The Oligarchs are going to fast track tax cuts to billionaires before the American people

can stop them.

I'm hoping the massive tax cuts don't happen before MAGA constituents wake up and intimidate their elected officials.

NFL 'running scared' of Trump and Musk ahead of Super Bowl with Bluesky ban

The NFL risks alienating fans and accusations of “running scared” from Donald Trump and Elon Musk ahead of Super Bowl LIX after it banned teams from posting on X rival Bluesky, say industry watchers.



But neither team is allowed to connect with American football fans on Bluesky, which has 30m users, because the league has refused to approve the social media platform.

It comes after Trump returned for a second term as US president, backed by billionaire Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022 and renamed it X.

Why does anyone, that is not a Nazi, still have

a Xitter account? I deleted both my business and personal accounts that I had for years last year. Every Democrat should abandon that swamp.

"Most of the ballots Griffin is seeking to discount were cast by people he claims did not provide driver’s license numbers or a partial Social Security number on their registration applications. He argues those voters are not legally registered, though many have been registered and voting for decades.

State law does not require voters to have a driver’s license number or Social Security number."

Double standard for Black NFL coaches. Jerod Mayo's firing shows it.

"But Black Monday started a day early this year. The New England Patriots pink-slipped head coach Jerod Mayo before Fox’s NFL broadcast crew wrapped Sunday afternoon’s early slate of games, a sign the Patriots were only waiting for players on their 4-13 squad to hit the showers before they delivered the news. Rob Gronkowski, a former Patriots star-turned-TV analyst, was apoplectic.

“I mean, he never had the chance to develop as a head coach. He was just a rookie himself in that department, and if you judge a coach in their first year, that’s really not appropriate,” Gronkowski said, turning to former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson and pointing out that Johnson won only one game in his first year but ultimately won two Super Bowls during his five years with the team."
