The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine – sounds like a headline ripped from a particularly dark novel, doesn’t it? The core idea here is jarring – the hypocrisy of someone supposedly fighting drug trafficking while simultaneously considering a pardon for someone deeply involved in it. It’s a stark contrast, one that throws into sharp relief the potential motivations behind such an action. The fact that the claimed premise for actions like tariffs and extrajudicial strikes on fishing boats is to stop drug trafficking, while this pardon is being considered, suggests a deeper, more self-serving agenda at play.… Continue reading
President Donald Trump was photographed near a White House flag that appeared to be touching the ground, sparking criticism. This raised questions about a potential violation of the U.S. Flag Code, which prohibits the flag from touching the ground. However, the White House denied the flag was touching the ground, citing high winds and the necessity to lower the flag into a container for the Marine One landing as the reason for the photo. This controversy occurred months after Trump installed new flagpoles and issued an executive order aimed at those who “desecrated” the flag.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene received criticism for not speaking out against Trump’s attacks on others, and subsequently, she was targeted with similar rhetoric. Responding on CNN, Greene surprisingly apologized for her role in “toxic politics” and expressed a desire to de-escalate political animosity. She stated that her shift stemmed from a focus on the Epstein files and a commitment to supporting victims. While some questioned the sincerity of Greene’s remarks, others saw the change in tone as a positive step.

The Justice Department initially posted pardons online featuring identical copies of President Trump’s signature, later replacing them after a “technical error” was identified. The original copies showed striking similarities in the president’s signature across multiple pardons dated November 7th, confirmed by forensic document experts. The administration attributed the error to staffing and technical issues, despite Trump’s history of criticizing his predecessor’s use of an autopen. Legal experts maintain that the use of a signature, whether by hand or electronic, has no bearing on the validity of the pardons, as the intention of the president is the determining factor.

House Speaker Mike Johnson faced scrutiny over the apparent inconsistency between his criticism of President Biden’s pardons and former President Trump’s admission of not knowing the crypto billionaire he pardoned. Johnson had previously criticized Biden, accusing him of being unaware of his pardons, yet when confronted with Trump’s similar situation, he claimed ignorance of the interview. This exchange highlighted the contrast between Johnson’s stated standards for presidential pardons and Trump’s actions, especially concerning the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, who pleaded guilty to money laundering charges. Johnson’s response to the situation was similar to his previous responses when confronted about Trump’s other statements.

Kash Patel, the subject of recent scrutiny, is criticizing his associates for their silence amidst allegations of misusing government planes for personal trips. A self-proclaimed whistleblower brought attention to Patel’s private jet usage, specifically for rendezvous with his girlfriend, a country music artist. Patel vehemently defended himself and his partner on social media, dismissing the claims as “baseless rumors” while also expressing disappointment in his allies for their lack of support. His use of a government plane to attend his girlfriend’s concert and visit her city has brought about a significant amount of irony considering Patel’s prior criticisms of other FBI directors over similar issues.

Russia denounces “excessive” US military force in the Caribbean, backing Venezuela. This is quite a statement, isn’t it? Especially considering the current global landscape. It’s hard not to chuckle at the irony of it all. You know, Russia, currently embroiled in a very, shall we say, “robust” military operation in Ukraine, is now expressing concern over the US presence in the Caribbean. It’s a bit like the pot calling the kettle black, wouldn’t you say?
Russia’s backing of Venezuela, in this context, feels… well, it feels strategically motivated. Venezuela has considerable oil reserves, and Russian oil companies, like Rosneft, have significant investments there.… Continue reading

This is a story we’ve unfortunately heard before, and it’s a familiar pattern that seems to be on repeat. A politician, often with a strong stance against something, gets caught in a situation that directly contradicts their public persona. In this case, it involves an unnamed GOP legislator who’s built a career on anti-porn advocacy. The issue? Allegedly, he had an active account on an adult sexcam website.
The initial reaction to such a revelation is rarely surprise, especially when it comes to certain political circles.… Continue reading
Republican State Rep. Josh Schriver, who has been leading a campaign to ban pornography in Michigan, appears to have had an account on the pornographic hook-up website Fling.com, according to records obtained by the *Metro Times*. The account, linked to Schriver’s personal AOL email address, was included in a data breach and indicated sexual interests. Despite Schriver denying the authenticity of the records, extensive cybersecurity data, including the same email and password appearing in other breaches linked to his personal accounts, contradicts his claim. The proposed pornography ban would outlaw all online pornography, including depictions or descriptions of transgender people, with severe penalties for distribution.
