- Reposted by Bob MannWOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

No, I haven't. Not this one. lastcampaign.substack.com/p/another-am...
- Reposted by Bob MannLet's unpack the dogshit that Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson unpacked. First, nowhere in their first BIG SCOOP do they consider that one of America's most consequential presidents used a wheelchair -- and hid that fact -- for 12 years of the presidency. Then remember this book sells MENTAL decline.

- Reposted by Bob MannIn 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

- Reposted by Bob MannIt's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
- Reposted by Bob MannThis isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.
