Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Chart showing solar panel exports from China (the main solar panel maker by a long shot) growing steadily & mightily from 2018 through 2026, then spiking by almost 2x in March 2026.

In recent months, ICE has deployed a round-the-clock digital dragnet to scour the public internet—from Facebook to Instagram to X—for speech that could endanger the agency’s mission. The government has paid millions to private contractors to surface everything from potential threats to agents to

DHS Secretary Kirsten "Johnson told reporters that the agency’s goal is to build a process that eases the paperwork burden on both Medicaid recipients and DHS staff." Adding even more paperwork without clear guidance is another feature, not a bug, by the regime. Purposely making it harder.

"Trump Team Feuds Over Whether Reflecting Pool Was Hit by Vandals or Botched Work" from the WSJ. "Trump insists vandals damaged Reflecting Pool, blasts DOJ for dropped charge" from WaPo. If Trump’s own administration admits they’re lying, why can’t the legacy media come out and say it, too?

Trump and Pirro are Lying. Why Can’t Legacy Media Just Say it?

Pirro admitted she prosecuted an innocent man based on fabricated evidence. Guess which word legacy media outlets avoided in their coverage?

Ben McKenzie maps out the potential crypto crimes of Trump & members of his Executive Branch—specifically how they’ve benefited from their financial ties to the shady foreign operator, Tether. Gulp down this #CupOfJoe full of significant facts.

A Jeffrey Epstein-linked modeling scout, Daniel Siad, who was discovered dead at his home, was quietly operating an anonymous online account devoted to praising President Donald Trump, according to two researchers who say they traced the account back to him — a finding they called "unbelievable."

Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.
