While he's still waiting for Mexico to agree to pay for his "big, beautiful" border wall, President Donald Trump is asking for $1.6 billion for, as Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney put it, the barrier's "bricks and mortar." An unnamed source told CNN that the money requested in the newly released 2018 budget proposal would cover just a few dozen miles of wall. The proposed wall spending represents a significant portion of the more than $4.5 billion the White House is requesting for immigration enforcement and a border protection package whose wish list ranges from communications equipment and surveillance technology to aircraft and weapons.

    Pete Hegseth did try to bring this disgusting moment back to reality after Rachel Campos-Duffy made a hammer joke about Paul Pelosi, the former Speaker's husband, who was the victim of a violent home invasion. On any other network, though, that would be worth being fired. But alas, this is the Fox News network where it's OK if a Democrat is attacked.

    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 09:00 AM

    Trump continues to find the very worst people who want to sell their souls to shill for him during his cult rallies. This week he held a rally in Wisconsin in between court appearances and nap-time in Manhattan, and helped a Wisconsin restaurant owner spew this nonsense: On Wednesday, vegan restaurant owner Shana Gray joined former President Donald Trump on stage for his rally in Waukesha, Wis., where they claimed that her restaurant, which opened in 2023, did better when Trump was in office. FIfteen minutes into Trump’s 78-minute rally, he explained that Gray’s business has been struggling under Joe Biden’s administration and that she was “doing better” during the Trump years. “Shana says her business is being brutalized by the soaring cost of food,” Trump said on stage.
