In June, Trump’s sons announced the Trump Mobile phone and wireless service, slated for an August release, marking the Trump brand’s entry into mobile products. However, as of late, the phone has yet to materialize, with NBC News’s order remaining unfulfilled, despite a confirmed order and deposit. The website’s edits and customer service inconsistencies suggest shifting plans, while the “Made in the USA” promise has been altered, drawing scrutiny from industry experts, who question the feasibility of entirely American-made smartphones and suggest a likely Chinese involvement. Despite delays, Trump Mobile continues to collect deposits and offers other phones, including refurbished iPhones and Samsung devices, despite the original phone’s promises.

This statement, made by a prominent Republican, cuts right to the heart of a recurring frustration: the perceived mismatch between the stated financial constraints of the government and the actual spending priorities. The simple declaration, “We can’t afford it,” seems to ring hollow when juxtaposed against reports of substantial funding for various other initiatives.

This raises questions about the allocation of resources and the priorities of those in power.… Continue reading
The Pentagon has initiated an investigation into Democratic Senator Mark Kelly for potential violations of military law after he participated in a video urging U.S. troops to reject unlawful orders. The Pentagon cited a federal law allowing for the recall of retired service members, like Kelly, for possible court-martial or other actions, indicating his statements may have interfered with military order and discipline. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated Kelly was the only lawmaker targeted because he is the only one who formally retired from the military, placing him under the Pentagon’s jurisdiction. The video, released last Tuesday, also prompted criticism from President Donald Trump who accused the lawmakers of sedition, although reactions from troops online have been minimal.
