”America’s 250th birthday party is starting to look like one big money-laundering scheme, with your tax dollars funding PragerU propaganda trucks and our favorite foreign agent, Brad Parscale.
A decade ago, Congress set aside $150 million for America’s 250th and created a bipartisan commission to run it.
That commission has received just $25 million and is now begging for more. The rest was steered to “Freedom 250,” a shell LLC Trump stood up in 2025 and hid inside a National Park Service charity. It has pulled in around $80 million.
RIGHT NOW in 1916, British and French troops go 'over the top' at the Somme. An estimated 60,000 are wounded or killed within the first 24 hours of the four-and-a-half-month offensive. pic.twitter.com/udfJUe4qcC

🚨 WOW! Elon Musk just resurfaced this video of Chuck Schumer in 1996 saying that "the NUMBER ONE REASON" migrants come to America is to commit fraud and steal taxpayer dollars
"They can get benefits against the law because of FRAUD!"
a) Labour Wants asylum seekers to repay £10,000—but few are likely to pay. Oxford’s Migration Observatory expects it to have only a limited impact.
b) Citizen Vigilante—A Chronicle of the Near Future. This film isn’t about fiction or fantasy but about what we’re experiencing in Europe right now.
c) Europe’s Ideological War on Air Conditioning Takes an Increasingly Deadly Toll. Europe’s ideological hostility towards air conditioning has become a global talking point after more than 1,300 excess deaths were linked to the heatwave sweeping the continent.
d) Volkswagen as a symptom of Europe’s Industrial decline. As Germany is losing its automotive edge, France and Italy are facing overcapacity, Spain is exposed by its role as a production platform, and China is advancing inside Europe’s own market.
