The Attorney General’s Attack on Free Speech
Pam Bondi stated that the federal government will “go after” Americans “if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”




The Trump Administration is clearly threatening to quell dissent by labeling it as “hate speech.” All those who love freedom and value our constitutional rights should be concerned.

There is a Vox article today behind a pay wall where Trump is gearing up to petition the Supreme Court for total control of the US Economy...

Now how does the thought of that make you feel?

No aspiring dictator ever comes out and says hey I want to be a dictator. There is nothing Trump won't take unless there is someone able and willing to stop him...

I work for an agricultural co-op in Iowa. I have heard the complaints from local farmers.

Then again, I have to stop myself from saying, "This is what you wanted (they are inordinately Republicans). You might as well enjoy the ride."

Donald Trump has joined the King and Queen for a military ceremony and flypast at Windsor Castle as part of the US president's historic second state visit to the UK. The president and first lady watched as the famous red, white and blue smoke from the Red Arrows filled the skies over Windsor - but a flypast of F-35 fighter jets was cancelled due to poor weather conditions. The King and Mr Trump are both scheduled to speak at a state banquet at the castle later in the day.

There are some “positives” from Trump’s policies:

Trump’s Anti-Immigration Campaign Has Made Cocaine Cheaper

Federal agents have been taken off drug trafficking to stop immigration, and cocaine is flooding the American market.

-------
The price of cocaine has fallen dramatically thanks to President Trump and Stephen Miller’s anti-immigration efforts.

The Trump administration’s decision to move federal agents away from combating drug trafficking to deporting illegal immigrants has given drug cartels a relatively easy time getting cocaine into the United States, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Does that count as “fighting inflation”?

JD Vance Jokes About Killing Innocent Fishermen in International Waters

The VP has shown indifference over mounting criticism of deadly U.S. airstrikes on boats in the Caribbean.

“I said, ‘I know why!’ Vance, 41, recounted with a grin. “I would stop too.” Then, chuckling, he added, “Hell, I wouldn’t go fishing right now in that area of the world.”
