President Trump is kicking ass and taking names. We- and that includes me err I err me- tend to focus too much on the relatively small number of rabid Trump haters. Their numbers seem greater than they are because these loudmouth crybabies always have their faces stuck in a camera and they get lots of airtime because of the twisted, sorry excuse for news media that plagues this country.
You'd have to be a stone cold idiot to not see the good being done by President Trump and his administration. I think most Americans understand what's really going on.
The hilarious part is that each time the leftists and their media co-conspirators condemn President Trump, they turn out to be wrong. From the price of eggs, to tariffs and international policy and anything else you might name, they always end up being proven wrong. It really is remarkable.
Regarding Pharma ads on TV, RFK Jr said in his recent interview with Brett Baier (well worth seeing, also included Dr. Oz, Marty Makary and Jay Bhattacharya) that the drug companies advertise to consumers who don't pay for the drugs, to demand the drug from doctors who don't pay for the drugs; the taxpayers pay for the drugs. Then the pharmaceutical companies get a tax deduction for their advertising expenses. It does sound crazy.

Agreed! Can’t just blame the Dems when there seems to be a lot of “R”’s who waffle, shift, and jive.
DJT and those Republicans who are on board need to publicly call them out and force them to get on board or get targeted in primaries by someone who isn’t afraid to do the will of the people.
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has walked back its designation of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a “proven far-right extremist organization,” halting the surveillance activities tied to that classification while a legal challenge from the party proceeds.
This decision comes amid heightened transatlantic tensions and mounting concerns over political surveillance practices.
The move follows a formal request by US Senator Tom Cotton, who called on the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to suspend intelligence cooperation with Germany. Citing what he described as the misuse of intelligence tools for political targeting, Cotton emphasized that actions such as monitoring, infiltration, and surveillance of opposition parties are reminiscent of authoritarian regimes, not democratic allies.

We have spineless jellyfish republicans in both houses. They vote against MAGA. Many will probably keep their jobs, but they will lose the majority of both houses in the midterm, unless they change their positions. They fail to believe that PDJT was elected BECAUSE of his MAGA policies.

Yes, and we have plenty of crooks on our side as well, considering the number of R voting against codifying DOGE's findings.
We also don't have the numbers in the Senate, anything MAGA that the house would pass won't get the 60 votes needed to get past cloture.
We can blame the people in DC all we want, but the real problem is voters don't show up for mid terms like they do every 4 years. Because campaign finance rules favor the incumbent (go figure) many get re-elected both D and R.
You want to change the course of DC, show up at the midterms, keep the house and add seats to the Senate and replace the problems, that are up for re-election.
And we need to do it again in 2028, if we let the D back in power all of Trumps work will be removed on the first day, we need a strong R POTUS and again to give him/her congress to get things done.

Yep, it's the craziest thing! End the advertising.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

who cares about Chy-nah and Drug Prices, finally the administration is fixing the biggest problem in the country, I for one am excited!
“A former inmate of Alcatraz who once swept the floors of America's most infamous prison is brushing aside Donald Trump's bombshell plan to bring the facility back to life.
Charlie Hopkins, 93, is the last known living man to have worn the steel-gray uniform of Alcatraz, but even as a fervent Trump supporter he believes the president's plan to reopen The Rock is just a bluff.
'He don't really want to open that place,' Hopkins said speaking to the BBC from his home in Florida. 'He's just trying to get a point across to the public.' …”
The media and the Democrats are attacking Donald Trump again. I know—what else is new? This Qatari royal family-747 business got them all hot and bothered, and it’s not all that accurate. The story is that Qatar is going to ‘gift’ Trump a 747, which will be upgraded to be used as Air Force One. Members of the legacy press ‘confirmed’ this story yesterday, except they’re all wrong. Again.

Trump also farted once and it offended someone. Democrats should investigate that.

Meanwhile in Beautiful Newark NJ... DHS Ends Dem Reps’ Claims of Doing Nothing Wrong at ICE Facility with Just 4 Words [WATCH] By LifeZette News Staff May 12, 2025
The Department of Homeland Security is actively investigating an incident involving three Democratic members of Congress at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Newark, according to a statement from DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin.
The lawmakers — Reps. LaMonica McIver, Robert Menendez Jr., and Bonnie Watson Coleman — are under scrutiny following a chaotic confrontation that occurred at the site, with the possibility of arrests still on the table.
The incident has drawn widespread attention following a televised interview Friday on CNN, where the three representatives defended their actions during the disruption.
They denied engaging in any physical altercations with law enforcement and asserted they were the victims of aggression.
Rep. McIver addressed a specific allegation from DHS that she had “body slammed” a federal agent.
“I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone. There’s no video that supports me body slamming anyone,” she said during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.
However, footage of the incident aired by CNN appeared to show Rep. McIver elbowing her way through a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent.
