of Tanagra,
Sokath, his eyes open!
Darmok and Jalad on the ocean.

Shaka when the walls fell,
Picard and Dathan at El-Adrel! 🎶

Trans people haven't done anything, but a bunch of Epstein islanders still collectively lost their absolute shit over us for no reason

Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?

Told you so. Crazy Eddie Lutnick is as corrupt as the day is long.

Time to investigate Cantor Fitzgerald and their family pump and dump schemes off of tariffs.

Trump regime is the

Most

Corrupt

Regime

Ever.

For the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to restore and preserve the freedom our forefathers fought and died for, the War Department will DISCARD AND REJECT the woke prohibition on shitting in our drinking water. AMERICANS SHIT WHERE WE WILL.

Disqualifying

I mean, "whiner" is the most accurate way to describe him.

Also, there has to be a winner and a loser. He wants to be on the winning side, so the other side has to lose. There's no such thing as a win-win to him.

He has zero idea what a currency swap is. Bet me

I guarantee this will spark renewed opposition to body cameras. Without this footage, they'll say, this cop wouldn't have to have endured all this scrutiny.

They'll unironicly imply that if we didn't document crimes by police then there wouldn't BE any crimes by police.

It's not enough for this cop to be charged with murder (he probably won't be). Everyone who participated in this cover-up should be charged as an accessory. (They definitely won't be).

The reason cops lie all the time, again and again, is because there's almost no chance of real consequences.

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

According to reports, Corey Lewandowski took kickbacks to secure DHS contracts for paying contractors.

Fired Secretary Kristi Noem handed $220M in taxpayer funds to her allies for self-promotion. This is blatant corruption.

These partners in crime need to be fully investigated.

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

Republicans may lose both Congress and the White House in 2028. But if they can cause a long and deep economic downturn, they are likely to return to power in 2030 and 2032.

In 1933, the nation's wealthiest people (including George HW Bush's grandfather) conspired to overthrow the government and install a fascist dictator who would reverse the New Deal and return the US to the gold standard. FDR swept it under the rug in return for the conspirators' compliance.

That's for damn sure; vote, Virginia!

6 Fake Awards Donald Trump Has Received During His Second Term (So Far) - The List During his second term, President Donald Trump has been presented with a handful of awards that seem to cater specifically to him as an ego boost.

tRump’s 2nd term is a nonstop ego parade of fake awards: French fry pins, hand-me-down Nobels, invented “America First” trophies, and “clean coal” honors from his donors. Pathetic vanity project while the country burns. Real leaders don’t beg for participation ribbons.
