Americans support Donald Trump restoring Washington DC

The large cascading fountain with 13 basins has been dry for nearly a decade

“I’m at Malcolm X Park, and this is the most I've ever seen people here, and I'm pretty sure it's because Trump turned the water back on. And you gotta give the man credit, he does have a vision in terms of making things in America pretty.”

The fountain was recently turned back on as part of a National Park Service restoration project

It was originally shut off for planned rehabilitation of the lower plaza, but engineers discovered major issues like failing pumps, leaking cast-iron pipes, and extensive concrete damage

So the simple repair turned out it be a huge project. So they did nothing

Donald Trump fixed it for the public despite extensive work and the cost being around $15–16 million

🚨 “WHAT A CLAP BACK!” Fox News host praises President Trump for calling out ‘third-rate’ artists withdrawing from America 250 concert, adding he’ll make a speech instead

“What a clapback to all these performers who committed to a major event and then just backed out,” says Fox’s @aishahhasnie.

Fox panelist @briannalyman2: “Yeah, I agree with the President that a lot of them were third rate artists who may have been in their heyday 30-40 years ago. They’re certainly not in their prime now.”

“I’d rather President Trump sent a team down to Nashville and gets a local band of up and coming artists who is more talented than these artists and more patriotic as they’d kill for an opportunity to perform at this event.”

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says he's about to REPLACE the "third rate" America250 artists who've been canceling their performances with a DONALD TRUMP RALLY in DC instead

TRUMP RALLY TIME! 🔥

"By copy of this TRUTH, I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, D.C., same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited — It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America!"🇺🇸

"I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate “Artists,” and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!"

"Two years ago, the United States was DEAD. Now we have the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. I don’t want so-called “Artists” that get paid far too much money, who aren’t happy. I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN"

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump UNLEASHES and says it’s time for a MAGA RALLY on America250 instead of “overpriced singers who nobody wants to hear”

“We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, instead of having overpriced singers who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain.”

“Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center!”

“Because a Highly Conflicted, Crooked Federal Judge, said that I should not be allowed to spend my time and money in order to MAKE THE CENTER GREAT AGAIN, actually, far greater than it ever was before!”

“It would have also been nice to see a Republican/Democrat union bring it back to life. The Kennedy Center is broken, unsafe, and busted, and has been for many years! Judge Cooper also stated that the highly prestigious Board of the Center was not authorized to add on the name “TRUMP” despite the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars of my time and money will be necessary for its successful reincarnation. So now, the Kennedy Center will collapse, both structurally and financially. Judge Cooper and his wife, Amy Jeffress (obfuscation anyone?), should be ashamed of themselves. Judge Cooper, like numerous other Crooked Judges on my cases, should be IMPEACHED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Elon Musk cried on national television when his childhood heroes called him a fraud.

Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, the first and last men to walk on the moon, publicly testified against SpaceX. They said Musk was reckless. That private spaceflight was dangerous. That he was going to get people killed. They asked Congress to shut him down.

These were the men Musk grew up worshipping. The posters on his wall. The reason he built rockets in the first place. And they went on television and said he was a disgrace to space exploration.

In a 60 Minutes interview shortly after, Musk was asked about it. He started speaking and his voice broke. His eyes filled. He couldn't finish the sentence. The richest man in tech, the guy who argues with regulators and fires engineers mid-meeting, sat on camera and cried because his heroes rejected him.

He didn't stop building. He didn't change direction. He didn't even respond to them publicly. He just kept launching rockets until the rockets proved him right.

Armstrong never lived to see SpaceX land a booster. Cernan never saw Starship. The men who said it couldn't be done died before the man they doubted did it.

Most people need approval from the people they admire before they act. Musk got the opposite of approval and acted anyway. That's the gap. Not talent. Not money. The willingness to keep building while the people you love most tell you to stop.

[Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful @kevinolearytv]

We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions.

I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it.

Omygoooooooodnesss!!!!! WHY have i never seen this before?!? What an awesome idea!!!

Can you imagine as a prerequisite all seniors choose a kindergartners to mentor and teach....... teaching the seniors patience and pride, and the kindergartners have someone to look up to ( not in their family)

And when the seniors graduate, the kindergartners will graduate with them (into first grade)

That would be an AWESOME program!

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places.

At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction.

Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that.

He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building.

I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left.

I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders.

What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration.

In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years.

I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter.

I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial.

At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not.

Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me.

Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness.

But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford.

People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war.

But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges.

By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business.

It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

Fun Fact of the Day: These Four Republicans Byron Donalds (FL-19), Wesley Hunt (TX-38), John James (MI-10), and Burgess Owens (UT-4) represent majority white congressional districts, and NOT one of them was allowed to join the Black Congressional Caucus.

Are they not black enough? 🤔

I’m starting to think the democrats are being very disingenuous about all this talk of black people being unable to be elected or represented, the black vote being repressed, and the “Jim Crow 2.0” bullshit. 🤨

🚨 This week Elon posted "my son is learning Mandarin" in Chinese characters from Beijing..

that same day.. 6-year-old X Æ A-Xii was standing inside the Great Hall of the People in a traditional vest and tiger-head bag..

in the same room as Tim Cook.. Jensen Huang.. and Chinese Premier Li Qiang..

and the wildest part..

Elon didn't bring him as a photo op.. he brought him as a student.. China is Tesla's single largest market.. the Shanghai Gigafactory builds more cars than any other Tesla plant on earth.. and Elon's 6-year-old is already in the room where the deals get made..

this is the same playbook every single time..

Elon brought kids to White House events.. to factory floors.. to rocket launches.. and described one son as his "emotional support human" at a state dinner.. he doesn't separate family from business.. he treats global market access as parenting..

your kid is learning multiplication tables..

his kid is learning Mandarin inside the building where America's most important trade relationships get decided.

I'll share more updates shortly. Turn on notifications, this is very important.
