BREAKING: A former White House doctor calls for Trump to undergo an immediate "medical evaluation" after a disturbing new Truth Social post supercharged concerns about his mental collapse. The dementia is getting worse by the day... "Earlier in the week the president threatened to kill an entire civilization. Now he posts a video of a woman being beaten to death," Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who was Vice President Dick Cheney's cardiologist, wrote on X. "To put it mildly, that’s concerning behavior. If he was a member of your family you would urge him to see a doctor. He should have a medical evaluation," he added. Trump posted a video to Truth Social yesterday showing a woman being brutally beaten to death outside of a gas station. He used the clip to rant about "illegal criminal aliens" and blamed "Radical Democrats" and "Crooked Joe Biden" for the horrific incident. It was a disgusting politicization of a woman's death that underscored just how callused Trump is towards any loss of life. No previous president would have ever considered posting a snuff film for the whole world to see, but there's no low to which Trump will not sink amidst his plummeting approval ratings. "Please say a prayer for this innocent woman’s family," Trump wrote, as if he cares one bit about the deceased's loved ones. He amplified their pain a thousandfold just by sharing the footage. Of course, a worsening lack of self control is a hallmark sign of certain forms of cognitive decline, particularly certain types of dementia. This man is unraveling more and more by the day and yet the Republican Party refuses to take action. He's deeply unfit to lead and his finger is hovering over the nuclear button. We need the 25th Amendment now! Please ❤️ and share if you support invoking the 25th!

WHEN A PRESIDENT STARTS THREATENING TV STATIONS DURING A WAR, YOU KNOW THE TRUTH ISN’T GOING HIS WAY When a President starts trying to silence the news during a war, it usually means the war is not going the way he claims. Donald Trump says he’s winning. He says Iran’s navy is crippled. He says their leadership is gone. He says the threat is finished. And yet the Strait of Hormuz — the most important oil passage on Earth — is still closed. Which means something very simple. The war Trump claims is “over” is clearly not over. Oil tankers are stalled. Global energy markets are choking. The world is sitting on the sidelines waiting for this disaster to play out. And now, suddenly, the White House wants television networks to stop reporting inconvenient facts. Enter FCC Chairman Brendan Carr — what I call “the bully with a briefcase.” His message to broadcasters was simple: Report the war the way Trump likes it… or your license might mysteriously have “problems.” Now let’s translate that into plain English: The government is hinting that if journalists don’t repeat the official story, they could lose their right to broadcast. That’s not democracy. That’s what happens in countries where leaders hold press conferences and firing squads in the same building. And here’s the part that should concern every American. These threats are not about correcting “fake news.” They’re about hiding the truth. Because the truth is messy. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Oil is stuck. The world’s economies are watching nervously. And the allies Trump insulted for years are now politely sitting back saying: “Good luck with that.” Funny how that works. You spend years mocking NATO, insulting world leaders, cozying up to dictators…Then suddenly you need help with the war YOU started. And nobody shows up. Now Trump wants the press to help him sell the illusion of victory. Sorry. This country doesn’t work that way. The Constitution begins with three powerful words: WE THE PEOPLE. Not WE THE PROPAGANDA. And no FCC bureaucrat with a clipboard is going to bully the truth off the air. … If you believe in a free press, help make some noise. Share the truth so others can see how this administration is trying to muzzle the media and hide what’s really happening in Trump’s War in Iran. #NoKings #TrumpWar #TrumpWarCrimes And that's the way this grandpa and political satirist sees it.

Okay, be honest. How many of you are hating to get up in the morning not knowing what chaos TRUMP will create in one day? A serious war is going on with Iran that should have, and could have been avoided. Putting TRUMP in charge of our great Country 🇺🇸 is like putting Mickey Mouse in charge of cheese.

BREAKING: Trump's heinous lies about the Iran school bombing COLLAPSE as his own Pentagon concludes that his administration was responsible for the atrocity. This will be the defining moment of Trump's presidency... According to The New York Times, an ongoing military investigation has concluded that it was an American Tomahawk missile that wiped out a school in Minab, Iran resulting in the deaths of at least 175 people. The Times spoke to "U.S. officials" and "others familiar" with the preliminary findings. Reportedly, the horrific attack was due to a "targeting issue" by the American military, which intended to strike a nearby Iranian base. They used outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, resulting in the massacre. The Times further reports that "striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades," which is putting it extremely lightly. This is the kind of stain that never washes out. These innocent men, women, and children would still be alive if Donald Trump had not launched an illegal war of aggression on behalf of Israel. History will not forgive him. These findings come as a major blow to Trump who has been desperately trying to muddy the waters around this bombing. He even went so far as to suggest that it was an Iranian Tomahawk that struck the school — even though Iran has no access to such weapons. He has also insisted that he simply does not "know" what happened. This is the coward that MAGA elected. Not only does he slaughter innocent children with weapons of war, he then refuses to even take responsibility for his actions. There has never been a more despicable president in American history. Please ❤️ and share to demand that Trump be prosecuted for war crimes!

BREAKING: RETALIATION? — “ICE Barbie” accused of BLOCKING watchdog probe into $220 million ad deal linked to political allies. Kristi Noem’s tenure at the Department of Homeland Security just got even messier. A federal watchdog investigating Noem’s staggering $220 million “self-deportation” ad campaign is now raising alarms that her department may be blocking investigators from accessing key evidence — sparking accusations of retaliation and possible corruption. The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general has been digging into the massive ad buy for weeks, trying to determine how taxpayer money was handed out to a network of politically connected firms. And the details are raising serious eyebrows. One of the biggest contracts — worth $143 million — reportedly went to a company that had been incorporated less than two weeks earlier, with no office, no website, and no history of federal contracting. Another $77 million contract went to a firm tied to Republican strategist Jay Connaughton, who previously worked with longtime Trump political operative Corey Lewandowski — a top Noem adviser and rumored romantic partner. Meanwhile, subcontracted work flowed to a company linked to the husband of Noem’s own DHS spokesperson. You can see why investigators want answers. But according to the inspector general, his office has faced “systematic obstruction” from DHS leadership while trying to pursue multiple investigations — including the probe into Noem’s ad campaign. The watchdog even warned Congress that the department’s actions could undermine critical oversight during a time of major national security concerns. Inside DHS, some officials now fear the obstruction is retaliation — potentially aimed at slowing down investigations that could implicate Noem or her close political circle. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are already demanding documents from the companies involved. And the controversy reportedly played a major role in Donald Trump’s decision to remove Noem from her post, with her departure expected by the end of the month. In other words, the questions surrounding this $220 million taxpayer-funded ad blitz are only getting louder. Because when huge government contracts start flowing to political allies, campaign operatives, and personal associates — and watchdogs say they’re being blocked from investigating it — Americans deserve to know exactly what’s going on.

I will not be distracted. Trump’s name is all over a Pedophile File. This is a huge story. His name appears third to Epstein and Ghislaine. He was more than just a pedo customer. He was a part of the enterprise. Children as young as 9 were abused and this regime will do absolutely anything not to reveal the abusers. #DemsUnited

BREAKING: RED ALERT! Adam Schiff sounds the alarm that Trump’s ICE is quietly stockpiling MASSIVE arsenals of military weapons! The Trump administration is turning ICE and Customs and Border Protection into an armed juggernaut. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has uncovered contracts worth at least $144 million for weapons, ammunition, and accessories during Trump’s first year. That is a FOURFOLD INCREASE for ICE and a doubling for CBP compared to 2024. This is not routine law enforcement, but is a deliberate buildup of lethal firepower for a domestic force that will be around for years. Schiff’s report, shared with The New Republic’s Greg Sargent, details the haul. ICE signed deals with Geissele Automatics for millions in “precision long guns and accessories” to equip armed agents. These are AR-style rifles built to military specifications. CBP ordered millions more in rifles. Both agencies have locked in Glock contracts for millions in handguns and accessories. Combined, they are acquiring thousands of high-powered lethal weapons at taxpayer expense. The ammunition orders alone exceed $30 million. Non-lethal contracts top $25 million for Tasers, pepper spray, and tear gas canisters. This is not about border security; this is Snake Plissken-level dystopia. Trump is preparing an unaccountable, heavily armed DOMESTIC POLICE FORCE ready to enforce mass deportations and crush dissent. The scale is staggering. The intent is terrifying. Schiff called it what it is: a “grotesque expansion of power.” Just as post-9/11 security grew unconstrained, this MAGA terror bureaucracy is amassing troops and firepower with no end in sight. War profiteers are cashing in while communities face an increasingly militarized ICE. This is not protection. This is OCCUPATION. If the idea of Trump turning ICE into a heavily armed domestic army alarms you, like and share to spread the warning of this terrifying authoritarian overreach.

INSANE: British grandmother BEGS people not to go America, after being imprisoned for six weeks -- for committing no crime, and holding a valid visa. Karen Newton was on the trip of a lifetime. Yellowstone. Old Faithful. A bison beside the car. She had a British passport and a valid tourist visa. No criminal record. No overstays. No charges. “I don’t even have parking tickets,” she said. “I am not a dangerous criminal.” When she and her husband tried to leave the US for Canada, border officials flagged his expired visa and turned them back. Hers was valid. It did not matter. She was handcuffed, shackled at the wrists, waist and ankles, and locked in a cell. She slept on the floor under foil blankets. Then she was driven 12 hours overnight to the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma. She was detained for 42 days -- again, she committed NO CRIME. But Newton’s reality was six weeks in what she calls a prison. “It’s called a detention facility, but it’s really a prison,” she said. “Locking doors, guards everywhere, cells, everything clamped to the floor.” She slept on the floor for a month because she could not climb to a top bunk. “You only really appreciate your freedom when you’ve had it taken away.” She believes the pressure to produce detention figures is driving it. “I think it’s Trump insisting they generate figures on how many people they are detaining. I can’t think of any other reason.” She warned other tourists, “Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability.” Like and Share if you support telling tourists to stay away from America, until we've made it safe enough for them.

I owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology. I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency and am still exhausted from the experience. But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad, other than when: He incited an insurrection against the government Mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans Separated children from their families, and lost those children in the bureaucracy Tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church Tried to block all Muslims from entering the country Got impeached, got impeached again Had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history Pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden Fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia Bragged about firing the FBI director on TV Took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community Diverted military funding to build his wall Caused the longest government shutdown in US history Called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate" Lied 30,000 times Banned transgender people from serving in the military Ejected reporters from the White House briefing room who asked tough questions Vetoed the defense funding bill because it renamed military bases named for Confederate soldiers Refused to release his tax returns Increased the national debt by nearly $8 trillion Had three of the highest annual trade deficits in U.S. history Called veterans and soldiers who died in combat losers and suckers Coddled the leader of Saudi Arabia after he ordered the execution and dismembering of a US-based journalist Refused to concede the 2020 election Hired his unqualified daughter and son-in-law to work in the White House Walked out of an interview with Lesley Stahl Called neo-Nazis “very fine people” Suggested that people should inject bleach into their bodies to fight COVID Abandoned our allies the Kurds to Turkey Pushed through massive tax cuts for the wealthiest but balked at helping working Americans Incited anti-lockdown protestors in several states at the height of the pandemic Withdrew the US from the Paris climate accords Withdrew the US from the Iranian nuclear deal Withdrew the US from the Trans Pacific Partnership which was designed to block China’s advances Insulted his own Cabinet members on Twitter Pushed the leader of Montenegro out of the way during a photo op Failed to reiterate US commitment to defending NATO allies Called Haiti and African nations “shithole” countries Called the city of Baltimore the “worst in the nation" Claimed that he single handedly brought back the phrase “Merry Christmas” even though it hadn’t gone anywhere Forced his Cabinet members to praise him publicly like some cult leader Believed he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Berated and belittled his hand-picked Attorney General when he recused himself from the Russia probe Suggested the US should buy Greenland Colluded with Mitch McConnell to push through federal judges and two Supreme Court justices after supporting efforts to prevent his predecessor from appointing judges Repeatedly called the media “enemies of the people" Claimed that if we tested fewer people for COVID we’d have fewer cases Violated the emoluments clause Thought that Namibia was a country Told Bob Woodward in private that the coronavirus was a big deal but then downplayed it in public Called his exceedingly faithful vice president a “p---y” for following the Constitution Nearly got us into a war with Iran after threatening them by tweet Nominated a corrupt head of the EPA Nominated a corrupt head of HHS Nominated a corrupt head of the Interior Department Nominated a corrupt head of the USDA Praised dictators and authoritarians around the world while criticizing allies Refused to allow the presidential transition to begin Insulted war hero John McCain – even after his death Spent an obscene amount of time playing golf after criticizing Barack Obama for playing (far less) golf while president Falsely claimed that he won the 2016 popular vote Falsely claimed that he turned down being Time’s Man of the Year Considered firing special counsel Robert Mueller on several occasions Mocked wearing face masks to guard against transmitting COVID Locked Congress out of its constitutional duty to confirm Cabinet officials by hiring acting ones Used a racist dog whistle by calling COVID the “China virus" Hired and associated with numerous shady figures that were eventually convicted of federal offenses including his campaign manager and national security adviser Pardoned several of his shady associates Gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two congressman who amplified his batshit crazy conspiracy theories Got into telephone fight with the leader of Australia(!)

@MrPitbull07 Ferals typically die in 2 yrs. When we moved house, our indoor cats, who’d been feral but had been years with us, hid under our bed for 6 weeks. Cats take time to adjust. Hang in there. She’ll slowly adapt & in 2-3 months you won’t know how you did without your loving companion.

“This week, I trapped my first feral cat and had her spayed on Wednesday 🎉. The clinic estimated she’s around four months old and advised that she could be safely released the day after surgery. I haven’t been able to bring myself to release her yet. The guilt of putting her back outside weighs heavily on me. Because she’s still young and occasionally allows me to pet her, I keep questioning whether I should try to socialize her instead. At the same time, it’s clear how frightened she is—she hides in every corner of the bathroom where she’s currently staying, and my presence clearly overwhelms her. Logically, I know that returning her to her outdoor environment may be the most appropriate choice. But emotionally, it’s incredibly hard. The idea that she might miss out on the warmth, safety, and affection of an indoor life breaks my heart. I truly want to do what’s best for her, even if it’s not what feels easiest for me. If anyone has experience with young feral cats or has been in a similar situation, I would be very grateful for any advice or reassurance.” Credits goes to respective owners
