    “DEMOCRAT MUTINY: Three of Jasmine Crockett’s staffers have turned against her, alleging Crockett is an abusive boss who routinely berates and belittles them, curses them out, refuses to go into the office, choosing instead to lounge around her luxury DC apartment while they complete all her tasks, has them do her laundry, and treats them like an Uber service. – NYP”

  2. These people are criminals profiteering off of folks they’re supposed to be helping.

    This is scum of the Earth type stuff.

    “NGO run by Gavin Newoms’ wife gets millions in taxpayer dollars which is then sent to her ‘for profit’ organization – giving the Newsom family a benefit of ~$1.5 million from nonprofit salary + ~$1.7 million from film sales/licenses. The Representation Project (Jennifer Newsom’s nonprofit organization) receives millions of dollars from the State of California. That project has paid nearly $2 million to Jennifer Newsoms’ for profit since 2021, including a $150,000 annual contracting fee since 2018. Many are now accusing Newsom of funnelling taxpayer dollars through his wife’s NGO to her ‘for profit’ organization and are calling for a federal investigation”

  3. Theft.

    “Jennifer Granholm was in charge of the Dept. of Energy under Biden. She shoveled out $93,000,000,000 in her last 76 days in office in the form of”loans” to “green” businesses that weren’t vetted and didn’t file a business plan.

    That’s 3 times their annual budget gone in 76 days.

    More than twice what was spent for the last fifteen years!”

    • I remember an interview Granholm gave where she was standing in front of what looked to be the White House, and the reporter asked what she was doing to help bring down the price of gas. She looked at him like he was crazy and laughed in his face— a real belly laugh like she genuinely found the question funny. And if course it was, because the whole thrust of Democratic policy at the time was to make gas expensive to force people to buy electric and cars.

      Democrats are all about the money and welfare of their donors who have all invested in climate change scamming. They are just Republican-Lite in that way. There’s no real opposition party.

  4. I don’t usually go to x or t.social, but this long rambling comment by the President caught my eye. He’s basically threatening us with a 1929 style Great Depression if the SCOTUS rules against him I b tariffs. I can’t believe I ever ever thought this man was competent to be president.

    “Tariffs are having a huge positive impact on the Stock Market. Almost every day, new records are set. In addition, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are pouring into our Country’s coffers. If a Radical Left Court ruled against us at this late date, in an attempt to bring down or disturb the largest amount of money, wealth creation and influence the U.S.A. has ever seen, it would be impossible to ever recover, or pay back, these massive sums of money and honor. It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION! If they were going to rule against the wealth, strength, and power of America, they should have done so LONG AGO, at the beginning of the case, where our entire Country, while never having a chance at this kind of GREATNESS again, would not have been put in 1929 style jeopardy. There is no way America could recover from such a judicial tragedy, but I know our Court System better than anyone, there is no one in history that has gone through the trials, tribulations and uncertainties such as I, and absolutely terrible, but also amazingly beautiful, things can happen. Our Country deserves SUCCESS AND GREATNESS, NOT TURMOIL, FAILURE, AND DISGRACE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  5. He’s a blind drunk in the drivers seat, and the people in the front passenger seat encouraging him are protected by safety belts and air bags. The rest of us are bouncing around in the open bed of the truck hoping for the best, but sorrowfully aware when one loses his grip and bounces off onto the side of the road.

    • Your perceptions are faulty; the only looks from me are ones of pity. But enjoy the ride while you can. I don’t begrudge you that. Eat drink and be merry today. Tomorrow the bill comes due.

    “BREAKING: The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia just vacated radical activist Judge Boasberg’s order holding the Trump admin in criminal contempt for deporting illegals using the Illegal Alien Enemies Act.

    Boasberg embarassed. Deportations march on.”

  7. HOLY SMOKES! The Texas House just REVOKED the derelict Democrat lawmakers’ access to direct deposit – they CAN’T GET PAID until they step foot back on Texas grounds!

    AND – charging them $500 per day they’re gone.

    Genius. The FBI is also involved.

    Texas Democrats WILL NOT receive their paycheck until they go back to the House.

    “Eventually, you WILL come back.”

    FIGHTING BACK, at the pocketbook.

    Trying to thwart this new Congressional map was a bad move.

    It will end very poorly for the Dems here.

  8. Withholding paychecks from people who refuse to go to work is a good idea. Involving the FBI and arrest warrants izms probably an abuse of power. I can’t imagine what grounds there are for arrest warrants. Has any I e seen an article that explains that?

    They made sure of it.

    “Texas Democrats who fled to block a vote on the new House map are now facing second-degree felony charges, according to Governor Abbott.”

    And since they fled across state lines, they brought the FBI down on themselves, as that’s who takes over for out of state warrants.

  10. So the crime would be the felony of bribery according to Gov Abbott. The Dems solicited or gave money to help Democrats NOT perform a legislative act. Yeah. They may get them that way—at least tie them up in court. Next time they’ll be smarter and say they’re all going in vacation. Or they could just stay and do their jobs.

    “Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has just filed with the Supreme Court to declare 13 Democrat House seats VACANT

    “The rogue Democrat legislators who fled the state have abandoned their duties, leaving their seats vacant,” Paxton said

    “These cowards deliberately sabotaged the constitutional process and violated the oath they swore to uphold.”

    “I have asked the Texas Supreme Court to declare what has been clear from the beginning: that the runaway members have officially vacated their offices in the Texas House.”
