When I mention that Donald Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao--a convicted money launderer for drug cartels--and then made billions in crypto off of him, the important thing to remember is that Hunter Biden sold a painting.
President Trump repeated long-debunked lies while talking about the Supreme Court ruling today on mail-in ballots and the ruling expected tomorrow on birthright citizenship. Quick fact check of some of his claims:
1) Falsely claimed mail-in voting is βreally dishonest"; it's a legitimate voting method used by legitimate voters, including Trump himself. to cast legitimate ballots. All evidence shows fraud rates are tiny even though they're slightly higher than with in-person voting.
2) Falsely described what Jimmy Carter and a Carter-led 2005 commission said about mail-in ballots; Carter didn't say "you can't have them" and the commission didn't say cheating was inevitable when they're used. Though the commission was skeptical of mail-in voting, it also: highlighted how Oregon was holding successful mail-only elections by introducing key safeguards; offered recommendations for making mail-in voting more secure; said further research was needed on the pros and cons.
3) Falsely claimed of bithright citizenship, βWeβre the only nation that does it. No other nation does that birthright citizenship. No one; not even close.β About three dozen countries provide automatic citizenship to people born on their soil, including Canada, Mexico and the majority of South American countries.
4) Claimed, βWeβre the only country in the world that does this type of mail-in ballot.β Didn't explain what he meant by "this type of," so can't call this false, but dozens of countries use mail-in ballots, and several wealthy nations, including Canada, the UK, Germany and Switzerland, allow widespread use of them.

Yesterday Trump falsely claimed that Obama and Biden spent a total of $147 million on renovations for the reflecting pool. Obama spent $35 million. Biden spent nothing. I provide receipts via AP and USASpending gov. In late April Trump said his renovations would cost $1.5 million
The World Cup has made me realize how united we as humans can be. Why are we fighting wars for wealthy men when we could be singing each otherβs national anthems with our arms around one another?
My friend and I stopped by The Lodge at Gulf State Park recently because I wanted to see the new pool area they added. The Lodge is a Hilton beachfront resort located inside Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama. With beautiful Gulf views and plenty of space to relax, this is easily one of the prettiest pool areas Iβve come across along the Gulf Coast.
This is not a sponsored post. We were simply curious and wanted to check it out for ourselves. Hereβs a look at one of the pools.
From the Texas Tribune:
After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"
