    Article from June 2025.

    Trump's long list of sanctuary cities later disappeared from the DHS website.

    It looks like the Trump administration did an AI search for any sign of the word 'sanctuary' and immediately made a list of what it thought were immigrant sanctuary cities.

    One of the locales used the word 'sanctuary' to describe the right to own a gun. It ended up on Trump's hit list of sanctuary cities.


    https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/202...error-filled-list-of-immigration-sanctuaries/

    excerpt:

    One possible explanation: The county board passed a resolution in 2021 declaring Shawano a “Second Amendment Sanctuary County” as a sign of “vigorous support of the peoples’ Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.”

    The list disappeared from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security website in a matter of days, after the National Sheriffs’ Association complained that many counties were erroneously included.

    “It was quite the debacle,” said sheriffs’ association spokesperson Patrick Royal. “We are working with the administration to resolve as much as we can.”

    ‘A classic authoritarian tactic’: outrage over Trump’s pardons for friends and allies

    excerpt:

    "Donald Trump’s unprecedented pardoning spree for political and business friends since returning to the White House has prompted warnings from ex-prosecutors and legal scholars of “corrupt” pay-to-play schemes, conflicts of interest and blatant partisanship.

    It has included hundreds of Maga allies, a cryptocurrency mogul with ties to a Trump family crypto firm, disgraced politicians, and others who could yield political and financial benefits.

    Trump’s political and business driven pardons spurred strong rebukes from his first day in office, when he pardoned or commuted sentences for some 1,500 Maga allies who attacked the Capitol on January 6 and tried to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election."

    Trump goes down in history as the only domestic mob force (he and his rioters) to nefariously commandeer most of the Capitol and significantly injure the property and people trying to protect it.


    Burning of Washington - Wikipedia

    excerpt:

    "The Burning of Washington, also known as the Capture of Washington, was a successful British amphibious attack conducted by Rear Admiral George Cockburn during Admiral John Warren's Chesapeake campaign. It was the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power had captured and occupied a United States capital. Following the defeat of American forces at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814, a British army led by Major-General Robert Ross marched on Washington, D.C. That evening, British soldiers and sailors set fire to multiple public buildings, including the Presidential Mansion, United States Capitol, and Washington Navy Yard.[5][permanent dead link]

    The attack was in part a retaliation for prior American actions in British-held Upper Canada, in which U.S. forces had burned and looted York the previous year and had then burned large portions of Port Dover.[6] Less than four days after the attack began, a heavy thunderstorm, possibly a hurricane and a tornado, extinguished the fires and caused further destruction. The British occupation of Washington, D.C. lasted for roughly 26 hours.[7] "

    Pulte presented Trump with a big poster showing Trump's face along with FDR and a Trump 50-year mortgage idea.

    50 is bigger than FDR's 30, so Trump liked it.


    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...getting-panned-allies-blame-this-man-00645654

    excerpt:

    "On Saturday evening, Pulte arrived at President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach Golf Club with a roughly 3-by-5 posterboard in hand. A graphic of former President Franklin Roosevelt appeared below “30-year mortgage” and one of Trump below “50-year mortgage.” The headline was “Great American Presidents.”

    Roughly 10 minutes later, Trump posted the image to Truth Social, according to one of the people familiar, who was with the president at the time.

    Almost immediately, aides were fielding angry phone calls from those who thought the idea – which would endorse a 50 year payback period for a mortgage – was both bad politics and bad policy, a move that could raise housing costs in the long run, the person said."

    Trump proposes $2,000 dividend funded by tariffs. Here's what experts say about the plan.

    excerpt:

    "Paying $2,000 to about 150 million adults earning $100,000 or less would require roughly $300 billion in revenue, according to Erica York, vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation, in a post on X.

    "Only problem, new tariffs have raised $120 billion so far," she said.

    For the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, the federal government raised $195 billion in customs duties, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury."

    Trump took $200 billion away from people with his tariffs.

    He says he will give everyone who isn't rich a $2,000 in tariff refund.

    About 150 million Americans make below $100,000, which could be considered not rich.

    That's about $300 billion of tariff refund. It's $100 billion more than the tariff revenue.

    It's robbing Peter to pay back Peter and promising to pay back 50% more to Peter than what was robbed from him. Plus Trump says he is paying off the national debt with the tariff money.

    His $2,000 refund proposal means he would have to give all the tariff money back to the American people, which, in his recent argument to the Supreme Court, he said would wreck the U.S. economy.

    ‘A classic authoritarian tactic’: outrage over Trump’s pardons for friends and allies

    excerpt:

    Other legal experts see Trump’s pardon abuses as akin to a “form of bribery”.

    “The pardon process as a method for granting executive grace for deserving criminal defendants has been replaced by a pay-to-play system that is a thinly disguised form of bribery,” said former justice department inspector general Michael Bromwich.

    “Pardons are now conferred not on people who acknowledge their guilt and deserve a break, but instead on those who have connections and plenty of money.”

    Don't have blind faith in an AI search result.

    Similarly, don't have blind faith in GPS, turn onto train tracks, and be hit by a train.

    Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump - POLITICO

    excerpt:

    Nearly a month before President Donald Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russia’s top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me.

    “I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote in a June 24, 2018, email to Thorbjorn Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway who was leading the Council of Europe at the time of the exchange. Lavrov was an apparent reference to Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s longtime foreign minister.
