    This is a photo from 1945 of liberated Jewish concentration camp survivors at Dachau. Are some of them making the "Nazi salute", as well?

    A CNN poll was conducted on Mar 5, 2025, regarding Musk, and the results show that about 53% of Americans said they have an "unfavorable opinion" of him, compared with 35% who have a positive view and 9% offering no opinion (and 2% saying they have "never heard" of Musk). The poll results...

    No, not in the least, but those with TDS will make claims that have no basis. Panama and Greenland are very important areas in which China is very interested. It is in their best interest to align themselves with the United States as business partners or more. In 1969, Canada ratified the...

    OK, he got more votes than Kamala Harris. I should have put it that way, knowing that there are people who can't stand the fact that he won. If she had run an intelligent campaign and addressed the people that she ignored, she could have beaten him. It serves the Democrats right for what they...

    Musk has done nothing wrong - he's simply an advisor to the government. Those who are caught for vandalizing, or worse, against his interests, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The majority of voters chose the president, but there are people who do not believe in the rules...

    The United States could do so much for Greenland that I think they'd be foolish not to at least listen to what Trump has in mind. The U.S. owns several territories, and they're not seeking to leave.

    Yes, it was four years ago. The recent market panic is mostly about Trump's policies, and investors are nervous and wary. This may last for a while, but the fundamental economy is fine, and the markets will recover better than ever. The Biden administration was a disaster. We have no idea who...

    The Panama Canal had been taken over by billionaires associated with Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China. This is unacceptable.

    Zelenskyy's statements indicate that this war will be going on indefinitely. The United States has given them enough, and unlike Europe, our contributions were not loans from interest on seized Russian assets.

    NATO has been corrupted and is controlled by those who want to dismantle and conquer Russia by using Ukraine, which is probably the most corrupt nation in Europe, for that purpose. Zelenskyy is only a figurehead who follows orders from above and is well-paid for it. Trump and his circle know...

    Zelenskyy just blew the chance of a deal with the United States by attacking the administration and making demands. He does not know who he's dealing with. He shows no respect or appreciation for our help. We don't have to give them anything. As Trump said, he has no cards and is in no position...

    Debbie Harry was from New Jersey. I am aware that there is a substantial cultural lag concerning Northern Europe, but Godwin's Law is from the 1990's. I think that if Trump is a Nazi, he's the first one to have a daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren who are Jews. How many people have you...

    Best be careful, your job at the IRS is in jeopardy; you'll have to move closer. Germany had a good day yesterday; they apparently have had enough of dangerous leftist nonsense.

    Those idiots in the year-old video must be having a meltdown, now that he is the president again. Anybody who has owned hundreds of businesses is bound to have some failures.

    Most Americans, including myself, were not aware that the aid given by the EU to Ukraine were loans, not grants, which have to be paid back. Not only that, but the loans came from the interest of seized Russian assets in Europe, not money from the European countries. We do not know what is going...

    Zelenskyy can now pay the United States back for our help and ensure Ukraine's security by signing a deal with Trump to give the United States a percentage of Ukraine's minerals and other valuable natural resources.

    If Zelenskyy does not want Trump to help stop the war, he can say so. Trump is an expert negotiator and strategist, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks. Zelenskyy is a corrupt, power-hungry war monger. Biden did nothing but throw money at Zelenskyy and Kamala had no plans to...

    Trump had some things to say, this morning, about Zelenskyy, Ukraine, and peace negotiations. I will outline some of his key points. Former comedian Zelenskyy got the United States to spend 350 billion dollars on a war that could not be won, should never have begun, and can not be settled...

    "Disgusting"? That's a laugh. Why did Zelenskyy cancel the election in 2024, and declare martial law? This war has been going on for three years, and he does not want to do anything to end it. A poll (Jan 2025) shows that Ukrainians' trust in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dropped from 77% in...

    Anybody who can rise to the position of POTUS should have a higher-than-average self-image. Trump's personality, and his taste in art, music, etc., are not important to me - nor is his ego. He is doing things that he said he would, or at least is trying to, and that's all that counts. It would...

    Ukraine itself has trillions of dollars worth of rare earth natural resources. Trump said that the United States should be paid 500 billion, "So, we don't feel stupid." If Ukraine uses some of its natural resources to pay the United States, these assets will be permanently out of Russia's...

    We are winning. Mexico has caved and the tariffs are paused for a month, Trudeau is meeting with Trump later today, and Panama is ending Chinese control of the canal, the latter of which was outside of our agreement with Panama.
