Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg brought the receipts and laid them on the table during an appearance on Fox News to prove disgraced former president Donald Trump’s so-called accomplishments in office were actually just a collection of broken promises.
Speaking with Fox host Shannon Bream, Buttigieg noted that while Trump said in 2016 what he planned to do as head of state, all he really accomplished was lying about everything.
“He kept his promise to destroy the right to choose in this country and he kept his promise on tax cuts for the rich.”
“And if you want to know what a second Trump term would be like, I would start by looking at those rare promises that he actually managed to keep.”
On the issue of abortion and a woman’s right to choose, Buttigieg also pushed back when Bream claimed Trump had “disavowed” wanting a national ban on the procedure.
“Yeah, he’s disavowed a lot of things. I don’t believe him because he lies all the time,” Buttigieg replied.

While he was at it, Buttigieg also suggested that Trump might be congnitively impaired, which is legitimate concern since Donald is 78 and would be 83 if he was elected and served a second term in office.
“Unlike Republicans who in Trump’s personality cult will take a look at Donald Trump and say he’s perfectly fine even though he seemed unable to tell the difference between Haley and Pelosi, even though he’s rambling about electrocuting sharks and Hannibal Lecter … we don’t have that kind of warped reality on our side.”

Donald Trump lies about everything. Are we supposed to believe he has suddenly had a change of heart and is telling us the truth? He doesn’t have a speck of truth in him and deserves to lose in a landslide.
According to Fox News contributor Charles Gasparino, American voters should be terrified by the prospect of President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race for the White House. Why? Because, Gasparino alleges in an article he wrote for the New York Post, Biden’s departure would clear the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to potentially be president of the United States.
Why is Gasparino so apoplectic about Harris as U.S. head of state? Well, because she’s a black woman, of course.
In his op-ed, Gasparino writes, “There is a raging debate in corporate America on the future of DEI, aka Diversity Equity and Inclusion, because it is literally destroying businesses that go there.”
“And yet the American public may soon be subjected to DEI writ large in the next president of the United States, if Kamala Harris finds her way to the top of the Democratic ticket while Joe Biden wilts away as the party’s presidential nominee after his horrific debate performance.”
“Yes, maybe the most irrepressibly fatuous politician in America may become the leader of the free world because the Democratic Party is unable to break its DEI stranglehold.”
Wouldn’t Harris be the logical choice to replace Biden if he were to step aside? After all, she’s been his vice president for four years and was part of the team that helped implement the Biden agenda. She’s also sharp as a whip, a brilliant debater, and has never lost an election.
Gasparinio’s column set off a firestorm of negative reactions on social media, where many commenters noted that he should have just called her the N-word and embraced his blatant racism.
DEI is a dog whistle for another word….

Just call her the N Word and get it over with.

But don't call Republicans racists. It hurts their feelings.

More proof that “DEI” as a perjorative has nothing to do with actual qualifications and is just a way for people to be racist
Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo chastized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for “creating chaos” in Congress when Greene appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures,” suggesting that she had no actual plan for how to oust Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA).
Bartiromo began by asking Greene, “You’re getting criticized on the left, on the right, in the media … a lot of people are criticizing you. And the reason that they are is because they’re saying that you’re creating drama during this election year. How is this leading to reelecting President Trump? How is this leading to the American people believing that the Republicans can govern? People are saying, ‘Look, she’s creating chaos. She’s making the entire party look like it’s disrupted.’ Your reaction and response to those criticisms?”
“Those that are calling this drama are the very people that are responsible for the drama that the American people are having to live through every single day,” Greene replied. “Those on the left, those on the right, the uniparty that’s in control of our government are the ones that have inflicted the American people with nearly $35 trillion in debt, ripped our border wide open.”
Greene said those criticizing her weren’t actually Americans.
“Yeah, those that are calling this drama are the very people that are responsible for the drama that the American people are having to live through every single day. Speaker Johnson refuses to use his power as Speaker of the House to do any type of negotiating to secure the southern border and stop the madness in our country.”
“The people criticizing me are not the American people,” she added. “The American people agree with me, and I’ve talked to them, and I’ve seen it all over. They are outraged.”
That led Bartiromo to inquire of Greene, “OK Congresswoman, you wanted Mike Johnson out,” Bartiromo said. “What is your alternative plan?”
“Our plan is this: We have to give the American people a reason to trust us and fight for us. The American people are supporting President Trump to be the next President of the United States because they’ve seen him in action. He fought against the Democrat agenda. He put America first. They desperately want him to lead this country again because they trust him and they know he will do that.
“Mike Johnson has betrayed America. He’s betrayed Republican voters. Under his leadership, he’s passed the Democrat agenda, passed the Biden administration’s policies, and fully funded them. We’re going to fight in Congress to do everything we can to stop this type of uniparty leadership. Mike Johnson’s speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated.”
The Fox host pushed back at Greene.
“With all due respect, you didn’t give me a plan for the speaker’s role,” Bartiromo said. “And again, does this mean you are going to file that motion at some point?”
Greene: “It’s coming, regardless of what Mike Johnson decides to do. And we have three more Republicans joining us for the special elections coming up very soon. So people need to know this can happen.”
Like all of the extreme right-wing bomb-throwers in Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene has no actual ideas, no plans, and no understanding of how to govern. She just wants to promote herself and kiss Trump’s fat ass every chance she gets. She’s a cancer on the Congress and this country.
Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo suggested this morning that the late-night accident that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore may be linked to what’s transpiring at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Speaking with Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott, Bartiromo remarked, “Let me also get your take in terms of what’s going on in world affairs. The White House has issued a statement on [the bridge collapse], saying there’s no indication of nefarious intent in the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge … You’ve been talking a lot about the potential for wrongdoing or the potential for foul play given the wide-open border … Why have the Republicans had such a hard time securing this border?”

What in the actual f*ck is she talking about? There is absolutely NOTHING about the accident that would suggest any connection to the border or immigration, as the Baltimore Sun notes when it comes to the investigation.
In the middle of the night, a massive, driftless container ship traveling 9 mph issued a “mayday” as it traversed toward the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge. The ship had departed the Port of Baltimore only 30 minutes prior, but as it tried to navigate the channel, it lost power before colliding with a support column, causing a din that could be heard ashore and immediately toppling the essential mid-Atlantic thoroughfare into the frigid waters below.
Twitter users were outraged by Bartiromo’s comments.
Let us guess. The captain of the cargo ship is an illegal immigrant?
Ah, yes, because clearly, every mishap in the world must somehow be the fault of immigrants, right? The mental gymnastics required to make that connection are truly Olympic-level. Bravo, Maria Bartiromo, for once again proving that reality and rationality are just too mainstream…

So how does a terrible ship accident have ANYTHING to do with the border in Texas?
— Agent Joe McIncognito ✡🌊🏒🦠🇺🇦🍆 (@JoeMcJoe11) March 26, 2024
So the fact we’ve had millions of cargo ships from hundreds of countries come into our ports for decades & one of them just happens to crash into a bridge is Biden’s fault bc the GOP decided to obey Trump & tank the border bill? Doesn’t that circle actually point back to them?
— Don't call me Shirley 🌻😳🤦♀️ (@sftballwife) March 26, 2024
Sooo we cannot politicize school shootings, but bridge catastrophes are fair game?
Because, somehow, if something bad happens, it has to be Biden’s fault… Of course, any disaster that happened when their Great Leader was President was Obama’s fault. If he gets back in again, any disaster will be Biden’s fault. 🙄
Ahh yes, let's blame immigrants our of nowhere & not an industry constantly pushing the bounds of what is allowable & no government regulation saying, "hey, maybe this giant ship stacked to the gills shouldn't be gingerly going under a bridge that wasn't designed for that.
President Joe Biden had an epic comeback to a question from Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy during a contentious press conference on Thursday, and video of the exchange has gone viral on social media.
Referencing a report from Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, Doocy asked the president, “How bad is your memory and can you continue as president?”
Biden proceeded to take Doocy’s question and smack it out of the briefing room.
“My memory is so bad that I let you speak,” Biden responded.
Doocy: “How bad is your memory and can you continue as President?”
— Andrew—Author of America Rises On Substack—Wortman (@AmoneyResists) February 9, 2024
Doocy then asked, “Something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because, in his description, you are a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
The president replied, “I’m well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man, and I know what the hell I’m doing. I’ve been president, and I put this country back on its feet. I don’t need his recommendation.”
Commenters on Twitter/X, stood and cheered for Biden.
