Somebody should have called an exorcist--right after JAN6. Had the country united against that treasonous assault immediately we would not be dealing with this i sanity today.

He and they are infectious pathogens that should have been dispersed immediately. Lawless, evil and corrupt they have spread their stench far and wide. They have one problem--MTN and the Meidas Mighty.

The underbelly of Trump power is in the senate. Senate majority leader Thune is under tremendous pressure. https://www.yahoo.com/news/senate-gop-leader-faces-pushback-100000271.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9oYXJ0bWFubnJlcG9ydC5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMjAQmI0hSM_8wB1FewLF33x6inlZ8gnuFMeerV5PRUTIx5rluyLUWIoeuvqkOMCWwNSLuhFAbHU_T5cBZgNK5rYFCKNaj9GYpTac6RXX_f-z5n9Pvj-gAdsJxE0QIunY7nOAFXfiABNirnFCuRMiTj2pxWThFVlYWwrPDUspitL

Meanwhile, the senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, could rule multiple provisions do not qualify as a budgetary provisions and therefore are not permitted in the bill. That decision is still pending as of today, and the senate is not in session. The Byrd Rule restricts the inclusion of extraneous matter in reconciliation bills.

The presiding officer or the full senate may overrule the advice of the Parliamentarian. In practice, this is rare; the most recent example of a Vice President (as President of the Senate) overruling the parliamentarian was Nelson Rockefeller in 1975.

On top of that is the Iran issue. MSM is not on top of it. Trump always does the wrong thing. This has to exacerbate the problem he has within his own party re Ukraine. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/us/politics/breaking-with-trump-bacon-says-he-wont-follow-his-party-off-the-cliff.html

If we intensify the pressure, we can disrupt their rise before revolution or civil war become the only solutions.

We the people are your investors. Two "weak" TACO and his band of traitors - Congress, SCOTUS, House, appointees, the Heritage Foundation, evangelical Christian's are all traitors.

Using "Urgent Message" every time you post a video eventually makes all your messages non-urgent. You may want to reserve "Urgent" for news/situations requiring immediate notification/attention.

You aren't referring to Mr. "God" Burns, surely? He had a sense of humour. Neither Murdoch nor Trump have such a thing. I watched a stony-faced Peter Thiel stomping through several streets, with a free-press reporter trying to get one word of an answer from him. No way. Stephen Miller looks like the zombie/robot from Hell. If he tried to smile, something would shatter. And Curtis Yarvin has facial expressions like a twisted snake whilst he lies plausibly and glibly. Just like our Nigel Farage. Ugh !

The truth and golden and that is why more Americans get their news from independent media than corporate media. Thank you Ben and company for being one of the most reliable sources for honest commentary and analysis.

The temperature isn’t just rising in the climate, it’s rising on Trump and his goons. While Israel and Iran launch attacks on one another, the worst leader ever is off golfing in New Jersey. He cannot face the moment that could be the start of a 20 year conflict, he has not idea what he is doing. He’s even attacking his own staff.

We are in this for the long haul and every day we are closer to the midterms and accountability for this regime.

A Call to My Fellow Grandparents: Share the Truth – Defend Our Families and Democracy

On June 14, 2025, Americans from all walks of life took part in the No Kings protestβ€”a peaceful, powerful stand against a disturbing trend: ICE’s public arrests of migrants and now even Democratic leaders.

Our families are watching this unfold. Our grandchildren are asking questions. And we must answer them with the truth.

What’s happening isn’t just a policy shiftβ€”it’s a full-scale campaign of fear, driven by media silence and propaganda. Asylum claims are being dropped with little notice, not because they’re invalid, but to make way for swift deportations. Migrants are being arrested at courthouses, schools, and hospitalsβ€”and now, so are the public servants who stand up for them.

πŸ“£ Who Has Been Detained? Recent Democratic Leaders Arrested by ICE

Name

Title

Date & Location

What Happened

Sen. Alex Padilla (D–CA)

U.S. Senator

June 12 – Los Angeles

Arrested at a press event after identifying himself; video contradicts ICE’s claim he resisted.

Brad Lander

NYC Comptroller & Mayoral Candidate

June 17 – Manhattan

Handcuffed at immigration court while supporting a migrant family.

Mayor Ras Baraka

Newark, NJ

May 9 – ICE facility

Detained for participating in a peaceful protest; released same day.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D–NJ)

U.S. Representative

May 9–19 – Newark

Charged with β€œinterference”; remains under federal review.

Judge Hannah Dugan

Milwaukee County

April 25 – Courthouse

Accused of β€œobstruction” for intervening in an ICE arrest.

David Huerta

SEIU Labor Leader

June 6 – LA Raid

Detained while protecting undocumented workers; released on bond June 9.

Each of these arrests has been minimized or spun by mainstream outletsβ€”and sensationalized or outright misrepresented on Fox News.

πŸ“Ί What Fox News Is Saying – And What the Facts Say

On The Ingraham Angle, Fox hosts claimed a β€œ400% surge in assaults” on ICE agentsβ€”a number not verified by any independent law enforcement source.

The Faulkner Focus portrayed June’s protests as β€œcoordinated leftist riots,” when outlets like The Guardian and Reuters confirmed they were overwhelmingly peaceful, attended by grandparents, veterans, and clergy.

Senator Padilla’s arrest was falsely reported as a refusal to comply, despite video footage proving he clearly identified himself.

πŸ§“πŸ‘΅ What We Grandparents Can Do:

Speak out. Post the truth on Facebook. Add your voice to local forums and family chats.

Share trusted journalismβ€”from The Guardian, Time, Reuters, and MSNBC. These outlets are doing the legwork that many corporate-owned media won’t.

Educate across generations. Let your grandchildren know why these protests matter. Help them understand how propaganda worksβ€”and how facts feel different.

Support independent mediaβ€”from the Meidas Touch Network, The Bulwark, The Contrarian, The Warning by Steve Schmidt, Lincoln Square, Brian Tyler Cohen, Jim Acosta, Katie Phang, Joe Walsh, Adam Kinzinger, Terry Moran, Aaron and Lev Parnas, Aaron Rupar, among others. Repost. Subscribe. Comment. Donate when you can. We need strong, independent press now more than ever.

We’ve seen enough to know what happens when good people stay silent. On June 14, we showed up. Let’s keep showing upβ€”in our homes, online, and in our communities.

Let’s be the generation that still knows how to use our voicesβ€”with truth, heart, and courage.

With love and determination,

✍🏼 Clarissa Sr.
