Amazing what the FBI can do when it isn’t surveilling Catholics who attend Latin masses or pro-life Christians. The FBI just arrested six Democrats who were running a $66 million food stamp fraud ring. Michael Kehoe, Mohamad Nawafleh, Omar Alrawashdeh, Gamal Obaid, Emad Alrawashdeh and Arlasa Davis were arrested for stealing $66 million from taxpayers through food stamp fraud. Good job, FBI.

American children are not just unwell, they are the sickest generation in our nation’s history. Over 40% now live with at least 1 chronic condition. Obesity has tripled since the 1970s. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in teens. Autism, once rare, is now 1 in every 31 children. Type 2 diabetes, almost non-existent in youth a few decades ago, is projected to rise by over 600% by 2060 if nothing changes. Most preventable.

With more than one-third of the FBI agents located in Washington, DC, FBI Director Kash Patel decided to relocate these valuable assets across the country. This is only common sense since one-third of the crimes aren’t committed in the Washington, DC, area. Unfortunately, under the Biden Administration, the FBI Director and Attorney General wanted these FBI agents close by to carry out their hideous lawfare schemes, like the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

The vast majority of American taxpayers didn’t even know they were funding hundreds of billions of their taxpayer dollars in annual “subsidies” to affluent Ivy League private colleges and universities that have endowments worth hundreds of billions on their own. Time to shut it down!

Once again, Boyertown held its annual Memorial Day Parade. It is an unmatched tradition to see young and old remembering and honoring our fallen soldiers. So glad to see Boyertown High School, the Middle School, and the Alumni Bands. The Alumni Band’s version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic was awe-inspiring. Many thanks to the police for their help, too!

The facts prove that Donald Trump isn’t just Making America Great Again, he’s also reshaping the world and America’s place in it.
Progressives (Democrat voters, I’m sure) who feel the need to self-identify according to their sexual proclivities, find it necessary to align themselves as part of the newest group of social misfits – 2SLGBTQIA+. For normal people who haven’t a clue what that means, it stands for two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex and asexual. The plus sign shows the various ways people express themselves under the mental 2SLGBTQIA+ umbrella. Sad.
Adoration of Trump is delusional. The man is a convicted felon who has skirted justice several times. His “Maga” theme borders on Kool-Aid consumption. At least thin it down with some Jack Daniel’s. Wait, that would ruin the Jack. His silly executive orders, his cryptocurrency scam, and finally taking food out of the mouths of children with his Big Beautiful Bill. It’s all wrong.

Memo to Montgomery County Commissioners: If anyone is in this country illegally, they will be deported. Period. That’s all that needs to be said. So simple, even Montgomery County’s Democratic County Commissioners understand it. I’m not sure why they don’t just say this to the public instead of pretending they’re going to provide safety to these illegals.

Looks like Elon Musk fell way short of his prediction of saving trillions of dollars with DOGE. All he did was cause major damage to government departments and programs that people depend on, at the same time putting us in danger on airplanes and in healthcare. Now he’s going back to Tesla to help them lose money. He’s good at that.
California Gov. Newsom (A Democrat) is finally acknowledging that illegal immigrants are costing taxpayers Billions. Because California is allowing illegal immigrants to have healthcare insurance, California medical insurance is $12 billion in the hole so far this year. Since illegals pay no taxes, Newsome is proposing that illegals pay $100 a month for health insurance — that’s far less than I pay for Medicare.

Happy Tuesday — yes, even to the local MAGAts, the human scum wrecking our schools, polluting our politics, and turning neighbor against neighbor. These lowlifes scream “freedom” while stripping it from everyone. Meanwhile, our local patriots fight for decency, truth, and actual American values. Keep whining, MAGA cultists — we’ll keep working. And will win. You’re not patriots. You’re the problem. (A Trump style greeting)

Imagine the outrage by the liberal mainstream media, the Democrat Party and their TDS sheeple if it were a bunch of MAGA politicians who forcefully invaded a NJ holding facility for undocumented criminals and physically attacked law enforcement personnel instead of it being America-hating Democrat politicians. They’d call it an insurrection and throw those insurrectionist politicians in prison for years with no due process. Dems be tripp’n!
Butch
Glad to see that Stern, Levengood, Peaches, and the rest of the lunatic MAGA crowd are okay with high tariffs, rising inflation, rising unemployment, and high gas prices. You folks probably don’t have the resources (money), so this is just a game to you. You’re not serious people, and you don’t pretend to be. Your racist and hate-filled attitude toward people who don’t look like you comes out clearly on Sound Off.

To The Moderate: Machinist Mate Hegseth didn’t extend the Truman deployment, the Navy’s decision! 11 Super Carriers (CVN), not 11 deployable CVNs. Three deployed replacing three, then those three have one-third of the crew/airwing replaced, along with a shipyard/drydock period lasting about a year, when availability exists! Three are doing workups/qualifications prior to deployment. One in RCOH, refueling complex overhaul, about three years! One somewhere in between!
Just the facts!
Glad to see the Trump administration halting all federal subsidies (AKA, taxpayer dollars) to colleges and universities, like Harvard and Columbia, who openly promote antisemitism and support Hamas Palestinians. Those Ivy League institutions would rather cling to their radical anti-American/anti-moral ideologies than take billions from the government they hate. That’s commitment! More proof that the Democrat Party is the party of hate.
To Info Depot — Trump’s “big beautiful bill” does not eliminate the tax on Social Security. It provides a “temporary” $4,000 deduction for senior citizens, and that’s it. It doesn’t eliminate taxes on tips, either, by the way. You guys need to stop taking Trump and the GOP at their word and start looking into this stuff.

Let’s put some of the puzzle pieces together. We have: the airplane from Qatar, the bitcoin dinner, the tariffs that put American businesses in peril, the revenge against Harvard, and Musk’s use of drugs. Is it possible that the man-child who needs constant attention is making us feel weary and concerned?

Trump Denial Syndrome is manifested by excusing any and all behavior by their leader. Any wrongdoing, even with verifiable evidence, is immediately dismissed. Fearing any information that may contradict their leader, they simply refuse to view it and often react with anger and name-calling. Just like their leader.

Have no fear, “Moderate,” the truth about January 6 is on its way. Amazing how businesses like Wendy’s, Advance Auto, and Dunkin Donuts are destroyed and Moderate doesn’t call the perpetrators anarchists. Or Tesla dealerships are attacked along with private Tesla owners and Moderate doesn’t call them anarchists. But let a few people walk through doors held open by Capitol police and those folks are anarchists. We will get the truth soon.

For the first time in its 29-year history, the Rasmussen poll found that 50% of the people surveyed think the country is on the right track! Rasmussen is not an outlier. The RealClearPolitics average of all polls indicates that optimism is up sharply from prior years.

Still sharp as a tack, Joe Biden on Friday appeared in Delaware and talked briefly to reporters. He said in response to questions about his health, “I can’t walk, and I am mentally incompetent.” Biden also said this, “You notice that 12 of the 10 leading presidential historians rated me pretty good…” Yes, he did have control of the Nuclear codes.
