President Trump just submitted plans to paint white the Eisenhower building in Washington, D.C., a massive 19th Century structure that used to house the State Department and the Department of War. This is going to look so good.


The main reason Britain is not speaking German is the RAF, Royal Navy and British Army. The Army held off the Germans and made it out of Dunkirk, the Navy was far stronger than Germany’s, and the RAF won the Battle of Britain. Wish we’d stop with this bullshit.

Socialist Mayor Mamdani is facing backlash for preventing New Yorkers from celebrating America’s 250th birthday. He literally is locking the public out of Times Square and denying permits for the people to celebrate our nation's greatest milestone.
