I wanted to find the reason why Stephen Miller is so abhorrent. Did he come from a dysfunctional family? Did something happen in his childhood? Apparently, he became radical when his family suffered financial hardship, had to move into a smaller home, and subsequently had to attend public school. Jimmy Kimmel unearthed a video of him during this time. Looks like it started here folks. m.youtube.com/shorts/piyKmyY…

A must read…
I have a history PhD from Oxford and try to support all of my historical claims with strong evidence, particularly when regarding the president of the United States. But based on a comprehensive review of 250 years of American history, it is simply irrefutable that Donald Trump is by far the most corrupt president in U.S. history when it comes to using the office to enrich himself and his family. Here are the facts, and why there isn’t even a close second. Trump’s own federal financial disclosure reported more than $1.4 billion in 2025 income from family crypto ventures, including about $635 million from his meme coin and nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial. Reuters separately estimated that the family added at least $2.3 billion to its fortune from crypto ventures after Trump returned to the White House. The clearest example of how Trump used the office came in May 2025. The 220 biggest holders of his meme coin were invited to dine with the sitting president at his private golf club. The coin jumped more than 60 percent when the dinner was announced. To get a seat at the table, you had to buy and hold a product that made the president money. Trump turned access to the presidency into a sales pitch. The foreign dealings raise an even more serious question. Four days before Trump took office, an investment vehicle backed by a UAE national security official agreed to pay $500 million for nearly half of World Liberty Financial. The Wall Street Journal reported that $187 million of the initial payment was directed to Trump family entities. Trump is clearly not the first United States president to be guilty of corruption, but the size and scale of his malfeasance put him in a league of his own. Under Ulysses S. Grant, whiskey distillers and federal officials pocketed money by cheating the government out of liquor taxes. Under Warren Harding, Interior Secretary Albert Fall took bribes in exchange for leasing federal oil reserves. Richard Nixon had a personal tax scandal, but his defining abuse of presidential power was the Watergate cover-up, an effort to protect his hold on office. LBJ’s political connections helped turn a small Texas radio station into a family broadcasting empire. By September 2025, less than eight months into Donald Trump’s second term, he and his family were roughly $5 billion richer than they had been around the 2024 election, according to Forbes. In comparison, a reasonable estimate is that all 44 other U.S. presidents combined added about $250 million to their wealth while in office, adjusted to today’s dollars. That puts the Trump family’s gain at about 20 times the estimated combined total for all other presidents over the course of two and half centuries. The election results were, at least in part, a clear repudiation of this staggering and historically unprecedented corruption. Congress now has a mandate to investigate, follow the money, pursue the recovery of all ill-gotten gains, and enact enforceable safeguards so that no president can ever again use the White House as a vehicle for personal enrichment.

What do you notice about these photos? A recent St. Pete Polls survey found Jolly leading Donalds among Black voters, 76% to 18%, with a small number undecided. A Stetson U poll released Friday found a smaller gap among Black voters, with Jolly at 68% and Donalds at 29%

Nancy is looking rough these days…
The only way to truly resolve the birthright citizenship issue is through a constitutional amendment. Senator Rand Paul and I have both filed them.

This is a Must Watch 👇
This is BRILLIANT: Watch this supercut of Republicans bitching about gas prices under Biden, lower than they are today, as they refuse to criticize MUCH higher prices under trump. Hypocrites, all of them.

Never support a politician that asks for your money but doesn’t allow comments.
Courageous conservatives are the only ones standing in the way of extremists getting their left-wing agenda passed into law. We are in DIRE need of your help to keep the People’s House away from those who chant such genocidal garbage as “Death to America”.
