Kelly: "When Trump was bankrupting the Taj Mahal casino, I was taking fire over Iraq... When Trump was writing birthday messages to Epstein, I was the first to arrive at the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts... When Trump was promoting conspiracy theories against President Obama, I was sitting beside my wife's hospital bed... I've been through much worse in service to my country. The president and Pete Hegseth will not silence me."
NEW: The presidential television pool has been SUSPENDED after major networks refused to participate following the White House’s ban on CNN.
ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News have halted their pool coverage in protest, meaning no major television network is currently providing the usual pooled coverage of President Trump’s public events.
My friend took his 4-year-old daughter to Urgent Care on a Sunday for a high fever and a bad cough.
They were in the building for 35 minutes. A nurse took her vitals, and a doctor spent 4 minutes looking in her throat before prescribing generic amoxicillin.
The total bill came out to $1,240.
His insurance plan paid $180. The rest went straight to his "in-network deductible."
He called the billing department to ask how 4 minutes with a doctor costs $1,060 out of pocket.
The representative said: "That’s the pre-negotiated rate set by your insurer."
We built a healthcare system where paying $500 a month for coverage doesn't cover medical care…… it just buys you the right to be charged thousands for a 5-minute visit.
Taylor: "The day I decided to resign from that administration, one of my mentors from Capitol Hill, John McCain, died. Flags were lowered across the country, and the president was trying to call us in Australia, on the other side of the world, to tell us: Don't issue a statement honoring John McCain, raise the flags. I don't care whether you agree with John McCain or disagree with him, like Bob Mueller, he served this country in uniform, and he was a U.S. senator. He deserved to be honored with the flags lowered, but for the president of the United States to be so petty, so small and petty, to order us to raise the flags in an act that was an outright insult, that tells you everything you need to know about this man and his lack of integrity and morals."
This is my older brother, Mark.
A few years ago, I got a call from a hospital that I need to come quickly. Mark had a massive infection and was not expected to live through the night.
I got to the hospital, and the man at the front desk saw I was distraught. He told me to pray. I told him it sounded like it was too late. He said “It’s never too late, pray, he will be ok”.
I hadn’t prayed the rosary except for a couple times up until that point. But I decided to start. It was a 30 minute drive to/from the hospital. I prayed both ways.
One day at a time. Each day, my brother was hanging on by a thread, but he was hanging on.
Later, I added on the Divine Mercy Prayer. My brother woke up and improved. Then moved to extended care out of critical care.
I kept praying.
Then he went to rehab, where they said he’d never leave.
I kept praying.
My brother had skin grafts. Operation after operation.
But he recovered and is living independently again. He beat the odds & everything the doctors said.
That man at the hospital was right.
Pray.
And I’ve never stopped since.🙏🏻
Ossoff: Did you see this business about Don Jr.‘s wedding in the Bahamas? Where he received, apparently, a cash gift from a Russian oligarch connected to the Kremlin? This is the president’s son. This man, Kremlev, was apparently in China with Putin two days before he flew to the Bahamas for Don Jr.’s wedding to hand Don Jr. a six-figure check.
They are behaving as if they believe themselves untouchable, entitled to impunity beyond the law. And it reminds me of the story that Amos told us about his times 2,000 years ago in the West Bank…
Amos said that in his times, while they, the elite, trample on the poor, they build houses hewn of stone.
In our time, while they throw people off their health insurance, they build ballrooms with your money.
Amos said they lie on beds of ivory and anoint themselves in the finest oils. They were living in Mar-a-Lago-like conditions.
AMERICA'S HITLER IS AT IT AGAIN
Last night, Trump told a bunch of billionaires at a Rose Garden dinner for outdoor enthusiasts that he is so powerful as president — he could ban them from fishing.
One of the executives in attendance was Johnny Morris, the billionaire founder of Bass Pro Shops.
"That means you can sell a lot of fishing rods, Johnny.
You're going to sell a lot of rods. I could have made it so you couldn't sell. You couldn't sell anything. I could have banned fishing," Trump mused.
"I'll tell you what. The power of this office is crazy. I could have banned fishing and driven Johnny right the hell out of business. Okay. I think I'm going to do that.
Just maybe just a quick order, just for a day or two, till he calls me and he says, 'Please, President, please, you're putting me out of business, sir.!"
25th Amendment. America doesn't have kings.

There is no scientific evidence that splitting childhood vaccines into five 20% doses will reduce autism. Large studies involving hundreds of thousands of children have found no causal link between vaccines and autism. Changing vaccine schedules without clinical testing could also leave children unprotected against serious diseases. Trump's prediction of a “massive reduction in autism” is unsupported by scientific evidence.
Forget the money. Look at the guest list.
A Putin oligarch linked to the mass abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children, celebrating the marriage of the President's son to the daughter of the banker who called Jeffrey Epstein 'a gentleman of the highest integrity.'
Tell me again who the crime family is.
@PalmerZ37 Sending prayers and a birthday hug. Life is cyclical and you are in a low point. But the pendulum will swing and life will open up for you. Take it one day at a time.
