According to new reports, Trump's White House personally ordered the Pentagon to give a $620M loan to a company linked to Don Jr.

There's more that you should know about. Watch.
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
In 2015, nine Black parishioners were murdered during a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church—the oldest Black church in the South.
Among them was pastor and Democratic state senator Clementa C. Pinckney.
The killer was a 21-year-old white supremacist.
This is how President Obama responded.
In moments like this, presidents can choose to calm the nation and offer grace... or to inflame divisions and pit Americans against one another.
Don’t let leaders use tragedy to divide us. Don't let them attribute the evil actions of an individual to the entire group.
Not only is that collectivism, it's a tool of manipulation and control.
Reject it.
John Deere is laying off 238 workers at three factories in Iowa. The company said Tariffs and lower commodity prices are to blame.
“Tariff costs in the quarter were approximately $200 million, which brings us to roughly $300 million in tariff expense year to date,” said director of investor relations Josh Beal.”
American Companies and American Consumers Pay the Cost of American Tariffs. Time to Get Back to Free Trade with Free Nations!🇺🇸

Trump's move to cook the jobs numbers - by firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics head - is one more step toward authoritarianism. Truth being replaced by propaganda. This is what the Soviets did.
This is a big deal, and we need to act like it. Time for a fight.
