Affordability fact check: Trump can’t hide from higher prices

“During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump continually promised to make life more ‘affordable’ for Americans battered by Bidenflation. But in Iowa, Trump scoffed that Democrats ‘come up with this word ‘affordability.’’ ‘First time you heard about it was like a few months ago,’ he said. ‘You’re not hearing it so much anymore … because the prices are coming down so much.’ Yet on Nov. 29, Trump proclaimed on Truth Social: ‘I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT.’ Six weeks later, he sneered in Detroit that affordability is a ‘fake word by Democrats.’ For Donald Trump, the affordability issue conveniently appears and vanishes like the Cheshire Cat in ‘Alice in Wonderland.'” (02/01/26)
“Melania” serves as a dainty middle finger to Trump’s media tormenters (who were wrong about everything)

“In a big blow to the Trump-deranged community, Melania Trump’s eponymous movie knocked the lights out on its opening weekend. It came in at No. 3 overall, and its $7 million box office take in three days is almost unheard of for a documentary. ‘Melania’ is crushing it on Rotten Tomatoes, too, with a 99% audience score on the ‘popcornometer’ easily besting the sneering critics’ 10% on the Tomatometer ratings. Like everything to do with Donald Trump’s two presidencies, whatever the leftist media’s opinion, the American public thinks the opposite. The inverse media-ometer is one of the most reliable gauges of public sentiment in this country.” (02/01/25)
Sanctioned Russian jet touches down in Cuba, echoing secret flights before Maduro’s ouster
Source: Fox News
“A Russian cargo plane typically used to transfer military equipment landed at a military airfield in Havana Sunday night, echoing flight patterns seen ahead of the capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. The U.S.-sanctioned Ilyushin Il-76, operated by Russian state-linked airline Aviacon Zitotrans, was tracked landing at San Antonio de los Baños Airfield, a Cuban military installation roughly 30 miles south of Havana, according to public flight data. Flight-tracking records show the aircraft stopped in St. Petersburg and Sochi in Russia; Mauritania, Africa; and the Dominican Republic. Each landing would have required approval from host governments, offering a window into which countries are continuing to permit Russian military-linked aviation activity despite Western sanctions.

“Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, whose [abduction] by immigration agents in Minnesota sparked widespread anger over the Trump Administration’s mass deportation program, has been released. He boarded a plane on Sunday morning in Texas with his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, who was [abducted] with him, after a federal judge ordered their release a day earlier. … The boy’s case gained national attention when he was photographed on Jan. 20 wearing a blue bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack, being [abducted] by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in the driveway of his home.” (02/01/26)

We All Need to Have a Serious Conversation About Revolution

by Nicky Reid
“A pretty good portion of humanity clearly seems to recognize that we are gazing into the abyss at the moment but how exactly do we turn this ship around from the brink of oblivion? … At some point somebody has to say the word ‘revolution’ and I’m not talking about some commie-scented air-freshener for a champaign socialist candidacy in SOHO. I am talking in no uncertain terms about all of us putting our partisan tribalism aside and doing what I think we all know needs to be done. I am talking about having a serious and ongoing conversation about overthrowing the government of the United States of America.” (02/01/26)

“The California Post is betting its buzzy launch on a war with Gov. Gavin Newsom — and the only surprise so far is the governor’s unbridled enthusiasm for a fight with Rupert Murdoch’s new West Coast tabloid.” (02/01/26)
