🚨 WOW! Secretary Rubio is taking NO BS from Dem Rep. Ted Lieu, he keeps DESTROYING them LIEU: Trump can't even stay awake during meetings! RUBIO: He's NOT falling asleep LIEU: YOU'RE LYING RUBIO: Is this a JOKE!? This is a Foreign Affairs Committee you're asking about SLEEP [...] Absurd and ridiculous. I can't believe we're in a Foreign Affairs Committee with questions about someone who thinks he's a MEDICAL EXPERT when he's NOT! We HAD a cognitively impaired president for 4 years. THIS president is a guy that literally DOESN'T sleep, works long hours every day. I talk to him day and night, HE WORKS INHUMANE HOURS. I've been on trips where he doesn't sleep the whole flight, he's wandering the hallways to wake people up and talk to! He has an INCREDIBLE amount of energy. He's so good.

And yet, we still allowed America hating Somalis into our country and government.....morons
Today in 1993, two U.S. Blackhawk helicopters are shot down over Mogadishu, Somalia. 18 Americans are killed and 73 are wounded during the fight to recover the crews. Hundreds of Somalis die in the battle. The debacle leads to a scaling back of America's mission in the region.

This is what an unenforced law looks like in practice. Texas law already requires a working muffler. Transportation Code § 547.604 says every motor vehicle “shall be equipped with a muffler in good working condition that continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise.” It also bans muffler cutouts, bypasses, and similar devices. Colleyville’s own code goes further. Chapter 42 declares unreasonably loud and unnecessary noise a nuisance and specifically prohibits discharging a motor vehicle’s exhaust into the open air except through a muffler or other device that effectively prevents loud or explosive noise. The inspection system does not close that gap. The Texas DPS Vehicle Inspection Manual states that exhaust inspections cover “the discharge of exhaust fumes and leaks” and are “not concerned with the noise level.” Since January 1, 2025, Texas has also eliminated annual safety inspections for non-commercial vehicles. In Tarrant County, emissions testing remains, but it checks emissions equipment, not whether a muffler is preventing excessive noise. The result is predictable. Vehicles with modified, defective, or removed mufflers pass through neighborhoods at all hours, wake residents, and degrade the quiet that people reasonably expect in a residential city. The statute exists. The local ordinance exists. What is missing is enforcement and any inspection standard that actually measures compliance.@TxDPS @CityColleyville

🚨 JUST NOW: The Trump White House just LAUNCHED a devastating tracker that calculates the exact cost of Democrats’ 2026 socialist policies would cost the U.S. if they win $355,000 PER HOUSEHOLD. INCOME PLUMMETS. MORTGAGE RATES SURGE! Vote red! Add about $49T to the deficit over 10 years, which the Council of Economic Advisers puts at roughly $355K per household: - $22K: lost take-home pay per worker every year if they raise taxes to pay for it - 12%+ 30-year mortgage rates if they borrow it - 130% to 160% higher prices over the decade - 254% federal debt as a share of GDP by 2036, more than DOUBLE today - 39.6% average federal income tax rate, up from 14.1% - 6.9M jobs lost from the 32-hour workweek at the high - 3.3M rental homes lost to rent control DSA also calls for ABOLISHING the police and the prison system, which then costs lives!

BREAKING: Republican Susan Collins’ odds of winning Maine’s Senate race have climbed to 42% on Polymarket App, narrowing the gap with Troy Jackson as the Midterms Hub now rates the contest a “Tossup.”

Remember that red lit Philadelphia speech? I do. Joe Biden stood there and painted millions of MAGA Republicans as extremists and a threat to democracy. That happened. He said it out loud, on national television. Never forget how ugly political rhetoric can get when one side decides ordinary Americans are the enemy.

Andrew Ross Sorkin gushes over Trump's new America. gov website on live TV while Joe Kernen sits there stunned. Sorkin is not a Trump fan, and he lets that be known. But the moment he said the word "credit," Kernen nearly fell out of his chair. SORKIN: “I want to be clear. I am actually not critical of the president in this instance at all, because I actually think it was great to bring everybody together.” “For 29,000 websites, the ability to get a passport, the ability to get your medicare. I mean, the it was like being at a product. It was like being at an Apple product announcement. And when they went through what they did and the president was there in the morning and walked through what they were doing, and Marco Rubio was there, Scott Bessent was there, the whole cabinet was there. It was one of those moments where you actually thought the government was working for you, really? And Gebbia deserves an extraordinary amount of praise for it.” KERNEN: “Do you feel great? Are you have the warmest fuzziest feeling right now listening.” SORKIN: “And by the way, the president deserves credit for that." KERNEN: "Oh my God!" SORKIN: "Credit for putting you in that role. And Jeb and his team putting it all together.” KERNEN: “So now I'm getting hot flashes. Wow. So this is just amazing.” CONTEXT (What happened): Trump launched America. gov, a single government site meant to replace 29,000 federal websites for things like passports and Medicare. It was built by Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, and Sorkin was in the room for the demo. Sorkin also credited the Trump accounts interface as "really easy to use" and "like using a real app."

Every time the Democrats vote against voter ID, they are going directly against the Constitution of the United States. This is called treason and they should be charge, convicted and receive the harshest punishment possible. It's just that simple.
