Bay Area Houston

Small crowds. Big arrests.

Trump held a rally to highlight his A++++ economy. A small crowd attended and cheered his great economy even though the economy is not doing well for most people, especially those who attended. You can read the fact check here. He spoke for 90 minutes giving his same old speech attacking other countries and his enemies. Some of the comments were digusting especially those referencing Congressman Ilhan Omar. None of this below is true:

“We gotta get her the hell out,” he said. “She married her brother in order to get in, right … she married her brother to get in, therefore she’s here illegally.”

The crowd of supporters at the rally started chanting “Send her back!”

Trump also claimed that Somalia has no military, parliament or police. “They police themselves, they kill each other all the time.”

Honduras has issued an arrest warrant for former President Juan Orlando Hernández. Hernandez was pardoned by Trump for his role in smuggling $400 Million in drugs to the United States. Hernandez was serving a 45 year sentence after being convicted by a US jury. CNN has details.

Trump is giving farmers a $12 Billion handout to bail them out of an economic downturn that he created with his tariffs. So Americans pay billions because of higher prices due to the tariffs then Trump gives this money to farmers to bail them out. Sounds reasonable? It just doesn’t make cents. From NPR:

The Trump administration announced $12 billion in one-time payments to farmers in the wake of this year’s tariff hikes on Monday, primarily targeting farmers who grow crops such as soybeans and corn.

CodeRedGate continues. Trump has waffled again about releasing the video of the second strike. First he said the video should be released but now he is saying it is up to Hegseth. Members of Congress threatens to cut DOD travel until the video of the second strike is released.

CodeRedGate just got worse over the weekend. The boat the military bombed was NOT coming to the United States. Members of Congress who have seen the video says the boat had been destroyed and two survivors had been floating for about 45 minutes. Hegseth has refused, as of today, to release the video of the second strike.

FIFA gave Trump a fake Peace medal. This was embarrassing. FIFA created a “Peace Medal” and gave it to Trump during the FIFA World Cup draw in Washington. FIFA has never given an award to anyone much less a Peace prize about as worthless as a medal found in a cracker jacks box. It is believed FIFA was actually making fun of Trump with this fake award. What a fuckin idiot.

Marjorie Taylor Greene gave an interview speaking out about Trump and condemning the threats of political violence directed towards her by Trump. You can watch the entire video here. It’s typical of the Republican Party. They will not condemn violence until their families are threatened.

CodeRedGate is not going away. Neither is SignalGate.

The story about the killing of the two survivors on the drug boat is changing from being called “fake news” by Secretary of Defense Hegseth to the survivors who were clinging on the wreckage was trying to restart the burning boat and continue their drug run. The Admiral in charge of the operation will be testifying in the House this morning. Time Magazine has a good article on Hegseth’s changing story.

The SignalGate report is out today. Trump’s Defense Secretary Hegseth is under scrutiny again. The report by the Pentagon Inspector General has been released. It states “Hegseth risked the safety of U.S. servicemembers by sharing sensitive military information on the Signal messaging app”. DUH! The report also states Hegseth refused to turn over his phone to the IG. NPR has details. Trump is expected to claim the report clears Hegseth of any wrongdoing. In fact Hegseth has already posted “Case closed” on twitter.

Well, at least we aren’t talking about the Epstein files….oh wait… Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released never-before-seen images of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous island. The US Virgin Islands provided the images after a subpoena. BBC has the story.

He fell asleep just like Sleepy Joe.

The attack on the drug boat situation is getting worse for the Secretary of Defense. His story has changed a number of times now claiming he never saw the survivors and didn’t know of the second strike. Days after the event he was on Fox News claiming he saw the entire event. Senator Rand Paul said “Hegseth is either lying about second boat strike or incompetent”. He and Trump are now blaming the Admiral who was in charge of the operation. The Admiral is scheduled to attend a hearing on the situation on Thursday. A video from 2016 of Hegseth shows him saying that there must be consequences for those in the military who break the law. View it below as covered by MSNOW.

Trump fell asleep a number of times during the ass kissing segment of a cabinet meeting. Prior to the segment Trump spewed a number of lies including that drug prices have been reduced by 500%-900% and the economy is roaring. He then went around the table letting each cabinet member tell him how great he is and praising his leadership for burying the Epstein files. During this time Trump fell asleep a number of times. You can watch the entire meeting below. The ass kissing session begins at about 30:15.

Trump was up all night making 160 truth social tweets in just a couple of hours. The tweets were mostly conspiracy theories and rantings of an unhinged lunatic. Now wonder why he fell asleep during the cabinet meeting.
