Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up 400% in a year. Their biggest quarter ever. Exxon made $14.5 billion. You paid for all of it at the pump.

Say what you want about Trump. He’s making something great again. And who’s more deserving than Big Oil.

In 2024 he asked them for a billion dollars and promised their whole wish list in return. This morning they collected.

We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis. We don’t have a government of, by, and for the people. We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires”

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right?

[tim russ @timruss2]

Trump announced a subscription service: If you pay HIM 100K per month, you can have access to Federal policies ahead of being implemented, so you can do insider trading. Just when is this shit going to be stopped? How many crimes can any one person commit before it's enough?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

46. He claimed a former president had privately endorsed his handling of the Iran war. Representatives for the four living former presidents said none had held such a conversation with him.
47. He repeated his debunked claim that his 2000 book warned about Osama bin Laden. The book contains no such warning.
48. He said news organizations should be prosecuted for treason for supposedly circulating fake aircraft-carrier footage, while providing no identified example of a news organization fabricating such a video.
49. He says he ended eight wars. His list includes disputes that were not wars, conflicts that had not actually ended and ceasefires whose participants dispute his role.
50. He repeatedly increased the number from six to seven to eight without providing a consistent list or standard for what counts as a war he ended.
51. He says he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan. India says the ceasefire was reached bilaterally and that he was not part of it.
52. He counted Congo and Rwanda among the wars he ended. Fresh fighting broke out weeks later.
53. He counted Kosovo and Serbia. Experts noted that the two countries were not at war.
54. He declared the war in Gaza over. The next phase of the ceasefire did not begin, the parties remained divided over its terms and both sides threatened renewed fighting.
55. He said Greenland was surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships. Officials and regional experts said there was no such ring of ships.
56. He described Greenland as a piece of ice that was difficult to call land. It is the world’s largest island and home to approximately 56,000 people.
57. He said there was no sign of Denmark in Greenland. Denmark has governed Greenland for centuries.
58. He said America paid 100 percent of NATO. The United States accounted for roughly two-thirds of total allied defense spending but only about one-sixth of NATO’s jointly funded budgets.
59. He said the United States never got anything from NATO. NATO has invoked its mutual-defense clause once in its history. It did so for the United States after September 11.
60. Denmark alone lost more than 40 service members fighting alongside the United States in Afghanistan.
61. He said most NATO countries were not paying anything before he became president. Ev member had national defense spending, even when many fell below the alliance’s 2 percent target.
62. He said Barack Obama had been “caught” committing treason. John Durham’s investigation did not charge Obama or establish the alleged conspiracy.
63. Durham charged three other people, produced one guilty plea involving an altered email, and ended with two acquittals.
64. He dismissed evidence pointing toward Iranian-linked hackers and blamed Tim Walz and Minnesota’s supposed incompetence for cyberattacks that struck water systems in several states. He offered no evidence that Walz caused them.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

27. After failing to do so, he said the promise had been sarcastic or made in jest. Fifty-three times of sarcasm.
28. He claimed Ukraine started the war. Russia invaded Ukraine.
29. He used inflated and inconsistent figures to claim America had contributed vastly more to Ukraine than Europe. On total aid allocated by European countries and European Union institutions collectively, Europe had contributed more.
30. He said Russia failed to take Kyiv because its forces avoided the highways. The article he cited described Russian forces invading along the highways.
31. He repeatedly said Biden gave Ukraine $350 billion. That conflated the full cost of Ukraine-related appropriations with money and equipment actually delivered to Ukraine.
32. Official figures for direct military assistance were a fraction of his claim.
33. After repeatedly saying the earlier strikes had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program, he later took the country to war over the continuing threat posed by that same program.
34. An early assessment by the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency concluded that the strikes had set the program back rather than destroyed it.
35. He presented the war as necessary to stop an impending Iranian attack. Pentagon officials told Congress they had not identified evidence that Iran was preparing an imminent attack on the United States.
36. He said half the world might have been eradicated without his intervention. His own intelligence director had testified that Iran had not made a decision to build a nuclear weapon.
37. Nine days into the war, he declared, “We’ve already won.” The fighting continued.
38. On May 1, he formally notified Congress that US hostilities with Iran had “terminated,” even though the broader military confrontation and US operations continued.
39. He said the war was going “swimmingly” as it ground on.
40. He repeatedly declared total victory and then issued new threats against Iran, sometimes contradicting himself within a single day.
41. On June 1, he said he did not care whether negotiations were over. The same day, he posted that talks were continuing at a rapid pace.
42. His administration insisted that continuing military operations did not constitute legally relevant “hostilities,” allowing it to argue that the War Powers deadline no longer applied.
43. He said Iran’s leaders were all gone and “everything” was gone. In the same meeting, he acknowledged that Iran still possessed missiles and drones.
44. He repeatedly claimed Iran’s military capabilities had been entirely eradicated. They had not.
45. He now says Iran has been denuclearized, even though he made essentially the same “obliterated” claim after the earlier strikes and later said Iran remained dangerous enough to justify another war.

BREAKING: Trump's Kennedy Center just canceled its free public tours for the first time in 50 years — because an 87-year-old volunteer told the truth about its Trump-era collapse.

An 87-year-old tour guide told the OBVIOUS truth about the Kennedy Center. Donald Trump's response was to punish everyone.

For the first time in five decades, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has paused its beloved free tour program — and the timing makes the reason unmistakable. The move came directly after longtime volunteer Sandy Weiswasser gave a candid interview to the New York Times describing exactly what Trump's takeover has done to America's national theater.

According to the NY Times article she was quoted in, “Once she was among 140 volunteer guides who gave tours in 10 languages to up to 400,000 people a year. Last week on her Monday shift, only five out of more than a dozen tour guides showed up, and only three people took a tour.”

"This place used to be really thriving and busy and crowded," the 87-year-old Weiswasser told the Times. "Now it's a black hole."

That's it. That's the offense. An elderly volunteer, describing what she's personally witnessed after decades of service, told a reporter the honest truth. Days later, the Kennedy Center's director of the volunteer program quietly announced a "temporary pause" on tours — the exact outcome three separate volunteers had privately worried about before the memo announcing the pause was even circulated, anticipating retaliation.

Petty vindictiveness is who Trump is. Not content with seizing control of one of America's most beloved cultural institutions, purging its board, and driving away artists who refused to perform under his takeover, he's now apparently willing to punish an entire volunteer program, silencing public access to the building itself, because one honest 87-year-old described what everyone can already see.

And remember, this is the same Kennedy Center Trump previously tried to shut down entirely for two years under the guise of "renovations," after his own name change proposal drove away performers in protest. His name was eventually scraped off the building's wall — and now the facade remains hidden under a massive tarp, a fittingly literal metaphor for an institution being suffocated from within.

America's national theater used to belong to everyone. Now it's become a monument to one man's ego and his intolerance for even the gentlest criticism, even from an 87-year-old grandmother simply telling visitors what she's seen with her own eyes.

Please like and share.

Remember Brock Turner? The white boy who raped a girl behind a dumpster and the judge only gave him 6 months because of how it might affect HIM long term.

Luckily, he's had a shit life.

He goes by his middle name, Alan. He still lives in Dayton. He was a landscaper for a bit and then a factory worker. Never competed again and didn't go to back to college and will remain a tier III registered sex offender for the rest of his life.

He should've received more jail time.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

We all knew he was lying about the Reflecting Pool. The problem is that he lies so often that it’s almost impossible to keep up.

So I asked AI to compile claims from just the past twenty-four months and then checked them against official data, contemporaneous reporting and independent fact-checks.

Here is a partial list of 86 lies:
1. He promised to bring prices down “starting on Day One.” Grocery prices remained high and continued rising.
2. After winning, he admitted that prices are very hard to bring down once they have gone up.
3. He said egg prices had fallen 93 percent. They had not fallen remotely close to 93 percent.
4. He said he inherited the highest inflation in American history. He inherited an annual inflation rate of 2.9 percent.
5. When corrected, he changed the claim to the worst inflation in 49 years. That was also false. Annual inflation reached 23.7 percent in 1920.
6. He said there was virtually no inflation during his first term. Consumer prices rose approximately 8 percent.
7. He repeatedly claimed he had already brought inflation down, including during periods when the annual inflation rate was higher than the 2.9 percent reported shortly before he took office.
8. He told Congress inflation was “plummeting.” Prices were still rising overall, including major household expenses such as housing, electricity and medical care.
9. He claimed to have secured $18 trillion in new investment.
10. He then raised the figure to $19.2 trillion.
11. Even the White House’s own tracker listed far less, and its total included multiyear pledges, purchasing agreements, previously announced projects and commitments that might never become actual US investment.
12. He said America was building more factories than ever.
13. He said factory construction was rising.
14. He said the country had achieved its highest growth ever. Manufacturing employment declined, factory-construction claims depended on cherry-picked categories, and economic growth was nowhere near a historical record.
15. He called the country he inherited a dead country. The US economy grew 2.8 percent in 2024, faster than every other major wealthy economy except Spain.
16. He says foreign countries pay his tariffs. American importers pay them and frequently pass the cost on to American consumers.
17. He said the evidence overwhelmingly showed consumers did not pay his tariffs. Economic studies found that American consumers and businesses absorbed nearly all their cost.
18. He said tariff revenue came with “no inflation.” Prices continued rising, and economic research found that the tariffs themselves increased costs for American consumers and businesses.
19. He repeatedly said drug prices were down 70, 80 or 90 percent. No broad measure of prescription-drug prices showed anything close to those reductions.
20. He said Medicaid was “left the same.” The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the legislation would reduce federal Medicaid spending by roughly $930 billion over ten years.
21. He said Americans were “not going to feel any of it.” The Congressional Budget Office projected that the legislation would leave approximately 11.8 million more people uninsured.
22. He said the Medicaid changes touched only waste, fraud and abuse. Independent analyses found that the legislation reduced coverage and federal spending far beyond fraudulent claims.
23. He said he had eliminated taxes on Social Security. The law created a temporary deduction, unavailable to many beneficiaries, that expires after 2028. It did not abolish taxation of Social Security benefits.
24. He said taxes would rise 68 percent without his bill. No credible independent estimate came close to supporting that figure.
25. He then declared, “I’ve kept all my promises and much more.”
26. He publicly promised at least 53 times to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, or even before taking office.

He doesn't care anymore. It's just non-stop, in-your-face corruption.

The latest? If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you advance White House announcements on economic and trade policy.

An insider trading subscription service.

People will go to jail for this.

He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.
