REMINDER: A citizenship question on the Census could disenfranchise Americans & cost states like NC billions in federal $--which is exactly what the Trump admin intends. The Supreme Court must reject this political power grab. My 2018 op-ed on this issue

Big day at SCOTUS: The Trump admin. made its case for a citizenship question on the 2020 census. The challengers argue it would lead to a drop in responses and census accuracy. The justices' Qs today suggested a 5-4 win for the govt (but you never know)


I asked Hogan Gidley if President Trump will accept Russian help in the 2020 election. He said “I don’t understand the question” and pointed out that the president has “already denounced multiple times Russian involvement” in the 2016 cycle.

"We want to be as transparent as possible" the DVG Prince messaged via encrypted app that won't be archived or accountable


So @SpeakerPelosi strategy is to hold hearings, and then impeach. I think that's absolutely right. Hearings will bleed into Assange's extradition - and Wikileaks being charged with directly hacking the election.

Ok everyone gather the kids around, the President is going to speak to them...


“Kentucky ranks No. 49 for quality of health care, No. 38 in higher education, No. 45 in economic opportunity and No. 46 in fiscal stability. How does McConnell who has represented Kentucky for more than three decades — explain numbers like these?”


Well, now we know what kind of porn the President likes.


Wikileaks servers being moved to Russia before the Podesta Emails were released, a discovery broken by Laurelai Bailey on Patribotics, absolutely fits this theory. Wikileaks are the unnamed GRU co-conspirators in Mueller's indictment. Bet on it.

“We are not even sure whether we are having the resolution tomorrow, because of the threats of a veto from the US,”

How Putin and Trump wish the US to be portrayed.

Mueller Report: Did Assange, GRU Conspire Since 2010?


Today's Presidential ravings of innocence (so far)


  1. Sorry to say but is by far the best of the morning political shows on television. It rightfully has BY FAR the highest ratings, not even close. Morning Psycho (Joe), who helped get me elected in 2016 by having me on (free) all the time, has nosedived, too Angry...
  2. In the “old days” if you were President and you had a good economy, you were basically immune from criticism. Remember, “It’s the economy stupid.” Today I have, as President, perhaps the greatest economy in history...and to the Mainstream Media, it means NOTHING. But it will!
  3. The Radical Left Democrats, together with their leaders in the Fake News Media, have gone totally insane! I guess that means that the Republican agenda is working. Stay tuned for more!
  4. I will be going to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for a really big Rally on Saturday Evening. Big crowd expected, much to talk about. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
  5. I wonder if the New York Times will apologize to me a second time, as they did after the 2016 Election. But this one will have to be a far bigger & better apology. On this one they will have to get down on their knees & beg for forgiveness-they are truly the Enemy of the People!
  6. Paul Krugman, of the Fake News New York Times, has lost all credibility, as has the Times itself, with his false and highly inaccurate writings on me. He is obsessed with hatred, just as others are obsessed with how stupid he is. He said Market would crash, Only Record Highs!
