Donald Trump’s announcement of the “Patriot Games,” a four-day athletic event featuring high school athletes from each state, has drawn comparisons to the dystopian themes of “The Hunger Games.” The event is part of a larger 250th-anniversary celebration, including a prayer event and a new landmark, the “Arc de Trump.” Social media users quickly noted the parallels between the proposed games and the fictional country of Panem’s deadly competition. Furthermore, the Trump administration’s board at the Kennedy Center has voted to rename the theater the “Trump-Kennedy Center.”

President Trump has been making the claim that tariffs have generated $18 trillion for the United States, a figure he has repeated multiple times in various public settings. This number is not only factually incorrect but also logically impossible, as the actual tariff revenue collected by the government this year is significantly lower, approximately $236 billion. The article suggests that Trump’s statement may be confusing tax revenue with private investment deals, but even when accounting for these, the $18 trillion figure is a vast exaggeration compared to the White House’s own reported figures. Ultimately, the article concludes that the basis for Trump’s claim is unclear, potentially fabricated.

In a recent address to the nation, former President Trump blamed current economic issues on the opposing party. He also claimed his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, made him give the address and boasted about military initiatives. Trump’s speech was followed by public mockery and a Marist poll revealed low approval ratings on his handling of the economy. Furthermore, the address included false statements about inflation and immigration, contradicting his past actions while in office. The White House later clarified details regarding a “warrior dividend” to be given to military service members, the funding of which was unclear.

The recent attacks, which began in early September, have resulted in at least 95 deaths. The White House has attributed the violence to efforts aimed at stopping the flow of fentanyl, with the president designating the substance as a “weapon of mass destruction”. This action seemingly legitimizes the militaristic response and is simultaneously being used to attempt the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. According to sources, former and current officials stated that Miller was the primary driving force behind the operation.

Dan Bongino, appointed FBI deputy director by Trump in February, is set to depart his role in January. This decision follows a career that includes being a podcast host, a New York City police officer, and a US Secret Service agent. Bongino, a vocal Trump ally, faced opposition from the FBI Agents Association and previously spread disinformation. During his tenure, he prioritized the pipe bomb investigation and appeared to change his stance on Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

President Trump announced that over 1.4 million service members would receive a “warrior dividend” of $1,776 before Christmas, funded by Congressionally-allocated reconciliation funds. These funds, totaling $2.6 billion, are intended to supplement the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for eligible service members ranked 0-6 and below. The Defense Department directed the disbursement, despite some Congressional leaders expressing concerns about the Pentagon’s adherence to spending recommendations for the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” reconciliation legislation. Furthermore, some lawmakers have scrutinized the administration’s reallocation of military funding.

NYT: “Who’s Gonna Stop You?” Listen to Trump Call Pressing Georgia Speaker to Overturn 2020 Election Results is a chilling reminder of the lengths to which a former president was willing to go to cling to power. The article, and the underlying phone call it highlights, paints a clear picture of an individual actively attempting to subvert the democratic process. The phrase “Who’s gonna stop you?” uttered by Trump, encapsulates the arrogance and brazenness of his actions. It’s a statement that reflects a complete disregard for the rule of law and the established norms of American governance.
The fact that this phone call occurred, and that it involved pressuring a state official to overturn election results, is not just a political misstep; it’s a direct assault on the foundations of democracy.… Continue reading
57 percent say Trump more responsible for the economy than Biden: This poll result, frankly, is a head-scratcher. It’s tough to wrap your mind around the fact that more than half the respondents place more economic responsibility on a former president, who hasn’t been in office for a considerable amount of time, over the current one. The immediate reaction is often disbelief, bordering on bewilderment. How can this be? Is this a reflection of genuine economic understanding, or something else entirely?
The premise of this seems to stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of the current political and economic reality. The arguments frequently point out that with the Republican party holding the House, Senate, and formerly the presidency during Trump’s tenure, any economic downturn or challenge should be laid at their feet.… Continue reading
