Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "If we have a big screwworm infestation—which we will not, we're on top of it..."

The screwworm has returned to the US after 60 years after Trump and DOGE eliminated a program to contain the flesh-eating parasite.

So he has completely DESTROYED the South lawn of the White House and has KILLED old growth trees.

TRUMP DOESN'T OWN THE WHITE HOUSE he should not be ALLOWED to do this or else he should USE HIS OWN MONEY TO RESTORE IT !

FYI this is the test Trump is bragging about “acing” 4 times

It’s a fucking embarrassment that his handlers are still letting him gloat about this like it’s some extreme act of intellect

Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery.

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

“Trump spent six hours on Saturday afternoon having a manic episode - furiously posting self-aggrandizing memes meant to appeal to his followers and demean his political opponents.

He did this, of course, in lieu of brokering any sort of peace deal with Iran - and his meltdown was surely noticed by those he wages unprovoked and illegal war against; as well as our allies, who are having to cope with an unhinged POTUS seemingly grounded at the White House while undergoing whatever medical treatments are being shielded from the public view.

To say it is uncharacteristic for him to not be on a golf course for the last two weekends in May would be an understatement. Not surprisingly, he covered over his unacknowledged infirmity by going on a xenophobic hate spree.

The central pitch of the MAGA movement is that immigrants are taking away money and resources from real Americans and destroying communities that are the backbone of patriotic, wholesome, red, white and blue life. The images POTUS posted buttressed this despicable and false narrative.

Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to their reactionary theme: Trump’s war on immigration, spearheaded by Stephen Miller (as odious as a wood grub without the charm and social skills), is a national disgrace.

Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, is a tiny, rancid man who is causing huge problems for a nation that prided itself as being a beacon of freedom.”https://t.co/1ulQFV6Odg

Trump pardoned 77 people that stole from Medicare.

This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.

For 8 years, people at Morgan Stanley called Rick Rescorla paranoid.

Then September 11th proved he was right.

Rick was a decorated Vietnam veteran who became Head of Security for Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center.

In 1990, he walked through the underground parking garage and quietly warned:

“Someone could park a truck bomb here and bring this whole place down.”

Executives dismissed the concern as excessive.

Then came February 26, 1993.

A truck bomb exploded in the World Trade Center parking garage almost exactly where Rick predicted.

Six people died.
Over 1,000 were injured.

The evacuation was chaos.

Rick watched terrified employees stumble through smoke-filled stairwells for hours with no real preparation.

Afterward, he made a decision.

Morgan Stanley employees would practice evacuation drills every three months.

All 2,700 of them.

No exceptions.

People hated it.

The company occupied floors 44 through 74 of the South Tower.

That’s a very long walk down when you have meetings, deadlines, and places to be.

Employees complained constantly.

“He’s obsessed.”
“This is unnecessary.”
“He’s paranoid.”

Rick didn’t care.

He timed every evacuation.
Studied bottlenecks.
Adjusted routes.
Ran the drills again.

And during the drills, he sang old military songs to keep people calm while they descended the stairwells.

For 8 years, people rolled their eyes at him.

Then came September 11, 2001.

8:46 a.m.

The North Tower was hit.

An announcement in the South Tower told people to remain at their desks because the building was secure.

Rick ignored it.

He grabbed a bullhorn and ordered:

“Everyone out. Now.”

Then he personally directed employees through the stairwells floor by floor.

And he sang.

The same songs people once mocked during drills suddenly became the sound keeping frightened people calm as they escaped.

At 9:03 a.m., the South Tower was struck.

Rick was still inside helping people evacuate.

His coworkers begged him to leave.

He refused.

“As soon as everyone’s out.”

By 9:45 a.m., nearly all 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees had escaped safely.

Rick could have saved himself.

Instead, he turned around and went back up.

Searching for anyone left behind.

Before the tower collapsed, he called his wife one final time.

“If something happens to me, I want you to know you made my life.”

At 9:59 a.m., the South Tower collapsed with Rick still inside.

Final numbers:

Morgan Stanley employees inside that morning:
~2,700

Survived:
~2,687

Most of the 13 lost were in the direct impact zone where no evacuation could have reached them in time.

Rick Rescorla died alongside members of his security team while trying to save others.

But here’s the important part:

Rick didn’t save those people on September 11th.

He saved them for 8 years before it happened.

He saved them every time he forced another evacuation drill.
Every time people mocked him.
Every time he prepared anyway.

The coworkers who thought he was paranoid went home to their families because one man refused to stop taking danger seriously.

Sometimes preparation looks ridiculous until the day it looks like survival.

And sometimes the people everyone dismisses are the only ones truly paying attention.

Rick Rescorla died in the stairwell doing what he had trained for nearly a decade.

And thousands of ordinary lives continued because he never stopped preparing for the day nobody believed would come.

“If the full unredacted Epstein files were to be released, the world would know in an instant that Trump not only abused under-aged girls, he trafficked them along with his best friend and associate for well over a decade, Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell, of course, knows this - and it is why Todd Blanche visited her in prison, arranged for her cushy transfer and probable commutation of her sentence, if not an outright pardon.

They met to get their stories straight and protect the boss. My friend who was groomed by Trump, who began flirting with her when she was twelve years-old and taking figure skating lessons at his ice rink in Central Park, later told me of the awful crimes Trump and Epstein perpetrated in his NYC townhouse, knows how prominent a role Ghislaine played in the operation. So do many other survivors.

As does Melania Trump, who often partied with Ghislaine around town at events, and was no stranger to the underworld and deviant proclivities of Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. No matter how dumb she plays it regarding the matter now.

Trump’s own children and his one living ex-wife all understand the dynamics and criminal exposure of their father should more of the Epstein files be released.

None of them will talk, or lift a finger on behalf of justice for the thousands of victims. Vanky herself swam in the same circles as a teenage model signed by Elite Models’ founder John Casablancas, with the blessings of her own father.

One must ask why the story went away so quickly in the mainstream media - after Melania’s bizarre presser at the White House concerning the Epstein files and the insinuations regarding the ex-girlfriend of Paolo Zampolli.

Zampolli had a modeling business that clearly served as a front for sex trafficking young women and girls to wealthy clients, of which Jeffrey Epstein was in fact a partner.

He now holds an official position in the current administration, as U.S. Special Representative for Global Partnerships. Does giving such a man a prominent role feel like the actions of a POTUS who is innocent, or a passive player in the Epstein files?”https://t.co/dcDESHUIWd

My daughter works at a gas station. Night shift. Pays her college tuition. She called me crying last Tuesday. Said a woman came in at 2 AM. Three kids asleep in her car. Counted change for gas. $4.18. Asked how far that would get her. My daughter said she was running. You could see it. The fear. The bruises. My daughter filled her tank. Gave her $30 from the register. Her own money. Said the woman grabbed her hands and just cried. My daughter’s 19. Works minimum wage.

"Circa early 2018, somewhere in the quiet of his beloved Cornville, Arizona ranch, John McCain — living with the knowledge that his days were growing shorter — made a decision that was so perfectly, mischievously, achingly him that it made the whole country smile through their tears when they finally heard about it: he picked up the phone and called Barack Obama, the man who had defeated him for the presidency a decade earlier, and asked him to speak at his funeral. Obama later said that when that call came, he felt 'sadness and also a certain surprise' — and then, with the warmth that defined him, he recognized exactly what McCain was doing, telling mourners at the Washington National Cathedral on September 1, 2018 that the invitation showed McCain's 'irreverence, his sense of humor, a little bit of a mischievous streak' — because, as Obama put it to a cathedral that erupted in laughter through their grief, 'what better way to get a last laugh than to make George and I say nice things about him to a national audience?' It was John McCain's final act of political theater, and it was genius — choosing the two men who had each defeated him for the presidency to stand before the nation and celebrate his life, sending a message louder than any speech he could have given himself: that in America, rivalry and respect are not opposites, that the man you run against can still be the man you trust with your legacy, and that decency is not weakness but the most durable form of strength. Obama stood at that altar and told the packed cathedral that McCain had 'made this country better,' that he had made Obama a better president, and that when all was said and done, despite every disagreement, 'we never doubted the other man's sincerity or the other man's patriotism' — and in the front pew, Cindy McCain wept, because her husband had arranged, from the very edge of his life, one last beautiful lesson in what it means to be an American.

In 2013, Canadian web developer Stuart Duncan created Autcraft, a private Minecraft server designed mainly for autistic children and teens who struggled with bullying, exclusion, and social isolation online.

Inspired by his own experiences with autism, Duncan built the community as a safe place where players could make friends, express themselves, and socialize without fear of harassment.

As the server rapidly grew into a global support community for neurodivergent players and their families, Duncan eventually left his regular job to focus on running Autcraft full-time.

Today, the server is widely recognized as one of the internet’s most positive gaming communities, helping thousands of autistic players find friendship, confidence, and acceptance through Minecraft.

We’re about to pay Iran billions of dollars to open the Strait that was open before the war, and to hand over the highly enriched uranium they didn’t have before Trump pulled out of the JCPOA.

Art of the deal, baby.

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

“Trump preys on vulnerable and demented psyches because he feels a kinship with the broken; the con man always understands the instincts of the mark. In Trump’s case, imploring others to violence is merely a cost of doing business and achieving his personal objectives.

And he knows how and when to keep his mouth shut after it happens, or paint himself as the true victim. He has done this over his entire career - and certainly in regard to all of the convenient deaths that seem to follow his rise to power.

An arc of atrocity for which he alone always benefits. It has of course moved well beyond his unlucky Atlantic City casino executives boarding a rented helicopter on a one way trip to a fatal crash on a Garden State Parkway median strip - to attacks on anyone who stands in his way, domestically or internationally.

POTUS’s Pentagon is summarily executing innocent fisherman in the waters off the coast of South America seemingly for target practice, but the real reason is to put on a menacing, imperialist show of force.

DJT’s attack on Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro was an extension of this mobster mentality. He went in for the oil - and openly brags about how much money the move has made him.

Trump is using warfare on multiple fronts to distract from his role in the Epstein files, his plummeting poll numbers and most importantly for him, as a chance to further enrich his family - by manipulating markets and self-dealing to his sons with Department of Defense contracts.

The leader of the free world is using this long holiday weekend for another round of ‘will I strike a deal or obliterate Iran?’ game show style diplomacy; its only purpose is to extend his own crime spree. The latest deal he has announced is essentially a retreat as he wants to be done and to move on to Cuba, and perhaps Greenland, as insane as that sounds.

The Middle East will be much more unstable and dangerous in perpetuity, while he and his brood have stuffed their pockets, abused our service members and allowed thousands to be killed on the whim of a geriatric drug addict.” https://t.co/dcDESHUIWd

I looked at the Counties Massie elections results Anomaly is In **Bracken, Carroll, and Carter**, county. ⬅️⬅️⬅️🚨
MASSIE has historically WON these In the 2022 election, Massie won these places with **70%+** of the vote….
But Massie somehow drops from **70%+** (historical reality) to **42-43%** in a rural Republican stronghold is **impossible”…… these are all RURAL🚨⬅️

Here is where its interesting … **Lewis County:** Massie leads (63.0% vs 37.0%). This is the **ONLY** truly rural county where Massie is winning.

The data shows Gallrein winning **every** county by a specific, narrow band (52%-64%), **EXCEPT** for the "Deep Rural" Lewis which is a real outlier. ⬅️🚨

——

Also look at Look at the **Boone** vs. **Bracken** comparison.🚨🚨🚨

- **Boone:** 10,947 votes. (Large). Gallrein 55%.
- **Bracken:** 657 votes. (Tiny). Gallrein 56.3%.
The "Gallrein Percentage" is **nearly identical** (55-57%) regardless of county size, population density, or historical voting trends.

The fact that a small, 600-vote county and a 10,000-vote county both show Gallrein at exactly 55-57% proves the **Data was generated, not counted**.
——

Here is more MATHEMATICAL UNUSUAL anomalies 🚨🚨🚨🚨 these 4 DIFFERENT COUNTIES - The reason this is significant is that these 4 counties are geographically separate and have different population sizes, yet they all voted for the challenger (Gallrein) within a very narrow band of only 8.5 points,🚨🚨🚨

I calculated the 8.5 percentage point spread by taking the specific percentages Ed Gallrein received in each small county and finding the difference between the highest number and the lowest number.

Bracken County
Gallrein Votes: 657
Total Votes: 1,167
Percentage for Gallrein: 56.3%

Carroll County
Gallrein Votes: 557
Total Votes: 969
Percentage for Gallrein: 57.5%

Robertson County
Gallrein Votes: 137
Total Votes: 228
Percentage for Gallrein: 60.1%

Carter County
Gallrein Votes: 214
Total Votes: 330
Percentage for Gallrein: 64.8%

The Calculation of the 8.5 Point Range:

To find the range, I subtracted the lowest winning percentage from the highest winning percentage:
Highest Percentage: 64.8% (Carter)
Lowest Percentage: 56.3% (Bracken)
The Math: 64.8 - 56.3 = 8.5%

——

Let me show you 2022 now for those counties ..

Compare it to 2022 Republican Primary numbers
against the 2026 Primary results.

Bracken County:
2022 Opponents (Combined): 106 votes (Wirth 65 + McDowell 22 + Washington 19).
2026 Opponent (Gallrein): 657 votes.
The Deduction: In four years, the opposition vote increased by 551 votes, which is a growth rate of 519%. It is physically impossible for a rural county pool of opposition voters to grow by over 500%.

Carroll County:
2022 Opponents (Combined): 114 votes (Wirth 61 + Washington 29 + McDowell 24).
2026 Opponent (Gallrein): 557 votes.
The Deduction: The opposition vote grew by 443 votes, which is a growth rate of 388%.

Robertson County:
2022 Opponents (Combined): 31 votes (Wirth 11 + Two 10s).
2026 Opponent (Gallrein): 137 votes.
The Deduction: The opposition vote grew by 106 votes, which is a growth rate of 341%.

Carter County:
2022 Opponents (Combined): 104 votes.
2026 Opponent (Gallrein): 214 votes.
The Deduction: The opposition vote grew by 110 votes, which is a growth rate of 106%.

In a normal election, opposition growth matches overall population growth (1-3%). Massie's opposition grew by 300% to 500%. There is a massive injection of "Ghost Votes" into the GALLERINS column.

I analyzed Thomas Massie's raw vote counts in 2022 versus 2026. In a "record turnout" year, the incumbent should gain votes, not lose them.

Trump’s DOJ just barred the government from ever investigating Trump, his family, or any of his businesses for any of the crimes that could have been charged in this case.

So much for no one is above the law, huh?
