Re: the midterms. Harry Litman of "Talking Feds" on Substack issued an alert this week (11jul2025, I think) that's received little attention amid the regime's ongoing KAOS. It's the Project 2025 assault on local elections offices, officials, and volunteers as a coordinated effort to delegitimize the 2026 election results before the midterms have even gotten underway in earnest. It's for certain the complicit corporate legacy loser media will sleep on this, but here's hoping the rapidly growing, pro-democracy media latch on to this scandal and expose these naked efforts to further erode what's probably our last chance to claw back our country's government.

We all need to be paying close attention to the Project 2025 crowd, the Heritage Foundation, and the Federalist Society. They're using Trump for their own purposes, and now that the Trump administration looks like it might flame out or blow up, they'll be pursuing other options.

Believed this since reading Project 2025 a year ago. They gave themselves 180 days to get Project 2025 in place. After that, they don't need tfg - 25th Amendment him and in goes Vance who happens to be Catholic like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. And not Catholic like Pope Leo XIV, but Opus Dei. Not good!

I read it more than 2 years ago! It’s been out there and only Senator Sheldon Whitehouse was trying to educate the masses. Like good Germans, they turned their heads.

Pretty much ditto, but Vance is a weak reed and if I can see it I bet the higher-ups can too.

How cruel the Texas situation is.. families not knowing where their children are and nobody available to answer their calls. And what is puppy killer doing? Asking what photo should be hung in the State Capitol building! This is beyond disgusting!

When people are malignant narcissists,as John Conway and psychologist Mary Trump described Drumpf, they neither have a moral compass nor a conscience. Kristi Noem is of the same ilk.

Cheeto and Double Taxation

WE the People pay income tax every April But the Orange Cheeto has created a second tier of taxation in the form of tariffs, ie a sales tax on imported goods and falsely claims that other countries are paying us the tariffs But what else is new, Cheeto lies about everything

So every time Cheeto announces a 10, 20, or 30% tariff recognize that he is announcing a sales tax to us, WE the People, of 10, 20, or 30% And we are paying to the tune of a 100 billion dollars in tax revenue for the US Treasury

This is why Cheeto’s tariff strategy is inflationary, it’s costing all of us and decreases the purchasing power of the dollar

So don’t buy into Cheeto’s scheme to bilk us WE the People A case challenging the tariff scheme is currently wending its way through the courts and more than likely be successful So trim back your spending to the bare essentials and encourage others to do the same until this tariff fiasco is over

Because we’re just paying for Cheeto’s tax ploy

It would be nice if the person implementing the tariffs actually understood how they worked.

In the past, didn't the country first go after Spiro Agnew, VP to Nixon, 'til he was forced to resign? Google:

"In 1973, Agnew was investigated by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, bribery, extortion, and tax fraud. Agnew took kickbacks from contractors during his time as Baltimore county executive and governor of Maryland. "

"Agnew is the only U.S. vice president in history to leave office because of criminal charges. Ten years later, in January 1983, he paid the state of Maryland almost $270,000 as a result of a civil suit that came from the bribery allegations. He was only the second vice president to resign the office. Spiro Agnew (R) Vice President of the United States, pleaded nolo contendere (no contest) to income-tax evasion (1973)."

"No, Spiro Agnew did not go to jail. While he faced felony charges, including tax evasion, he resigned from his position as Vice President and pleaded no contest to a single felony charge. This plea deal allowed him to avoid serving a long prison sentence. He ultimately died in 1996 at the age of 77."

Thanks Ben & Popok for this episode of “Trump World Turns”. Seems like the base will be demanding more of the Epstein files documentation released.

As far as the terrible loss of life in TX they should have declared an evacuation along the river in the first warning. Conditions were highly favorable for the river to rise to reach those close cabins and could have been prevented. Such a grievous tragedy for the families who lost their loved ones and those still waiting to find out the fate of those missing! Prayers for these families 🙏🏻

TX governor should have stepped in immediately since Noem was no where to be found! He at least could have called out the state national guard to assist in rescue and search operations. TX failed these people and should be held accountable. And the only reason DT made any weak effort a week later, was because TX is RED!

Keep bringing the truths that MSM won’t cover!
