  1. Once again the media beclowns themselves in their rush to defend an illegal invader child rapist. They can’t help themselves.

    There were more as well, these are just a few.

    In their rush to show Orange Man Bad, they expose themselves as the untrustworthy 🤡🤡🤡 they are.

  2. “Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.

    This is why, at @POTUS’ direction, @ODNIgov directed the revocation of the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence professionals who have abused the public trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards.

    Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people.”

  3. The entitlement mentality is off the charts. She’s shocked that she may have to do 15 hours of community service in order to continue to get her $2000 a month in food stamps.

    The horror.

    Also, the rule states that the disabled do not need to do so, just the able bodied folks, like her.

    “New SNAP rules require some adults to fulfill a work requirement, but these are not “universal” food stamp rules; instead, the specific rules vary by state and location, with some areas waiving the requirement. Generally, if you’re an able-bodied adult without dependents and not caring for a young child, you may need to work or participate in a work program for about 20 hours per week. You can meet this requirement through paid work, job training, or community service with an approved non-profit organization for the number of hours set by your caseworker. To determine if the work requirement applies to you, and to find an approved community service option, you must contact your local County Assistance Office.

    Key Points

    Not a Universal Rule:

    The work requirement does not apply to everyone; there are many exemptions for parents, those with disabilities, and pregnant individuals. “

      “Stephen Miller reacted with intense outrage after witnessing Hakeem Jeffries’ lecture to the Trump Administration on immigration enforcement, leading to a fiery condemnation of Democratic policies.

      “Can you IMAGINE getting a lecture on public safety from the party that has let child r*pists and m*rderers into this country en masse? Do you have any idea how many little girls have been maimed and RÀPED and KÌLLED by the illegal aliens that they let into our country, that they GLEEFULLY allowed into our nation?”

      “And they want to lecture US on public safety? They have destroyed the lives of countless thousands of Americans.”

      “And today, Democrats run sanctuary cities that protect and illegal aliens who have committed the most heinous crimes from deportation.”

      “In every one of these cases, look at the case right here, right here, this CBP officer, his assailant was arrested and released, arrested and released, arrested and released because Democrat policies shield these monsters from deportation by purpose and by design. Their policies are evil. They are intentional. They are malicious.”

      “They hate this country and they want our people to suffer and they have turned migration into a weapon.”

      “And when ICE and Border Patrol go out and conduct these raids, what do they find? Trafficked and enslaved children.”

      “They find offenders with rap sheets that go from here to the other side of the country. State after state, a trail of blood and suffering. And ICE and Border Patrol are getting these monsters out of our country, getting these predators out of our communities.””

    “A process for removing life long Section 8 housing recipients has been drafted

    – People will not be allowed to get Section 8 for more than 2 years

    – October 2025 is when they’re supposed to be doing the budget for 2026, these rules will be sent to the states

    – The states will then notify tenants who have been on Section 8 for longer than 2 years

    – They’ll notify you and give you 60 to 90 days, making you aware that the program would end for you in 60 to 90 days (60 vs 90 days notice will depend on the state)

    – Public housing authority representatives will be making contact with the people who are currently on Section 8 beginning with who have been on the program the longest

    Section 8 will no longer be a lifestyle passed down from generation to generation”

    “Today I’m launching ODNI 2.0 – the first step toward bringing about transformational change that is based on cutting bloated bureaucracy, rooting out deep state actors, and restoring mission focus.

    When implementation is complete, ODNI will be more agile, efficient, and effective, reducing our organization by more than 40%, saving taxpayers $700+ million per year.”

    “ODNI was created 20 years ago because of the egregious intelligence failures of the Islamist terror attack on 9/11, to integrate and oversee the Intelligence Community and provide timely, accurate intelligence that protects national security.

    Two decades later, bloat and inefficiency are rampant across ODNI, and the Intelligence Community is rife with abuse of power, unauthorized intel leaks, and politicized weaponization of intelligence.”

    “For too long, bad actors have exploited and politicized our Intelligence Community to drive agendas that put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people.

    Today, we are announcing serious change to ensure the IC fulfills its responsibility to the American people and the U.S. Constitution.”

    “We are eliminating wasteful spending to ensure ODNI is a responsible steward of American tax dollars, slashing redundant functions and inefficiency, and focusing on our core mission.”

    “It’s official. We have finalized our historic U.S.–EU Framework Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced trade. The EU has agreed to open its $20 Trillion market. The second largest in the world behind the great USA

    This deal:

    ➡️ Eliminates EU tariffs on all U.S. industrial goods,

    ➡️ Creates historic access to the vast European markets for American farmers, fishermen and ranchers,

    ➡️ Delivers $750B in European energy demand during President Trumps term

    ➡️ And EU firms will invest an additional $600B in new investments in America

    The America First Trade Agenda has secured the most important trading partner creating a major win for American workers, U.S. industries, and our national security. Tariffs should be one of America’s favorite words.

    “Yesterday I questioned @JStuartAdams about supporting SB213— a bill that lets 18 year olds who rape children 13 and under avoid prison and the sex offender registry.

    His own grandchild benefitted from this after raping a 13 year old twice, citing this very bill to avoid prison time and registering as a sex offender.

    Instead of answering, Adams crashed out, slammed a door in my face, fled into a “restricted stairwell”, and sent his assistant to try and have me arrested. I was briefly detained, questioned, and I had to fill out a witness form.

    If Adams has nothing to hide and didn’t use his position as Senate Leader to protect his family while weakening penalties for child rapists…Why did he lash out instead of simply answering the question and telling his side of the story?”

    In DC, a plurality of residents view Donald Trump as a more serious problem than crime. Many well-educated, high-income Washingtonians are so fixated on Trump, and have magnified his place in their lives so dramatically, that they see him as a more serious threat than murder. What’s going on?”

  10. “The protection racket surrounding Democrats—deliberately REDACTED as part of a cover-up—is about to be UNREDACTED, soon as tomorrow.

    “There was protection racket that was around Democrats, whether it was Hillary and Bill Clinton or Joe Biden or Hunter Biden. We keep seeing federal agents being denied the right to pursue normal criminal investigations when it came to Democrats. “

    I believe because of the good work of Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, we’re gonna get to see what’s behind those redactions.

    I think it’s gonna shock people. I think we’re gonna see some pretty clear evidence of what the lieutenants working for James Comey were told to do. 

    I think when people see it tomorrow, they’ll get a real shock of just how much evidence the government had and didn’t pursue.””

    “The Biden administration’s policies ripened conditions for criminal trafficking and created a pedophile paradise.”

    https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/21/border-security-is-more-humane-than-giving-migrant-kids-to-strangers-like-biden-did/

    “Federal law requires sponsors of unaccompanied minors to be fingerprinted, get a criminal background check and a home study before keeping a child under their roof. But according to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) data released this week by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), placed 11,488 children with unvetted sponsors who were not their parent or legal guardian, and who were not fingerprinted or did not receive a background check, between Jan. 2021- to Jan. 2025.

    During that same time. the Biden-administration failed to conduct home studies for 79,143 children under age 12, including 1,961 children who were placed where a home study was recommended but not done.“

    HHS regulations require home studies before releasing a child 12 years or younger to a sponsor who is not their parent or legal guardian,” a summary of the data reads. “The Biden-Harris administration ignored this rule and failed to conduct home studies for approximately 10 percent of migrant children who were recommended to have one.”

  15. I like to imagine a world where owners and CEOs have to do work requirements to qualify for a subsidy or tax break

    Most work requirement programs collapse on their own weight — the admin costs is higher than the savings and it simply becomes a way to punish people for being poor.

    Forcing families to move after 2 years creates instability. Public housing should be long term — encourages stability in the neighbourhoods and schools. Moving people after 2 years is just punishing people for being poor and hurts their kids long term chances

  16. The Trump admin has a habit of announcing stuff before it happens. The EU US trade deal has not been finalized, only 3.5 pages; probably another 150 pages to go. And I’m not sure why Trump supporters are so happy about paying more sales tax — how do tariffs qualify as winning??

    https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/tariffs/2025/08/21/us-eu-lock-in-trade-deal-us-official-sees-auto-tariff-relief-in-weeks/

    Speaking of announcing stuff before it happens. Witkoff was announcing security guarantees, territory for peace, a Putin-Zelensky meeting etc and its all gone into the ether. The Russians want more territory than they have even taken, they want a veto on security troops and no European troops, they are calling Zelensky illegitimate and refuse to meet with him. In other words we are the same place as a week ago before the Alaskan fan-boy act.

    I don’t agree with this entirely but its a good read

  18. Living in government subsidized housing is not meant to be a permanent solution. The feed a man a fish vs teach a man to fish principle is supposed to be at play here. Same as Medicaid and food stamps. To do otherwise is to make a society dependent upon a government for their lives and to remove all motivation to provide for oneself and their families.

  19. I’ve been listening to JD Vance speaking in Atlanta now. There was a question from a man in leadership at a trade school. It was heart-warming to hear J.D.’s answer about the benefits to be given to those wishing to pursue that route rather than a traditional four year college. It was also great to hear him speak about bringing safety back to city streets so people might get to enjoy taking their family downtown to enjoy a nice restaurant meal. He said that the rich have never been the ones lacking safety, but is the rest of society that has suffered so greatly from giving criminals more safety than regular citizens get.
