"They were saying wind was so wonderful... except you couldn’t watch your television. They wanted to watch the debate, Donald Trump against Sleepy Joe Biden. Nobody could watch it because the wind wasn’t blowing. Remember that?" -- DT said last Thurs. www.cnn.com/2026/07/26/p...

Sen. Gillibrand is shepherding a crypto giveaway bill through Congress while her son-who just graduated college! - gets a massive $$ infusion from the crypto industry. How on earth can Dems run as the anti-corruption party while accepting open graft in their leadership? www.axios.com/2026/07/22/c...

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
