HOLY $&!T: Trump gets DISASTROUS news from his OWN LAWYER
Former White House attorney Ty Cobb, who worked for the Trump administration from July 2017 to May 2018, has made a bold prediction that former President Donald Trump will end up convicted and imprisoned as investigations into the trove of classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago intensify. Cobb believes that the evidence against Trump in relation to these documents, separate from the ongoing investigation in Georgia, will lead to a conviction and prison time. He points to Trump's alleged movement of the documents, false filings with the Justice Department, and other misrepresentations as evidence of guilty knowledge. The Department of Justice is examining whether Trump obstructed justice by bringing classified documents to Mar-a-Lago, and Cobb asserts that if anyone else had engaged in similar actions, they would likely face prosecution. Cobb's statement is significant given his former role as Trump's lawyer and suggests more legal trouble soon coming for the former president.
Extremely sick interview with anti-trans mom goes horribly wrong
In an interview on CNN, an anti-transgender mom named Darcy Schoening expressed her unfounded concerns about various forces aiming to make children gay or transgender. She linked teachers’ unions, President Biden, and undisclosed funding sources to this alleged agenda, claiming that it seeks to undermine the family unit and conservative values. However, there is no evidence supporting her claims of a coordinated plot. Schoening's accusations against teachers and political leaders are baseless and illogical, as the push for inclusivity and respect for LGBT individuals in schools is about creating a safe and equitable learning environment. Her views reveal a misunderstanding and fear of societal progress toward equality, highlighting the need for education and understanding to promote the acceptance of LGBT folks.

Was Trump actually NOT the worst President in history?
While Donald Trump is often criticized as the worst president of all time, it’s important to compare him to the man who’s arguably held that title for over a hundred years, James Buchannan. Trump was certainly a divisive and racially charged president, hesitating to condemn white supremacy and advocating discriminatory policies. However, Buchanan, a pro-slavery Democrat, was even worse. Buchanan supported the Dred Scott decision denying rights to African-Americans, pressured Kansas to adopt a pro-slavery constitution, and endorsed the secession of Southern states, which eventually led to the Civil War. Additionally, Buchanan vetoed uncontroversial bills, attempted to influence congressional elections, and failed to protect federal forts from Confederate attacks. While Trump faced crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and racial tensions, Buchanan's mishandling of the lead-up to the Civil War had far-reaching consequences, leaving the nation broken. While both men acted against the best interests of the United States, Buchanan may have betrayed his country and people in a more egregious way than Trump.

Mike Lindell has blown $40 million on election lies
During Donald Trump's canceled rally in Des Moines, Iowa, Mike Lindell, CEO and founder of MyPillow, revealed that he has spent a staggering $40 million on what he considers “election nonsense.” Lindell revealed that he intends to launch a class-action lawsuit against voting machines and is planning to offer stock to the public. However, despite his substantial investment, he admits to needing further assistance to amplify his message. Lindell's actions have taken a toll on his family life and reputation, with reports suggesting financial strain and the demise of his relationships. He also claims responsibility for Bed Bath & Beyond's bankruptcy, attributing it to their decision to stop selling his pillows. Additionally, Lindell asserts that he possesses new evidence of election crimes, which he plans to release in two weeks through the Election Crime Bureau website. The Mike Lidnell saga serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with embracing Trumpian conspiracy theories and the consequences they may have on personal and financial well-being.
