What? According to the WH he's the most popular president in history. "'Sir,' they tell me how great I am. Nobody's ever seen such poll numbers."

The only reason Hegseth and Trump promote this lie about Biden sending troops to polling places is because they plan to do it themselves, as I warned last year. It's an emergency; the other guys did it first; illegals are voting, etc.

The Trump administration released a 200-page report Thursday accusing Biden of anti-Christian bias for fining Liberty University and Grand Canyon University. The report left a few things out. Liberty's $14 million fine came after the school failed to properly report sexual assault data and mistreated survivors over a six-year period from 2016 to 2022. The Clery Act requires any college receiving federal money to collect and disclose campus crime data. Liberty didn't. Students who were assaulted at Liberty during those years and whose cases went mishandled - those are the people Biden's enforcement was protecting. The report calls that targeting Christians. Grand Canyon University's nonprofit battle started in 2019. Under Trump's first term. Betsy DeVos denied GCU's nonprofit conversion request because the school was too financially entangled with a publicly traded corporation. The Biden fine came later. The report does not mention this. It also does not mention that the second Trump administration quietly dropped the GCU fine and dismissed the consumer protection lawsuit after taking office. If your kid was assaulted at Liberty between 2016 and 2022, the enforcement this report calls religious persecution was the mechanism that held the school accountable for what happened to them. That protection is now framed as the problem.

a very confused Trump: "I could with one swipe of the pen say, 'Let's have no employment,' and I'll hire a million people or two million people and we'll have absolutely no employment."

Russia is recruiting in Africa with promises of jobs, education, and a better future. But many end up on the frontlines in Ukraine or inside Russia’s war industry. Watch Business of Despair: Russia’s War Recruitment in Africa below:

The Kremlin is seriously fearing a military coup — Shoigu under suspicion According to Financial Times and Important Stories, security inside the Kremlin has been tightened amid Putin’s fears for his life. The Russian leader is reportedly worried about an elite conspiracy and even a possible drone attack. Since March, Putin has largely disappeared from public view. He is said to be staying in a bunker, fearing he could be removed by his own circle. He and his family have stopped appearing at their usual residences, while state media often airs pre-recorded footage. Communications in parts of Moscow are periodically jammed, and people close to him have reportedly been banned from using smartphones. Even kitchen staff and security are monitored through surveillance systems. Former defense minister Shoigu is being mentioned as a potential risk due to his influence within the military. Earlier, nearly all of Shoigu’s deputies came under investigation on corruption charges.

Judge DuBose has called a hearing today to consider contempt against the attorney for concealing material facts. This is the latest in a too-lengthy-to-count list of examples in which Trump's DOJ and Trump's DHS are on completely different pages in an immigration detention case.
