Trump on Guilfoyle: “Didn‘t like what I read.”
Hmm.
Usually when that happens he calls it fake news.
Was there no internal investigation or did he act solely on what he read in the dreaded mainstream media?

Through the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, we gave the president significant authorities and leverage against China and Russia to bring Putin’s war to an end with a negotiated settlement. Unfortunately, while I understand the desire to bring down diesel prices, I am concerned the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil will only fund the Kremlin’s war machine—emboldening more violence and destruction, as we have seen in recent days.

A rare backtrack by President Trump. He says his MAGA Inc. group will pay for the TV campaign ads that he was originally paying for with taxpayer dollars.

SCOOP: Last year, a pro-Ken Paxton super PAC received a $250K donation from “Paul McLaren,” a supposed “entrepreneur” in Plano, TX. But there is no such person. The real donor is a Texas businessman, Ben Pogue, whose dad Trump pardoned. (W/ @wsteaks) politico.com/news/2026/10/02…

But it very well might have more electoral votes than any of the other 50 states.
If Canada were a U.S. state, it would rank dead last in per capita GDP.
Canada: $55,760, per IMF data.
Mississippi, the lowest state: $55,877
It is a pathetic little country that murders its own citizens because it cannot provide them basic healthcare, does not meet its NATO responsibilities and uses the U.S. defense budget to subsidize its massive welfare state.

This whole post is ignorant. The White House tv pool was created because many rooms in the White House, e.g. the Oval Office, are too small to accommodate all the tv outlets who may want to cover a presidential event. The same is true for Air Force One and presidential motorcades. So one network covers for all on a rotating basis. To be a part of it, an organization must have present every day a full broadcast crew, a producer or reporter and the equipment and personnel needed to record and distribute the video shot by the pool crew. At the moment, only a handful of outlets qualify. Back when ABC, CBS and NBC were dominant, they tried to keep CNN out of the pool. But CNN had the equipment and personnel to do the pool job and were admitted by court order. "Anyone with a camera," as this writer says would not qualify. And he suggests the White House could cover these events. Then it would be "official" for sure. Would he really like that better?
The “primary White House TV pool” is a completely made-up thing dressed up to look official. It is basically a group of self-important, so-called media organizations that, over time, appointed themselves “primary” and now expect everyone else to accept that they are entitled to some permanent special status above everyone else.
The whole thing is a racket made to look like an official institution. Why does anyone still buy into this crap?
Anyone with a camera can provide this footage. The White House itself could provide it. Any other organization could provide it. There is nothing inherently special about this self-appointed group, except that they have spent years telling everyone there is.
19.9 per gallon during a price war on West Dixie Highway in Miami in about 1970. Standard price was 29.9.
And I continue my quest to understand the .9
It's the only product I know of where you cannot pay the posted price. Go buy a gallon and try to pay the posted price

"When I stood on the sidelines at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium Saturday night and looked up at the seats filled with incredible fans, I saw Longhorns. It’s the same remarkable view I have at graduation ceremonies and anytime I’m on campus. I’m proud to celebrate all our Longhorn students today and every day. Thank you for making us proud." Kevin P.
