    “The Democrats have a restriction that if you get caught fixing your tractor, they bring you to JAIL. Did you know that?!”

    “I pardoned a man last week who was sentenced to SEVEN YEARS in jail because he got caught fixing his car or truck.”

    “I said, ‘what did he do?’ ‘He was fixing his truck!’

    I said, ‘how long is he getting? ‘7 years’

    I said, ‘say it again!’ It’s the first time I’ve ever heard it…

    I gave him a pardon because he had to go to JAIL because he was fixing HIS tractor or his truck. So I promise.. if you ever get caught fixing your tractor or truck, I will give you a pardon, OK?”

    Looney democrat regulation strikes again…

    The US Supreme Court could be on the verge of STRIKING DOWN California’s “election month” and late mail-in ballot shenanigans

    A case has ALREADY BEEN HEARD and multiple states’ mail-in laws may be null and void soon. MAKE IT HAPPEN

    “There is a Supreme Court case pending. Right now the courts already heard it. We’re waiting at this end of the term in June. We get all of these last decisions. The big ones. This one came out of Mississippi and it deals with a state law that says how long you can count ballots after Election Day.”

    “If they’re postmarked what the grace period is there…it’s certainly something that could be a big resounding ripple effect across the country based on what they decide Mississippi.”

    This week, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee passed H.J. Res. 1, which proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that the Supreme Court of the United States be composed of nine justices. This action will protect the Court’s legitimacy, preserve the checks and balances that safeguard our cherished freedoms, and ensure every American’s rights remain secure – no matter who holds political power.

    WOW https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg House Oversight Task Force hearing reveals that essentially the ENTIRE Bhutanese population in Ohio is on taxpayer funded Medicare or involved in fraudulent Medicare home health care companies

    It also expands into multiple states

    15,000 Bhutanese people were bussed in on Medicaid vans by Bhutanese Medicaid companies

    “I would say the majority of Bhutanese people are either on Medicaid home health care or are providing Medicaid home health care services. They had recently 15,000 people. This nonprofit group, this advocacy group, which is actually founded by a home health care guy, they had 15,000 Bhutanese people come to this party in Ohio, and they’d bussed in all the participants on their Medicaid vans, because everybody there has their own Medicaid company”

    “Bhutanese people are systematically using Medicaid, not only in Ohio, but also in Pennsylvania, and Kentucky, and New York, and in other states where they perceive that they will pay the family member, and they will pay for non-nursing services. And those are the two big vulnerabilities

    — it’s not just the Somalis, it’s also Bhutanese, it’s across multiple states. They’re coordinating with each other. There’s a network of foreigners running criminal fraud rings within our government, within our country, I should say defrauding our federal government”

    I found out they’re using shell companies

    Shell companies with empty offices and shared addresses with names linked to Somali, Bhutanese and other immigrant communities

    You’re not going to believe this, Democrats have already responded. Democrats and community advocates call it stereotyping entire ethnic groups rather than targeting individual fraud

    It’s not stereotyping, it’s pattern recognition and having more than 1 brain cell

    Send them ALL back and block all their visas for life

  11. EXCERPT: “The political committee of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy — himself well versed in the “Resistance” talking points against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — is dedicated to resisting President Donald Trump and has funded a prominent left-wing nonprofit that has been at the center of highly organized, “mass mobilization” anti-ICE protests around the country.  

    Murphy’s newly rebranded Political Action Committee, American Mobilization, donated $100,000 last year to Indivisible, a progressive movement and organization formed in the wake of Trump’s first election in 2016 and dedicated to resisting the Trump agenda, Federal Election Commission records for the PAC show.

    Indivisible says that it “drives coordinated campaigns, powering the grassroots Indivisible movement to defeat the rightwing takeover of American government” and it claims that “an alliance of white nationalists and the ultra-rich have been actively working to further undermine democracy.”

    Indivisible is part of a network of left-wing organizations that have recently been at the center of various protest movements against the Trump administration, from being the lead organizer of the No Kings rallies, to anti-ICE protests, to opposing the U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro earlier this year. 

    Network includes entities under subpoena regarding the Foreign Agent Registration Act

    Some of its partners in this network, including the People’s Forum, funded by self-proclaimed Marxist Neville Roy Singham, have drawn scrutiny from lawmakers for alleged foreign ties, specifically to China and Cuba, as well as possible violations of nonprofit laws. This network has been responsible for organizing the most prominent demonstrations against the Trump administration. Just the News previously reported on the subpoena targeting Singham…..”

    OMG. A MASSIVE India H-1B visa fraud ring has just been busted…nearly 90% PERCENT of India’s visa applications contain FRAUDULENT INFORMATION

    100,000 THOUSAND counterfeit certificates have been seized

    “Law enforcement in India claim it has uncovered a network of universities that produce fake degrees which were possibly used to obtain these high skilled H1B visas, including one school which allegedly stole over 36,000 fake degrees. It cost as little as $1,400 for one of those.”

    “And while these are supposed to be high skilled employees during almost all of Biden’s time in office, 83% got junior or entry level positions.”

    1. dang…that’s a shame. I did the same with the feeder one winter with a blue jay though. I put seeds and peanuts on the opposite side railing for them and occasionally the ends of bread. when they pigs ate all they one tried to dominate the feeder for the smaller birds. I chased it and chased it and eventually hubby had to shoot it. (I took the feeder in and it keep flying at the front door.)

    Yesterday, the DOJ arrested three individuals in Kansas and California charged in a depraved plot to support ISIS.

    The facts of the case are extremely disturbing.

    MCENANY: “One said it was ‘sick’ if his name was on a drone that would kill American service members.”

    “Another person said they always wanted to kill a female soldier by beheading.” 

    “I wish I could kill 300 million Americans.”

    “These are bad guys and now they’re indicted.”

    BLANCHE: “Yes. This is a very disturbing case.”

    “You have young men, they’re in their 20s, completely indoctrinated by terrorism and terrorists and actually spending money to actually follow through on these attacks.”

    “Like you just said, one wanted their name written on a drone to kill Americans. One fantasized about killing a female soldier by beheading her.”

    “And, look, another great example of hard working FBI agents and our federal prosecutors in California and Kansas and working together and I’m glad we were able to interject here and stop these men.”

    “But it’s a good reminder to the Americans that this fight is not over. There are still a lot of people that want to inject harm into this country and our citizens.”

  27. i was out helping hubby clean out the tractor. that’s right i said out not off. it seems a family of mice thought the inner cavity of the tractor would be a great house. sigh. they weren’t dead or whatever, but there was considerable grass clippings and leaves and crap in there and he had to take it partially apart to clean it out. Then he tells me, the mouse that ran into the garage the other week while we were unloading the generator CAME from the tractor. that’s why it didn’t run back to its hole in the bank beside the garage because it didn’t come from there. sigh.

  31. Just The News: “President Trump suggested on Friday that the American people should have an ownership stake in Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies. 

    “There are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner with the companies,” Trump said Friday on Air Force One. “There’s something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership with the American public, and we’ll look into that,” he also said.

    Trump explained that he plans to further discuss the idea with leaders of AI companies. “We’re talking about it, where the American people can benefit from the success of AI,” he said. “It would be a beautiful thing and it would make them rich.”

    Bill O’Reilly says that E. Jean Carroll must be criminally prosecuted

    It turns out she wasn’t paid a little bit to lie about Donald Trump and target him, she was paid a lot. $7 MILLION in funding for her lawsuits against Trump

    “The E. Jean Carroll fraud should be prosecuted. That is the most outrageous story — It’s so outrageous that the woman testifies in a deposition under oath that nobody is helping her, no lawyer is helping her, no pro bono, and then we find out she got $7 million”

    The lawyer was connected to Jeffrey Epstein and is a Democrat donor

    I’ll break down what happened

    Carroll’s lawyers Kaplan Hecker & Fink received $7 million from a nonprofit tied to billionaire Reid Hoffman. He is a LinkedIn co-founder and major Democratic donor and tied to Epstein

    In a 2022 deposition, Carroll testified under oath that no one was helping her financially with legal fees. She said no pro bono, no outside funding

    She lied, like they all always do

    If we don’t have accountability in America then why are any of us following any laws and paying taxes

  37. Just The News: “NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he welcomes President Donald Trump’s attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Trump’s attendance would mark the first time a setting president has gone to an NBA Finals game between the Knicks and Spurs. 

    “Before he ever ran for office, he was a big Knicks fan,” Silver said of Trump, according to the New York Times. “I’ve been with the league for a long time. I was there at many Knicks games with him in the old days. He attended many of our drafts when they used to take place at Madison Square Garden, and he actually appeared in one of our ‘I love this Game’ spots when I was running NBA Entertainment years ago.”

    House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is among the Democrats criticizing Trump for planning to go to the game. “Stay away. Why does this guy always have to make everything about himself and ruin a good thing? After 27 years of being out of the NBA Finals, we’re now up 2-0. The city is in a frenzy,” he said. “Everybody’s coming together, and somehow this guy has to parachute in with his divisive self.”

    Silver said he’s thrilled that a sitting president will be at the game.

    “I think sports in particular is something where we can emphasize what we have in common, not what pulls us apart,” Silver said. “It creates a sense of belonging. We’re seeing that in New York, and I think President Trump is very much a New Yorker and I’m thrilled that yet another New Yorker wants to participate in the enthusiasm and the joy around this Knick team.”
