Pete Buttgieges sexual orientation is not an issue, he just has an unfortunate surname for Politics.
I have no problem with gay people at all.
It's their life, I don't accept it as normal , which of course it isn't. They don't have to shove it in our faces all the time. Gay people would not exist without heterosexual people, they should respect us for that

Disgusting that Trump has to appeal to SCOTUS to let him fire a federal reserve governor who is criminally referred over mortgage fraud. A banker is supposed to be beyond reproach like Ceaser's wife. So sa Biden judge blocked her firing. Federal appeal ,2 Biden vs 1 Trump judges agreed with the lower court One of her grounds I'd shectge first black female federal reserve governor. She is a qualified PhD yes and has additional qualifications in lying on mortgage applications.

SCOTUS will definitely not want to be seen as condoning criminally referred individuals to be the guardian of the Federal Reserve.

Kamala Harris in her upcoming book writes Tim Waltz China lover wasn't her first choice
She wanted Peter Buttgiege 💖😍,but the risk of a married gay man wasn't something she wanted at the time. You see y'all are bigoted homophobic racist slobs.
Peter Buttigiege, who once went on a paternal after his husband and him birthed a child. Took him 3 weeks to visit a small republican dominated town that had a toxic chemical spill accident.Joe Biden took over a year before he bothered to set foot there.
Democrats learnt from Obama to engage in identity politics

Turns out republicans were the snowflakes afterall.

They called us that because we said it’s not right to mock disabled people or be racist.

But now they can’t handle criticism of their orange overlord.
As usual talking from one side of the mouth. People are horrified at the leftist celebration ito the death of a person who advocated debate.
The democrats that you love so much are the party that doesn't accept criticism ..
To the point that they have to murder someone in broad daylight infront of thousands of people . Like this idiot who has since been expelled from Texas State University. I bet you think he is the wronged one .

I don’t understand how someone can invest time in writing lengthy paragraphs, conducting online research, and including links, only for your AI bot to delete the post because of certain keywords.

Your bots do not understand insults or context.

If you don’t want us to use this platform, just shut it down. This effort feels lazy. There’s no insight into why the bot is deleting posts, so people can’t adjust their submissions accordingly. This seems like a careless and assinine approach.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will recognize a Palestinian state over the weekend, following President Trump's visit to the United Kingdom. Starmer delayed the recognition announcement due to Trump's visit, fearing it would cancel or harm the planned joint press conference during the visit.

Jimmy Kimmel lies on his show that Tyler Robinson was a MAGA supporter.
FCC is not amused.


This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."

"They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest."

"There are calls for Kimmel to be fired. I think you could certainly see a path forward for suspension over this."

"The FCC could make a strong argument that this is sort of an intentional effort to mislead the American people about a very core fundamental fact, a very important matter."

"Disney needs to see some change here, but the individual licensed stations that are taking their content, it's time for them to step up and say this, you know, garbage to the extent that that's what comes down the pipe in the future isn't something that we think serves the needs of our local communities. But, but this sort of status quo is obviously not, not acceptable where we are."



FAFO coming to Jimmy.It seems a coordinated effort to downplay the trans angle , spin him as a republican and or make it a love story. Shameless media .

Updated: His show has been terminated with immediate effect

BREAKING: Utah County DA reads the full text message exchange between Charlie Kirk’s assassin and his transgender boyfriend/roommate after committing the murder:

ROBINSON: "Drop what you're doing, look under my keyboard."

ROOMMATE: "You are joking right?"

ROBINSON: "I am still okay, my love. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest, I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you."

ROOMMATE: "You weren't the one who did it, right?"

ROBINSON: "I am, I am, I'm sorry."

ROOMMATE: "I thought they caught the person."

ROBINSON: "No, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. It's quiet, almost enough to get out, but there's one vehicle lingering."

ROOMMATE: "Why?"

ROBINSON: "Why did I do it? I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again. Hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it."

ROOMMATE: "How long have you been planning this?"

ROBINSON: "A bit over a week, I believe. I can get close to it, but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don't want to chance it. I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle. I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back Grandpa's rifle. IDEK if it had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me. I worry about prints. I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints."

"How the F will I explain losing it to my old man? Only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel. Remember how he was engraving bullets? The F in messages are mostly a big meme. If I see notice bulge U-W-U on Fox News, I might have a stroke, all right, I'm gonna have to leave it. That really F in sucks. Judging from today, I'd say grandpa's gun does just fine IDK. I think that was a 2K dollar scope."

"Delete this exchange. My dad wants photos of the rifle. He says, Grandpa wants to know who has what. The feds released a photo of the rifle and it is very unique. He's calling me, RN. Not answering. Since Trump got into office, my dad has been pretty diehard MAGA. I'm gonna turn myself in willingly. One of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff. Again, you are all I worry about love. Don't take any interviews or make any comments. If any police ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and stay silent."
ABC Matt Gutman describes the text exchange as loving and touching.
After failing to make Tyler a conservative,they are now turning this into a tragic love story. They want to humanize him. 'My love ,my foot.

Personally I think Tyler and his partner made the text exchange up to exonerate "her".



Gutman: We have seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon—where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it. But it was also very touching in a way that I think many of us didn’t expect. It was a very intimate portrait of this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, “my love,” and saying, “I want to protect you, my love.” So, it was this duality of someone who, the attorney said, not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but did so in front of children—which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And, on the other hand, he was speaking so lovingly about his partner
"It’s heartbreaking on so many levels, Kiera. Obviously, Charlie Kirk was murdered brutally in front of a crowd of thousands of people who watched him being shot through the neck and then essentially bleed out in front of them. I think one of the things that the attorney here made a very fine point about is that a lot of these charges—seven charges—were aggravated because children were present.

Children witnessed this. Children were put in harm’s way. That was something that, obviously, is aggravating here. That’s one of the reasons that the suspect, in addition to the alleged murder being political in nature, is facing the death penalty. They’re going for the death penalty.

On the other hand, there is this duality: a portrait of a very human person, a very human experience, from this entire family. As you mentioned, the mother essentially discovered that it was her son who had done this—the kid who had got a 34 out of 36 on the ACTs, who had a 4.0, who got a full ride to college here. That kid was the one who allegedly perpetrated this. She saw those pictures and identified him, essentially.

Then those text messages. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a press conference in which we’ve read text messages that are, a) so fulsome, so robust, so apparently, allegedly self-incriminating, and yet, on the other hand, so touching—with the suspect reaching out to his roommate, who is allegedly his boyfriend, who we understand was identified as male at birth but now identifies as female. And the terminology he used—he was trying to protect him. He kept calling him “my love.” My reason for doing this is to protect you. But also, he was asking him to delete the messages and not speak to law enforcement. So there’s this heartbreaking duality that we’re seeing play out very tragically."

Biden and Kamala sent $160 million to Canadian Company to supply electric buses to school. Districts.


Mike Netter
@nettermike
EPA head Lee Zeldin says the Biden administraiton sent $160 million dollars to a Canadian electric vehicles company.... which then pocketed the money, didn’t send the school buses promised and then declared bankruptcy!

“There was $160 million that went to a Canadian electric vehicle bus manufacturer. The Biden administration sent all of the money — They gave all the money up front. Well, guess what? They just declared bankruptcy.

They still haven't provided $95 million worth of school buses to 55 school districts. It's the American taxpayer that gets screwed.”

Wonder who from the Biden administration was on the take?


These climate change ,green energy ,carbon credits, global warming, IPCC etc are all scans to fleece money.

Obama also had Solyandra granted over $550 million loan which then went bankrupt. It's directors are known to have contributed $88K to his 2008 campaign..

What has the left got to do with this? You guys are impossible.

This is one topic I put on the back burner in my own investigation of the whole matter. This was the first thing in the whole saga that caught my attention, and made me think something is not right. Kash hurriedly announced this guy as the shooter even before any investigation, then had to walk it back

Why was this guy attempting to create a decoy? Instead of you guys asking real questions, some idiots called it a left issue, and like sheep, you all line behind them and perpetuate the culture wars.

If one person actively attempted to create a decoy, could a second person be a patsy?
Let it be known that George Zinn, the 71cyear old arrested minutes after the shooting us a well known agitator appearing in numerous protests over decades.


George Zinn, a 71-year-old Utah resident with a decades-long history as a left-wing political agitator, falsely confessed to the assassination of Charlie Kirk during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. Zinn's disruptive past includes arrests for trespassing at public events, chaotic protests, and a 2013 incident where he allegedly referenced the Boston Marathon bombing while contacting Salt Lake City Marathon organizers, asking if they needed help placing bombs. No charges were filed then, but it underscored his provocative behavior.At the UVU event, after Kirk was fatally shot by a sniper, Zinn approached police, shouting that he was the shooter and yelling, "I shot him, now shoot me." Videos showed him being restrained. He later admitted to lying to distract police from the real suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, saying he wanted to be a "martyr" to help the killer escape. A search of Zinn’s phone revealed messages supporting his intent to obstruct the investigation.Zinn was arrested for obstructing justice, a second-degree felony in Utah. After a medical episode led to his hospitalization, he was released on September 15, 2025, but rearrested shortly after. He remains in custody, with charges pending. His actions are believed to have aimed at sowing confusion during the chaotic aftermath of Kirk’s assassination


On top of that he has been charged with 4 counts of exploitation of minors, a search of his phone yielded photos of 5-12 year olds in their underwear He said he gets aroused from CP.
He is your hero?

Dirty FBI investigating you means they can suddenly seize your electronics and in the process discover anything to bankrupt or jail you. It might be unrelated to what they are investigating, show me the man I show you the crime.
So if Fox news reported that Dominion Rigging Systems stole the elections , FBI would start investigating everything about Fox, subpoena every email, memo, phone records etc and leak them for example. This would force Fox to pay $750 million .
It was basically , dare you say anything and FBI will cibe for you. Or just shut up while we get Trump locked away.

Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-Trump FBI agent [Timothy] Thibault. Arctic Frost then became Jack Smith’s elector case against citizen Trump, and now President Trump. These new records show that Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter. The case was expanded to Republican organizations. Some examples of the group[s] that [Christopher] Wray’s FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorney General’s Association [sic], and various Trump political groups. In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under investigative scope of Arctic Frost. On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk’s groups, Turning Point USA. In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. So, today, Senator Johnson [of Wisconsin] and I are making these records public for the entire country to see. And I hope a lot of people are interested in seeing what government can do when various agencies have a political agenda. My investigative work has also exposed the political way in which Peter Navarro was investigated and prosecuted. When FBI agent Thibault found out that Biden’s DOJ would prosecute Navarro, he said — “Wow, great.” That’s a quote.

His Grandma said her grandson is not a leftist. There is no other evidence of any of his family members saying he was radicalized by leftist agenda. Find it and prove me wrong.

Patel did not share any texts. He only said there is a text but never said who it was sent to. What you are quoting is a note that was reportedly destroyed.

You have all your news conflated because you are more intent on showing political leaning than your empathy for the slain.

You guys are the actual conspiracy theorists.
By 5-1 rabid evil democrats believe Tyler was a republican and conservative and hence a Trump supporter. Their evidence is
- His parents are Mormons and republicans. Once born a republican your DNA is encoded and you can t change
- He murdered a conservative . Conservatives routinely and freely murder each other, in any case Tyler hated Kirk.
,- He was not gay becaue his lover was transitioning to a woman. Conservatives generally are heterosexual.

There hope that helps you.

FBI Director Kash Patel shares newly obtained texts and findings exposing the suspect’s motive in the assassination of Charlie Kirk:

“His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left-wing ideology and even more so in these last couple of years.”

“He had a text message exchange. He the suspect with another individual in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for.”

Mister, your ilk is the one full of hate. Don't try to save face by bringing up other matters. Tyler was a radical leftist despite being brought up in a Mormon home.

Trump sues New York Times for $20 billion .


The defamation complaint, filed by Donald J. Trump in Florida’s Middle District Court (Case No. 6:24-cv-01910), targets The New York Times, Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner, Peter Baker, Michael S. Schmidt, and Penguin Random House. It focuses on the book Lucky Loser (published September 17, 2024) and three New York Times articles (September–October 2024).
Trump alleges defamation to harm his reputation, sabotage his 2024 candidacy, and influence legal cases. Five counts of defamation per se under New York law seek over $100 million, punitive damages, and injunctive relief.
General Allegations Against All Defendants
Defendants published false book, articles to harm Trump’s 2024 campaign.
They refused to retract falsehoods, doubling down on damaging statements.
New York Times has long-term bias against Trump, aiding Democrats.
Falsehoods caused stock decline, brand damage, and emotional distress.

Book and First Article Allegations
(The New York Times, Craig, Buettner, Penguin Random House)Book, article falsely claim Trump inherited wealth via tax fraud.

They falsely state" The Apprentice " created Trump’s celebrity persona.

Article misrepresents Trump Tower’s 26th floor as musty, damaged.
Craig, Buettner avoided positive sources, used biased investigation methods.

Second Article Allegations (The New York Times, Peter Baker)
Article falsely claims Trump cheated at military academy with medals.
It falsely alleges Trump cheated to gain college admission.

Third Article Allegations (The New York Times, Michael S. Schmidt)
Article falsely portrays Trump as aspiring dictator, using unreliable sources.

Broader Allegations of Pattern
New York Times spread falsehoods in Russia collusion hoax.
Defendants dismissed hoax exposure as biased, continuing defamation pattern.
They systematically ignored positive claims, publishing negative hit pieces.


https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.447437/gov.uscourts.flmd.447437.1.0.pdf

The case is filed in Florida, where a jury is more likely balanced.
From the looks it's very easy to prove that. If Alex Jones was fined $1B ,Trump should get the $20 Billion and bankrupt the NYT. Wishful thinking they will settle out of court for lesser $20 million , issue an apology and the money goes to the Presidential library.
NYT at the time thought Trump would never win so they went for the jugular. Karma .

Joe Biden is having trouble with donors , one suggested they can fund a mobile library 😯😯😯
