Democrats need to eliminate oil and gas subsidies when they get into power. Oil companies have made over $100 billion in extra profits since trumps war. They don’t need subsidies from taxpayers.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Yet another softball @nytimes.com headline using “elusive” instead of the truth; “non-existent” or “statistically irrelevant” voter fraud. Shame. 🎁 🔗 Trump Administration Begins Blitz to Find Elusive Voter Fraud Ahead of Midterms www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/u...

It seems the Trump regime’s feathers were awfully ruffled this week. One of Trump’s toadies is even going after me. Heather and I discuss that along with the state of the economy, our skyrocketing national debt, and the last gasp of the corporate Democrats.

Well worth the 50 minutes. They wanted to suspend habeas corpus; this is their way around it.

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.
