I am glad that Trump is such a nice guy and has requested only 230 million. What could have stopped him from requesting a couple of trillion?
MAGA approves ..

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse

It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

Speaking of which, my Oregon bud and his wife have spent the last two days in Portland. And he has watched the sad decline of a place he once loved over the last 20 years or so. But even ADMITTING the decline in some things there, they drove all over and couldn't find ANYTHING like the videos from five years ago.

I hope nobody shows Trump a video of one of those movies where the mushroom cloud rises over Hiroshima and tells him, "Yep, China just did that." That clown will believe it.

Trump campaigned on free speech. That isn't how he's governed.

Politicians across the aisle love to say they support free speech—until they're in power. Donald Trump has been no different.

But now that Trump's president, and getting lots of criticism from the media, he's started calling speech that he doesn't like "illegal."

"They'll take a great story, and they'll make it bad. I think that's really illegal, personally."

He also threatened TV stations: "They give me only bad publicity…maybe their license should be taken away."

Bizarrely, Democrats suddenly became free speech advocates.

"Reject the government's attempt to weaponize this moment into an all-out assault on free speech," said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.).

But wait. When her party was in power, Ocasio-Cortez wanted government to "rein in our media environment so that you can't just spew disinformation!"

And "rein in" is exactly what Democrats tried to do, often succeeding.

Politicians eager to shut the other side up should have paid attention to Charlie Kirk when, just a few months before he was killed, he said: "You should be allowed to say outrageous things! You should be allowed to say contrarian things….That is the bedrock of a liberal democracy."

Another well-done piece by one of America's last real journalists. Not surprisingly, he shows just how full of **** Dems and Reps are, particularly when they regain power.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here
The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

To capture a democratic nation, authoritarians must control three sources of power: the intelligence agencies, the justice system, and the military. President Donald Trump and his circle of would-be autocrats have made rapid progress toward seizing these institutions and detaching them from the Constitution and rule of law. The intelligence community has effectively been muzzled, and the nation’s top lawyers and cops are being purged and replaced with loyalist hacks.

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officersâ€â€and Trump’s threat to fire moreâ€â€the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the commander in chief. But for how long?

I like how their stance on things changes when they're in power. I've seen it for decades. But they just keep telling us the other party is the "problem".
