Trump says he is holding Taiwan’s weapons package “in abeyance” because “it depends on China.” Then he calls it “a very good negotiating chip.” Taiwan is not a bargaining chip. It is a democracy facing an authoritarian threat.

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

Steady State’s Jim Petrila nails why Keepseagle is the wrong precedent. It involved Native American farmers, decades of USDA discrimination, a bipartisan waiver from Congress, a class action settlement, federal court oversight, and appellate review.
Autocrats believe due process is itself a sham. That is why they assume and expect sham trials. The J6 myth depends on pretending these were sham prosecutions. But as McFarlane notes, not one case was overturned. None. And DOJ had a 100% jury conviction rate at trial.

McCormick calling the Trump administration a “regime” before correcting himself is one of those moments where the truth accidentally walks into the room.
Why does this video seem insane? Because it is. Vance takes a felony case, flattens it into “misdemeanor trespassing,” calls Peters an “innocent grandmother,” credits Trump for a commutation issued by a Democratic governor, then uses that rewritten story to justify possible compensation.
Trump talks about intelligence operations like a guy spoiling a movie he didn’t understand. Reckless.

Washington Walk& Talk: A massive Trump portrait on a public building is not just unusual; it is an authoritarian-style signal about power, loyalty, and who government is supposed to serve.

People will pay $20 for apartment gossip because it feels easy. “Where can I live?” “What neighborhood?” “What’s rent?” “Where’s the food?” “Where’s the beach?” “What app do I use?” That feels fun. That feels close. That feels like movement. But the real question is not “where can I get an

Day 492 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope
Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.

use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.
