IS ANYONE LISTENING TO PENCE OTHER THAN ANTI-MAGA PEOPLE? Pence is totally out of sync with the GOP on many issues, and to make a statement about J6 before the ongoing investigation is finalized is lame. He knows the truth that the Congress justice system, with Liz Cheney, hid evidence, manipulated Americans as if our country was going down. How stupid.

Do these folks really think this was an insurrection? It wasn't. The FBI had people, many in the crowds, with some promoting the event. If those folks were the current progressives, they would have destroyed everything in sight. Just look at the illegal detention centers where they are trying to free murderers, pedophiles, and other criminals. Really? When will the media start asking questions instead of inflaming the crowds? Our media is complicit. All IMO.

"Never one to shy from his objections, Vice President Mike Pence says President Trump’s decision to set up a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund” is “totally unacceptable.”

While promoting his new book “What Conservatives Believe,” Mr. Pence adopted language used by many Democrats to speak out against Mr. Trump’s so-called “slush fund” for those who were prosecuted for attacking the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

“I’ll never minimize what happened on January 6th,” Mr. Pence said during an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

“This talk of a ‘weaponization fund’ … The idea of creating a fund that could compensate people who assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable,” the former vice president said. “My hope in the administration will drop it — drop the idea entirely.”

‘I’ll never minimize what happened on January 6th,’ the former vice president said, calling the president’s attempt at remunerating those aggrieved by lawfare a ‘slush fund.’

BERNIE, AOC AND MANY DEMS SUPPORT A CANDIDATE WITH A N**I TATTOO, WHO SOLICITS S*X NOT FROM HIS WIFE, DEGRADES A PURPLE HEART RECIPIENT, SAYING HE DESERVED TO DIE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? There is not a lot to say about this, except that it shows the left will take anything with a heartbeat to try to maintain power. I usually call out progressives, especially the extremist side, but that is no longer true.

Besides Fetterman, the others are all pushing a socialist ideology or remaining silent. Silence is complicity, and that should be the GOP's strategy in the midterms. Do not let local elections make you follow the pied piper of Socialism. Ignore the words, deal with facts. Don't believe until you know the facts, and words are not facts. It is time to take back our country, and the left in general is in chaos like never before. They are like Iran at this time; the left hand is clueless about the right hand of progressives. All IMO.

"Both controversies are the latest scandals to cast a shadow over Platner’s Senate campaign, in which the presumptive Democratic nominee holds a 7.8% edge over longtime incumbent Republican Susan Collins, according to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average.

Last year, revelations emerged that Platner had a tattoo on his chest that resembled a Totenkopf, or “death’s head” symbol, used by the N**i SS. Platner claimed to have gotten the tattoo during a drunken night out in Croatia in 2007 and denied knowing its N**i links.

He later inked over it with a “Celtic knot with some imagery around dogs,” as he described it."

The embattled Democratic Maine Senate hopeful has finally addressed the infidelity scandal roiling his campaign after putting his wife forward to answer for him in a widely criticized solo video st…

ACTIVIST JUDGES WILLING TO DESTROY THE KENNEDY CENTER BECAUSE OF TRUMP ADDING HIS NAME. Trump basically tells this Judge to go pound sand. He will back out of the effort, at least, as I read this and give it to Congress, as this Judge decided. That result will put this center back into a deteriorating endeavor that Trump was saving it from. This is stupidity in full view.
TDS in full display, but by a Judge, whom we have too many of, who think they lead and make decisions, not interpret the law. Our Justice system is sick, really sick from the activists appointed by Obama and Biden.
I think that if Obama and Biden are found to have broken past laws, all Justices and pardons need to be reversed. Once all the evidence is put together, which is coming soon, it will show that the Russian Hoax was pushed forward by both of these guys. That is a fact, my friends, but of course, our media is silent. Also, Obama was willing to sell us out to the EU's globalization effort, which is failing in a massive way, but at this point, the people want their countries back. In the U.S., Trump has saved us from globalization, but not yet in Europe. All IMO.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-blocks-planned-closure-of-kennedy-center-and-orders-trumps-name-removed-from-building-6040533

"The judge said the injunction will not prevent the center from proceeding with capital repair work it has planned and that is “sorely needed.” Nor will it stop the board from closing the center “should it come to this decision anew after independently balancing its multiple obligations to the Center in a prudent fashion.”

“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,” the judge said.

The new ruling came in response to litigation initiated in December 2025 by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) who sued Trump and the Kennedy Center board of trustees over its renaming as the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Beatty is an ex officio member of the center’s board of trustees.

Days before, the Kennedy Center board had unanimously voted to rename the institution the Trump-Kennedy Center. That same day, new lettering was installed on the outside of the building along with digital rebranding.

Trump took to social media to criticize the ruling. He also suggested he would work with Congress to give that body direct control over the center.

On Truth Social, he said that Cooper was appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama and added that the judge and “the Radical Left would rather see [the center] DIE than have President Trump transform it into something that everyone could be proud of, much as I have done, in many cases, throughout my life.”

To save this “dying Performing Arts Center ... we are going to be working with Congress to transfer this failing Institution back to them so they can make a determination as to what to do with it.”

“I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management,” the president said.

The Epoch Times reached out to the judge’s chambers for comment. No reply was received by time of publication."

The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by a Democratic congresswoman.

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE WOMEN? WHY DO THEY NOT STAND UP FOR THEIR OWN, AND NO, A MAN CANNOT BE A WOMAN. This is so out of line, with males winning state championships and more, including scholarships. And who loses? The real women of the country.
Woman have sold out their own and thrown away decades of work for equality, but yet sit in silence when it counts. These women should be ashamed for degrading the meaning of womanhood. The worst abusers are the women who have succeeded in sports without males, stepping out to support trans. Of course, this is because they won't ever have to be degraded by competing with men.
Remember in 2017, when the USWNT played a scrimmage against the FC Dallas Under-15 boys academy team and lost 5–2. I need to say no more, and of course, we never hear about that.
Now for the kicker in all of this. I believe the Olympics or most of the events will no longer allow trans women to compete with females. At least this committee resulted in common-sense rules - a man cannot be a woman. So, if we, the U.S., allow trans people on our Olympic teams, they will be disqualified, and somewhere along the line, a woman will be passed over for a man and won't be able to meet their dreams. You can't make this stuff up. All IMO.

https://www.westernjournal.com/aclu-backed-transgender-athlete-wins-girls-state-title/

"A self-proclaimed transgender West Virginia athlete has won the race to claim a state championship before potentially facing a ban for being a male competing in female sports.

Becky Pepper-Jackson, 15, a sophomore at Bridgeport High School, won the state Class AAA shot put competition, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

His winning throw was more than two feet beyond that of the second-place finisher.

Pepper-Jackson has spent the last five years fighting to compete against females, helped by the ACLU of West Virginia, which filed a lawsuit on his behalf in 2021. The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed him to compete against females, pending a final ruling.

“I know how hurtful a law like this is to all kids like me who just want to play sports with their classmates, and I’m doing this for them,” Pepper-Jackson has said. “Trans kids deserve better.”

When the case to enforce a West Virginia law that bans males from female teams was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in January, Michael Williams, West Virginia’s solicitor general, said “biological s*x matters in athletics in ways both obvious and undeniable.”

“[Pepper-Jackson] says that West Virginia schools can no longer designate teams by looking to biological s*x,” Williams said. “Instead, schools must place students on sports teams based on their self-identified gender.”

Criticizing that as “backwards logic,” Williams said it makes Title IX “into a law that actually denies those opportunities for girls.”

“The law is indifferent to gender identity because sports are indifferent to gender identity,” Williams said.

West Virginia Republican Gov. Patrick Morrisey said “it’s just plain wrong to allow a boy to participate and win a girls’ sporting event.”

A boy competing against girls in West Virginia has won a state title before a Supreme Court ruling comes down that could ban him.

THE CRIME IS SAN FRANCISCO PROVIDING FREE ALCOHOL TO ALCOHOLICS IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY. Not much to say about this, except San Francisco and LA, for that matter, have failed for decades, and now, finally, people are waking up.
Look at LA and communist Mayor Karen Bass, yes, she is a communist, although you would not know it except for her actions, because the media protects her. If she loses reelection and the Independent running for office wins, it will be like the Trump Administration and DOGE, where fraud and waste were discovered everywhere. In both of these cities, everyone is paying their friends through NGOs, making them millionaires using taxpayer money. All in IMO.

https://www.nysun.com/article/five-years-on-san-francisco-axes-program-that-provided-free-vodka-to-homeless-alcoholics

"San Francisco has quietly pulled the plug on one of the most expensive and eyebrow-raising social programs in modern American municipal history: a taxpayer-funded initiative that dispensed metered doses of beer and liquor to homeless alcoholics living in a former Tenderloin hotel.

Serving just 55 participants over a five-year period, the program ran up a tab averaging $454,000 per client before a new mayor finally called time this past January. Mayor Daniel Lurie has quietly terminated the $5 million-a-year Managed Alcohol Program, known internally as MAP, as part of a broader push to overhaul the city’s approach to homelessness and addiction.

“For years, San Francisco was spending $5 million a year to provide alcohol to people who were struggling with homelessness and addiction. It doesn’t make sense, and we’re ending it,” Mr. Lurie told the California Post. “We have ended every city contract for that program.”

The program was created by the San Francisco Department of Public Health in April 2020, when the city began housing homeless people in hotels during the lockdown. The original rationale had a narrow logic: with bars shuttered and liquor stores stripped of foot traffic, chronic alcoholics faced the real risk of life-threatening withdrawal."

EXTREMIST PROGRESSIVES SHOUT "KILL...", AND THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY JOINS IN THE FRAY. WE ARE IN A PROGRESSIVE GONE WILD ENVIRONMENT. Personally, I find it objective that the media and progressives attack law enforcement, particularly ICE, for gathering illegals with violent backgrounds.
Governor Mikie Sherrill should get her wish and release all the killers, pedophiles and criminals to run freely in her state. But, we should track everyone released and for each crime, put it in the media where they tell the truth, not protect the illegals. Also, a review of any federal funds spent on supporting the criminals.
The silent Democrats on the left are culpable for not even trying to find out the truth and sitting back and allowing the nutjobs to rule the party. Words matter, but it is the unspoken people on the left who matter more. All IMO.

"The scene outside Delaney Hall detention center turned chaotic again Friday night with more clashes between anti-ICE protesters and agents – despite New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s attempt to establish a “peaceful” protest zone.

The mob throughout the evening continued their vile chants and ignored orders from police to disperse or face arrests as law enforcement used tear gas and pepper spray to restrain the unruly crowd, according to footage.

“Kill yourself, quit your job, quit your job,” the rabble-rousers chanted at one point.

“F—k ICE,” they barked, labeling federal officers as “murderers.”

ICE agents were seen reaching into crowds of protestors, grabbing them by the shoulders or head, and slamming them into the ground."

PROGRESSIVES CRITICIZE LOWER DRUG PRICES FOR THE PEOPLE ONLY BECAUSE IT IS A DONALD TRUMP SUCCESS. This is a great piece, and I am publishing it in full on my Substack feed and in part on my other social media sites due to text limitations.

All Americans are well aware of the high costs of drugs, and Trump is taking it head-on. But, the progressives, most of them, don't want Trump to succeed and would rather the people pay the higher prices. This is not only concerning, but sick. No politics of any order should work against progress for the people, but that is the case for the progressives.

Joy Behar, one of the most hateful women I've ever seen or heard, and is one of the first to go negative for a positive for the people. She is a nutjob and knows nothing but anti-American hate under Trump. I'd call this an advanced stage of TDS, which most of those on the view have.

The progressives need to stop the crap and get back to basics, where the people come first, not the party, Hollywood or billionaires like the one living in China feeding the hate, and the funny thing is, this guy is married to a Code Pink supporter or leader. He has unlimited funding and is using it. We are under attack, my friends, so don't fall asleep. All IMO.

https://spectator.org/the-views-joy-behar-is-furious-trumprx-is-lowering-drug-costs/

"Yes — lower drug prices are apparently now dangerous.

The outrage followed the administration’s announcement last Monday that roughly 600 additional generic medications would be added to the TrumpRX initiative, expanding access to lower-cost purchasing options for millions of Americans. The administration estimates the broader effort could save consumers and seniors hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade.
..
Apparently, lowering drug costs is only admirable when it arrives wrapped inside a massive government expansion program and signed by the “correct” political party.
..

Innovation and affordability do not have to be enemies.
The United States continues to lead the world in pharmaceutical development because our system — despite its flaws — still rewards scientific risk-taking, capital investment, and medical innovation. ...
At the same time, Americans are entirely justified in demanding greater transparency, lower out-of-pocket costs, and more competitive pricing structures.
The challenge is achieving those goals without replacing one distorted system with another.
That is where TrumpRX represents a meaningful shift in the right direction. Rather than relying exclusively on centralized price controls or sweeping government management of healthcare delivery, the initiative attempts to increase competition, expand generic access, improve price visibility, and weaken the grip of entrenched intermediary structures.

Is it perfect? Of course not.
..

That is the real debate policymakers should be having — not whether consumers deserve relief from inflated healthcare costs, but how to achieve that relief without sacrificing the innovation, flexibility, and long-term resilience that make modern medicine possible in the first place."

One day, historians may look back at The View and conclude the program functioned less as political commentary and more as accidental satire. That conclusion became even more plausible last week after co-host Joy Behar suggested Americans could effectively “die” because President Trump is attemp...

CBS LEADS THE WAY BY CLEANING OUT ANTI-TRUMP CORRESPONDENTS. It is about time someone holds these so-called one-sided journalists to account, and firing them is a good start at CBS. No one is asking for biased reporting; all we want are the facts with no opinions that turn facts into attacks against Trump. And what is disgusting is that this is an in-your-face style of reporting by socialists in the media. No matter whom you read or listen to, including me, the truth requires verification. Everyone has a story to tell, but it is not the opinions that matter; it is the facts within.

Unfortunately, at this time in our history, we have millions more worried about how something is stated versus the truth, and that is sad and dangerous for our Republic. all IMO.

"CBS News Editor-in-Chief continues draining the woke swamp at the long-compromised Sunday news program, 60 Minutes.

The Gateway Pundit has documented for years how ’60 Minutes’ repeatedly targeted conservatives and President Trump with one-sided hit pieces while giving Democrats and their allies soft-glove treatment.

The show’s credibility collapsed further after the disastrous Kamala Harris interview that triggered a major lawsuit and exposed its activist bent.

Bari Weiss, who famously walked away from The New York Times over its radical leftward lurch and cancel culture, is now applying the same standards at CBS.

Under the new Skydance/Paramount ownership, Weiss was brought in with a mandate for “actual viewpoint diversity.”
