President Trump has repeatedly shared an image of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's finger tattoos in an effort to link the Maryland man to the notorious MS-13 gang. On Monday, Mr. Trump again shared a photo of Abrego Garcia's left hand on social media, alleging he "had 'MS-13' tattooed onto his knuckles." The image shows the characters "M," "S," "1" and "3" digitally added above Abrego Garcia's existing tattoos " a leaf, a smiley face, a cross and a skull " along with labels describing each symbol beneath. www.politifact.com read more
Three people with knowledge of the talks told the Guardian that Vladimir Putin had signalled a readiness to effectively freeze the frontlines of the conflict in exchange for numerous concessions, including US recognition of Russian control of Crimea and considerable US sanctions relief. The Financial Times first reported Putin's proposal on Tuesday. The vice-president, JD Vance, confirmed on Wednesday that the US would seek to "freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today". Some territory could change hands, he said. read more

MAGA math strikes again
""For the first time since the gilded age the top 0.1% in America controls more wealth than the bottom 90%
#1 | Posted by Corky"
The top .1% of US households own $24.5T or 13.8% of US wealth
The bottom 90% of US households own $48.3T or 30.2% of US wealth
So, your comment starts out of an out and out lie. Further, the value of transfer payments alone (welfare, etc) for the bottom 90% is almost 2x the total wealth of the top .1%. The bottom 90% receives ~$2T per year in transfer payments - assuming this is an investment with a 4% yield, it is equivalent to a $48T value.

Wrong again.
ScottS forgot to account for DEBT owed by the bottom 90%. This was true since 2012.

It's great to own a $500,000 home and have it added to your "wealth" but you can't pretend the $400,000 mortgage doesn't exist, ScottS.
Don't worry. It's worse now.
April jobs beat expectations
April wage growth higher than inflation
April layoffs DOWN
All the horrible things liberals always predict never happen. So, why talk about this liberal fantasy land?

Liar.
April jobs beat LOW expectations and saw downward revisions for February and March. Unemployment remains unchanged.
April wage growth remains UNCHANGED.
Monthly job growth in 2025 averages 25,000 less per month than 2024.
April 2025 layoffs are up 63% compared to April 2024 layoffs.

Trump loses to Dark Brandon yet again.
The problem registrations resulted from a decade of dem control of the election board, because dems set rules to stack the deck in their favor and they "doesn't give a ---- about the constitution other than their poorly understood interpretation of the 2nd amendment."

Dems huh?
"Relevant to those voters, North Carolina's General Assembly enacted a voter identification ("ID") law in 2018, and after years oflitigation, that law took effect in 2023. But the law has never been applied to overseas military and civilian voters who cast absentee ballots. The North Carolina Board of Elections (the "State Board"), on a bipartisan and unanimous basis, exempted those voters from the voter ID law; on April 1, 2024, the State Board, pursuant to its rulemaking authority under state law, promulgated a final rule which provided that overseas military and civilian voters were not required to submit a copy of their photo ID with their absentee ballot. An identical temporary administrative rule had already been in effect for eight months before promulgation of the final rule. "
Bipartisan, Unanimous decision by the Elections Board over a year ago
Never challenged in Court or by the Legislature or Governor
