Trump boarded secret Turkey flight via catering truck due to Iran threat, reports say

U.S. President Donald Trump took a secret military flight from Turkey last month in an operation that involved him being moved between aircraft in a catering truck, an extraordinary deception prompted by an Iranian assassination threat, the Washington Post reported.

David Hearn Is Amassing Evidence For His Lawsuit Against Trump

White House officials are now asking the DOJ to “consider a new prosecution” of Hearn, citing sources “familiar with the discussions,”

He's Gonna Send In The National Guard To Intimidate Midterm Voters, Isn't He? Or ICE!

President Donald Trump appeared to hint Tuesday that some sort of action will be taken to enforce voting restrictions during the midterm elections.

For much of Trump’s second term, he has repeatedly urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a legislative package introducing sweeping changes to the country’s voting process.

Chief among those changes is requiring voters to present identification at polling places. Trump and his allies have insisted the bill was necessary to prevent voter fraud, but critics have argued the bill will only suppress voting rights.

Abdul El-Sayed on Trump: “He’s busy trying to figure out the colors on the drapes or fix the reflecting pool which he can’t even do. At the end of the day I am everything he fears. We are going to stand up to him. We are going to take him on. We are going to subpoena all of his officials. We are going to fight for the affordability that he doesn’t even care to fight for”

Video Gamers Hired As Air Traffic Controllers. This May Work or Nah?

While it might seem outlandish to some to compare video games with a very important (and often very stressful) job, this idea didn’t just come to the FAA on a whim, but rather from its own employees

Former Olympian David Hearn is considering legal action over President Donald Trump’s “continued harassment” about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case, according to Hearn’s attorneys.

On Sunday, Trump posted to Truth Social, “ALERT: A National Park Service career employee, a highly credible witness, saw David Hearn (ActBlue) in broad daylight vandalize the Reflecting Pool by ‘violently’ ripping and tugging at the Pool’s somewhat delicate coating.”
