President Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide, winning the US Presidency with 312 electoral votes, all of the battleground states, the popular vote, the US House of Representatives, The US Senate and 2750 counties across the country. Americans overwhelmingly voted for President Donald Trump and his agenda. Unfortunately, this means nothing to the US GOP-controlled House and US GOP-controlled Senate. According to Amuse and Leading Report on X the current GOP-controlled Congress sent fewer bills to President Trump to sign into law than any Congress in 70 years! That is quite a record! @amuse @amuse DO NOTHING CONGRESS:...

Throughout the sprawling saga of human history, every period has proclaimed its moment as the defining pivot, crafting narratives of grandeur and crisis that cast it as the fulcrum of destiny. From the marble-clad majesty of Ancient Rome to the nuclear-shadowed tensions of the Cold War, each age believed its challenges were unparalleled, shaping the course of civilization. Yet, as we stand in this era, confronting a convergence of existential threats—artificial intelligence (AI) poised to redefine the essence of humanity, nuclear arsenals capable of annihilating billions, pandemics that exploit global connectivity, and the corrosive spread of socialist propaganda promoting disgusting...

MONTREAL — As Alberta flirts with the possibility of a referendum on separation, Quebec sovereigntists are watching with interest — and a healthy dose of skepticism. MONTREAL — As Alberta flirts with the possibility of a referendum on separation, Quebec sovereigntists are watching with interest — and a healthy dose of skepticism. Some are hoping a wave of separatist sentiment in Alberta will put wind in the sails of Quebec’s own independence movement, which took a blow in the recent federal election when the Liberals made big gains in the province at the expense of the sovereigntist Bloc Québécois. But...

Texas has halted any construction of EPIC City. There is no construction taking place. The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project. That includes criminal investigations. And, the US Department of justice is also investigating. This matter, and similar matters, are taken very seriously, and actions are being taken to address all concerns.

VIDEOIf anyone out there still doubts the incredible power of TDS over the minds of liberals, then you should watch this video. In the middle of last December this liberal, although he had a moral chip on his shoulder about the incoming Trump administration, calmly and in a soft voice sounded like Gandhi in how people should display their opposition calmly and and without name calling and personal attacks. Fast forward just six months to May 2025 and you can see the AMAZING metamorphosis in the latter day Gandhi triggered entirely by TDS. It's like Trump has such power over...

Prevost may be regarded a centrist but his older brother Lou is a huge Trump supporter! And, Lou doesn’t hide his affection for President Trump. Lou posted this last month on Facebook! Here are a few of Lou’s thoughts.

President Donald Trump is reportedly set to receive a lavish Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar’s royal family. The nearly brand-new aircraft, originally commissioned by Qatari royals, will be temporarily used as Air Force One during Trump’s second term and then donated to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation upon the conclusion of his presidency, according to sources familiar with the arrangement who spoke to ABC News. The aircraft, which has flown only a handful of times, is estimated to be worth upwards of $400 million and features gold-plated fixtures, private suites, and luxury lounges fit for royalty. President Trump reportedly...

Elon Musk joined Lara Trump on her show “My View” Saturday night on FOX News. During their conversation, Elon revealed that the DOGE Team found 100,000 federal employees collected uninsurance benefits while they were still at work. Collecting insurance benefits while still working is considered unemployment insurance fraud. Many states classify unemployment fraud as a misdemeanor or felony. Jail time is a significant risk and can range from several months to several years. Elon Musk says 100,000 government employees have committed this dishonest act. Elon Musk: We’ve actually found there’s a lot of people who are federal government employees. They’re...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) drops a bombshell about the Epstein files during an interview with far-left blowhard Cenk Uygur on his show The Young Turks. Greene raised serious questions about the fate of the elusive Jeffrey Epstein files and the decades-long cover-up protecting the powerful elite. Greene didn’t mince words when asked about the Epstein case — asserting that the vast majority of the evidence has likely been destroyed and suggesting that foreign governments like Israel and the United Kingdom may be sitting on crucial information. Cenk Uygur: Okay, so, one more thing here, along these lines — Epstein...

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi appeared on MSNBC's "Chris Jansing Reports" to express her hope that "people of good faith listen to the words, both of our elected officials, when they say what they say about the need to respect immigrants. This new pope is acutely aware of conditions forcing the migration of vulnerable migrants. With so many people looking to him for guidance, I hope he will be impactful as a moral and ethical voice on that issue." Jansing asked "would you say that Pope Leo's words would effectively rebut Vice-President Vance's assertion that care...

Nature abhors a vacuum, the saying goes. Of late, the democrat party has been in a vacuum, trying desperately to find something to justify its existence. The best they have come up recently is the to rush to aid and defend illegal alien murderers, rapists and child traffickers. Of and by itself it wasn't attracting the kind of attention they've been desirous of, so they hatched a new plan to get it. There are two ICE detention facilities in New Jersey, one in Elizabeth and one in Newark. The mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, decided he was going to storm...

An MS-13 gang member known as ‘Anticristo’ has been sentenced to 55 years in prison for his role in the killings of four men in New York and another in Virginia. His real name is Omar Antonio Villalta, and his murder weapon of choice is the machete. Seeing that this man is a deadly criminal illegal alien, many are wondering when the Democrat Party is going to adopt him as one of their own. We can’t see why Dems would reject him. He is an illegal alien after all. Posters say his membership in MS-13 should make him too perfect...

The blue state of Hawaii is suing oil companies over climate change, but for some strange reason they have exempted one refinery that has executives who give a lot of cash to Democrats. What an odd coincidence. The entire conversation about climate change should have ended the instant that leftists began targeting Teslas and Tesla dealerships over DOGE. It proved that the left doesn’t really care about this issue, they just want what they want. The lawyers for the oil companies will surely point this out, if they’re smart. Hawaii Sues Oil Industry for Causing Climate Change—But Spares State’s Largest...

Bill Maher blasted the Democratic Party and its younger supporters on Friday’s episode of Real Time, warning that the party risks alienating mainstream voters by embracing radical ideas. During his “New Rule” monologue, Maher argued that Democrats have shifted from promoting progressive ideals to tolerating what he called extremist rhetoric and a complete embrace of Hamas. Maher said the Democratic Party’s issues after the 2024 election are that its base of young voters increasingly supports ideologies that are hostile to American values. “Their young people, their key constituency, not only don’t like their own civilization, they like the wrong one,”...
