Washington Post says renovated reflecting pool in DC looks the same after Trump spent $10 million plus to renovate.

Media thanks liberals are stupid. I'd be hard pressed to not include many here that media plays mind games on.

The pool was greenish because of algae.which has been removed.

What has happened at the 2026 World Cup over the last 48 hours:

• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.

• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.

• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.

• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.

• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.

• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.

• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.

• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.

• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

Nancy Mace was on oga side and a staunch supporter, what went wrong ?
It must have pained her to be kicked out

Is she a team player. Boss needs to show her . Democrats use Epstein to tar and feather him.

The political relationship between South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace and Donald Trump has been a volatile, "hot-and-cold" alliance defined by a cycle of public fallout, strategic reconciliation, and a final campaign-ending fracture.
The Initial Post-Jan. 6 Fallout (2021–2022)
The Break: Following the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot, Mace fiercely slammed Trump, stating his entire legacy had been "wiped out".
The Primary Revenge:
In response, Trump labelled Mace a "grandstanding loser" and backed challenger Katie Arrington in the 2022 primary. Mace defiantly filmed a campaign ad outside Trump Tower, relied on support from former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and won the primary despite his opposition.
The MAGA Reconciliation (2023–2025)The Pivot Right:
Realizing the need to mend fences with the conservative base, Mace shifted sharply to the right. She voted to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy, backed Trump over Haley in the 2024 presidential primary, and spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
The Reward:
Trump embraced her change of heart, endorsed her for congressional reelection, and openly floated her name as a potential vice-presidential running mate.
The 2026 Fracture: The Epstein Files
The Defiance:
The relationship fractured again when Mace joined House Democrats to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, aiming to release unredacted Department of Justice files on convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Mace explicitly stated that as a survivor herself, she refused to compromise her principles for a political endorsement.
The Gubernatorial Snub: In late May 2026, Trump retaliated by bypassing Mace's high-profile campaign for South Carolina Governor to officially endorse her rival, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette. Mace openly conceded that her insistence on uncovering the Epstein files was the sole reason she lost Trump's favor.
The Political Defeat: Deprived of Trump's endorsement, Mace's gubernatorial bid collapsed. In the June 9, 2026 primary, Mace finished in a distant fifth place with just 12.2% of the vote. Conceding the race, she immediately endorsed state Attorney General Alan Wilson ahead of his upcoming June 23 runoff election against the Trump-backed Evette.

She isn't a team player. She should run to Daddy and beg for an ambassadorial post in Guatemala or Sicily. Instead she promoted someone else whose blood isn't as red as MAGA.

Memo here.

https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/fbi-anti-catholic-memo.pdf
Of note, in the footnotes and appendices of the memo, the FBI's main source for defining who and what defined a hate group was, wait for it: The Southern Poverty Law Center.

Four intelligence analysts and their supervisor were fired on Friday.
Cris Wray had lied to Jim Jordan Committee that it was a byproduct from one office only , subsequent documents subpoenad revealed two other field offices had an input. These were the Portland and Los Angeles field offices.

The FBI was on a fishing expedition to unlawfully surveil and target Catholics.

Key takeaways. Religious persecution and SPLC.

Okay..So it was a rumor. Most of those conspiracy theories usually turn out to be true.

LA county mailed 5.9 ballots.. Those eligible to vote for mayor are roughly 2.3 million ,so 1.4 million have not bothered to mail back their votes.
That's different from actually going out to the polling center ,it doesn't take much effort. That figure you don't think it's too high .
Could it because there are hundreds of thousands of ineligible voters . Which is why California plus 29 other states have been sued by DOJ to provide their voter rolls, incidentally a judge agreed with them.

I'm trying to be civil so that I understand how Americans vote.

Karin Khan the ICC Prosecutor has been suspended over sexual harassment allegations.

Gemini.
According to reports from the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), Khan was privately confronted by the court's governing body about the sexual misconduct claims weeks before his sudden May 2024 announcement regarding Netanyahu. This perspective suggests he created a massive international political firestorm to make himself "too controversial to fire," hoping any future disciplinary action would look like political retaliation. Furthermore, the accuser testified to UN investigators that Khan specifically told her, "Think about the Palestinian arrest warrants," in an attempt to convince her to drop her claims.The Argument That the Allegations Are Political RetaliationConversely, Khan's supporters and legal team argue the exact opposite. They point out that the public leak of the sexual harassment claims coincided heavily with the ICC's move against Israeli leadership.From this viewpoint, the allegations were intentionally weaponized or amplified by external political actors to undermine Khan's credibility, halt the Gaza war crimes investigation, and derail the arrest warrants. They emphasize that the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber judges independently reviewed and validated the forensic evidence before officially issuing the warrants in November 2024, demonstrating that the indictment was built on a real legal basis rather than a personal defence....

The ICC put a cloud on Netanyahu

Be logical. The first batch heavily went for Karen Bass in the opening days.
Later the vote dumps started going for the other democrat.
Those are mail in ballots .How possible that in the first 2 or 3 day Bass was winning. Then after that she stops winning..
The later dumps shifted to the other democrat.
How possible
There was a batch from 39.2 to 42% that had zero votes for Platt.

Mathematically impossible.
Maybe a question you may want to avoid to avoid.
LA county mailed out over 5.9 million votes to all in the voter rolls How many have been acted upon. Where are the remaining people who haven't voted ,the figure is around 3.4 million who got ballots but chose to ignore them.

ijebosb:
This is how braindead Republicans think.
They ignore every inconvenient fact and throw bullsh*t in the air so they can be victims over and over.

LA is a 4-1 Democratic stronghold.
Bass is the current mayor.
The LA times preelection poll had Bass and Raman winning.
In fact Bass would have handily beaten Pratt if it were Bass vs. Pratt.

So, Basilico is arguing that
1.) the current mayor of LA allowed cheating so that Raman, someone who will be harder to beat, could win.
2.) And they did all this so that Pratt, who all polls had losing, and who Bass would easily beat, would lose in the first round?
3.) And they had to do this in liberal LA with a 4-1 democratic advantage.

Honestly, the conspiracy is so stupid it is tailor made for braindead people.

Biden-era border policies (record encounters, gotaways, reduced interior enforcement) contributed to broader uncontrolled flows, including livestock and vectors. Trump officials like Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins explicitly tie the timing of the surge (starting 2023) to this. Models predicted U.S. entry around 2025; delays came from later actions.

The level of TDS is amazing. Democrats have to turn every negative into a Trump is responsible thing. I'd be expecting media to be educating the public on the screwworms thing but all I see is Trump to blame..
