Mamdani’s Latest Show of Support for Mahmoud Khalil: A Dinner Invitation

“In June 2025, Zohran Mamdani, then still a relatively unknown state lawmaker, made a video calling for the release of Mahmoud Khalil, an activist who had been detained under President Trump’s crackdown for his role in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia.”

Purple Hearts. And the lovely & wonderful President Joe Biden did his best to right this wrong. This was known history so people who voted for Donald knew exactly what they were getting.

Karoline Leavitt Confirms Reuters Report that More than 150 US troops had been injured so far in the war, considerably raising the Pentagon’s Claim that Only 8 Had Been Injured. The Pentagon then confirmed 140 injured.

We cannot trust any of this Gov’s numbers.

Post by Occupy Democrats on Facebook:  

BREAKING: WTAF??? Accused pedophile Donald Trump says that girls have to be "of age, like above six years old," in a completely bizarre and very disturbing dementia rant at the Republican retreat!
In what appears to be an appeal to Congress to pass his election-stealing "Save America Act" which would make it wildly difficult for married women to vote, Trump went on a deeply insane tangent in which he appeared to claim that he considered young girls above six years old to be "of age."

"And I put that down as a top three. Look, no mail-in.  Now, you have the exceptions for the military, and ! would even say foreign-based military. But for the military, for disability, for illness. And if you're traveling, you know, you have an excuse. And I was lenient on that. But those three things. Then I added two more. These are best of. You know, best of.

These are called best of Trump..." rambled the president.

"We should also add on to this bill. And so what I've asked Mike to do is to draw a new one with these few things added. And let's go for the gold."

Then he got very, very, creepy.

"Let's not just get one like voter ID, but, you know, it can be given to you by your daughter. You know, your daughter, she has to be of age, like above six years old, she's allowed to say. You had to see some of this stuff is so bad. They're doing everything possible."

What the f*ck does THAT mean?

Is this the most damning Freudian slip of alll

The social media post on Facebook by Occupy Democrats continued with a picture of Donald on the bottom during this speech looking out of it:

Trump has previously spoken of his "age limit" when it came to girls...in that he doesn't have one. In an interview with Howard Stern in 2006, Trump said "if
1- No, no, I have no age-. I mean, I have an age li... "! don't want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds!"

Was he sanitizing his sexual appetites for the media and now letting the truth slip in the throes of dementia? In his birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein, he said they "shared certain things," and Epstein was notorious for his hunger for very, very young girls. Is that what they shared?

Even in the most generous reading of this statement, it makes no sense whatsoever.
So either the President of the United States is demented beyond comprehension, or he's a demented pedophile beyond all comprehension.

Release the files. ALL THE FILES. NOW!

I think they’re under instructions to keep funding until the end of the song because otherwise it would be unclear why Donald is not beginning his speech. And Dona I’lld as a production value thought it was important that the whole song play. And he liked the look of people farting the whole time.

The Lithuanians love us! I recall the thousands that went to the dignified transfer of our 4 fallen soldiers last year to send them off on the plane trip to America. Rather than go to the airport to greet our fallen, Donald went golfing.

I’m very happy to hear that Lithuania is on this case!

A post on Facebook by The Other 98%:

Fox News has completed its transformation into full state propaganda, and this weekend they got caught red-handed. On Saturday, March 8th, trump attended the dignified transfer of six soldiers killed in Kuwait during Operation Epic Fury, his ongoing war with Iran. He showed up wearing a white "USA" baseball cap with gold lettering, straight from his own $55 merch line, and never took it off. No other U.S. president has ever worn a baseball cap during a dignified transfer. While other networks aired the real footage, Fox News played old video from a completely different ceremony so their audience would never have to reckon with what their guy actually did.
Fox News later admitted on air that they
"inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday," calling it a mistake. Twice. On two separate programs. The backlash was immediate and crossed party lines. California Governor Gavin Newsom called trump a "disgusting little man," and former RNC chairman Michael Steele blasted him for having "absolutely no sense of dignity or appreciation for the moment."
This isn't just bad optics for trump, it's a revealing moment for Fox News. Social media users accused the network of blatantly disrespecting dead troops just to make trump look better, and honestly, it's hard to argue otherwise. A network that spent years policing Obama's tan suit just quietly swapped out footage of a commander in

Looks like we’ve been in a recession for a while, as I believed.

We’re just getting these numbers, but the White House has some advance notice & still went rushing into this war?

As the data continues to come into the Bureau of Labor, the trend has been to downgrade to reported figures. Hmmm.
