Melania is a normal person who is not pretentious to claim what she isn't. She is happy as a housewife. She could have bought a degree with her money if she was trying to raise shoulder. So make Una chill and stop worshipping her to who she never claimed to be. You guys are just cultists for no reason. Melania is not self promoting so no need to promote her and disparage other first ladies, otherwise we would give you a dose of reality by pulling out their CVs to compare to the housewife.
You are the who nonchalantly refered to her as a nude model with only a school leaving certificate.
When it comes to billionaires with the same you have an excuse .
Now tell us if Trumps daddy didn't have money ,Trump would be a shoeshiner .

Trump not joking. Gen Milley thought Trump is gone for good.
Being a bad ass general he can afford a gun to protect himself .
He should be court martiallled and also tried for treason.
This is not 2017,when Trump didn't know his enemies

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has informed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff retired Army Gen. Mark Milley that he is revoking his personal security detail and suspending his security clearance, according to senior defense officials.

Hegseth is also directing the acting Department of Defense Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine whether he should keep his rank as a retired-four star general, due to his actions undermining the chain of command at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term

Remember all those people on this site who told us Trump was not connected to Project 2025?
Were they Liars, Intellectually Dishonest or just Stupid?
You are very stupid. Project2025 had proposals on how to rebuild America after the disaster that was Joe Biden.
Some of their ideas were similar to President Trumps.
They didn't work together.
Two people can have identical plans,but they don't work together.

cococandy,the WH spox had this to say about eggs.

What is also that (the egg shortage) is that the Biden Administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the MASS KILLING of more than 100 million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore a lack of egg supply,” she said.


Away the hullabaloo about eggs, you probably missed a lot of goodies from Trump 2.0. Time to catch up?

No federal support for under 19 year gender transitions. Let the leftist sue and convince a judge why a kid who can't buy a beer can consent to change his sex.
If I was Trump I would investigate anyone who complains about this for possible paedo tendencies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at cutting federal support for gender transitions for people under age 19, his latest move to roll back protections for transgender people across the country.

“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” the order says.

The order directs that federally-run insurance programs, including TRICARE for military families and Medicaid, exclude coverage for such care and calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue litigation and legislation to oppose the practice.

Medicaid programs in some states cover gender-affirming care. The new order suggests that the practice could end, and targets hospitals and universities that receive federal money and provide the care.

The language in the executive order — using words such as “maiming,” “sterilizing” and “mutilation” — contradicts what is typical for gender-affirming care in the United States. It also labels guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health as “junk science.”


It's only week 2

Trump is seeing how big of a dictator he can be.
He's scuttling the Constitution and the defined roles of the Executive and Congress.
Unfortunately, this Congress doesn't seem interested in stopping him.

The DOJ went after him specifically to prevent him from running in 2024.
They twisted every law to jail him , bankrupt him, block him from running, destroy every ally of his, destroy the maga movement. When that all failed they tried to assassinate him twice.
An investigation is overdue on the corrupt actors and bodies that sought to finish him.

Rather than investigate Planned Parenthood, then California Attorney General Kamala Harris met with top Planned Parenthood officials in 2016 and subsequently ordered criminal investigations into Merritt and Daleiden while the next state attorney general, Xavier Becerra, eventually charged them with violating California’s recording law.......

I've been writing about the deep state actors who need to be throughly investigated. Kash Patel investigated Russiagate, his report was buried by FBI and was probably what they were looking for when they raided Melania's closet.
Kash Patel has a list of these bad actors, the Senate call it an enemy list and thus he should not be the FBI Director.
In other words any opinion you hear from anyone on this list is at best dubious and self serving.

Glad it will help with the spreading fires! Nothing like natural wetness to calm the dryness of many months.
That's good. Had Newscum listened to Trump way back in 2019, there would have been less damage. Instead they mocked him. California voters shouldn't just vote for anyone with a D before their names . That should be lessons learnt.

This here is the stupid question you should’ve asked yourself when y’all made the cost of eggs into a political point during Biden’s administration.

It’s almost like you guys rung face first into the point and somehow still miss it.

How do you learn? Do you need your head physically opened up with screws and information manually dumped into your cranial space for you to catch on?

Did you understand this post? Phew 😮‍💨.

What a waste of time
You need to go slow. You need to understand that I'm glad Trump won, more elated when he finally took the oath .
As to eggs prices Kamala would by now be setting the retail prices blaming food processors.
Everyone promises the moon when they want to get hired/elected into a position.
Unfortunately this egg prices is a diversion to other policies being implemented but you are making it a big issue.
Enjoy you water California, Trump has sent the military to pump more water for California.
The egg and grocery prices will stabilize eventually. Investors are more likely to inject capital into an economy when they are sure the govt at hand is intent on tackling inflation and cutting govt largese.
Relax, the best is yet to come. Look at the bigger picture.

Where are those crying when Biden pardoned Liz and others?

Awon oniyeye
There is nothing wrong with that. The prosecutors twisted the law regarding obstruction of proceedings arising from the Enron case regarding destruction of documents
They charged J6 with obstructing the proceedings of congress using that Enron derived law. As a result 330 cases had parts of the indictments thrown out, a colossal waste of govt funds

Trump said he will investigate the investigators. If they had done nothing wrong they should be glad so that the stench of corrupt prosecutions doesn't hang on them if they are cleared.
(Methinks they will start squealing about their Conspiracy to prevent a candidate from getting elected).

Trump has sent the military to California to help with water supply to fight the fires. Environmental activists prevented fresh water from being used by the residents in order to save a fish specimen.
An aquifer that would have helped put out the fires was empty ...
Joe would have done this also in his last few weeks but he was too busy drawing up list of the potential criminals to pardon.

Ijebos bolded three links to where Republicans foiled bills relating to illegal immigration , blaming Trump of course.
Meanwhile Trump policies are working without those bipartisan bills. We also know Mexico is stopping human caravans from transiting through.

FOX News reports:
Border agents record shockingly-low number of illegal crossings, one week into second Trump presidency

Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.

The numbers have fallen even further since Jan. 20, and a Fox News Digital exclusive last week found that the numbers dropped sharply.

A total of 2,523 border encounters were logged in the first three days of the Trump administration, with daily tallies of 1,073, 736, and 714 from January 20 to January 22, respectively.


Expect the media to scream that the illegal border crossings should be zero.
But but but the prices of eggs is high smiley smiley

If you know anyone living with HIV, say a prayer for them or maybe help them with money so they can source their anti viral medications from other sources (if possible).

You may think this doesn’t concern you. Or that the disease is in poor countries so it won’t come here. But new strains of HIV resistant to anti-viral medication is bad news for the whole world no matter how good you think you’ve got it where you are.
HIV is bad, in Africa retrovirals are given away for free. When he was president, they were still given away for free. I have not seen any indication that they will now be sold, given that I work for an org that does a lot of good across Africa with the help from donor money. I'm not allowed to reveal whether Trump policies will affect us for now.

Again the news spotlight is on the negatives of what people voted him for. Maybe it might be better if before he fixes anything, he asks for permission from the media. Win win situation ,my foot

You’re not very smart.

Of course it’s not trump’s policy that’s causing eggs to go up. At least not right now anyway. Bird flu has been in circulation many months before the end of Biden’s presidency.

You and your fellow dumbasses did not consider that when you used it to campaign against Biden. Worse still you believed Trump would solve it on day one. Like typical morons who don’t understand how anything works. You actually believed he’ll magically make bird flu disappear and egg prices to stabilize overnight.
Where was your brain then?

Now you want to pretend to use it? No one takes you people seriously. Because when you are not painfully ignorant, you’re willfully obtuse and Intellectually dishonest.

We hold the president responsible for the price of eggs. Keep the same energy. Especially since his policies now will be affecting farmers in the thousands.
I asked you. What magic wand does Trump have to waive away bird flu?
He is working on cheap gas for a start, eggs are trucked all over if you didn't know.
