FOX News really thinks that 7 million NO KINGS protesters were paid $500 per day each to protest against Trump:
“You’ve gotta get permits. You gotta get police out there. You gotta get the signs. You gotta get the messaging out. To have millions of people out there, that is not a cheap endeavor. And I’ll also say that there is a company called ‘crowds on demand’ that has a CEO and you can pay them to go out and protest for you. Up to $500 a day you can make as a paid protester. This is the reality we’re in. So the question mark is, ‘where did the money come from.’”
They have serious DDS (Democrat Delusion Syndrome).

BREAKING: A horrifying six-month investigation from NBC News discovers that a "large swath" of the U.S. population does not have the "basic, ground-level immunity necessary" to stop the spread of previously defeated viruses.
The anti-vaxxers are about to unleash a plague on us all...
“As childhood vaccination rates fall, we’ll see more diseases like measles. And we’ll see more children die — tragically — from diseases that are essentially entirely preventable," said Dr. Sean O’Leary, an infectious diseases expert at the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The NBC investigation, which was conducted in collaboration with Stanford University scientists, discovered that the "vast majority of counties" are experiencing declines in childhood vaccination. The analysis was based on data gathered from state governments as well as public record archives.
The study focused on the "core" childhood vaccines for diphtheria, measles, mumps, polio rubella, and whooping cough and the results were deeply alarming. One "key finding" as described by NBC News was that a "large swath" of Americans do not have the "basic, ground-level immunity" needed to stop the spread of measles, which explains why it has been resurgent.
Since 2019, 77% of counties and jurisdictions have experienced dramatic declines in childhood vaccinations. The reason why is no mystery. The Republican Party, best exemplified in anti-science hacks like Health Secretary RFK Jr., has been waging all out war on vaccines. The MAGA base has become radicalized against these life-saving miracles and now Republican politicians are pandering to that mass delusion.
“In a situation of doubt, it’s just easier to be inactive. It’s easier to say, ‘Well, if there’s any question, I’m just not going to do it,’" said Bill Winfrey, the vice president of policy and strategic initiatives at Saint Louis Integrated Health Network. He said that the growing doubts about vaccinations are being caused in part by rhetoric from the "most trusted health officials in the country."
And the problem is only getting worse, because there is a rise in so-called vaccine exemptions for school children. 53% of counties and jurisdictions have seen a doubling in exemption rates since they first started collecting data on the issue.
In those states which have collected data for the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, a staggering 68% of counties now have immunization rates under 95%, which is the threshold for herd immunity. Herd immunity is crucial for preventing dangerous outbreaks.
NBC News discussed the city of St. Louis specifically to give a more granular understanding of the study's finding. Shockingly, the childhood vaccination for students starting kindergarten has dropped from 91.6% in the 2010-2011 school year to 75.9% in 2024-2025. Requests for exemptions spiked from 0.3% to 3.4%.
In 2010, 90% of kindergartners in Sit. Louis had received the MMR shots. Now the number is closer to 74% — which is lower than the 77% rate in Gaines County, Texas where a 2025 measles outbreak began. In other words, cities like St. Louis have become ticking time bombs for deadly disease explosions.
"That’s a heavy, heavy fact. We’re just in a waiting phase before measles comes and rocks the state of Missouri," said Virginia Wilson, head nurse at the Premier Charter School in St. Louis.
The story here is one of pernicious, mercenary politicking. Republican politicians are aiming to please their increasingly deranged base and at the same time they score the double benefit of further inflaming the culture war. By keeping conservatives focused on vaccine conspiracy theories and other manufactured concerns, they keep voters from worrying about inflation, stagnant wages, climate change, or the $1 trillion that Republicans just cut from Medicaid. The culture war distracts from the class war they're waging on us all.

News just broke that the Venezuelan boat that Trump struck was not, in fact, headed to the U.S. with drugs.
But this story is disturbing for other reasons, and you need to know why. It's another sign of Trump's growing lawlessness. And it's bad counter-narcotics strategy.

She’s in that race to the bottom of the worst congressional representatives ever elected. Their constituents have their heads buried in the sand.
She’s gearing up for her governorship campaign. Dubious donors will support her in order to keep her constituents perpetually poor and in the dark.
I found out about Charlie Kirk by a bunch of MAGA friends claiming their democratic friends were celebrating his death. I searched my entire Facebook l and only found democratic friends condemning political violence. This is a problem.
