This level of disrespect is incomprehensible.
As the names of Americans murdered on September 11th are read aloud at Ground Zero, AOC and Mamdani are laughing and smiling together.
There is a time and a place for politics. This isn’t it.
Ground Zero is sacred ground.
Those names belong to fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, firefighters, cops, and innocent Americans who went to work one morning and never came home.
For a few hours, on one day, have some damn respect.
September 11th is not a photo op.
It is not a networking event.
It is a funeral America has attended for 25 years.

Dana Bash isn’t a reporter.
She’s Big Pharma’s trusted mouthpiece for one-sided spins.
The main stream media is bought and paid for by Big Pharma!
MAHA

This is the greatest clip of all time. These liars are now having to deal with their embarrassing past and they are too far gone to even be humiliated

I would love to have @AOC and @ZohranKMamdani on the show, but I can't subpoena the guests.

Today, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of IFA Board Member Clement Troutman’s new @pjscoffee in Capitol Heights, MD.
Joined by his family and friends, the event brought together community members, local leaders, and supporters from across Prince George’s County — who saw firsthand the local impact and community presence that franchising provides.
As Clement said, “Today we are officially here in Capitol Heights, the center for opportunity in Prince George’s County Maryland, and PJ’s Coffee is going to make it happen for us.”
Congratulations to Clement and the entire team on the grand opening and expanding opportunity in the area! – at Capitol Heights, MD

Nice job, Pete.
Americans deserve robust competition & affordable airfares. USDOT supports DOJ's antitrust lawsuit, & we plan to deny the JetBlue-Spirit request for an exemption on their merger deal. We will continue with our own investigation while supporting DOJ's work. transportation.gov/briefing-…

🚨 MUST WATCH:
Johnny Carson (a Democrat) opens the 1981 Oscars, a day after the assassination attempt on President Reagan, with genuine class and respect.
The entire liberal Hollywood crowd erupts in applause.
Today? Jimmy Kimmel jokes about Melania Trump becoming a widow.

ICYMI: The @USDOL has proposed a nationwide joint employer standard, which would bring a much needed commonsense approach to the joint employer debate. This proposed rule is welcome news for franchising, allowing local businesses owners to maintain their independence and brands to continue to grow.
