President Donald Trump is gonna have a field day with this one as all the half-wit news publications spin this story way out of context. So here’s what happened. Jeffrey Epstein’s estate released 23,000 documents to the House Oversight Committee. Some of them were email exchanges with people. Some of them mentioned Donald Trump. None of them accused Trump of doing anything. One of the things mentioned was that Trump asked Ghislaine Maxwell to STOP hijacking the girls who worked at Mar-a-Lago, because Epstein was preying on them. The documents also remind people that Trump cut ties with Epstein and…

OH SNAP! Federal agents recovered $100,000 in what appears to be an alleged SNAP fraud scandal. All of this going on while something like 42 million people wait around for their benefits. Really cool, right? This took place at a store in in Cleveland where people were allegedly trading in their SNAP benefits and getting material items in return. Anything from clothes, appliances, and even cash in return for the SNAP. Feds apparently recovered $100,000 during their investigation. Wow… I guess the alleged suspects should’ve hid their money better. Or you know, maybe don’t break the law. MoneyWise had some…

Family Endeavors, also known as Endeavors, is the nonprofit whose $18 million-a-month contract was terminated at the direction of the Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) when it was cracking down on wasteful spending. An NBC San Antonio investigation revealed that the facility in question was empty despite ongoing payments, and also noted the organization’s sharp revenue growth. Endeavors offers a range of social services, including housing for veterans and migrants. The lucrative sole-source contract with the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was worth about $215 million annually and was meant to operate a facility in…

President Donald Trump is having fun with his tariff party and recently announced a possible $2,000 check to many Americans. But not all Americans will qualify. It’s mostly for people who aren’t making a zillion dollars. Some economists argue that tariffs end up doing more harm than good, and consumers, who ultimately foot the bill, have voiced frustration over the costs. You know who always foots the bill? We do. According to the Yale Budget Lab, these costs translate to an average household income loss of about $2,400 a year. On the flip side, the president’s administration insists that tariffs…

Democrat John Fetterman was talking to Sunny Hostin and it did NOT go well for the narrative pushing co-host of The View. It was like she tried to shame him for voting to open the government and give the GOP a subtle victory in that regard – while at the same time helping Americans get paid, get fed, and get back on track. Fetterman implied he chose country over party and wanted to do the right thing. He also suggested he’s not taking a lecture from her or anyone like MTG. Long story short… the guy we all made fun…

The rules are the rules, Karen! You can’t mess around with ICE unless you’re ready to FIND OUT – and that’s exactly what this chick did. This took place in Portland and the Mustang-driving ICE Karen ran a red light and tried to box in some ICE vehicles like she’s in an action movie. Nope. This is real life and you can’t act like that. So she gets pulled over for impeding ICE and starts panicking, hyperventilating, and begging for mercy like anyone cares. “I’m just a mom! I’m just a mom! … I’m shaking,” she pleaded. According to The…

The Democrat Governor who loves hair gel had his fancy Prop 50 pass in the votes, but almost immediately a lawsuit was filed by the California GOP to fight it. And you thought Gavin Newsom had enough problems running his state into the ground? Nope, there’s more in the form of a lawsuit that will probably drag out way longer than it should, like many legal cases. Gov. Newsom was sued over Proposition 50 by the California Republican Party and a group of 19 voters because they allege the new congressional maps created by the measure are an unconstitutional racial…

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has announced his first two key appointments for his incoming administration where he is likely to destroy a massive city with bizarro-world unrealistic policies. Dean Fuleihan as First Deputy Mayor, a Syracuse native and veteran of city and state government. Fuleihan previously served as budget director and first deputy mayor under Bill de Blasio, bringing expertise in policy and fiscal management. Oh right, because de Blasio was so good. Mamdani also chose Elle Bisgaard-Church as Chief of Staff, his longtime trusted advisor. She’ll handle day-to-day operations and strategic coordination in the mayor’s office. Isn’t…

BBC executives Tim Davie and Deborah Turness resigned after backlash over a Panorama documentary that deceptively edited Donald Trump’s January 6 speech. The edit allegedly misled viewers by altering context around his words before the Capitol events. A leaked memo exposed the issues, prompting accusations of bias, and Trump has threatened a $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC. Wow. What a bunch of idiots. If you’re working for a huge network, making good money and end up in a scandal like this, then you really messed up. If that was me, then I’d just play Trump’s speech word for word.…

You gotta love when the hens on The View are cackling loud enough to attack the Democrats and giving Trump a break from usual comical commentary that no one even listens to. This time it was Sunny Hostin who blabbered off a bunch of nonsense and then turned her back on Chuck Schumer, finally saying something worth listening to. Hostin mocked his decisions and suggested he was weak. She’s right about that. Chuck Schumer can’t even grill a cheeseburger the right way, so I wouldn’t trust anyone in politics to make a proper decision if they’re putting cheese on a…

Radio guy and podcaster Chris Stigall has been a right wing Trump supporter for years, but him and many others are speaking out about the completely stupid idea of a 50-year-mortgage. Stigall said, “Trump’s 50 Year Mortgage Plan? Wrong Solution for Young America. They need freedom, opportunity and faith in the free market. Trump Is Still America First-But 50 Year Mortgages Are Not.” Stigall then went into reasons why it’s wrong in one of his videos, which is embedded below. I can tell you why the 50-year-mortgage is wrong. Do you want to pay interest to a bank for 20…

In a 106-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut wrote that “this Court arrives at the necessary conclusion that there was neither ‘a rebellion or danger of a rebellion’ nor was the President ‘unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States’ in Oregon when he ordered the federalization and deployment of the National Guard” – and blocked Trump from using the National Guard in Portland where protesters are acting up. Of course her name is KARIN and I guess she prefers Portland to turn into a total dumpster, because this ruling makes absolutely no…

Here’s something you don’t see everyday and there’s a good reason for it. It’s an anti-ICE protester rubbing pepper ball residue in and around his mouth after federal agents fired them at the group who was participating in an unlawful gathering. I could see if there was a pizza on the ground and he rubbed some sauce on those gums, but not pepper ball juice. That’s just gross and I don’t know why he would do this other than to show off for the camera. When I saw this video, I just thought to myself “bro, wtf are you doing”…

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter, Chelsea, was sentenced to prison after her probation was revoked, as per Wisconsin’s online court records. Chelsea had previously faced drug-related and other criminal charges in Oconto and Marinette Counties. Earlier this year, she pleaded guilty to drug and bail jumping charges in Marinette County and to possession of methamphetamine, felony bail jumping, and resisting an officer in Oconto County. While initially sentenced to probation, she risked prison time if she violated the terms. On October 22, court records revealed that Chelsea was sentenced to prison in her Marinette County case. Rosie O’Donnell shared a post on…

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday he’s confident the House has enough votes to pass the Senate’s funding package to reopen the government. After being out of session for over 50 days, House lawmakers will need to approve the measure to end the shutdown once it clears the Senate. In the meantime, President Donald Trump is pressuring Democrats to open the government. One major problem is all the flights that are being canceled. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a warning on Friday, stating that the administration might mandate airlines to reduce up to 20 percent of flights if the…

The enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are set to expire this year unless Congress takes action to extend them. If they expire, then millions of Americans could face much higher premiums, increased out-of-pocket costs, and a rise in the number of uninsured individuals. Although Congress has the chance to address this issue before the deadline, they haven’t acted yet. And why not? Because it appears that President Donald Trump would rather get rid of ACA and get people back on the private market. That’s fine, but if ACA is still active, then the Republicans need…

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday criticized President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to redirect Affordable Care Act funds from insurance companies to individuals, saying it would harm the ACA’s protections for preexisting conditions. Is Adam Schiff on ACA or does he have government insurance? That’s a big question because anyone talking about ACA should be ON IT if they want to see what it’s really like. During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, Schiff described the idea as a rehash of repealing the ACA, replacing it with health savings accounts, and allowing insurers to deny coverage for…

President Donald Trump declared that those opposing tariffs are “fools” and promised to allocate the revenue from these duties toward providing a $2,000 dividend for Americans. Nothing is set in stone for the $2,000 checks and it may never happen, so it’s just an idea for now. It’s likely meant to get people on board with supporting the tariffs, but if the checks never show up – then people who hoped for them will be let down and lose trust in Trump. Other critics say the American government should not be sending Americans money and that it should pay the…

A Somali restaurant in Minneapolis, Safari Restaurant, was involved in a large federal child nutrition program fraud scheme, leading to the conviction of its co-owner, Salim Said. The restaurant and its affiliated sites fraudulently received over $16 million in federal funds, with Safari itself taking about $12 million. This was part of the “Feeding Our Future” case, a nationwide scheme that stole over $250 million meant to provide free meals to low-income children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those involved created fake companies, claimed to serve millions of meals, and used false attendance records. Safari falsely claimed to serve thousands of…

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily halt a court order requiring full funding of SNAP food aid payments during the government shutdown, even though some states’ residents have already received the funds. A judge had set a deadline for the Republican administration to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by Friday. However, the administration appealed to suspend any orders forcing it to spend beyond the available contingency fund, opting instead to proceed with partial SNAP payments for the month. After a Boston appeals court declined to intervene immediately, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji…
