Just spoke to a guy who said he hates President Trump.

His exact words were, "I think he's absolutely awful."

I asked him who he voted for.

He said, "Trump."

I asked him if he regretted his vote.

He goes, "He's awful, but he's also right."

I didn't get it... "what do you mean that?"

He says:

"He was right about the border. He was right about men in women's sports. He was right about trade. He was right about the media lying. He was right about almost everything they called him crazy for...

...yeah, he's awful, he craps on dead people, ICE is grabbing people off the streets, he brags all the time, and picks so many fights he doesn't need to pick and I think that's dumb, but the alternative was a woman who was the dumbest person I've seen in my entire life, so HELL NO I don't regret my vote."

The conversation went on for awhile longer and we talked about a BUNCH of other things he had no idea about, specifically around ICE and immigration enforcement.

But it is always fascinating to me that even the people who dislike Trump NOW and disliked him EVEN WHEN THEY VOTED FOR HIM... still DO NOT regret their vote for him...

...because the alternative is ALWAYS President Kamala Harris.

And that's an untenable reality for anyone who voted for Trump.

To this day, I have still never, ever met anyone who voted for Trump that regrets their vote for him.

Do you?

Yes, it should never have been given in the first place. Whatever we have to endure they should also. Additionally, they should be subject to all laws that they pass for us to follow, no pension for life or healthcare for life. If it’s’good enough’ for the citizens it’s good enough for Congress and Senate!

[Michelle Nolley @michellenolley]

Sickening. This should not be voted on by them. DOJ should prosecute ANY and that should be public info. Additionally, there should be no taxpayer funds allowed to be used in their defense. No other American has that benefit, they are not above the law!

House Democrats: "Release the Epstein Files, or you're a p*do protector!"

Also House Democrats: "Nooo! We can't expose our fellow House Dems for s*xual misconduct! Protect our p*dos!"

This vote ratio to release the records of every member of Congress who had any form of s*xual misconduct should be an eye-opener. 357-65!

This Epstein nonsense from them was NEVER about the victims. It was about trying to get Trump. Now that they see there's NOTHING in the files that could hurt Trump, they're back to protecting their own fellow perverts.

MIC DROP: Rep. @WesleyHuntTX FIRES BACK at Gavin Newsom’s “I’m like you” 960 SAT remark to a room full of Black voters.

“Gavin, you’re not like me. I studied my butt off to get here!”

“Under no circumstances are you going to just belittle us by assuming that all Black people have a 960 SAT and we could barely read.”

“I had parents who believed in education. We had a sign in our house that said, ‘Jesus + education equals success.’”

“There’s a reason why I earned three master’s degrees in four years from Cornell University. My brother is a Harvard Business School graduate. My sister has her master’s degree in Applied Mathematics. She was a West Point instructor while both my brother and I were cadets, and WE WERE BLACK doing it the entire time.”

“And so when you say that I can’t read and I have a 960 SAT, the insinuation that you are putting on all Black people is that we are a monolith, that this is how you view us.”

“I call it the soft bigotry of low expectations.”

“I think about Hillary Clinton carrying hot sauce in her purse. I think about Joe Biden saying, ‘If you don’t vote for me, then you ain’t Black.’ I think about Kathy Hochul talking about ‘Black kids don’t even know what a computer is.’ And I see these kinds of things, and I just shake my head.”

“I worked my butt off to get here. Hard work, grit, determination, and I’m standing on my own two feet as a Black man that represents a white majority district that President Trump would have won by 20 points, and I won by 25 points because I’m being judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character.”

Truth

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

Here's the truth about Team USA women's hockey's decision to not attend The State of the Union at The White House*

1. Team USA women's hockey knew they were invited to The White House prior to Trump's call with the men's team. They weren't an "afterthought" as many have reported.

2. Many team members found Trump saying "we have to invite the women too or I'll get impeached", humorous, didn't take offense, and knew it was a joke.

3. Jack & Quinn Hughes mother, who is a player development consultant for the women's team, was not offended by Trump's call, nor was she offended by her sons/their team's laughter after Trump's comment.

4. A few players spoke against accepting Trump's invitation to attend The State of the Union in the team chat. I don't know exactly who, but based on past comments and actions, we can speculate Captain Hilary Knight was one of those players. So this decision does have a political element to it.

5. USA Hockey is actively trying to schedule a White House visit after the NCAA/PWHL seasons, because they want the publicity. My opinion, there's no better publicity than now. They're squandering a MASSIVE opportunity, while the men are capitalizing on it, and uniting America around their team.

6. The "academic and professional commitments" excuse has validity, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Accommodations were offered to ensure players could get back to school and prepare for the second half of the PWHL season starting Thursday (NHL resumes Wednesday).

*Majority of this information was provided by an inside source connected to the team & has direct contact with many of it's players

Overall, the women's team could've made this work, but they declined, which means this will go down as the biggest missed opportunity to promote women's hockey in the history of the sport...

For a league (PWHL) actively working to add expansion teams this offseason, and add "franchise level" contracts, this a incredibly poor PR decision.

This!

[Michelle Maxwell ™ @MichelleMaxwell]

Such a great commentary by Janet Elaine Parks on where we should be as a country and @JohnFetterman is the one who put this perspective for both of us. Truly appreciate his honesty.

There was something Senator John Fetterman said recently that deserves attention …not because I agree with him on everything, but because it was honest.

He acknowledged that his own parents support President Trump.

And then he said:

“I love a lot of people that vote for Trump. That’s part of why I refuse to call these people Nazis.”

Read that again…

In today’s political climate, that shouldn’t be controversial. It shouldn’t be brave.
It should be normal…

But it isn’t.

For years now, millions of Americans who voted for President Trump have been labeled:
• Nazis
• Fascists
• Racists
• Threats to democracy
• Evil
• Beyond redemption

And that kind of rhetoric doesn’t just create disagreement …it creates division.

Here’s the truth most people already know deep down:

The overwhelming majority of conservatives, MAGA supporters, and Republicans are not extremists.

At our core, what we want is simple:
• Laws to be followed
• Borders to be secure
• Communities to be safe
• Parents to have a voice
• The Constitution to be respected

You can disagree with policy approaches.
You can debate implementation.
You can argue priorities.

That’s politics.

But reducing tens of millions of Americans to the worst labels imaginable because of a ballot choice?

That’s not moral clarity …that’s lazy demonization.

Step back from the selective outrage for a moment.

Look at your neighbors.
Your coworkers.
Your family members.

Many of them voted differently than you.
Many of them still love this country.
Many of them still want what’s best for their children.

The temperature in this country doesn’t drop until we stop pretending half the nation is evil.

Fetterman didn’t endorse Trump.
He didn’t flip parties.
He simply acknowledged something basic:

People who vote differently from you are still people.

That’s not weakness.
That’s maturity.

We can argue policies without annihilating each other’s humanity.

And if we don’t relearn how to do that, the damage won’t be political ..it will be cultural.

You don’t have to agree with me.
But you should be able to live next to me without thinking I’m a monster.

That’s the standard.

Faith. Family. Freedom.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) just JUMPED SHIP, demanding Senate Democrats stop playing political games and FUND DHS

"ICE already has $75B from the Big Beautiful Bill!"

"This shutdown will will hit FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA and our Cybersecurity Agency!"

"As a Democrat, I can’t vote to shut down critical parts of our government." 💯🇺🇸

[Resist the Mainstream @ResisttheMS]

TUNE IN: Sen. John Kennedy with an absolute mic drop.

"You don't have to be Einstein's cousin. You don't have to be a senior at Caltech to know that illegal immigration is illegal. Duh!"

"Those of us who say that 'no one is above the law' have to concede that people in our country illegally are not above the law either!"

"The law applies to them as well!"

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Every person in America should be required to watch this

“Punishment for entering a country illegally”

- Russia, 2 years in a labor camp
- India, 8 years in prison
- Australia, up to 5 years in prison and mandatory detention before deportation
- Australia, you can't even move there if you want to move there legally without proving your worth
- Mexico, up to 2 years in prison for first-time illegal entry

But USA, of course, congrats. You get free housing, free health care, free food and free cash.

Deportation is not racist. It's called actions meet consequences, something that is foreign to so many Americans these days.

It's so normal everywhere else. And yet here, we, we hate the idea that there is punishment associated with a crime. It is truly phenomenal to watch so many minds be molded and transformed into believing that this is a bad thing, even though, again, all the other countries, it's totally normal”

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) tells Democrats NO, he's NOT shutting down the government this week — and he won't defund DHS OR ICE

Chuck Schumer is FURIOUS!

"I will NEVER vote to shut our government down...I reject calls to defund or abolish ICE."

Fetterman says he'd like to see changes, but he is indicating he will STILL vote to keep the government open if it comes to that — breaking with other Democrats, who want to force a shutdown to get these changes.

Bill needs 60 votes.

Fetterman said here, in November 2025 during the last shutdown: "My party crossed a line."

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

This is the most reasonable, factual, & respectful take I’ve heard regarding the Alex Pretti Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Take a few minutes & give it a listen.

[Michelle Nolley @michellenolley]

As it should be!

[Overton @overton_news]

Senator John Fetterman says he would rather be an honest senator than one who blindly votes with his party.

Even if that means agreeing with President Trump, Fetterman says truth has to come before party loyalty.

FETTERMAN: “I occupy more of a difficult space, where I happen to believe that things are true…and now increasingly that’s getting more and more difficult.”

“Right now, if it happens that I agree with the president or with the other side in this very polarized time.”

“I would rather just be very honest, and just kind of play it straight.”

“I would rather be a great honest Senator than just one that’s only going to play to just one side.”

“I represent Pennsylvania, the most purple state in the country.”

“I don’t just represent Democrats, I represent 13 million Pennsylvanians, and I try to play it straight, and I have to think that’s my responsibility.”

[Brandon Avedikian @bavedikian]

You can’t get a $1 million mortgage if you make $100K/year.

You can’t get a $75K car loan if you make $35K/year.

The fact that you can get $250K in student loans for a college degree where you’re expected to earn $40K/year is unacceptable and a complete failure of US society.

We have 18 year old kids making financial decisions that all but guarantee a lifetime of economic insecurity.

These kids do not have the capacity to understand the implications of the debt they are taking on.

The corrupt university system has successfully convinced them going to college is the “smart thing to do” and that it will all work out.

These colleges should have to take the financial hit when they load up 18 years olds with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that basic math would tell you will never be repaid.

The federal government backstopping all these student loans does nothing but enable colleges to jack up their prices every year with zero accountability.

Shameful.

[RNC Research @RNCResearch]

John Fetterman blows up Democrats' lies about the expiration of Obamacare subsidies.

FETTERMAN: "The Democrats - WE, WE, WE - designed [Obamacare subsidies] to expire... this wasn't something Republicans are taking... that's how WE designed this."

[@Chicago1Ray 🇺🇸 @Chicago1Ray]

Meet Jonathan Gruber~ he invented Obamacare

Called the American people "Stupid" says he wrote the bill in a way, to make sure the (CBO) did not score the mandate as a tax, if they did, the bill dies

The media never showed us this video, so you folks know exactly what to do

[Gina Milan @ginamilan_]

Trump & Epstein—the real story, plain and simple:

2004: Trump permanently banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after learning he preyed on an underage girl at the resort.

2005: Trump personally alerted authorities about Epstein’s behavior while Palm Beach elites stayed silent.

2009: Trump provided crucial information to the victims’ attorneys, strengthening the case against Epstein.

2017: Trump signed a sweeping Executive Order to crush global child-trafficking networks and online sex exploitation.

2019: Epstein was arrested by federal agents under Trump’s DOJ.

2019: FBI raided Epstein’s Little St. James island, uncovering decades of elite-enabled abuse.

2025: New Epstein files released.

Trump was the first high-profile figure to sever ties, expose Epstein, and take action, years before Hollywood, politicians, or the media finally woke up.

No spin needed. The timeline tells the truth.

When Trump calls this a Democrat hoax, he’s 100% right. Again.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill O’Reilly sums up the Democrats’ Epstein strategy to smear Donald Trump with 3 devastating words.

Once Stephen A. Smith heard this, he was in full agreement, calling O’Reilly’s point “incredibly important.”

O’REILLY: “What we see today is a bunch of innuendo. It’s hearsay. There isn’t any direct backup for any allegation because there aren’t any allegations other than Trump may have been in a house where there were some girls.

“Okay, so you have the lady in question. And I feel very bad for Ms. Giuffre’s family. She committed suicide...You have her saying under oath, Trump didn’t do anything.

“And you have Maxwell, but here’s the most important person you have — not under oath: Dershowitz. Dershowitz was Epstein’s lawyer, and lawyer–client confidentiality ends with death.

“Dershowitz went on television today, said, I have all of the Epstein stuff, and there isn’t anything. And I asked Epstein directly while I was representing him whether Donald Trump was involved in any kind of untoward activity. And Epstein said no.

“So now you have the three principal players in this case (Dershowitz, Maxwell, Giuffree) all saying the same thing, yet the press is so irresponsible, so corrupt, so hateful, they will not even mention that.

“It’s DEATH BY INUENDO. That is what they are aiming for.”

CUOMO: “Stephen A., what do you think?”

SMITH: “I get that. And I think that what Bill said and just articulated is incredibly important. It is death by innuendo.”
