Trump’s behavior has become both more disturbing and yet increasingly familiar. He relies on phrases like ‘fake news,’ ‘build the wall,’ and continues to spread the divisive mentality of us-versus-them. He lies constantly, has no conscience, never admits when he is wrong, and projects all his shortcomings onto others. He has become more authoritarian, more outrageous, yet many of his followers remain blindly devoted…. His need to squash alternative information and his insistence on constant ego-stroking are all characteristics of other famous leaders – cult leaders.

It is a cult and like other cults the cult itself is the main priority of the cult, everything else is secondary. The survival of the cult overrides all else.

The bottom line
Tariffs. No income tax. No central bank deciding what your dollar is worth. That was the American System, and McKinley ran it.
Twelve years after the bullet, every piece of it was gone.
When Trump says McKinley, that is what he is pointing at. Not a dead President. A blueprint.

BREAKING: Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have reportedly raided the Washington, D.C., home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, just two days after she called for ICE to be abolished.
Fox News Digital first reported the raid Monday morning, according to Mediaite.
A Justice Department spokesperson confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant in the D.C. area as part of what it called an ongoing federal investigation. The department did not say what the investigation is about.
It's not yet known whether Omar was home at the time.
Here's the timing.
On Saturday, Omar spoke out after ICE agents in New York fired into a car with a 5-year-old boy in the back seat. She called ICE out of control, said there is no reforming the agency and called for it to be abolished.
Two days later, agents from the same department were at her door.
Omar has been a target of Trump and his allies for years. Trump has repeatedly said she should get out of the country. Just last month, MAGA influencer Laura Loomer publicly called on DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to deport her.
And as news of the raid broke, Loomer was celebrating online, calling it what she voted for.
We don't yet know what investigators are looking for. That matters, and the public deserves answers.
But a sitting member of Congress, one of Trump's most outspoken critics, had federal agents search her home days after she criticized the agency that carried it out.
That should concern every American, no matter your politics.

Who He Was Before They Made Him a Name on a Mountain
McKinley was not born into power. He was not a banker’s son. He was not connected to the Morgan network or the Rockefeller machine or any of the London-rooted financial dynasties that ran the gilded world around him.He was born in 1843 in Niles, Ohio. Seventh of nine children. His father managed blast furnaces. Iron work. Working class Ohio. His grandfather did the same. The family was Scots-Irish, Methodist, abolitionist. They moved to Poland, Ohio so the children could attend better schools. That was the extent of their privilege.
He was a schoolteacher when the Civil War broke out. Eighteen years old. He enlisted as a private in the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He did not buy his way out. He did not hire a substitute. He went.
At Antietam on September 17, 1862, the bloodiest single day in American military history, McKinley was a commissary sergeant. His unit was pinned down under Confederate fire. He loaded a mule-drawn wagon with hot food and coffee and drove it into the fire to reach his men. His commanding officer, Rutherford Hayes, watched it happen. Hayes promoted him to second lieutenant on the spot for bravery.
He spent four years fighting. He ended the war as a brevet major. The last president of the United States to have served in the Civil War. The only one who started as an enlisted man and finished as an officer.
He came home to Ohio. Studied law. Opened an office in Canton. Married Ida Saxton in 1871. Their first daughter was born on Christmas Day. Their second daughter died at four months old. Then in 1873, Ida’s mother died. Two years later their surviving daughter Katie died of typhoid fever at age three. Ida broke under it. She developed epilepsy. She spent the rest of her life as a semi-invalid. McKinley spent the rest of his life taking care of her. He seated her next to him at state dinners, breaking White House protocol, because she needed to be near him. When he was shot in Buffalo, his first words to his secretary were not about himself. They were: “My wife. Be careful, Cortelyou, how you tell her. Oh, be careful.”
That is who this man was.
Now here is what he did with that character.
In 1876, 33 coal miners in Stark County were arrested for rioting. They had gone on strike for higher wages and better conditions. The mine owner brought in strikebreakers. Violence broke out. The Ohio National Guard was called in. The miners were imprisoned.
Nobody would take their case. The mine owner was Mark Hanna. A powerful Cleveland businessman. A man who would later become McKinley’s own campaign manager. Nobody wanted to go up against him.
McKinley took the case. Pro bono. No fee. He presented evidence of the miners’ poverty, their living conditions, the economic pressure that produced the strike. He argued that had the operators been reasonable, no strike would have occurred. He got 32 of the 33 miners acquitted.
When the miners came to pay him, they had barely scraped the money together. He refused every dollar.
The workers never forgot.
Robert La Follette, who served alongside McKinley in Congress for years, said McKinley “represented the newer view” and “on the great new questions was generally on the side of the public and against private interests.”
In 1895, impoverished miners in Hocking Valley telegraphed Governor McKinley: “Immediate relief needed.” Within five hours McKinley had paid out of his own pocket for a railroad car full of food and supplies to be sent to the miners. Then he contacted chambers of commerce in every major Ohio city to organize further relief.
This is the man they buried under Smoot-Hawley.

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump's new Press Secretary gets pulled into a massive scandal as it's revealed that her husband was involved with huge business deals in NORTH KOREA.
Every foreign dictatorship now has a puppet in this White House...
White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia's first week on the job was already proving to be an unmitigated disaster. First, she hilariously flubbed her first briefing with reporters by reading mechanically and remedially from prepared notes, pausing awkwardly, and stumbling over her words. Right out of the gate, it became clear that she was hired because of her physical resemblance to Ivanka Trump rather than any kind of public speaking skills.
Then, it was revealed that her claims to be an "attorney" were trumped up and there is no evidence that she ever passed the bar, but supposedly she practiced law in China, where she lived for two years. Imagine if a Democrat had hired someone like this to work in the White House. Fox News hosts would be going red in the face screaming about how she's a Chinese spy.
Now, it turns out that her husband Tyler Zacharia helped his company Schulze Global Investments expand into North Korea — something that his bio on the company website for 2521 Entertainment proudly admits. According to Forbes, Schulze Global gave three massive loans to North Korean mining companies in 2008, followed by a $1 million loan in 2011 for corn to feed workers for a North Korean company.
While the U.S. didn't place its full sanctions package on new investments in North Korea until 2016, the regime in Pyongyang has long been a brutal dictatorship that imprisons, enslaves, tortures, and murders its own people. But for the sociopaths who run in MAGA circles, those are minor details that can't be permitted to get in the way of turning a tidy profit.
Despite all of their grandstanding about opposing the communists in China and North Korea, the transnational oligarchs that run the Republican Party believe in nothing. They care about accumulating wealth at all costs, regardless of how much human suffering it's built upon. Remember that the next time you hear them ranting about Democrats how are "communists." These people don't even care about actual communists.
