Trump on refunding proceeds from his illegal tariffs: "We're giving a lot of that money back to people that hate our country, so I'm not happy with the Supreme Court"

Not very often.

Rep. Pat Ryan: "The fact that the president did not understand that closing the strait would be the obvious and immediate leverage point for the Iranians just shows how out of depth they are in initiating this war."

They never think that far ahead

Trump, who said in the 2024 campaign that Kamala Harris would start World War 3, compares his war against Iran to World War II

Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla (@Abdulkhaleq_UAE), with a verified badge. The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.

The worst ‘police states’ we have are controlled by Republican Governors

lowest rated schools too

Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, all Republican controlled States.

Miss, South Carolina,

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

I lived in Spokane for 3 years! loved that area. I’ve been watching her, she is not as bad as golden, but she rides the fence.

I had not seen if she has a primary opponent. Would not blame you if you went in a new direction

Don’t know about Superior, but a nice change of pace. I ride a bike everywhere, did not use car while in law school. Cars are very useful, and bikes are great.

Trump just publicly referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Iran.” Not only does this look like total capitulation from his administration but I am trying to imagine the GOP/Fox response if Joe Biden had said this.

Oklahoma Republicans working hard to do the same to our 50th ranked Education System.

exact same process, start small, then quickly expand the amount of tax $$ given to private school parents

$300,000,000 per year to families with kids who were already going to private schools.

@GovBillLee’s #1 priority

wpln.org/post/tenness...

He has consistently voted for Trump crap, claiming some middle ground BS. will probably switch parties or not run for reelection

When the expanded CTC expired in 2022, each $1,000 in lost benefits reduced consumer sentiment by 1.7 points—with effects lasting nearly two years—long after the checks stopped, from @jacobbastian.bsky.social and Melody Harvey www.nber.org/papers/w35059

And Kristen Sinema, don’t forget how useless she was too

We should be learning from other countries...

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Are we concerned as to whether there would be federal blowback? Not a concern of ours. Our role is to hold people accountable if they violate the laws of Minnesota. We feel strongly that this ICE agent committed 2nd degree assault."

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

The Trump budget is historic.

For the first time in recent history, the government would spend a larger share of its annual budget on defense than on domestic programs.

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

Weak, feeble, forgiving, kindhearted, not sure but we have to try a more hard-lined approach in my opinion.

and the 147 Rs who voted to overturn the election must also be punished

It's reverse Robin Hood.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Still could have used the bully pulpit to hammer home the issue.

What do these companies have in common?

-Block
-Citigroup
-Coinbase
-CVS
-Dominion Energy
-Disney
-Halliburton
-Hasbro
-HP
-Kohl's
-Live Nation
-Palantir
-Paypal
-PG&E
-Southwest Airlines
-Tesla
-United Airlines

They all paid a lower effective income tax rate than you: zero.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar went on Orbán's state TV today for the first time in 18 months:

"This factory of lies will end once the Tisza govt is formed... What has been going on here since 2010, which even Goebbels or the North Korean dictator would have been envious of, cannot continue."

What scripture mentions the war doctrine?

Of all my years spent in Sunday School, I was never told of this war doctrine Jesus spoke on. Hmmph

The pathology is so malignant and preposterous, it’s not hard to understand why some people look away and ignore
