Let me get this straight. The federal government held a legal auction for the right to build offshore wind farms. A company won those auctions fair and square, paying nearly a billion dollars into the U.S. Treasury. The projects went through years of review. Courts repeatedly upheld their legality. Everything was above board. Then the Trump administration tried five separate times to kill other wind projects in federal court and lost every single time. Judges reviewed the administration’s supposed “national security” justification and weren’t persuaded. So now they’ve landed on a new plan: pay the company nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS of your tax money to just walk away. Because, and I am not making this up, the president thinks offshore wind turbines are ugly and claims without evidence that they “drive whales crazy.” He’s been nursing this petty grudge since 2012, when he tried to block a wind farm visible from his golf course in Scotland. Fourteen years later, American taxpayers are footing the bill for it. This is stupid policy. It’s fiscally reckless, strategically blind, and driven entirely by a personal vendetta rather than any coherent vision for American energy or competitiveness. Meanwhile, China is racing ahead, building offshore wind at a staggering pace and positioning itself to dominate the global clean energy economy for decades to come. None of this is America First. nytimes.com/2026/03/17/cli…
DAN PUT THE ALLEGATION INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Dan Goldman went to the House floor today and read a report- that was initially hidden by the DOJ- telling the story of Trump unzipping his pants, and forcing a 13-year-old to perform oral sex. Do you approve? Your thoughts?
🚨 ICYMI: Missile Money → Trump’s Future Museum Piece You know that whole “defense budget protects the country” idea? Cute. Watch what actually happened. * The Pentagon accepted a luxury Boeing 747-8 from Qatar to use as a temporary presidential aircraft. * Then it kicked off a massive retrofit, adding secure comms and defensive systems so it can function like Air Force One. So far, just expensive. Now it gets… interesting. * $934 MILLION was pulled out of the Sentinel nuclear missile program. * That money was redirected into a classified Air Force project, widely tied to upgrading this jet. Let that sink in: Funds meant for nuclear deterrence → rerouted into refurbishing a gifted luxury plane. And the punchline, because there’s always a punchline: * After Trump leaves office, the aircraft is expected to be transferred to his presidential library or foundation. * Translation: taxpayers help turn a foreign gift into a future museum centerpiece with his name on it. 🧠 What this actually means This isn’t just “government spending is messy.” This is: * Military funding being reshuffled away from a strategic weapons program * Into a high-end aircraft retrofit * That ultimately becomes part of Trump’s personal legacy infrastructure So yeah, in case you missed it: We’re not just upgrading a plane. We’re effectively subsidizing a presidential trophy with defense dollars.
