    The US has more wind capacity per capita than China.
    That is a perfect sketch.

    White House may deter Trump from future rallies as aides say he's not 'capable' of empathy

    Politico reports MAGA is thrilled to see President Donald Trump back on the road and in his campaign rally element. But the things he’s saying at rallies are scaring them.

    “Trump stirred up fresh concerns Tuesday at a Pennsylvania rally that was supposed to focus on easing Americans’ anxieties over pocketbook pressures,” reports Politico. “Instead, he veered off script, at one point urging austerity amid the holiday shopping season by resurfacing a line from earlier this year that American kids should be happy with ‘two or three’ dolls.”

    “I think a lot more domestic events outside of Washington are great. Let’s do more of it,” an anonymous former Trump senior adviser told Politico. But, “unfortunately I just don’t think Trump is temperamentally capable of reversing himself and saying, ‘Yes, affordability is a concern.’ He’s stubborn.”

    Trump was once a fiery crowd pleaser, but he is now an “imperfect messenger more apt to voice bullishness on his stewardship of the U.S. economy than he is to acknowledge the financial squeeze voters say they’re feeling,” reports Politico. This could present a problem as angry voters take to the polls next year and vent their frustration over the economy by ousting the political party in charge of Congress and the White House.

    Critics are already calling Trump’s Pennsylvania rally “a flop,” particularly after a slew of off-year elections this month and last gave Democrats resounding success on their message of affordability and inflation concerns. Republican strategists are already rattled at how strongly voters have spurned Republican candidates within the span of a year.

    “And there are signs the White House is looking to other surrogates to help carry the administration’s affordability push into next year, as Trump allies concede the president is unlikely to morph into a nuanced and empathetic messenger,” reports Politico.

    Trump has called arguments that Americans are suffering under the economy a “hoax” and a “con job," but some Trump aides counter that the president’s “hoax” line is being taken out of context.

    One White House official argued that Trump isn’t dismissing Americans’ pain, but is instead calling the Democrats’ affordability campaign “hypocritical” and a “con job” because the left is trying to “rewrite their own history” and “hijack the phrase.”

    "Trump's claims about inflation are false," Stevenson said, "and you can go to the grocery store and see it yourself."

    Consumers are feeling high prices firsthand
    While it's true that inflation hit a 9% high during the summer of 2022 under the Biden administration, that was during the pandemic and it dropped significantly after that. Inflation dipped to an annual rate of 3% in January during Biden's final month in office, the same rate it was in September under Trump.

    @Nook ask yourself sincerely what would be the reaction from your "anti censorship MAGATs" @Os Trigonum if a democratic admin tried forcing a church what they can and cant hang at their property

    Not a single MAGA has a core ideology or value. Its just sad

    It is 100% AI real.

    As real as the pedo ring in the basement of DC Comet Ping Pong pizzeria. As soon as MAGA finds the door to the basement, they are going to shut it down for good.

    Nothing unusual about this ... at all ... happens all of the time.


    MAGA lawyer insists Trump use military to free CO election denier from prison

    On Thursday, President Donald Trump claimed to have pardoned an ally serving a prison sentence related to his efforts to contest the 2020 election results, in a move Colorado Democrats called "meaningless" due to his lack of authority. Now, her lawyer has backed the use of military forces to help get his client out of prison, per a report from The Independent.

    Tina Peters, 70, is a former Colorado election official currently serving out a 9-year prison sentence on state-level charges, having been convicted by a Mesa County jury in August 2024. Peters was found guilty of facilitating a security breach after she let prominent election denier and MyPillow salesman, Mike Lindell, enter a secure room and download data containing Colorado's 2020 election results, as part of his effort to find evidence of fraud and contest Joe Biden's defeat of Trump.

    National Parks Gift Shops Targeted in Donald Trump’s DEI Crackdown

    President Donald Trump's administration has directed national parks to immediately remove items from their gift shops that are perceived as promoting programs including diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

    The directive to remove merchandise deemed non-neutral has sparked concerns surrounding censorship, and whether such measures undermine the NPS' ability to educate the public on topics including civil rights.

    Do you support the government telling a church what they can or cant hang on their property? If a democratic president did this yall would've had a brain aneurysm.
