I’ve spent decades around politics. What we’re seeing now is nowhere near normal, and here’s the evidence.

Our country had never before been this endangered. The Overton Window has shifted so far that we are all - regardless of prior experience or expertise - in uncharted waters. I want to focus attention on how extraordinary our current situation is.

In states like NC, an armed person, wearing a mask and civilian attire, can be charged with the crime of “going armed to the terror of the public.”
Yes! And again yes! Deport illegal criminals before they do more harm!

Donald Trump is a Russian asset. How many times and in how many ways does he have to prove this to the world?

Is #WhiskeyPete really gonna shoot a guy in a wheelchair? Talk about the warrior ethos! @SecWar

I listened to the @CBSNews interview with Justice Alito. Sam sounded like the dog who had chased cars forever and finally caught one. “Now what?!”

This could be dangerous in an open carry state. No uniforms, no badges. Could be a robbery or a mugging.
ICE agents just raided LAX airport pre-dawn and arrested a Chinese national! A leftist watched in horror as she demanded 911 before getting hauled away. Newsom CANNOT save her! Air travel is OFF LIMITS for illegal aliens. ICE is everywhere. KEEP IT UP! 👏🇺🇸

Trump 45 lit the inflation fuse with the $2.2 trillion CARES Act. Biden added fuel with the ARPA at $1.9 trillion. Plenty of blame to go around.
The Biden Inflation Hangover What you feel at the store is cumulative inflation. A lower rate under Trump doesn’t erase the new baseline Biden created with a 21% price jump. Wages now need to continue to rise while inflation flattens. You can’t expand the money supply by roughly 30% and not expect the higher prices to stick. We just can’t go back to spending like that ever.

#SCOTUS I told you folks you made a huge mistake in empowering this maniac with your Trump v United States decision. Believe me now?
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval. pbs.org/newshour/polit… washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Let me explain something about the economy. You are the USA. You’ve always had a spending problem. But from 2020-2024, you got hooked on drugs went wild. You rented a penthouse in Vegas and let all your friends and their random leeches come stay. You racked up unimaginable debt, you neglected everything, and you didn’t work. Now, you went to rehab, and your financial advisor buddy has helped you buckle down. You’ve got paying work, and you have the chance to work hard and make more. And since you’re making money again, you will soon be able to pay down some debt. It’s just gonna take some time. But, none of that will happen if you let the drug dealer back into your life. Now, the drug dealer is calling and promising that they can make life better. What are you going to do? This sums up the midterm election.

I hope the United States is like this FlyDubai jet. A lunatic tries to crash it, but brave passengers overpower him and the damaged plane lands safely.

Didn’t he promise to do that “in 2 weeks” back in 2017?
Trump: We will pass a truly great health care plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies and we'll give the money directly to you, the people, so you can buy your own much better health care at a much lower price and have a lot of money left over

The classic Trump play: “It’s not MY fault! Unfair!”
Trump: Diesel prices are hurt much more by Ukraine knocking out russian refineries rather than the war in Iran.

Drone magnet? Ukraine and the Iran debacle have taught many folks the lesson of NOT concentrating forces.
"We haven't built a new base in this country in 40 years. That ends now." @SecWar announces plans for the "Next Great American Base," a massive new installation spanning hundreds of thousands of acres and housing up to 25,000 service members. "We are talking hundreds of thousands of acres with organic power generation, modern air defenses, and cutting-edge technology." Governors will compete to bring the massive project to their state.

This is what Trump voters did to the USA. They were bored with the ease and civility of modern life - and angry that people who didn’t look like them also got to enjoy it. So they trashed everything our forefathers had built over generations while screaming “fuck your feelings.” They set fire to their own house to own the libs. Now they cry on TikTok about the outrageous price of diesel, or their family farms going bankrupt, or not being able to afford healthcare… and they want us to feel sympathy for them. Yet, given the opportunity, they’d wreck everything all over again. They’ve learned nothing, and they never will, because learning requires humility. Learning requires a willingness to understand when you’re wrong. Cartoon by @sillyalexnorris

I lived in NC for years. The state’s motto is “Esse quam videri.” It means “To be, rather than to seem.” The @POTUS motto should be “Videri quam esse.” That means, roughly, “I’m faking it.”

Chip Franklin: “There’s no way back for Donnie, it’s all humiliation. History will record he was a weak man, a shitty husband, a horrible father, a failed businessman with six bankruptcies in 18 years, and a coward who avoided the draft and then mocked John McCain. Trump’s whole life is an embarrassment, a humiliation, a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks their shit doesn’t stink cause Trump is a living and breathing example of exactly that”

Love AOC’s fire and conviction. But she’s not gonna win a national race in the United States this decade. M axios.com/newsletters/axios-…

Unless Cuba can close the Straits of Florida.
Trump on taking Cuba: "I think I'll have the honor of conquering Cuba. That wouldn't be bad. It would be a great honor. I can liberate it or conquer it, I think I can do what I want with it."

One day you get into your car, the cameras identify you, the doors lock, and you're driven to the police station against your will to have a little chat about the [insert unconstitutional law] they said you broke.
