''As bad as the lack of ethics, lack of character, lack of honesty, is the fact that tRUMP makes no effort to learn anything. This is one of the few human beings on the planet who gets dumber in front of our faces every single day.''

President Donald Trump unleashed a rapid-fire Truth Social spree, flooding his account with 35 posts in roughly 90 minutes. The bizarre posts ricocheted from recycled campaign talking points to a victory lap about presidential power and a fresh proclamation about policing one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

Michael was up super early on Wednesday (7/8) for an 8:30 AM tee time, and I spent the morning in the kitchen, baking 2 vanilla sponges (which I forgot to take a picture of!) I hit the studio after that and managed to get my pinwheel top almost all done…I did the inner border: I just need the skinny, outer pink border. And I got my QoV off of the frame and all cleaned up and trimmed and on the to-be-bound pile. I had a massage at 1 PM (heaven) and then a doctor’s appointme

Trump supporters say, "We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama." Fair enough. Let’s take a look. The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled. General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial $80 billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. c

President Donald Trump on Wednesday took his first flight aboard the new Air Force One, a luxury Boeing jet donated by the government of Qatar. The aircraft, an unconditional gift estimated to be worth about $400 million, has raised legal, ethical and national security concerns. It comes as Trump faces renewed scrutiny over claims that he is profiting from the presidency after new financial disclosures showed his wealth has soared since retaking office and his Florida resorts

CNN read hundreds of pages of recent federal court rulings involving President Donald Trump’s administration. The language judges used to describe the conduct of the administration and its lawyers is extraordinary. Some of the words they used: “retaliatory,” “misleading,” “unconstitutional,” “squalid” and “irrational.” Read more. 8647 ************************************************** I spent Friday (6/26) and Saturday (6/27) the same way…labeling, loading up and quilti

Speaking to the journalists heard in the background, the 80-year-old declared, "The war is going very well, as you know. We're winning by a lot. Iran is making very big concessions. We'll see what happens, but it's been very, very powerful. It's going very, very well."

To remind you, here’s what Trump said on “Meet the Press” that aired on June 7: “The [2020] election was rigged. It was a dirty election … And it’s happening again right now in California…. they’re cheating on the election. … they’re crooked…. You know that these elections are rigged. … Your elections in this country … are like a third world country. Your elections are crooked.” When Trump lies with this kind of vehemence, does he sincerely believe what he’s saying — in which

''At 2 p.m. this afternoon, the President of the United States sat down, clasped his hands, leaned forward, and with a weak voice, he told the reporter seated right in front of him that “there are no limits” to his power.

5-31-2026 At 8:15 this morning, the President of the United States began panicking in front of the entire world. For more than seven hours, he posted nearly 50 times. And when he finally slowed down, it would stand as one of the most revealing fits of rage of his presidency to date. Because what he shared was beyond any reasonable person’s comprehension. He complained that because China has a ballroom, he should have one too. He posted an image of a “Trump Peace Prize” bearin

It has been roughly a year and five months of nonstop chaos, instability, and cruelty. (Heather Delaney Reese) In a deranged Truth Social rant, Donald Trump upped the ante on his raging megalomania, proclaiming himself the “Number One Attraction anywhere in the World” suggesting he just might ditch musical artists for an upcoming Wednesday event and insert himself as the main attraction. Who needs them? “I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’… so I am thinking about br

The week of May 17th... There is so much going on in the news that it can be easy to overlook the fact that the president continues to tell a whole lot of lies.

They included inaccurately rosy assertions about the US economy and the war with Iran, baseless attacks against Democrats, and his familiar egregious lies about American elections.
