    They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.

    On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls. That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

    When you see Cuomo attacking Mamdani over his rent stabilized one bedroom in Queens, do recall this please:

    Landlords Commit $2.5 Million to Help Cuomo's Mayoral Campaign The money, the largest example of outside spending by a single donor in the New York City mayor's race, will go toward campaign ads on Andrew M. Cuomo's behalf.

    Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

    Simon Maechling & @simonmaechling Follow RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism. And then he'll push the "cure": leucovorin (folinic acid). Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb. The same Dr. Oz who is now the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's administration. Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr's bogus "cure." This isn't public health. It's corruption dressed up as wellness.

    Just for the record, in 2020:
    - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
    - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
    - Garland was an appeals court judge
    - Monaco was in private practice in LA

    There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

    He crazy.

    Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the 2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior! 2.73k ReTruths 7.67k Likes 10/24/25, 22:11

    Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.

    This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

    The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

    A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

    Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey.

    Trying to understand: the Constitution gives Congress the power to impose tariffs. The President imposes tariffs without Congress. Congress passes a law rescinding his tariffs. The President then vetos that law. Seems like something’s wrong here.

    I don’t know who these people are, but it’s well said.

    thebaseddad 16h If a democrat was assassinated could you imagine what would be going on right now? michaelandwicket 12h Yes. I can. Because it happened literally 3 months ago. And guess what? Democrats called for gun reform and right wingers made jokes about it. Trump said calling anybody to give his condolences would be a waste of time and then skipped the funeral. So we don't have to imagine. It literally just happened. And not a single person on the left called for a war, or called for the Republican party to be labeled a domestic terrorist organization. You cared so little that you don't even remember it.

    It strikes me that quite a lot of people knew for the last year that the guy running our horrific deportation squads took a bag with $50k in cash from undercover FBI agents investigating corruption, and it didn’t get out until now.
