I don't begrudge wealthy people their stuff. There is, however, something fundamentally wrong with a society that allows children to go hungry and people to live in the streets while the wealth class owns elected officials, SC Justices, multiple mansions, yachts, and private aircraft.

Is the Transportation Secretary involved or is he still focused on his family's "great American road flop" and making fun of Pete Buttigieg's name?

Just because one is "totally allowed" to do something does not mean that it's totally OK to do it. The Trump family has totally obliterated common sense and decency in favor of self-enrichment. Totally. Junior is totally going to run for office. Total loser.

Asked how the White House ban on media outlets will be implemented, TRUMP says, “Very simple ban. I don’t want them in my office. I don’t want them here. I want it to go as far as it can”

This is how far 60 Minutes has fallen under Bari Weiss. She's going to air a Ross Doubthat interview with the ex-husband of Lindsey Clancy, who was acquitted for the murder of their 3 children. If and when the case will be retried hasn't been determined. This is a poor, repulsive decision by Weiss.

Is anyone keeping watch at the Kennedy Center as news outlets are completely focused on Trump's illegal ban? He's diverting attention away from something again, but what?
September 18, 2026 at 9:02 PM
So Trump has once again grabbed the headlines by illegally banning a few news organizations from the WH. What's he diverting attention from this time? His grifting family? The Kennedy Center? Gas prices? Meanwhile Vance is begging voters for a second chance. To both of them I say 🖕 off.

Keep in mind that the price of diesel will put many truck drivers out business. Less trucks will delay delivery and increase pressure on goods. The cost of everything will increase.
