"Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the Counties across America. Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems, our Country was DEAD, and now we have the “hottest” Country, by far, anywhere in the World. MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!" President DJT

This is not an Onion article and this is not April Fools. Kristi Noem banned drag shows. Her husband was just busted wearing fake breasts and pink spandex in photos sent to fetish models, and he paid them $25,000. An Undocumented Immigrant may have been the one who exposed him.
Kristi Noem, the woman Trump put in charge of the Department of Homeland Security, the woman who oversaw ICE raids that killed two American citizens in Minneapolis, the woman who tried to ban campus drag shows and signed laws that LGBTQ advocates said sanctioned discrimination, has a husband who was secretly dressing up in oversized fake breasts, pink bike shorts, and tight Lululemon tops while chatting with online "bimbofication" fetish models.
Bryon Noem used the alias "Jason Jackson." He was found out when one of the women accidentally pocket-dialed him. She heard a voicemail: "Noem Insurance, leave a message." She Googled the business. She found Kristi Noem.
This was not the FBI, this was not a background check, this was not some thorough vetting process for the spouse of a Cabinet secretary (who has access to the nation's most sensitive security apparatus). No, this came from a pocket dial and a google search.
He paid the women at least $25,000 through PayPal and Cash App. He didn't deny the photos when the Daily Mail reached him. Kristi Noem's spokesperson said she was "devastated" and "blindsided."
And here's where it becomes more than just a tabloid story.
A former CIA officer told the Daily Mail that if a media organization could find this information, a hostile intelligence service almost certainly could too. Megyn Kelly said on her show that if this had been known, Noem "never would have been confirmed for that post." The woman in charge of America's homeland security was married to a walking blackmail target and nobody caught it.
An Axios reporter said the original tip about Bryon Noem came from an immigrant sex worker who was possibly undocumented and "wanted to go public about Noem's husband using her services online — it was vengeance for DHS's immigration enforcement."
The woman whose husband deported people for a living may have been brought down by the very community she targeted. The administration that launched a war on trans people was housing a secret cross-dresser at the top of the chain. The party that screams about family values had a Cabinet spouse paying $25,000 to fetish models while posing in J-cup fake breasts.
There's nothing wrong with what Bryon Noem does in his private life. But there's everything wrong with profiting politically from persecuting people who do the same thing openly and honestly.

The president himself told reporters exactly who advised him to go to war. The list says everything.
During a press conference on March 9, 2026, Donald Trump told reporters that his decision to launch Operation Epic Fury against Iran was shaped by conversations with Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio. Not one active military commander was mentioned. Marianne Williamson highlighted this in a widely shared statement, pointing out that Trump had purged senior military leadership the year before and then launched a major war without traditional military consultation.
The criticism cuts deeper than politics. Witkoff is a real estate investor turned special envoy. Kushner is Trump's son-in-law with no military background. Hegseth, the Defense Secretary, is a former Fox News host. Rubio is a senator turned diplomat. While each holds an official role, none carries the operational military expertise that previous presidents relied on before committing troops to combat.
The Iran war has already killed U.S. service members, closed the Strait of Hormuz, and triggered global oil price spikes. Whether the absence of military commanders in the decision-making process contributed to the escalation is a question that will define how this war is remembered.

On Trump’s first day back in office—January 20, 2025—he issued a blanket pardon to every one of the 1,500 people charged or convicted over the violent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
He then pardoned Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of fraud having to do with his electric truck startup, Nikola. Milton had been sentenced by a federal judge to four years in prison and ordered to pay $675 million in restitution to those who had been bilked.
Just before Milton went to prison, Trump pardoned him and wiped away the payments to the victims. Mr. Milton and his wife contributed $1.8 million to Trump’s political committees.
Paul Walczak was similarly sentenced to 18 months for stealing his Florida nursing home employees’ tax payments, and ordered to pay $4.4 million in restitution. He was pardoned, with payments wiped out, just weeks after his mother attended a $1 million-a-person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.
The New York Times noted, “Across both of his terms, Mr. Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 allies, donors, and others convicted in fraud cases. In his second term, Mr. Trump’s pace of pardoning those convicted of fraud has increased. In the first year of his second term, he handed out nearly three dozen pardons and commutations for people accused of fraud.”
Reward pardons? Corrupt pardons? Brokered pardons? The last 15 months of the Trump administration have been an open-for-business pardon shop. In Trump’s Washington, there is no place for mercy.

This is what I really want to know from Republican voters: In all seriousness, what the hell has your party ever done for you?
Other than an endless pursuit to "own the libs," considering that's really all it seems today's GOP and the MAGA movement actually care about.
Unless you're ultra-wealthy, your tax situation isn't any better. Sure, they've cut federal income taxes, but that lack of top-down government revenue for the states has led to higher state, sales, and property taxes. How often over the past 30-40 years have those taxes been reduced?
Democrats have been trying to improve health care since the 1990s, finally achieving some level of success with Obamacare in 2010. And whether or not any of you want to admit it, millions of conservative voters who "totally opposed Obamacare" benefited from that law. Yet you hate the people who not only passed it but also the Democrats who've spent years trying to protect it and make it better.
Honestly, what signature Republican policies have made any of your lives better?
They didn't balance the budget – Clinton did that – and then the Republican president after him screwed it all up.
Ronald Reagan is known for a lot of things, and gutting programs and funding for the homeless and those suffering from mental illness was right at the top of that list. If you follow the trend of homelessness, you'll see a correlation between Reagan's time in office and the increase in the number of homeless – many of whom suffer from mental illnesses they no longer have the means to treat. So, while many of you bitch and moan about homeless camps in cities you don't even live in, be aware that Republican policies made that worse.
I guess you could claim Republicans have allowed you to have more guns. Sure, that's… something. But you would also have to blame Republicans for the rise in mass shootings over the past 20+ years, with gun violence now the #1 threat to the lives of children. So yes, Republicans have made it easier for you to own a lot of guns – but those same policies have also contributed to the mass shooting epidemic in this country.
And don't tell me that's because of "anti-gun laws pushed by Democrats." Of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history, half occurred in red, very pro-gun states – three of them in Texas, where I live. A place where you can legally carry an assault rifle into a Chili's to protect yourself while you snack on a skillet queso. The restaurant might not let you in, but it's legal.
I'm sitting here trying to think of where cornerstone GOP policies have helped anyone but the rich – and I can't think of any.
Don't give me bullshit about "protecting children from drag queens and transgender people," either. That's just in the "own the libs" bucket, as there's absolutely no correlation between drag queens, transgender people, and higher risk to children's safety. And stop with the line "we don't need men in women's dressing rooms" – males have been coaching female sports for decades.
Then there's the whole Epstein thing, where you all now seem perfectly okay with this president having his Department of Justice actively trying to protect child predators. Millions of documents exist, yet not a single active case has resulted. So much for the GOP even having a strong stance against child trafficking and abuse.
Looking at red states, most rank near the bottom in categories such as infant mortality rate, life expectancy, access to health care, education, average family income, and overall quality of life.
Though they do often rank near the top in per capita violent crime, the percentage of citizens relying on some form of government assistance, teen pregnancy, and the amount of money they receive from the federal government to keep their states from further slipping into "Third World Nation" territory.
So, where are those policies making life better for anyone in these places?
Even with the rise of Donald Trump 10+ years ago and MAGA – what the hell has he done? Other than passing two big tax cuts for the rich and adding trillions to the national debt, what other signature piece of legislation has he passed?
He's been promising a "big, beautiful health care plan" for over a decade and has never actually produced one. On his watch, fewer Americans have health insurance, and costs keep going up.
I know I've been snarky in this post, but I'm mostly serious when I ask these questions. I'm not here to claim Democrats have delivered everything they've promised, but they also haven't had as much control as Republicans over the past 25+ years. You'll find very few periods where Democrats controlled the White House and all of Congress for significant stretches. But what I do know is that, in my lifetime, under a Democrat president, we've seen:
A balanced budget under Bill Clinton, with historic economic growth.
Barack Obama lead us out of the worst economic collapse in nearly a century.
Obama pass Obamacare, giving more Americans access to health care, making insurance more affordable for tens of millions, and protecting people with pre-existing conditions.
Obama preside over historic private-sector job growth and drastically reduced deficits.
Joe Biden sign a massive infrastructure bill that, despite complete Republican opposition, many Republicans in local districts and states boasted about its benefits.
Biden guide us through a major chunk of the pandemic, keeping a fragile economy from spiraling into recession and bringing the U.S. economy back stronger and faster than any other nation on Earth.
And those are just a few highlights.
Meanwhile, with Republicans, what do I have?
George H.W. Bush started a war, drove us into a recession, and Clinton had to clean it up.
George W. Bush inherited a balanced budget with a surplus – then started two wars, added trillions to the national debt, and drove the economy into the worst crash since the Great Depression. I'll give him credit for uniting the nation in the immediate days after 9/11 – but after that… he didn't.
Donald Trump inherited a strong economy – then botched his response to the COVID-19 pandemic, from suggesting it would "go away by April" to recommending bleach injections. He turned a national crisis that could have brought people together into a massive disaster that did nothing but divide us even further.
Donald Trump 2.0 took a growing economy and turned it into a complete mess. 2025 was the worst year for job growth in years. Stocks grew at the slowest pace in a long time, while GDP growth slowed. We're now in another war. The 2026 economy has started out weaker than 2025 ended. Oil and gas prices are skyrocketing, and countless other crises make calling what we're currently living through a "dumpster fire" an understatement.
So, seriously, Republicans – what the hell has your party ever done for you?
Because as long as I've been alive, what I've seen is Republicans come into power, start wars, screw up the economy, drive us into recessions, add trillions to the national debt – and the Democrat after them has to come in and clean up the mess.
It happened with George H.W. Bush to Bill Clinton, George W. Bush to Barack Obama, and Donald Trump 1.0 to Joe Biden. In my life, a Democrat has never been sworn in as president inheriting a strong, growing economy. Not once.
So, I ask again, Republicans: what has your party actually done to improve your life other than "own the libs"? Which is really nothing more than a distraction from the reality that their policies screw you over for the benefit of the rich, whom they keep giving massive tax breaks to at every opportunity.

Fox Host DELETES FOOTAGE of AOC Ending His CAREER
It was very clever of Milton to film the Nikola "electric" truck coasting downhill as if it were really powered by batteries.
Now Nikola Tesla has had both his first and last names borrowed by charlatans.
Rs are still scoring most heavily with the "no college degree" crowd.
Missing data -- "no high school" and whatever dimension the independents and other parties are in.
What kind of fraud? By whom? How much is being investigated and/or has led to convictions by the Newsom/Bonta administration?
