He stole money. What a shitty father to fearmonger to his kid. Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles reportedly raised more than $23,000 on the fundraising platform in 2014, pledging to use the money to build a children’s burial ground named for his stillborn child.

Walmart is selling you an unprofitable TV that watches everything you do and reports it back to their $6.4 billion advertising machine. And the TV literally won't turn on until you give them permission. This is one of the most sophisticated consumer surveillance operations in history and 150 million people walk into their stores every single week with no idea it's happening. Here's the full story: In December 2024, Walmart bought Vizio for $2.3 billion. Everyone assumed it was about selling more TVs. But it had nothing to do with TVs. Vizio's TV hardware business was actually LOSING money, posting a $6.7 million loss in its final quarter as an independent company. The advertising division made $115.8 million in profit that same quarter. Walmart bought 19 million living rooms - not a TV company. In March 2026, Walmart flipped the switch. Every new Vizio TV now requires a mandatory Walmart account before you can access any smart features. No account, no streaming apps. Without signing in, your TV is useless. The moment you create that account, something called Automatic Content Recognition activates. ACR runs silently in the background, taking screenshots of everything displayed on your screen and comparing them against a database to identify exactly what you're watching, second by second, across 700 TV networks and over 100 streaming apps. It knows what you watched, when you watched it, how long you watched it, and what you did afterward. Now here's the part that makes this genuinely unprecedented in the history of retail: Walmart ALREADY knows what 150 million Americans buy every week. They know your grocery habits, your clothing preferences, your pharmacy purchases, your financial behavior through Walmart Pay, and your location data from the app. But what they couldn't see was the 4 to 6 hours a day Americans spend staring at their television screens. By connecting your Walmart account to your Vizio TV, they've closed that loop. They can now prove that you saw a 30 second ad for gardening soil Sunday night and bought that exact brand at Walmart Monday morning. L'Oréal is already signed on as a launch partner for this kind of targeting. The math on this is just insane: Walmart Connect, their advertising arm, generated $6.4 billion last year with 46% year-over-year growth. Advertising runs at 70 to 90% profit margins compared to traditional retail's 3 to 4%. Their CFO admitted that ads and membership fees already account for one-third of Walmart's total operating income. The advertising business is now more important to Walmart's bottom line than entire product categories in their stores. And they're just getting started. Analysts calculated that Walmart's ad revenue currently represents only 1% of total sales. Amazon's ad business runs at 8% of sales. The gap between where Walmart is and where Amazon is represents roughly $50 billion in untapped advertising revenue. The Vizio deal is the bridge to get there. This is WHY they're selling certain TVs at a loss. When you break down the $2.3 billion acquisition across 19 million households, Walmart paid $121 per living room. A lifetime of behavioral viewing data from a household that also shops at Walmart is worth infinitely more than that. The cheap TV is a trojan horse. Vizio has already been fined $2.2 million by the FTC for secretly collecting viewing data on 11 million TVs without consent. The Texas Attorney General sued them for "spying on Texans." Walmart bought them anyway and made the surveillance MANDATORY. The company that built its empire promising everyday low prices is becoming the most powerful advertising platform in the world, and the TV in your living room is the entry point. What do you think?

Donald Trump’s spiritual advisor Robert Morris has been released from prison after serving just six months for raping a 12 year old girl. Yes, the judge was a Republican that donated to Trump’s campaign.

@NotHoodlum Who knew painting granite would be a problem?

According to the Interior Department, Trump’s slop job on the Reflecting Pool is behind schedule and has developed bubbles and holes in the waterproof coating. The paint is uneven and covered with spots, smears and blotches. nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/…

GROSS GESTAPO: The former executive of Boca Raton, Fla.-based private prison company Geo Group will be tasked with leading ICE. wapo.st/4uNYeE4

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons. What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation. Truly a golden age.

Rep. Magaziner plays video of Doug Burgum boasting about wind energy production in North Dakota while he was governor. Magaziner: Were you wrong as governor to expand wind energy? Why don’t other states around the country deserve the same? We do. We deserve access to these wind and solar projects that you are blocking.

More corruption out of Florida! For liquidating our public education system, the current and immediate past Commissioners of Education get set up with lucrative jobs as Presidents of our colleges and universities. Funny how they guys become the “sole” finalist.

Reminder: According to The Heritage Foundation’s own data, there have been fewer than 100 documented cases of non-citizens voting illegally in more than 40 years.

when my 4-year-old’s daycare held a “lunch with mom” event, every single mom showed up. we all have other jobs, which is why our kids are in daycare but we took off work or actually found a way to get there in the middle of the day. and now, they’re doing an event for the dads … at 6:30 in the evening. it’s a small example, but the double standards are real.

Whatever happened to the separation of church and state?

Q: Gas prices are up. Inflation is up. Americans are having financial hardship. Is now the right time for Congress to be prioritizing a billion dollars for security at the White House and a ballroom Trump said would be paid for privately? MIKE JOHNSON: I think that's a gross misstatement of what's going on right now

If reports are true that “Alligator Alcatraz” is closing and Florida won’t be reimbursed by the federal government, taxpayers deserve answers. Floridians shouldn’t be stuck paying 1.4 billion dollars for political theater while families struggle with rising costs.

MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year? BURGUM: Intermittent or base load? MIN: All energy. 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW. BURGUM: But only when the wind is blowing and sun is shining MIN: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year -- less than 10% of China. You're clear bias against renewables is harming our national security.

NEGUSE: My understanding is a no bid contract is reserved for situations where delay would cause serious injury. What's the injury with the reflecting pool? BURGUM: We had 19 fountains across the city that didn't work NEGUSE: That's the serious injury to the government?! And who picked this company? Trump said 'I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing swimming pools'

Rep. Grijalva: Construction related to the border wall project damaged a 1,000 year old indigenous archaeological site. Did the DOI consult with the Tohono O'odham Nation before construction began? Burgum: Well, uh... it was a portion of the site Rep. Grijalva: It was 60%. Burgum: Well, photographs I saw would have been less

They’re all hypocrites…the further right they preach the more they’re trying to hide.

He’s an impulsive imbecile.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents in Brentwood, New York were caught, on a security camera, walking through a backyard where CHILDREN live… with their guns already drawn. In the video, one agent walks directly up to the back door holding a gun, knocks, and yells “POLICE.” Another agent is standing nearby with his weapon pointed directly at the door. Then another agent walks towards the house, from the backyard, after appearing to be looking around the private property. At no point do they announce a warrant, or claim there is an emergency situation. Just federal agents with guns drawn… surrounding a home where kids live. Federal agents are NOT allowed to just enter private property, surround homes, and intimidate families without judicial authorization. A warrant is supposed to be signed by a judge, specifically describe the place being searched, and be presented when demanded. And unless there is an immediate threat to life or public safety, pointing guns at a residence during a nonviolent immigration operation can very quickly cross into excessive force territory under the Constitution. This is exactly why constitutional protections exist in the first place. Because if the government can creep through backyards with guns drawn, targeting homes without presenting warrants, while children are inside… then those rights stop meaning anything at all.

The Department of Justice has authorized the Trump administration to obtain full voter rolls from states. This comes after Trump urged the federal government to "take over" elections.
