Trump revokes protections. Trump revokes protections for former Secretary of State Pompeo and top aide threatened by Iran excerpt: The official, who requested anonymity to discuss the private briefing, said Trump administration officials are “well aware” of the “active threats” against the former government officials and called the move “highly irresponsible.”
Trump revokes protections for Pompeo, who was Trump's Secretary of State during his first term. Trump revokes protections for former Secretary of State Pompeo and top aide threatened by Iran excerpt: "Trump had soured on Pompeo some months ago, saying publicly that he would play no role in his new administration. In a social media post this week, he fired Hook from his presidentially appointed position on the board of the Wilson Center, a think tank. Asked about the decision to end Pompeo and Hook’s security, Trump replied to reporters: “Do you want to have a large detail of people guarding people for the rest of their lives? I mean, there’s risks to everything.” That language was similar to the explanation he gave when asked about Bolton's security detail."
Trump's release of assassination docs opens window into nation's most debated mysteries excerpt: "The presidential candidate’s son Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, has long maintained that Sirhan didn’t even shoot his father. The Trump cabinet pick believes Sirhan missed and that instead his dad was shot by a man linked to the CIA."
And we are off again! This thread may become the longest in history... but actually I am hoping Trump's residency in the WH is not the longest in history. Who knows where the wheel of fortune will spin to next? The Hanged Man... or the Devil... or the Joker.
All else being the same, food prices can be expected to increase as a result of Trump sending teams to raid food production places, such as farms and packing plants, looking for undocumented workers. It's expected to scare away workers in low-paying jobs, the jobs that Trump's supporters think are so great and being stolen from Americans. https://fox59.com/news/national-world/ice-agents-raid-nj-seafood-store-detain-us-military-veteran/
MS is one of 12 states that has a total or near total ban on abortion which took effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with the help of Trump putting three justices on the court. The overturning has emboldened lawmakers to propose legislation even more fringe that what has already been proposed and enacted that takes away rights from women. Mississippi state lawmaker introduces ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act’ with fines for masturbation by: Filip Timotija, The Hill Posted: Jan 24, 2025 / 10:33 AM EST Updated: Jan 24, 2025 / 10:33 AM EST https://fox59.com/news/national-wor...-at-erection-act-with-fines-for-masturbation/ excerpt: "The bill, dubbed the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act,” was introduced by state Sen. Bradford Blackmon on Monday. For those convicted of violating the law, financial penalties will be imposed and will gradually increase. The first penalty would be $1,000, the second one would be $5,000 and then $10,000 for third or subsequent offenses."
While this is absolutely insane, it's about time some of the responsibility of making babies falls on men. Let's see how they like having their bodies policed by a conservative government that is supposedly all about maximum individual liberty and minimal government interference. In other words, let Mississippi get exactly what they voted for.
Trump and his following are emboldened and show no inhibition about taking away rights of women and now men related to women. They revoke individual rights on a perverted 'equal rights' revocation basis. Trump was wishy-washy during the 2024 campaign about abortion. His pardoning of 23 anti-abortion protesters now that he's in office again shows his true intent.

Mississippi bill aims to regulate men's reproductive choices excerpt: “All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation,” Blackmon said in a statement to WLBT News.
A convoluted statement by Blackmon. Blackmon proudly says that he wants the GOP to take away right of men so that they can experience how bad it feels when the GOP does it to women.
