Harris Faulkner: AOC And Bernie Rallygoers Don't Vote

Fox News host Harris Faulkner tried to downplay the energy behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders who are drawing massive crowds in many states to protest Trump and his billionaire buddies. Huge turnouts in Colorado and Arizona had Faulkner reeling, so she did what she always does, lie for the MAGA cult. The segment opened with Gianno Caldwell blasting the Democratic party for its low approval rating.

Tesla Cybertruck Sales Tank First Quarter

These are dark times for Elon Musk's much-vaunted Tesla Cybertruck. Musk once claimed it might sell 250,000 per year, despite its steep sticker price. So far in 2025, he's on track to sell less than half as many as he did in 2024. Source: Forbes

All Public Soc Sec Communication Now Via Musk's Xitter Only

Now that Elon Musk's DOGE Bros have gutted the Social Security Administration and made it harder for American seniors to get the retirement money they have earned, he's getting a reward. From now on, SSA's press releases and the "dear colleague" letters (used to communicate with advocacy groups and third-party organizations that help people access benefits) will be on Xitter, only. Because I'm sure Grandmas and Grandpas all over America are big Xitter users - not!

How Mark Carney Kneecapped Trump And Forced The Pause On Tariffs

With Donald Trump about to plunge the entire world into economic chaos this week, it took a carefully-launched plan from Canada's Prime Minister to get Trump to at least pause most of his madness. So how did he do it? Well, hitting hard on the United States' Achilles Heel, the U.S. debt. Carney didn't do it alone, of course, but he's the one, not the Chinese as I'd originally thought, who co-ordinated with EU countries and Japan to force Trump to capitulate.

Aging Narcissist Replaces Obama's Portrait With 'Assassination Attempt' Photo

The raging Narcissist-in-Chief's pettiness is on display again -- literally. Donald's jealousy of Barack Obama continues as he replaced the former President's portrait with the one of his alleged assassination attempt. The official White House Xitter account wrote, "Some new artwork at the White House," but people noticed that that's where Obama's portrait was featured. People noticed the pettiness of it all, like this Associated Press reporter.

US Fires Greenland Military Base Chief For 'Undermining' JD Vance

When JD Vance went to Greenland last month and made a horse's ass of himself and the United States with derogatory comments about Greenland and Denmark, and repeating Trump's threats to take Greenland, the head of the US military base was just as offended as everyone else and perhaps ill-advisedly made her thoughts public, distancing herself and the base from Trump's Vice-President, saying his comments were "not reflective of Pituffik Space Base."

Backlash Ensues Over GOPer's 'Deeply Embarrassing' Lie About Measles Outbreak

Pennsylvania Rep. Ryan Mackenzie told a bold-faced lie on CNN's Town Hall, claiming without evidence that undocumented immigrants were to blame for the measles outbreaks in the United States. Health officials attribute the rapid spread of the disease to declining vaccination rates in specific communities such as the Mennonite community. Jake Tapper asked Mackenzie about the spread of the disease and if he had any concerns about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The Vote-Suppressing 'SAVE Act' Just Passed The House

The House of Representatives passed the Orwellian "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act" (SAVE Act) on Thursday. It purports to protect our democracy from the non-existent problem of non-citizen voting. What the bill really does, by requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, is create what Mother Jones' Ari Berman calls a "five-alarm fire" for legit American voters and for election officials: Nine percent of American citizens, roughly 21 million people, don't have ready access to citizenship documents, according to a study by the Brennan Center and other voting rights groups. Sixty percent of them voted in the 2020 election. Close to 4 million don't have these documents at all because they were lost, destroyed, or stolen.

Even Eric Bolling Bashes Trump's Tariffs

Eric Bolling got fired from Fox News because of inappropriate texting to colleagues. Plenty of room for him, though, on Real America's Voice. Bolling told White House Deputy Press Secretary Harrison that he felt the Trump tariff calculations were made up garbage and had nothing to do with actual tariffs.
