Hitler used “Bolsheviks” and “communists” almost interchangeably with “the Jews.” That was a relatively short time after the actual Bolshevik Revolution.

McCarthy’s red scare was during the Cold War.

Scalise’s excuse is Mamdani. It’s so embarrassing.

Kyle Kulinski: “The president is a blackmailed pedophile. Nobody should be surprised when he continues to do literally anything and everything Netanyahu wants cause Mossad has a thick file on him that they’re willing to dump if he isn’t their fucking bitch. That’s where we are”

Benny Johnson tells an agreeing Sen. Eric Schmitt that "the left is setting themselves up, they're training, they're ready to try and stage a mass slaughter event"

"Yeah," Schmitt replies. "They're drawing federal officers out and then they have snipers."

Hunter Biden on Trump: “We’re living under a dictatorship right now. It’s less Adolf Hitler because he’s not as concentrated as that. It’s more Idi Amin. It’s buffoonery, complete and utter incompetence. On top of a giant grift of the likes no one in the world has ever seen”

You want voter ID? Great. Provide it to everyone free of charge. Otherwise, it’s a poll tax. We outlawed those with the 24th Amendment in 1964.

a deluded Trump makes clear there is no end in sight to his quagmire in Iran

During an event today, Trump lashed out at a reporter who accurately pointed out to him that Iran shows no signs of being defeated ("You don't know anything"), said he's "honored" to go to Dover for the transfer of the remains of soldiers who were killed, and threatened a further escalation, saying "they haven't seen anything yet" and "we've been nice."

He concluded by asserting that "truly, it's the golden age of America."

Here's a supercut of Trump's latest bizarro world rants:

Yet another smoking gun:
Trump "told one advisor that Blanche needed to grasp that he didn't really care whether [Letitia James] was ultimately convicted. The ... goal was to drag [her] into court ... 'I want to make her life miserable.'"

🚨🚨🚨Kash Patel going to Russia for the October surprise to give Putin voting data. Google Guciffer 2.0

They’re doing a replay of the 2020 election.

After Trump lost in November 2020 he fired Mark Asper and replaced him with Chris Miller. Patel was his chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense. They denied the National Guard 14 times.

I’d watch the resurgence of QAnon and feeding disinfo to MAGA

Freudian Slip!

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Acting Director Russell Vought accidentally said the quiet part out loud:

“I work for President Trump, not the American people.”

That mindset is clearly evident in how the agency has gutted consumer protections in favor of industry and Trump donors.

Since Trump took office, the CFPB has:

• Overturned the overdraft fee cap — The Biden-era rule (which aimed to save consumers ~$5 billion per year with options like a $5 cap for large banks) was repealed by Congress via the Congressional Review Act in 2025. The CFPB is now barred from issuing substantially similar rules.

• Rolled back price transparency and junk fee protections — This includes credit card late fees (the prior $8 cap proposal was blocked/vacated in 2025). The CFPB has since issued an RFI in July 2026 but has largely stepped back from aggressive action.

• Dismissed or withdrew from 19–20 public enforcement actions.

• Dramatically reduced new settlements and relief — Critics estimate this shift (plus dropped cases) has cost American consumers $19 billion in potential relief in the first year alone.

• Closed 76% of supervisory actions (~1,500) and significantly scaled back examinations.

• Pursued broad deregulation — Withdrew over a dozen final or proposed rules and nearly 70 guidance documents. Prioritized rescinding or reconsidering prior rules (e.g., Small Business Lending Data Collection under Section 1071).

• Saw complaint volume surge to 6.6 million in 2025 (doubling prior years, largely driven by credit reporting issues), while consumer resolution/relief rates dropped sharply.

Just a gentle reminder that if you see a friend struggling, the onus is on you to reach out and ask how they’re doing or if the need help. Not the other way around.

Can you imagine watching a person drowning and saying, “Well, they’re not asking me for help so I’ll just sit and wait until they do so.”

That would be insane behavior and blames the drowning person. The same goes for a friend you see hurting or struggling.

Be a good friend. Don’t be a dick.

This is absolutely nuts!

"Mitch McConnell’s staff have declined to answer basic questions about what work he is doing—37 days after he was loaded into the back of an ambulance and vanished from public view.

His staff, led by $226,000-a-year longtime aide Terry Camack, refused to even say if the senator had spoken to any of them in recent days."

[West Lord @MyWestLord]

Billionaire David Rockefeller came from the family that ran the world for 100 years and in 1995 he explained how, on camera, smiling.

His grandfather John D. Rockefeller was the richest American in history, and by the time David sat down with Charlie Rose, the family had spent a century inside banks, museums, universities and the White House itself.

He had no title and no office, just 35 years at the top of Chase Manhattan and a habit of knowing everyone 200,000 index cards on 100,000 people he’d met personally.

Then he started talking, and every answer was a demonstration of quiet power.

New York’s new deputy mayor for development turned out to be his old colleague, and Rockefeller admitted he “did have a little to say in persuading him to come” meaning he placed a man inside City Hall and mentioned it mid-sentence, like weather.

The mayor was now meeting 6 corporate executives every 2 weeks to discuss the city, in a room Rockefeller himself built through his New York City Partnership.

Then a museum needed a federal building, the Customs House, and the chairman told him only 1 person on earth could unlock it the President.

So Rockefeller saw the President and mentioned it, and the museum opened the very day of this interview.

City Hall, a federal building, the White House all in 1 hour of conversation.

Clinton was still 2 months from inauguration when this unelected 77-year-old laid out the agenda on air: cut capital gains, raise the gas tax, give business “a fair deal.” He’d founded the Trilateral Commission and chaired the Council on Foreign Relations, and presidents had taken his calls for 50 years.

People built entire conspiracy theories around him secret meetings, shadow governments, world control and 10 years later in his memoirs he answered them himself: “If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

The strangest part was never the secrecy, because there was none.
He told you exactly how it worked, on television, and nobody could do anything about it.

He never ran for anything he never had to.

I get a sense that Hunter "unplugged" is him saying a whole lot of what his dad wanted and wants to say but for obvious reasons, cannot. I took note when he said Merrick Garland was his dad's biggest mistake.
I love both of the Biden men for this new dynamic and I think we are just getting started.

An ICE officer is trained for 71 days. It takes 150 days to become a certified pet stylist at Petco. One grooms dogs… the other carry’s guns. This is what’s wrong with our country.
