A South Carolina pastor, whose wife died by suicide last year after she filed for divorce, has been federally indicted after being accused of posting her nude photo online and stalking her before her death.

John-Paul Miller, 46, is charged with felony charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators, according to information from the US Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina.

Miller, who previously preached at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach, came under fire after his wife, Mica Miller, was found dead at Lumber River State Park in April 2024. The 30-year-old woman's death was ruled a suicide, but the case drew national interest after allegations that Miller abused Mica before her death came to light

According to prosecutors, Miller was indicted on Thursday, for allegedly sending "unwanted and harassing communications" to his estranged wife from November 2022 until her death.

The behavior, the indictment alleges, included posting a nude photo of his wife online without her consent, and in one instance, contacting her over 50 times in a single day. Prosecutors also allege Miller interfered with her finances and her daily activities and on one occasion damaged her vehicle tires.

USA TODAY has reached out to the church and Miller's attorney.

Who is Pastor John-Paul Miller?

Miller has five children with his wife.

One day after his wife was found dead, Miller announced her death at the end of a sermon.

“I’m taking a little bit of a break and I don’t want to have to worry about the church,” he said before announcing her death. “My break may be a few days, a few weeks, I don’t know."

Soon after, reports began to surface alleging the pastor abused his wife in the leadup to her suicide. According to a WBTW police report obtained in May 2024, Miller's wife alleged her husband did not allow her to drive and “groomed” her years before their marriage.

"She has known her husband since she was 10 years old and that he ‘groomed’ her while she worked for him at Solid Rock Church until they were married six years ago,” the police report from the outlet reads.

Who is Mica Miller?

Mica Acacia Miller, was born in Wichita, Kansas to Michael Francis and Angelita Ramirez, according to her obituary.

Family described her as "energetic, affirming and adventurous" in the written memorial, and said she and her husband married in 2017.

"Mica was a great stepmother, and an amazing wife and helpmate," the obituary reads. "She helped Pastor JP with the church in every way. Mica was the worship leader, graphics designer, youth leader, women’s ministry leader, and Pastor’s assistant."
Pastor faces prison if convicted in wife's stalking case

If convicted, prosecutors said Miller faces up to five years in prison for cyberstalking and two years in prison for his false statements.

Miller is set for arraignment on Jan. 12 in federal court in Florence, about 95 miles southeast of Charlotte.

MAGA Moron Buyers Regret Votes for Trump Because they are Losing Money

This is how unprincipled and selfish MAGA morons are as they regret their vote for Trump. It's all about money and the bottom line. It's not about making American great. It's not about genuine patriotism. It's all about racism. They thought Trump would remove ALL the migrants, except those they hire to do their menial work. It's like you are anti-slavery, on condition they let you keep your own slaves. 

Many of the MAGA racist morons below knew Trump was going to clean up the country of all those dark-skinned immigrants they hate, but they didn't think (stupid as they are) it would affect them personally especially in their purses. 

They were not offended by Trump's racism, sexism, vulgarity, his creepy adulterous life, his attempt to topple the government, his sending a mob of criminals to attack the Congress, his alliance with the Russian dictator.... Oh no, none of these things bothered them. 

The fact that illiterate ignorant white americans ignore a man's filth simply because he's white should give you an idea of how American democracy allows mediocrity and criminality to rise to power. These illiterate ignorant white Americans from the boonies hate smart educated people. They prefer a moron like them, and only then realize they voted for a moron only because it hurts their money-making obsession.

How pathetic. 
================================================
This MAGA supporter regrets their vote now that it's affecting their employeers and therefore their business.
"Let me start by saying I voted for Trump," the business owner shared in a recent rant online. "He was the best option on the ballot. I didn't agree with all his ideas but over all I was hoping he would be the a vast improvement over the past administration. In a lot of ways I think he has been."

"However, this hellbent notion of deporting all illegal aliens is wrong in my opinion."
"Yes there are many bad illegal immigrants here, and they need to be deported. I'm all for it. That is the exception not the norm."
"I'm a 67 year old white small business owner," they continued. "We are a concrete construction company. I have Hispanic finishers and carpenters that have worked for me for years. A couple for over 20 years."       THE ASSHO-- KNEW THEY WERE ILLEGALS BUT HE HIRED THEM ANYWAY.  HE SHOULD BE FINED AND SENT TO JAIL.

"They are not employees to me. They are family. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them. They are honest hard working, dependable guys who exceed expectations. They care, take pride in what they do. A couple of them have their sons help on occassion." "They don't even have family in Mexico now. If they were to get deported they would have nowhere to go or family."

"If you have never been to Mexico, before you judge these people, you need to experience Mexico for yourself. These people come from poverty. Backbreaking work for $70 a week."
"I realize the majority of people don't get it or probably care," they concluded. "This is not what America should be about. Shame on Trump and anyone who thinks this is the right thing to do."

"It breaks my heart to see these fine families getting separated and having to live in fear here, when all they want is to make a honest living. They don't live extravagent lives, because they send money to help there parents and loved ones get by so they don't have to work for the cartel."

THE ASSH--- TURNED INTO A BLEEDING HEART DEMOCRAT NOW THAT HE HAS TO HIRE US CITIZENS FOR $500 A WEEK INSTEAD OF THE SLAVE WAGES OF $70 A WEEK HE WAS GIVING HIS BELOVED ILLEGAL SLAVES.
A screenshot of the full post went viral on Reddit:

"He was willing to do anything except sponsor, fund, or take any action whatsoever to protect their status in this country.

"Best option? He means Trump was a better option than a Black woman?"

"Ding ding ding. To him, Trump was clearly the white choice." —GhostofZellers

Behind America's Obsession with China and Venezuela

Must watch: 

https://www.tiktok.com/@jeffrey1012v2/video/7580611030284520725 

An insight from a former IMF (International Monetary Fund) official into what is behind the US calling  China an "enemy" and the US harassing and possibly regime changing in Venezuela: Paper money vs real wealth (e.g. oil) and debt vs empire? The dollar economy imposed by Washington is in collapse mode.

Bottom line: US is no longer the sole power in a new multipolar world. It can no longer control the world with the paper dollar it has imposed since 1945. The BRICs are no longer using the dollar - they do their exchanges in Yuan, Rand, Yen, Rupee, etc.

US debt to China is in the tens of trillions of dollars, and it is literally begging the Chinese to buy more US dollars. The US needs 3 trillion dollars just to keep the country going. The US spends trillions more than it taxes.

In Venezuela, the US is literally begging Maduro for his oil to save the dollar. They made an outlaw of Maduro, sanctioned his oil so that the world stops buying it. But the world (China, India and others) kept buying Venezuela's oil but not paying in US dollars. In desperation, the US now want a regime change in order to seize Venezuela's oil.

Scandinavians & South African Whites: Emigrate to US. Trump Wants You

The deranged senile Simian in the White House is stopping all immigration from the "Third World", and he wants only whites from northern Europe and South Africa to immigrate to the US. His plan is to bleach the melting pot.

It's you chance for the American Dream. You should all apply to move to the US and leave your countries for the migrants and immigrants from filthy countries. He says Europe is finished. 

 

It's Gonna Be a Democrat Landslide Next November

The country is done with Trump's garbage.

Former Trump Official Already Waving the White Flag: ‘You Gotta Favor the Democrats in the Midterms’
Willa Pope Robbins
Sat, December 13, 2025 

Former Trump White House official Marc Short told Politico’s Dasha Burns that the Democratic Party will likely dominate the 2026 midterms.

In an appearance on CSPAN’s Ceasefire alongside Democratic strategist Adrienne Elrod, Short said that the Republican Party is already set to endure heavy losses in the upcoming elections.

“I think it’s going to be a really steep climb, Dasha,” said Short, in relation to GOP midterm efforts. “The reality is that Americans like divided government. They don’t want one party in control. Each time there’s been one party in control, there’s been a backlash.”

The once chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence noted that in previous midterms, the incumbent party is much more vulnerable to losing Congressional seats.

“And so, just like in the 2018 midterms when Republicans had control of everything, Democrats had a big year. In 2022, when Democrats are in control of everything, Republicans had a big year,” he said. “So, I think you’re going to see likely a Democrat year in the midterms.”

Short said that due to recent gerrymandering efforts that have decreased the number of contested districts, a Democratic sweep may be smaller than in past years, if still significant.

“The reality is that so many of our house districts are drawn today to gerrymander for each side that there’s fewer really districts that are really competitive,” he said.

“And potentially more that are going to be gerrymandered, right?” asked Burns.

“Potentially more that are going to be gerrymandered. So I do think there’ll be a swing,” he said. “But the question is, you know, I remember being, to date myself, a hill staffer in 2010 when after the Obamacare passage, there was 63 seats the Republicans picked up. I think it’s hard to think you’re going to have that kind of a swing or even 40 in the 2018 midterms. But I still think that the margins, as tight as they are of potentially one or two seats by that point, that you got to favor the Democrats in the midterms.”

Short is not the only prominent Republican who’s voiced fears about the party’s chances in the upcoming election cycle.

Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters was at the center of an internet firestorm on Friday after an unearth audio recording heard him describe the GOP as “facing almost certain defeat” in the midterms.

Fox News host Jesse Watters similarly predicted that the GOP would lose control of the House of Representatives come November, telling his co-hosts on Wednesday that the party’s lack of focus on affordability was at the root of the problem.

“They have no credibility at all on any domestic policy,” said Watters, referring to Republicans. “And it’s fresh in everyone’s head. And they’re running on fixing a problem they created, and they won’t tell you how they’re gonna fix it.”

The Only Conclusion to be Drawn from the so-far-released Epstein Files

 

He once sold condoms bearing his name to fellow pedophiles. Now he sells $1,000-a-pop bible to MAGA morons. Which of the two products best describes Donald Trump? 

The undeniable fact from the Epstein Files so far released is that Epstein was close to BOTH DEMOCRACTS and REPUBLICANS. 

The conspiracies long peddled by Trump and his MAGA morons of an exclusively Democrat pedophile ring are only half true, for we now know that many diehard Republicans were also involved with Epstein. Most notable is the disgusting, disheveled, unshaven, unshowered slob called Radical Right extremist Steve Bannon who now appears to have been very very close to Epstein, and who remains very close to Trump himself. I haven't mentioned Trump because we all know by now how "close" was Trump with Epstein, sharing "wonderful secrets" with him.

 

So my message to Trump's MAGA morons is that the guilty in the conspiracy are THE ELITES, regardless of whether they are democrats or republicans. THE ELITES are the ultra-wealthy, the billionaires, the powerful and corrupt, the newspaper magnates, the Hollywood and Netflix and Paramount executives, those who run every detail of your lives as if you were sheep led to the slaughter. 

Instead of taking sides over the dividing line between Democrats and Republicans, instead of defending Trump blindly because he lies to you every time he opens his mouth blaming everything on the Democrats, hoax this hoax that... stop being morons believing him. TRUMP IS AS MUCH PART OF THAT CORRUPT ELITE AS ANY DEMOCRAT MIGHT BE.

The dividing line is not between Democrats and Republicans. It is not between Christians and non-Christians. It is not between Blacks and Whites. It is not between natives and immigrants....It is between decency and indecency. It is between character and integrity on one side, and villainy, dishonesty and bigotry on the other side. Now perhaps you can see that Trump is not really a republican. He is not really a Christian. He has no decency or integrity. He lies, he manipulates, he kills, he cheats, ... and he duped you to vote for him, only then to turn around and do whatever corrupt stuff he wants to do. 

TRUMP IS PART OF THE ELITE YOU DECRY. His children and Steve Witkoff's children are running around the planet supposedly making peace between "filthy sh--hole" countries but really making billions and billions in deals with every unsavory dictator out there.

And what are YOU getting out of Trump? Nothing of real value, an economy in shambles, warfare against another country, violence erupting all around a world on the verge of a third world war....All of this is Trump's own doing while claiming the exact oppposite. He says he is going to war with Venezuela to fight drug trafficking just as pardons and liberates a major druglord who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the country. He is sacrificing our long-standing European allies for the sake of an alliance with a criminal dictator like him, Vladimir Putin. With Trump, you are getting a cheap violent movie about cleansing the country out of ordinary people who are just like you, struggling to survive a world of ELITIST rapists and thieves... except they have darker skin, while he and his family engage in shady, corrupt enrichment schemes. Is that the decency you really want to see? Is that what you voted for? Is that what your Christian faith tells you to trust?

There is no shame admitting to having been suckered like fools by a convicted criminal and his convicted pedophile friends. It takes courage inside of yourself and with yourself - and not out publicly on social media - to admit your error. Next time you listen to a politician, Democrat or Republican, trying to scam you into voting for them, don't listen to the words because they may be just lies and promises they know they won't keep. Don't listen to the policies they are promising, they may be just a smokescreen. Watch for the character of the individual. Because he/she may have to face unprecedented situations he/she could not have foreseen during the campaign and for which he had no "ready-to-go" policies. At that moment, it will be his integrity and character that determine his conduct, not his campaign promises.

Trump is Buying Your "Loyalty" for $2,000. Are you This Easy and Cheap?

Up to $2,000/household, says Scott Bessent, as he tries to buy your loyalty to the billionaire crooks like him Trump and himself. They are raking billions for themselves and their elite families with deals around the world and are trying to keep you on their leash with an "up to $2,000" crumb. "Up to" means many of you will get nothing or much less, if Trump and Bessent actually act on this promise. They otherwise are telling you to tighten your belt by buying less gifts, less pencils, and are forcing you to buy less food, less medical care.... 

Only suckers will fall for this trick. I wouldn't mind getting $2,000, but that will not make me vote for criminal bilionaires.

Financial crooks are applauding Bessent's promise that says, "Working Americans will soon see a sizable financial boost — all thanks to changes tied to President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill". TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS is NOT A SIZABLE BOOST. It's a pathetic bribe. The financial and business crooks will be hounding you with commercials to try and sucker you into a scam and rip off the $2,000 out of your bank account.

Bessent said that Trump has fought harder than anyone for his signature initiatives in the One Big Beautiful Bill, pointing to provisions such as no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and auto deductibility. But he failed to mention higher crime rates, higher medical insurance costs, higher taxes/tariffs on food and groceries....

Texas Pervert US Army Doctor is a US-Born White Criminal. Not a Brown Migrant!

I suspect most male doctors who specialize in gynecology are some sort of sex perverts. Just like most Catholic priests are homosexuals or pedophiles. Imagine if you are a homosexual male in a conservative society. You don't have and you don't want a girlfriend, and you can't have one without marrying her. 

One way to escape the unavoidable questions as to your marital status is to become a priest. Once a priest, conservative people accept - or at least do not question - your status of an umarried male who somehow has no sex life. They will not question your asexual life as they would if you were a lay person. Which is why many homosexuals are drawn to the priesthood as a way to protect themselves from prying eyes and the social pressure to conform. 

The reality though is that a normal male cannot not have a sex life. At the very least, priests who abide by the vow of chastity do in all likelihood masturbate, which is also a forbidden sin. I once argued with a devout Catholic and I asked him how does he think priests manage their libido without breaking their chastity vow. His answer was that they have unwanted "nocturnal emissions"!!!

What the Church expects of its priests is inhumane and unattainable, just like much of the Christian religion which is based on made-up myths and is, at best, aspirational and not grounded in reality, unlike Judaism and Islam which are less hypothetical, more grounded, based on rules of living and less on faith (i.e. suspension of reason), without mysteries and convoluted mental distortions as explanations for the impossible. Have you ever heard of someone turning the other cheek? Or forgiving and loving his/her enemy or even his/her neighbor? Or not caring for tomorrow and living for the day? Or not having any ambition in this life because their ambition is in the afterlife bullshit? Or giving away all their wealth and money? Ever since its genesis, Christianity has NOT succeeded in eliminating or reducing violence, killings, wars, abuse of the weak. Not that the other religions have suceeded either. All religions are an epibiological "cultural" development in all human societies that tries - and always fails - to answer questions that only reason can answer. FAITH is by definition THE SUSPENSION OF REASON. 

Religious leaders can keep reminding the worst animal species that evolution ever produced of the need to be like all the other animals: In a state of grace, i.e. violent when needed, civilized when possible. But humans are violent when possible and civilized when needed. And all of it is because of that human cerebral cortex that wants answers to everything, and when there are no reasonable facts to answer those questions, the cortex invents an answer: Religion. Which is why every time science and reason find an answer to a given question, the previous commonly-held religious explanation dies off. When the plague used to strike medieval societies, people didn't know of Yersinia pestis (and of the existence of bacteria altogether). Religions told them back then that God was punishing them. They don't do that anymore because we now know that the plague is caused by a bacterium, not by God.

Forvige me for drifting far from the subject that ignited this post. But here is a white US-born male doctor serving in the US army who graduated from medical school and decided to specialize in the female genitalia. His "career", as it were, appears not to have been driven by his desire to genuinely care for his female patients, but more by his desire to peep into his female patients' genitalia. 

What pushes male doctors to specialize in the female genitalia? I'll let you answer the question for yourself. I do have a question for which I still haven't looked for an answer, but I'll venture asking it: What fraction of graduating female physicians specialize in the male genitalia? If it is the same proportion as male doctors specializing in the female genitalia, then I'll accept an innocent answer.

Army Gynecologist Charged for Allegedly Taking Secret Videos of 44 Patients During Exams

Army gynecologist Maj. Blaine McGraw has been formally charged with 54 counts of indecent visual recording

NEED TO KNOW

Army gynecologist Maj. Blaine McGraw has been charged with indecent visual recording, among other charges, after allegedly secretly filming his patients

McGraw was formally charged on Dec. 9, following an investigation from the Army's Criminal Investigation Division

A majority of the alleged offenses occurred when McGraw conducted medical exams at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas

Army gynecologist Maj. Blaine McGraw has been formally charged with allegedly secretly recording women.

McGraw, 47, was charged on Tuesday, Dec. 9, with 54 counts of indecent visual recording, five counts of conduct unbecoming an officer, one count of willful disobedience of a superior officer and one count of making a false official statement, according to The New York Times.

McGraw has been held in pretrial confinement at the Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas since Dec. 2, the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) said in a statement.

The OB-GYN worked at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, from June 2019 to June 2023, before beginning practice at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas.

During his time in Texas, McGraw is accused of making secret recordings of 44 patients from Jan. 1 through Dec. 1, 2025, CBS News reports. A majority of the alleged offenses occurred when McGraw conducted medical exams at Darnall Army Medical Center.

A source connected to the case told NBC News that as many as 1,500 people have been notified that they may have been recorded without their consent during McGraw's Army tenure.

A patient made allegations against McGraw on Oct. 17. That same day, the Army CID suspended him, revoked his access to medical records and launched its investigation "within hours,” according to a statement.

On Nov. 5, Texas law firm National Trial Law announced in a statement that it is representing a group of several victims in a lawsuit against the U.S. government, alleging that "victims had previously reported the doctor's inappropriate behavior to the Army, but allege that nothing was done and the provider was allowed to continue treating patients."

"The allegations involve one of the most egregious violations of medical trust imaginable: non-consensual videotaping and photographing of patients during intimate medical examinations, coupled with improper sexual touching during OB-GYN procedures," National Trial Law's statement continued.

On Nov. 12, National Trial Law filed an administrative complaint against the U.S. Department of the Army on behalf of an anonymous complainant identified as Jane Doe 1.

Two days prior, on Nov. 10, the Cobos Law Firm, also a Texas-based law firm, filed a lawsuit on behalf of a group of alleged victims in Bell County District Court.

Cobos represents 56 of the alleged victims, USA Today reports. The firm is representing a Jane Doe, who is identified only as a military spouse. The lawsuit alleges the U.S. Army covered up McGraw's alleged abuse.

"The Army knew," the lawsuit reviewed by PEOPLE reads. "Complaints had been made about Defendant McGraw—at Fort Hood, and years earlier at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii—yet leadership dismissed the warnings, laughed off credible allegations, and allowed McGraw to continue practicing. By doing so, the Army gave cover to a predator in uniform."

On Dec. 3, the Army’s CID said its extensive investigation now includes hundreds of interviews and a review of over half a terabyte of digital media.

Then on Monday, Dec. 8, Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and more than 50 other congressional Democrats sent a letter to the Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General. The politicians requested the office investigate if the Army allegedly ignored reports and dismissed complaints about McGraw.

“The allegations against Dr. McGraw are extremely serious, and the Army’s criminal investigation of this matter must continue unabated,” the letter read. “We are committed to demanding justice for victims of sexual assault and harassment, and we will not stay silent while the safety of women is at risk.”

A preliminary hearing for McGraw has not been scheduled.

PEOPLE reached out to the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division for comment.

Beware Donald Dumb's "Gold Card" Express Trap to US Citizenship

[Update below: You could be flushing your 1 million dollars down the toilet] 

Trump's Gold Card program is intended to being wealthy people into the country on a fast track path to residency and citizenship.

Besides its cost of $1 million, along with a non-refundable processing fee of $15,000, there is also a corporate version available for $2 million.

Not only you will have to navigate the horrific American immigration bureaucracy, but you will have to suffer an intrusion of everything in your private life.

Then, assuming you decide to go ahead and obtain your ticket to the much-vaunted but fake "American Dream", those are the potential pitfalls:

- If you're tan, brown or black - i.e. if your melanin index (as measured by the "melanin-content detector" used by police) is higher than the threshold for being an acceptable white moron - they won't take you. Right now, people with a "colored" index are snatched off the streets simply because of how they look. You could be in for an American nightmare instead of an American Dream. White supremacist Trump wants people only from places like Norway, Finland, Sweden etc. because they are near albinos as far as their melanin index. 

- Why would people from these "civilized non-sh--hole" countries want to leave them for the jungle of violence that the US is: Guns everywhere, violence everywhere, poor healthcare, etc... Why would anyone who enjoys the "happiest societies on earth" (per the annual happiness index) want to move to a country where people are always on the brink of depression and nervous breakdown because they can't afford anything, and the government subcontracts essential services to corrupt private corporations - the infamous "United Scams of America"?

- You'll be flagged by the hundred or so security agencies of the US. They'll have you on their radar for any misstep or mistake. 

- Without generalizing, but many of you wealthy millionaires and billionaires earned your money through unorthodox methods. Drug dealers, cheaters, crooks, financial scammers... of all sorts would want a spot in the sun of the United Scams of America. So you will not be in good company if you yourself are clean. In fact, the Trump administration is offering this program as a bait to invite criminals then detain and prosecute them.

- Any change in US government, such as the past 20 year-long yo yo between Democrats and Republicans: from Democrat Obama to Republican Trump, then Trump to Democrat Biden, then Biden to Trump again.... is looking like a roller-coaster of policies that get enacted then abrogated then enacted again....What you see today is not what you'll see tomorrow. By the time you apply and the slow bureaucracy makes a decision, the administration would have switched back to Democrat (Trump's masquerade is in the doldrums). You might get your key to the otherwise boring golden gates of the American desert, but then the next administration will annul the agreement, take the key back and send you away.

- It is not very likely that you can bring your family and relatives with you. Family reunification is target number one of Trump's immigration policies.

- You may have to renounce your current citizemship if you do acquire the US one because the senile orange macaque is promising to forbid dual citizenships. If you do renounce your current citizenship AND Trump decides to ship you back for some reason, you'll become stateless without any citizenship.

- Traveling on a US citizenship/passport is increasingly likely to become a Mark of Cain that is ill-viewed by most nations whose citizens are being mistreated, killed by boat strikes, threatened for non-existent "genocides"....

Applicants for Trump’s newly released gold immigration cards could have wasted $1M if courts axe program
Josh Marcus
Fri, December 12, 2025

The Trump administration this week launched the president’s immigration “gold card,” a program allowing applicants to pay $1 million to become lawful permanent residents, but legal experts warn all that money could go down the drain for these hopefuls because the initiative rests on flawed legal reasoning and could be struck down in court.

Other Trump tweaks to the immigration system like a new $100,000 fee for H-1B applicants have already spawned major lawsuits, and if the gold card melts down in a court battle, applicants would face a slim chance of ever getting their money back, Shev Dalal-Dheini, senior director of government relations at the American Immigration Lawyers Association, told Axios.

“At the very minimum, they’d have to sue the U.S. government to get it back,” she said.

In addition to applicants being out $1 million, a court challenge could also imperil the status of people who have already gotten their gold cards.

Critics warn that the gold card program, which gives applicants permanent residency through EB-1 and EB-2 visas usually reserved for people with extraordinary abilities like famous academics or artists, exceeds the president’s legal powers. Congress, they say, can create new immigration law, not the president.

Critics argue Trump took congressional powers and made his own law by creating the gold card program, leaving applicants vulnerable to the possibility their $1 million application fee could get lost in a legal battle.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, called the whole process “VERY illegal” in a post on X this week.

“The Trump admin says anyone who pays $1 million will be deemed to have ‘exceptional business ability’ and become eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa,” he wrote. “But there's nothing stopping someone from just getting a loan or using parents' money.”

“Of course, nothing exemplifies the Trump ethos more than ‘every rich person is exceptional at business,’” he added, “but that doesn't change the fact that people who are getting this visa will not necessarily meet the legal requirements, and could risk deportation under a future admin.”

The Independent has contacted the White House and State Department for comment.

Legal concerns aside, the administration looks set to continue tilting the immigration system away from the most vulnerable and toward the wealthiest applicants.

The White House says a $5 million “platinum card” is on the way giving foreigners temporary residence in the U.S. without being subject to U.S. taxes on foreign income.

After an Afghan national allegedly shot National Guard troops in Washington, the administration froze all asylum decisions, ordered the review of green cards from a series of mostly impoverished nations on his so-called travel ban list, and indefinitely blocked immigration applications from Afghans.

For a while, we got used to the abusive X-ray machine that allows CBP agents to see you naked. They said it was to combat crime and terrorism. Take you shoes off. Take your laptop out. Take you coat off.... We got used to all of that. 

Check it out on: https://www.yahoo.com/news/videos/former-trump-white-house-official-145515545.html 

Now the racism of the Trump administration is reaching new heights. If you come from "filthy shithole" countries - the so-called Third World African, Arab, Asian, Caribbean... countries - Trump will do everything to humiliate you and find any pretext to deny you a visa. And even if a US consular officer back in your country grants you a visa, the racists of Trump's CBP will turn you away at US ports of entry. You would have spent months and lots of money for nothing.

Right now, CBP has instituted a new set of policies at ports of entry. They will take your phone, your laptop, and any other electronic devices and will look at all your information, e-mails, texts, photos and videos; they will look at your "contacts" on your phone, and they will keep a record of all of it.... If there is anything in there that Trump doesn't like - like a joke, a cartoon, a text, a name... - they will - at best - send you back, and at worst they will arrest you and send you to jail for an indefinite period of time. They might even deport you to their offshore prison systems without ever telling you why and for how long.

MY ADVICE TO FOOTBALL FANS: DON'T COME TO AMERICA TO BE RAPED BY TRUMP. STAY AT HOME AND WATCH THE THING ON TV. YOU'LL KEEP YOUR DIGNITY AND SELF-ESTEEM.

YOU CAN ARGUE THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS: KEEP THE GLOBAL MELANIN CONTENT ACROSS THE US POPULATION TO ITS LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL. HE IS BLEACHING AMERICA TO PURE WHITE. YES, BUT HOW DOES YOUR HUMILIATION AND SEQUESTRATION IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS (BECAUSE YOU'RE SIMPLY NOT WHITE ENOUGH OR CHRISTIAN ENOUGH) HELP YOU? 

BY BOYCOTTING THE WORLD CUP, YOU WILL HIT THE JACKASS RIGHT WHERE IT HURTS MOST: MONEY. HELP MAKE THE WORLD CUP A FINANCIAL DISASTER TO PUNISH THE RACIST ORANGUTAN IN THE WHITE OUTHOUSE.

PUNISH THOSE IN THE US TOURISM INDUSTRY WHO SUPPORT TRUMP. THE MILLIONS OF CANADIAN TOURISTS WHO REGULARLY COME TO THE US HAVE VANISHED. THEY ALL WENT TO MEXICO (Willie Nelson?) OR CUBA INSTEAD THIS PAST SUMMER.

BY BOYCOTTING THE WORLD CUP, YOU WILL SEND A MESSAGE TO INFANTINO, THE CREEPY BALD ALIEN REPTILE FIFA PRESIDENT, WHO WAS KISSING TRUMP'S ASS IN PUBLIC.

TRUMP HAS ALREADY VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS: HE DID NOT INVITE THE BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT TO THE G-20 BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. HE DID NOT GIVE A VISA TO MUSLIM ARAB PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT ABBAS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UN'S GENERAL ASSEMBLY LAST SEPTEMBER BECAUSE HE IS A MUSLIM ARAB.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO REWARD?  

His Parents Should Have Named Him DICK...Like Nixon

Epstein Files treasure trove is opening up:
 

Your president talks like a dick. He walks like a dick. We all suspected he was a dick. Now we have proof. And.... he's a HUUUUGE one.

 

 

 

 

Yes, Fascist Homeland Insecurity Chief Kristi Noem Targets US Citizens...

 ...because they "look" Asians, Africans, Hispanics.... Racial profiling is a nice way of describing it. More accurately, what Noem and Trump are doing is racist persecution of people who don't look "white", and that is OFFICIAL REGIME-APPROVED RACISM.

When the African-American and Hispanic communities stand up, instead of voting like slaves to their white masters?

‘Unjust, Uncalled For’: U.S. Citizen Sounds The Alarm About Being Arrested By ICE In Minneapolis
Li Zhou
Fri, December 12, 2025

Mubashir, a 20-year-old Somali American citizen, said he was taking his lunch break in Minneapolis when a federal agent abruptly tackled him.

“I told him, ‘I’m a U.S. citizen, what is going on?’ He didn’t seem to care,” Mubashir, who declined to share his last name for safety reasons, recalled during a Wednesday press conference alongside Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O’Hara.

Video that officials played at the press event captured two agents shoving Mubashir into a stairwell and handcuffing him. A subsequent clip showed an agent putting Mubashir in a chokehold and pushing him down into the snow before placing him in a vehicle. 

Mubashir’s harrowing arrest underscores longstanding concerns local leaders have expressed about the potential for racial profiling as the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surges in the Minneapolis area. The recent operation, which reportedly includes a focus on Somali immigrants in the region, also follows repeated attacks Trump has levied against members of that community in recent weeks.

As Minnesota Public Radio reported, Mubashir was not suspected of any crime.

“What you very clearly saw in that video was Mubashir, an American citizen, someone who has been here nearly his entire life, tackled, handcuffed, taken into custody … for simply walking down the street and looking like he’s Somali,” Frey said during Wednesday’s briefing.


Mubashir, 20, speaks out about his experience getting violently arrested by federal agents. City of Minneapolis

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, claimed that an agent confronted Mubashir because he fled from them, something he denied. 

“I didn’t even see him first. All I did was turn around. When I seen a black-topped car pull up, I just turned around to go back inside the office,” Mubashir said. “I could seen him behind me just running towards me. He pushes me inside the restaurant. I thought it was a random person assaulting me or kidnapping me.”

Mubashir said the agent didn’t tell him to stop or say that he was with ICE.

“Having reasonable suspicion — as protected under the U.S. Constitution —officers gave chase and caught up with the individual, who violently resisted officers and refused to answer questions,” McLaughlin claimed. “A large crowd of agitators descended and began to threaten the officers. For their safety, they temporarily detained the individual to safely finish asking their questions. Once officers finished their questioning, he was promptly released.”

McLaughlin also suggested that allegations that DHS engages in racial profiling are “categorically FALSE.”

Mubashir says he repeatedly offered the federal agents multiple ways to verify his citizenship, including sharing a photo of his passport and providing his name and date of birth, but they declined to consider them.

Instead, they asked to photograph and scan his face, which he refused to do. They also attempted to take his fingerprints, but were unable to do so because their devices were malfunctioning, he said.

Eventually, the agents drove him to the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling.

Upon arrival at the facility, Mubashir says he was denied both water and medical care. The agents put his feet in shackles and detained him before they finally verified his citizenship and released him to his parents, he said. 

“What happened to me cannot stay quiet,” Mubashir said. “What happened to me was unjust, uncalled for.”

Mubashir said he spoke out to raise awareness of DHS’s abuses and questioned how agents were treating people when there were no cameras to capture their actions.

A growing number of U.S. citizens have reported being detained by federal agents as the administration has ramped up its crackdown. Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, says she was also arrested Tuesday after she confronted and observed ICE agents apprehending her neighbors. According to an October ProPublica report, immigration agents have held more than 170 U.S. citizens this past year, including multiple who reported being subject to violence during their arrests.

Kristi Noem Testifies DHS Hasn't Deported Any Veterans. Seconds Later, a Kicked-Out War Hero Calls into the Hearing

NEED TO KNOW

Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem was questioned about a Purple Heart veteran deported by ICE during a Dec. 11 hearing

Rep. Seth Magaziner brought the veteran, Sae Joon Park, to the hearing over Zoom after he was deported to Korea earlier this year.

Magaziner accused Noem of not knowing "the difference between the good guys and the bad guys"

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was challenged during a hearing today about her department's controversial deportation practices.

Noem, 54, testified before the House on Thursday, Dec. 11, about national security threats, where she was questioned by a representative about the deportation of military veterans by the Trump administration.

"Madame Secretary, how many United States military veterans have you deported?" Rep. Seth Magaziner, a Democrat from Rhode Island, asked Noem during the hearing.

When she replied, "Sir, we have not deported U.S. citizens or military veterans," Magaziner began to express his respect for military members as a man who had been sitting behind him stood and brought over a tablet featuring a veteran calling into the hearing over video.

"As Americans, we owe everything to those who have served our country in uniform, particularly those who have served in combat. Do you agree with that?" Magaziner asked.

Noem began to say, "Sir, I believe that people that are in the United States that are citizens have legal status here—" before Magaziner interrupted to introduce the video guest.

"Madame Secretary, we are joined on Zoom by a gentleman named Sae Joon Park," Magaziner said. "He is a United States Army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country in Panama in 1989."

Magaziner said Park — a Purple Heart recipient — had struggled with PTSD and substance abuse issues after his time in combat, and had been arrested in the '90s for "minor drug offenses." NPR previously reported that Park was charged with possession of a controlled substance and bail jumping while battling an addiction to crack cocaine.

Park has been sober for the last 14 years, the congressman told Noem, before saying, "Earlier this year, you deported him to Korea, a country he hasn't lived in since he was 7 years old."

Magaziner then asked Noem to join him in "thanking Mr. Park for his service to our country."

She responded by saying she is "grateful for every single person that has served our country and follows our laws, and knows that our laws are important and every one of them needs to be enforced."

When he pressed her about looking into Park's case, Noem said she "absolutely" would, but added, "Our programs need to have integrity, as well."

Magaziner continued with his questioning when he introduced a Navy veteran named Jim Brown who is married to a woman who came to the U.S. from Ireland and has lived in the country for 48 years, but has been in prison for the last four months.

"She did not come here illegally, and she has never committed any crime other than writing two bad checks totaling $80 ten years ago," Magaziner said.

Noem claimed it was not "my prerogative, my latitude or my job to pick and choose which laws in this country get enforced," but Magaziner hit back by claiming she has "broad discretion" as DHS secretary. When asked, she said she would review the case of Brown's wife.

The congressman also introduced a veteran whose father, Narciso Barranco, had been targeted by immigration agents over the summer and punched in the the head. He asked Noem to consider offering parole to Barranco.

Magaziner went on to criticize Noem, telling her, “There are many problems with your leadership, but the biggest problem is this: You don’t seem to know how to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Go after the bad guys, go after the terrorists, do not go after veterans, Marines, children, United States citizens.”

Noem allegedly left the hearing early, according to The Hill and The Washington Post, claiming she had to attend another meeting that had been canceled. Noem’s office told The Hill the secretary found out the meeting had been called off after leaving the witness table.

Noem has come under fire during her tenure at DHS for her attention-grabbing deportation tactics. Earlier this month, she said on X that she had been discussing ramping up travel bans with President Donald Trump.

Noem recommended a "full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies."

Her Dec. 1 post came not long after Trump, 79, said his administration planned to "permanently pause" migration from "Third World Countries." He did not identify countries by name or clarify how he would implement the immigration pause.

Donald Dumb is Really Old, Senile and Weird: IMPEACH HIM ALREADY?

 

The MAGA herd of morons spent years crucifying and persecuting Joe Biden because he was aging on the job. Donald Dumb's main campaign message back then was, and even now still is, "Sleepy Joe doesn't know what the hell he's doing".

The "establishment" Republicans who boarded the Trump ship to save their own political skins, and those who vanished in the great beyond out of fear of retribution by the senile Orangutan madman in the White House SHOULD START JUMPING OFF THE SINKING TRUMP SHIP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, OR AT LEAST SAVE THEIR REPUTATIONS AND THEIR LEGACY.

Will the racists, the Nazis, the white supremacist racists, Nazis, nativists, isolationists, pro-slavery, anti-emancipation..., who are repeating sad chapters of American history when the conservatives hated everyone who was not white, protestant, and anglo-saxon and did their share of persecuting all these populations whom they called "immigrants", when they themselves - the white supremacist racists, Nazis, nativists, isolationists, pro-slavery, anti-emancipation...- descend from their own batches of immigrants to the US.

The US doesn't belong to the white supremacist racists, Nazis, nativists, isolationists, pro-slavery, anti-emancipation...any more than it belongs to ALL its other immigrants. What could their argument be? That they came here first and decided what the rules are? That is the silliest argument that can be made. Was the genesis of the US a contest? If it was, then the rules of the contest should remain the same. But the white supremacist racists, Nazis, nativists, isolationists, pro-slavery, anti-emancipation...periodically change the rules in the middle of the game, BECAUSE THEY KEEP LOSING.

In any case, Donald Dumb is leading this yet another wave of ugliness that has peppered the history of the US.

The white supremacist racists, Nazis, nativists, isolationists, pro-slavery, anti-emancipation... morons killed John Kennedy bacuse he was a Catholic. They killed Bobby Kennedy because he was a Catholic. They killed Martin Luther King because he was African. They hated Barack Obama because he was African. Then they hated Joe Biden because he was the second Catholic president of the US, JFK being the first ever.

Right now their stupid demented criminal president is very fast declining into senility. The white supremacist racists, Nazis, nativists, isolationists, pro-slavery, anti-emancipation... are now led by a republican clone of senile Joe Biden minus the decency and with a heavy touch of vulgarity. How long can they keep the charade of trusting what the senile criminal idiot is doing to the country? They love his racism and vulgarity, and don't give a damn about what is happening to the country.

I can be repetitive in my opinion of Donald Dumb and his herd of white supremacist racists, Nazis, nativists, isolationists, pro-slavery, anti-emancipation... But everyone has their way of expressing their sorrow at America's decline under Donald Dumb, and this blog is my way of mourning the America I have come to know and love, and which may never recover from the damage this criminal charlatan is causing it.

Opinion: It’s Clear That Trump, 79, Is as Cooked as a Well-Done Steak
Michael Ian Black

Donald Trump/Truth Social

Let me be frank: The President of the United States is out of his mind, and nobody’s doing a goddamned thing about it. What do I mean? Any number of red flags, really, but in particular right now it’s the latest five hundred words of blithering lunacy he shared on his social media site Tuesday night.

They are not the words of a man elected to lead the world’s most powerful nation. They are, instead, those of a malevolent Don Quixote tilting at a cancer-causing, bird-killing windmill which exists only to billow stale air around in the space between his ears.

Since the start of his second regime, Trump has roared against any suggestion that he’s not the man he used to be. But it is true nonetheless. I mean, his cankles have now swollen to twice their pre-presidential girth. The formerly truculent stride has been replaced by a wobbly gait more suitable to a listing sailboat than the captain of the ship of state. The make-up which used only to coat his doughy face has now migrated southward to his hands, covering mysterious bruises—bruises no doubt related to all the arm-twisting he’s done to solve all those wars, right? Wrong!

Trump is no lion in winter; he is, instead, lying in winter.

“There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me!” his rant began. To which I say, “Golfing isn’t work, Mr. President.” Nor is napping during Cabinet meetings. You see, our hardest-working POTUS famously keeps a light schedule. “Executive time” (TV watching, yelling at people on the phone) usually keeps the nearly 80-year-old in the residence until late morning, when he begins his official day. Which is packed.

Today, for example, Trump’s publicly available schedule has him doing a 9:00 a.m. press pool, followed by a 2:00 p.m. roundtable (closed to the press), ending the day with a 5:00 p.m. Oval Office event described as “The President greets Pastors.” How does he have the stamina?!

Remember when DOGE was out there haranguing federal employees to detail lists of accomplishments in order to root out the redundant, the lazy and the incompetent? I have some news for Elon—you missed somebody.

Trump’s “weave” only degrades from there. No, he didn’t stop eight wars. No, he hasn’t saved millions of lives. In fact, cuts to USAID have likely already cost hundreds of thousands; research published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet estimates that the cuts could cost 14 million by 2030, putting Trump on par with some of history’s greatest mass murderers.

As for our financial situation, no, you wethead, it is not “the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country.” By nearly all metrics—GDP growth, unemployment, inflation, and wage growth—the current economy is worsening. Hardly the stuff of a Nobel Prize for Economics, which he will surely be demanding just as soon as he gets that Peace Prize.

Nor has he created an ‘aura’ around the United States that has led “every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before.” Just today, journalist Matt Gurney published an account from his time at the Halifax International Security Forum, an annual gathering of military, defense, and intelligence bigwigs from across the globe. There, Gurney describes an off-the-record dinner in which one officer from a “major allied nation” said regarding America’s moral leadership in the world: “we will never f---ing trust you again.”

Oh.

And let’s get to the really good stuff before, you know, it’s a crime to talk about it: the bizarre bragging about the fact that he’s had to get multiple cognitive exams tests. He makes a point of stating that no other president has gone through the battery of tests to which he has been subjected. The reason, unstated: most other presidents haven’t demonstrated the level of cognitive impairment our current one displays on a minute-to-minute basis.

I mean, does he think his doctors are just pulling him away from his duties as president to ask him to count to seventeen or spell “autocracy” for funsies?

What we’re seeing from Trump is way worse than anything that came out of our last gerontocratic president, Gampy Joe.

Most alarming of all is Trump’s notion that telling the truth amounts to treason. We’ve seen this battering of the press since his first campaign, but the vitriol is getting worse. The political prosecutions show no sign of slowing down, despite the administration’s unenviable record of failing to secure indictments against James Comey, Letitia James or even that villain-to-end-all-villains, the Guy Who Threw The Sandwich. How long until some Trump flunky decides that the perfect gift you give to the man who has everything (but loves nothing) is a journalistic prosecution? An FBI raid on an unfriendly outlet?

Or worse?

Taken together, this latest Trumpian screed ought to be Exhibit A in a discharge of the 25th Amendment. If he were a more stable genius, I would assume the president to be exercising a certain degree of hyperbole. I no longer make such assumptions. Scarily enough, I think Trump actually believes what he’s saying. I no longer believe he’s capable of separating reality from fantasy.

Donny Demento is slowing up. His health is bad. His brain is mush. His ego has swollen to the size of a thousand suns. He’s transformed 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue from a dignified seat of American governance to a gold-gilded cuckoo’s nest of his own design. And, for some reason, most of the American establishment is still bending over backward to avoid saying the obvious: The Burger King is cooked.

Opinion - Trump’s presidency is crumbling before our eyes
Max Burns, opinion contributor
Wed, December 10, 2025


[LI: The Drunkard Warrior]

It doesn’t take a political genius to recognize that things are in free fall over at the White House. Less than a year after staffing his administration with a cadre of bumbling goons valued only for their slavish devotion to his ego, President Trump now finds himself leading a government wholly incapable of governing.

Forgive my lack of surprise.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing mounting Republican criticism over a potentially illegal order to kill the survivors of a Caribbean boat strike. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice is in disarray after three failed efforts to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. And on Monday, U.S. Attorney Alina Habba abruptly resigned after being disqualified by a federal judge from holding her office.

Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel is defending his misuse of a government jet to ferry his country music star girlfriend to her shows, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is defending himself against claims from his alleged former mistress Olivia Nuzzi that he is lying to the nation about his sobriety.

If anyone in Trump’s White House is actually getting any work done, they’ve done a good job hiding it from the public.

Trump’s approval rating cratered to a new low of just 36 percent in late November following months of open-air dysfunction and his repeated failure to address fundamental problems like rising consumer prices. For the millions of Americans who are just starting to tune in politically ahead of next year’s big midterm election, the added horror of Trump’s nonfunctional White House team simply solidifies the growing consensus that, despite his big promises, Trump just doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing.

The situation has grown so bleak for Republicans that many endangered Republican lawmakers are doing something once considered impossible: directly criticizing Trump’s failure to lead. As Axios reports, Republicans concerned about their 2026 prospects have taken to bucking Trump at a level that would have been unimaginable during his first term, including forcing the release of the Epstein files (which Trump has yet to do) and lambasting his scheme to issue budget-busting “tariff rebate checks.”

In fact, most of Trump’s second-term strategy seems to revolve around offering substantial payouts to critical voting blocs alienated by his half-baked economic policies. Facing a revolt by once reliably Republican farmers, Trump hurriedly announced a $12 billion farm-focused bailout aimed at undoing some of the damage caused by his agricultural tariffs.

In a sign of just how frosty Trump’s relationship with Congress has grown, most of that money will be distributed through the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, avoiding what would likely be a losing fight with skeptical Republican senators. Whatever power Trump once exerted over his colleagues on Capitol Hill seems to have dissolved as his popularity continues to skid.

But Trump’s own advisers are beginning to realize they can’t pay off all of the people all of the time, and even die-hard MAGA voters are growing impatient for Trump to deliver any significant legislative wins. If Trump’s current priorities are any indication, they’re going to be waiting a while.

Nearly 40 percent of Trump voters now say the cost of living in their area is the worst they can remember, and they largely blame Trump for failing to act on his pledge to immediately lower prices “starting on day one.” Instead of acknowledging his misstep and doubling down on a solution, Trump is instead furious that Republicans are talking about affordability issues at all. It’s hard to imagine a more out-of-touch response to legitimate voter concerns.

Trump’s crumbling administration is living proof that the best way to convince voters to elect Democrats is to let Republicans run things for a year. The White House is so soaked in ethical and legal scandals that its governing agenda — what little there ever was — has evaporated completely. No one, least of all the president, seems very interested in trying to salvage the few stalled policy initiatives that remain. Merely keeping track of their multiplying crises eats up most of the day.

As America turns the page on 2025, Trump’s already overburdened and underqualified team will now have to add a tempestuous midterm election to its growing list of headaches. Republicans outside Trump’s orbit have serious doubts about his ability to save the party from a looming electoral reckoning now that the veil has slipped off the MAGA movement to reveal the sloppy mess that always churned just below its oily surface. They are right to be horrified at the nightmare that lurks below.

=========================================

More from DAILY BEAST:

A former strategist for the Republican Party says Donald Trump’s latest rally miserably failed to persuade the public that the aging president’s still got it.

“A few hours after we discussed on [podcast Hacks on Tap] why Trump has cut back rallies so much, it was pretty evident at his event today in PA just why,” Mike Murphy, who previously worked as a political consultant for John McCain, Jeb Bush, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, posted on X Wednesday.

“Meandering, more confusion and mental weakness than usual,” he went on. “Even a bit shall we say, low-energy. Weaker optics too. He’s clearing [sic] fading.”

The White House had billed Trump’s Tuesday address in Pennsylvania as an event where the president would reassure voters the U.S. economy is in good hands amid persistently high inflation, mounting economic uncertainty, poor job growth, high unemployment, and a widespread cost-of-living crisis.

Instead, the 79-year-old president’s performance has now been widely panned by critics as a brutal reminder of an accelerating decline in his cognitive and physical health.

X/Mike Murphy

In the course of his 100-minute speech, Trump suffered from slowed speech, trouble finding his words, repetition and veering off on wild tangents—all signs that mental health experts have lately pointed to as evidence he is clearly feeling his age.

Speculation about the state of his cognitive and physical health is clearly getting to Trump. After his rally on Tuesday night, he posted a rambling 500-word screed to Truth Social in which he complained about media reports on his health and even suggested such reporting might constitute high crimes against the country.

“After all the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean ‘THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES’,” he wrote.

His critics have been swift in their response. “Donald Trump is in poor physical health,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom almost immediately shot back on X.

US-Born White "Santa" and School Teacher Loves Sex with Children

What is it with white Americans and their infatuation with sexually abusing children? Could it be that Nicke Fuentes is right? Namely that American white men should not marry because American women are obnoxious, talk a lot, spend their hard-earned money, and look manly? Which drives men away from women and into abusing children. Not a day goes by without some white morons, including priests, teachers, cops, firemen, reverends, preachers, politicians, women, and other otherwise "respectable" white Aryans getting caught for possessing and practicing child sex abuse. 

And now even Santa is in the American pedophile gang.


Mercer County Prosecutor's Office - Mark Paulino

A retired school teacher who now works as a seasonal Santa Claus character has been arrested in New Jersey for alleged possession of child sex abuse images.

Mark Paulino, 64, has been charged with possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, and of endangering the welfare of a child by the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey.

Mercer County Prosecutor Janetta D. Marbrey said due to Paulino’s “active engagement with young children” as a Santa character who is available for photographs and private, corporate and organizational events, “detectives worked around the clock to obtain a search warrant.”

Prosecutors say that a website believed to be Paulino's says he is "recently retired from the Hamilton Township School District as an elementary school teacher and is now a Santa character available for photographs and private, corporate and organizational events.

Marbrey said authorities were able to seize “multiple items of evidentiary value” as Paulino was taken into custody without incident. If convicted, the retired school teacher could face five to 10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $150,000 for his second-degree offenses.
