@VivekGRamaswamy Cincinnati is NOT your "hometown", and we really dont want your here, carpetbagger.

Enjoyed spending time with President Trump in my hometown of Cincinnati today. Great conversations with local workers about delivering lower costs, bigger paychecks, and better schools. We’ll do our part in Ohio. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

SHOULD FLAGS BE LOWERED FOR JESSE JACKSON? Remember Trump gave the order to lower flags for Charlie Kirk, but has not given the same honor to Jackson. Your thoughts?

@MustangMan_TX Less reliance on processed & fast foods

How did they have such skinny waists back then??

Flags at half mast speak loudly about who a nation chooses to honor. When Charlie Kirk, a racist agitator who trafficked in division and grievance, died, Trump moved swiftly to lower the American flag, a symbolic gesture of national mourning. But when Reverend Jesse Jackson, a global civil rights icon, freedom fighter, and lifelong advocate for justice, dignity, and unity passed away, there was no such urgency. No national gesture. No unifying call to honor a man whose life’s work helped expand democracy and human rights for millions. Instead, the president took to social media to center himself rather than the legacy of a giant who marched with Dr. King, negotiated for the oppressed, and spent decades bringing people together across race, class, and nation. Let that contrast sink in. A figure known for stoking division is memorialized with the full weight of presidential symbolism, while a civil rights statesman whose mission was reconciliation, equality, and global justice is met with indifference. That is not just an oversight. That is a statement of values. History will remember who was honored, how they were honored, and who was quietly minimized. And it raises a sobering question: What does it say about the soul of a nation when a divider is mourned with national symbols, but a unifier is not? Talbert Swan

@RealHickory Where's the evidence? But definitely arrest and prosecute on what you have you have!

Exactly! Where's the arrests?

But MAGAts don't respect or acknowledge the facts, just the fantasy.

@EshaAA33 D

As of today, how would you rate your level of support for Pete Hegseth? A. Very Strong Support (100%) B. Strong Support (75%) C. Moderate Support (50%) D. Limited Support (25%) E. No Support (0%)

But I'll bet these kids all lived thru this, more than we can say for Columbine students, Paducah, Sandy Hook, or so many more.

@AmericaPapaBear At least they do make it home at the end of the day.

This is what you get with black public schools.

@unacknowl3dged 99.9% of all school shootings are perpetrated at predominantly white schools, and by young white shooters.

and this is why they shoot up their schools on a weekly basis in predominantly black inner cities. not racist, just a statistic. but do you ever hear about their school shootings on the news? nope. yet go ahead and look up the stats of school shootings by demographic.

@za_usrt Brave and passionate man, standing up for Truth and Righteousness!!

Do you think this guy is a piece of shit?💩

@EshaAA33 Nope. They correctly advised that they could, and should, defy ILLEGAL orders. The alternative is that they blindly follow illegal orders, ala the German SS , gestapo, et al.

YES or NO?!

@Dobbie52 @realDonaldTrump Obama. O' course!

@coffee_anytime Seems there was a time he was borderline normal...

Sure. Just burying it bc it doesn’t fit their narrative on The View.

@Aliceshaw25 No

If the 22nd Amendment were repealed, enabling Donald Trump to seek a third presidential term, would you support him with your vote? A. Absolutely yes B. No

@Cloud1a7 And Republicans will condemn everyone named, except 1.

@dantypo Is there no apparatus or procedure for removing a sitting senator? I mean, he's been out of it going on 2 years now!

This is absolutely unbelievable. It’s not sad. It’s pathetic. It’s not a shame. It’s shameful.

I've been reading the Epstein files. What’s inside them is horror and evil beyond language. Pedophilia. Rape. Cannibalism. CSA. Kidnapping. Trafficking. Children spoken about as food. Code words like pizza. Photographs of molds taken from real children’s body parts used as decorations. The elite. The parties. The auctions. Major corporations involved. Businesses woven into everyday American life, including the company nearly every school uses for student photos. This was protected. Investigations obstructed. Evidence buried or destroyed. Sweetheart deals granted. Victims silenced with threats, NDAs, settlements, and intimidation. This was financed and laundered through shell companies and complex money trails. It was international. Multiple countries. Multiple jurisdictions. Not one island. Not one network. Recruitment pipelines where children were groomed, coerced, and forced to recruit other children. Abuse discussed casually. Suffering treated like logistics. Blackmail. Documentation used as leverage. Powerful people insulated by proximity to politics, royalty, and intelligence-adjacent circles. Out of thousands of children referenced, named, or implied, only around thirty are accounted for. The rest are missing. Erased. Unanswered. People joking about what they’ve done. Joking about what they plan to do next. This is not conspiracy. This is documentation. I do not know how one could witness what happened on Epstein Island and not turn away. This is the kind of evil that makes hell seem embarrassed. No deity, no devil, no myth feels sufficient to hold it. What is in these files is so grotesque, so deliberate, so organized, that every single party involved must be held accountable. Not some. Not a few. All of them. Your politics do not matter here. Democrats and Republicans are named. Celebrities and CEOs are named. Corporations are named. Defending any of them over the safety of children is complicity. We must stand together, united beyond party, fame, or wealth, to end this evil and protect every child. WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH!!!! This is also your reminder, if you read them, to take breaks. Step away when your body tells you to. Drink water. Ground yourself. You are allowed to protect your nervous system while demanding justice. Reset is not complacency. It is survival. WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH!!!

Emergency Rally 🚨 Homeowners. Small business owners. Renters. We are coming together because pushing a property tax increase in this economy is not the answer.

Join us TODAY at 5:00PM. Let City Hall hear us loud and clear.
