Headlines are very important when it comes to journalism and this one was ridiculed by social media users. AP’s headline said, “A car has driven into a group of people at a Christmas market in Germany.” This headline suggests that the car drove itself into the crowd, but the car did not drive itself. The tweet was ‘community noted’ on X and the fact check said: “A car has driven” implies the car drove itself, which is factually incorrect. A man from Saudi Arabia intentionally drove the car into the Christmas market as a terror attack.” This is concerning because…

UPDATE: The spending bill passed and Democrats overwhelmingly voted YES on it. This does not negate the fact that that Speaker Johnson caved in. Johnson suggests Trump is happy with the result, but the bills should have been voted on individually to ensure no money is wasted on useless bills. https://twitter.com/FrankBojazi/status/1870252760920404114 Speaker Johnson may have just committed the worst thing ever when it comes to this controversial spending bill.

Things are heating up as the spending bill negotiations take place and Dean Cain let Sen. Chris Murphy know how he feels. Chris Murphy said this: “Trump and his billionaire advisors’ message today is simple: help us pass a tax cut for the super wealthy and corporations or we will shut down the government and stop paying our troops.” What Chris Murphy isn’t telling people is about all the wasted spending, raises for government folks, and other ‘pork’ that was in the CR spending bill. The spending bill was 1500+ pages and they managed to trim it down to just…

X user ALX had the breaking news as soon as it was known that 38 Republicans have sided with the Democrats and voted no on the adjusted spending bill that Donald Trump suggested should pass.

Several TikTok users have expressed their displeasure of who Donald Trump is choosing to surround himself with in the White House come January 20th.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have helped inform the public on how much wasteful spending was in the Continuing Resolution 1500+ page spending bill. It got trimmed down to just over 100 pages, and Trump finally said it…

Democrat Hakeem Jeffries was being mocked on social media as the ‘Dollar Tree Obama’ after he was seen on videos fuming about the delay in the spending bill. Republican leaders discovered woke ideology, pay raises for government folks, and other ‘pork’ in the 1500+ page Continuing Resolution (CR) spending bill that would keep government open. Things spiraled out of control once Donald Trump talked poorly of it. Following some adjustments and negotiations, they trimmed the pay raises out of the bill – along with many other items, and had it down to just over 100 pages. Donald Trump then updated…

Here’s the video and the comments are posted under…

UPDATE: Trump, today 12/19, now approves a revised version of the spending bill and suggested that everyone votes it into action. Incoming President Donald Trump told Fox News that he was ‘totally against’ the pork-filled CR spending bill, putting the bill at risk of being DOA. Elon Musk also chimed in, saying he would personally fund candidates who run against a Republican who supports this bill. Elon Musk essentially threatened to help primary politicians who approve of a wasteful spending bill. Watch the video about Donald Trump being ‘totally against’ the spending bill:

The wasteful spending bill that people all across social media were talking about appears to have been completely derailed, and part of the reason is Elon Musk. The X CEO vowed to fund primary challenges against any Republican who supported the Continuing Resolution (CR) bill, threatening to help primary the politicians who support such a pork-filled bill that would waste American taxpayer money. A breaking news video on Fox News shows how the CR could likely be DOA. Here’s a few quotes from around X, showing what people are saying as the breaking political news kicks in this evening. Most…

Your first mistake is going to a fast-food place asking for something with no salt. This video shows a Chick-fil-A worker explaining to a rude customer that in order to give them truly salt free fries, that they would have to break down the machine, clean it, and then make the fries from fresh from the start. The very chill worker explains that the fry basket has salt on it already, because people sprinkle the salt on the fries while they’re in the basket, so the basket itself is a little bit salty – just like the customer who’s throwing…

Kamala Harris’s campaign spent over $1 billion during the 2024 presidential race. The funds were used for various purposes, including media buys, event production, and outreach efforts. In the final weeks of the campaign, significant amounts were spent on advertising, travel, and rallies featuring celebrities like Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, and Oprah Winfrey. The campaign also invested in connecting with diverse communities, such as paying for events at black barbershops and engaging with e-sports teams.  Despite raising over $1 billion, the campaign’s extensive spending on advertising, events, and outreach efforts led to this financial shortfall. The campaign is now actively…

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle said it was a lot easier to contact Donald Trump than Kamala Harris. Although Ruhle didn’t get the outcome she wanted with Trump, she felt more connected and able to reach him if she wanted to. In fact, Ruhle said she had Trump’s direct phone number and called him directly to ask for an interview, but he allegedly said for Ruhle to ‘go f*ck yourself.’ When Ruhle wanted to contact Kamala Harris, she had to go through a number of contact points or handlers, there was supposedly no direct access whatsoever. Here are some quotes from Stephanie…

Two suspects were seen robbing Ross, the Dress for Less store. The suspects were ripping purses off of a stand.

The video below shows at least one robber ripping the bags off the display and knocking it over, clearly not realizing the low-price purses can be removed very easily and no force was needed. Comment sections all over various social media platforms had people cracking up…
