They voted for Trump, and now their son is in ICE detention. This situation highlights the complex interplay between political choices and personal consequences, a stark illustration of the adage “you reap what you sow.” The son’s detention stems from a prior criminal conviction, a fact that adds layers of complexity to the narrative.
The parents, staunch Trump supporters, believed his rhetoric on immigration. They likely felt that his tough stance on illegal immigration would benefit their community and align with their personal values. Their support wasn’t necessarily born out of malice, but rather from a sincere, albeit misinformed, belief in his promises.… Continue reading
Contrary to widespread assumptions, polls reveal remarkably low levels of voter regret among those who supported Donald Trump in the 2020 election. Surveys from PRRI and the University of Massachusetts Amherst indicate that less than 2% of Trump voters regret their choice. This lack of remorse is evident even among those directly impacted negatively by Trump’s policies, as illustrated by anecdotal evidence of individuals continuing to support him despite personal hardships. This steadfast loyalty, even in the face of adversity, suggests a deeper psychological commitment than a simple political calculation. Ultimately, demanding remorse from Trump voters appears unproductive given their unwavering support.

Following a measles outbreak in the southern U.S., Secretary Kennedy has directed the CDC to investigate vitamins, particularly vitamin A, as a potential treatment. This action comes despite a lack of robust scientific evidence supporting this approach and warnings from experts about potential liver damage from high doses of vitamin A. The outbreak, exceeding 900 cases, threatens the U.S.’s previous elimination of measles. Secretary Kennedy’s focus on vitamins is part of a broader agency initiative to explore existing drugs and vitamins for various diseases.

Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, vehemently denies accusations of Nazism, citing his actions as contradictory to such claims. He attributes the negative media coverage to a relentless propaganda campaign, comparing it to the attacks faced by President Trump. Musk points to actions such as restoring previously banned accounts and his controversial statements on historical figures as evidence of misrepresentation, while acknowledging the effectiveness of repeated lies in shaping public perception. He also claims to be the target of assassination attempts, though admits he is “difficult to kill.” The interview highlights the increasingly strained relationship between Musk and his critics.

A Texas Republican lawmaker, Stan Gerdes, recently admitted he lacks evidence to support his claim that students are using litter boxes in schools. This admission follows the introduction of his bill, the “Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education (F.U.R.R.I.E.S) Act,” designed to supposedly curb this behavior. The entire premise of the bill, therefore, rests on a fabrication.
The lack of proof underscores the bill’s dubious foundation. Gerdes initially claimed a “furry-related incident” in a small school district, yet offered no details or supporting documentation. This absence of concrete evidence raises serious questions about the lawmaker’s motives and the bill’s true purpose.… Continue reading
President Trump repeatedly claimed gasoline prices had fallen below $2 per gallon, a figure sharply contradicted by fact-checkers and readily available data showing a national average exceeding $3. His claim, disseminated across social media, sparked widespread ridicule and criticism. While some defenders suggested he referred to futures prices, no official clarification was offered. The discrepancy highlights a significant disconnect between Trump’s statements and the reality faced by American consumers.

Oklahoma’s new social studies standards, championed by Superintendent Ryan Walters, include a section instructing students to identify “discrepancies” in the 2020 election results, echoing unsubstantiated claims of fraud. This decision followed the state Senate’s refusal to reject the language, despite concerns raised by new board members regarding transparency and late changes made by Walters without their knowledge or public input. Walters defends the standards as “unapologetically conservative” and factual, while critics, including Democrats and some board members, argue the inclusion is politically motivated, inaccurate, and age-inappropriate. Support from groups like Moms for Liberty further underscores the highly partisan nature of this educational policy change.

President Trump repeatedly claimed in an ABC News interview that a deported man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, has “MS13” tattooed on his knuckles, citing a photograph as evidence. This photo, however, clearly shows the letters “MS13” superimposed onto an image of a hand, not an actual tattoo. Despite the interviewer’s corrections and the obvious digital alteration, Trump insisted on the accuracy of his claim, highlighting his belief, or desire to perpetuate the belief, in the fabricated evidence. This incident underscores the ease with which manipulated images can be used to spread misinformation, even at the highest levels of government. The incident raises concerns about the potential impact of increasingly sophisticated AI-generated imagery.

A new poll reveals that 25% of Trump voters regret their choice or are disappointed with his early performance in his second term, with this figure rising to 47% among moderate Trump voters and 43% of non-MAGA Trump voters. While 73% of Trump voters remain supportive, his overall approval rating stands at 44%, down from 48% in February. This decline coincides with the introduction of controversial “Liberation Day” tariffs that negatively impacted the economy. Focus groups further highlight voter regret, particularly among independents in key swing states.

In a contentious ABC News interview, President Trump defended the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, insisting a photoshopped image showing “MS-13” on Garcia’s knuckles was genuine despite the correspondent’s corrections. Trump further justified his economic policies, claiming they were part of his campaign promises and necessary to prevent economic collapse, dismissing concerns from small businesses affected by tariffs. When questioned about his confidence in his defense secretary and the legality of deportations, Trump deflected responsibility to the Justice Department and dismissed critical questions as “stupid.” The interview highlighted the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the press regarding immigration and economic policies.
