Trump has acknowledged that JD Vance is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2028.

I read that Prez Trump signed a directive to the Pentagon to have the US military be more involved in the fight against drug cartels in Latin America.

I like it. Stop them before they bring their violence and poison to your neighbourhood.

I suspect we'll start drone striking the cartel beaners. I sincerely hope they FA/FO.

I hope it's JD Vance. I don't trust the others. They will take the GOP out of the hands of the working class and give it back to the warhawks and corporatists. Let them join the Democratic Party if they already haven't.

Amid President Donald Trump's efforts to drain the swamp, a new explosive whistleblower account reveals troubling allegations about former Attorney General William Barr, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and the Georgia election case against the president.

According to a Thursday report from Project Veritas, former journalist Patrícia Lélis claims that she has evidence from her work at Howard Stirk Holdings that Trump's former AG "devised legal strategies to target Trump supporters and block his political comeback."

Lélis' handwritten meeting notes, emails, and photos, reviewed by Project Veritas, claimed to outline secret discussions from 2021 to 2023 between Barr and others to strategize legal action against Trump, his supporters, and those involved in the January 6 protest.

"I have notes of every single meeting," she told the outlet.

She claimed that during a meeting on September 13, 2021, that Barr had discussed the newly formed January 6 committee. Lélis' notes read, "The investigation will be focused on people close to Trump and make efforts to formally prosecute these people."

According to her notes, Barr hoped to target Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Enrique Tarrio, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys, among others.

Notes dated March 15, 2022, revealed that Barr was allegedly communicating with Fulton County DA Willis and special counsel Jack Smith regarding planned legal action in Florida, Georgia, and New York.

Lélis also wrote, "Barr believes the FBI will go to Trump's house soon."

The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022.

On February 27, 2023, Barr allegedly advised Willis to pursue RICO charges against Trump.

In August 2023, Willis brought a 41-count indictment against Trump and 18 co-defendants. The indictment charged the president, in part, under Georgia's RICO statute.

Lélis told Project Veritas, "Bill Barr was like, 'We should bring RICO because it's a very difficult type of charge to defend.'"

Lélis said she reported Barr to the FBI and was subsequently prosecuted by the Department of Justice. She was granted political asylum in an undisclosed foreign country.

This is not what one would expect from the United States.

They both want to stop illegal immigration.

A former Capitol Police chief ripped into Nancy Pelosi after she tried to cite the rioting at the U.S. Capitol when criticizing President Donald Trump's federal takeover of D.C.

"Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake," Pelosi wrote. "Now, he's activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders."

Steven Sund, who was in charge of the U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6, offered a fierce but polite response.

"Ma'am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority," he wrote.

"On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, 'running it up the chain' for your approval," Sund added.

"When I needed assistance, it was denied," he concluded. "Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops."

Attorney General Ken Paxton opened investigations into a George Soros-funded political action committee and a group organized by failed gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke, which are both suspected of helping fund the Texas Democrats' abrupt exit.

Old Pierre was right. We want smaller government.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia tossed out the February order of a Biden-appointed district judge on Wednesday and delivered the Trump administration a big win.

How it started
President Donald Trump ordered a pause in foreign aid on his first day back in office, eliciting backlash from beneficiaries abroad and vested interests at home.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio subsequently suspended new funding obligations for the State Department; terminated thousands of grant awards; and shuttered the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Foreign-born U.S. District Judge Amir Ali helped them in February to keep the gravy train moving.

Ali, a Biden appointee, issued a universal injunction — the kind the U.S. Supreme Court determined on June 27 "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts" — that barred the Trump administration from "suspending, pausing, or otherwise preventing the obligation or disbursement of appropriated foreign-assistance funds in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of January 19, 2025."

In a 2-1 decision on Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia did what the Supreme Court refused to do in March: vacate Ali's order.

Trump, convinced that the U.S. "foreign aid industry and bureaucracy are not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values," ordered a 90-day pause in foreign aid, affording his administration an opportunity to review relevant programs "for programmatic efficiency and consistency with United States foreign policy."

Even after accounting for population increase, Mr Trudeau grew the federal civil service 40 percent while he was pm.

Are the services the Canadian federal governments administers forty percent better?

Of course all that spending did not result in better delivery of services.

It did buy the Liberals more votes in greater Ottawa.

Mark Levin has repeatedly invited Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on "LevinTV" to debate him over Sanders' long list of socialist policies, like government-run health care, punitive wealth taxes, and union-heavy labor schemes. Many public invitations have been extended, but every time — crickets.

Is he just too busy rallying Trump haters on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour? Or is he scared Mark will wipe the floor with him?

Perhaps he's hesitant because he knows he'll be skewered over his fascination with communist dictators — like his lauding of the tyrannical Cuban despot Fidel Castro back in 2020 during a "60 Minutes" interview and subsequent CNN town hall.
