Born in 1970, and I've seen many Presidents come and go. The best POTUS we've ever had is Trump hands down. Never seen a POTUS immediately get on the ball and get things done the moment they enter the WH. Our border was wide open under Dems 4yrs. Trump sealed it his FIRST WEEK!

“Just remember… these sons of bitches keep coming.” @karaswisher.bsky.social’s message to Minnesotans (and everyone) is to keep vigilant.

Dems must expose how much Trump and his Republican Epstein-class despises Americans. Scott Bessent literally claimed you have less savings not because of high costs, but because you have 'more confidence.' They think we are stupid and gullible.

The number of benevolent millionaires offering to share their secrets with regular people for “free” through their course is considerable. These financial gurus are doing these programs probably because they are in debt or financial straits. #financialadvice #guru #getrichquick #bankruptcy #shady

July 6, 1972, David Bowie performed "Starman" on Top of the Pops, a moment that shocked conservatives with his theatrical gesture of draping an arm around Mick Ronson. It skyrocketed his fame in the UK and cemented his rise to stardom. #DavidBowie #Starman #Music open.spotify.com/track/0pQskr...
