The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk. This comes hot on the heels of their groundbreaking Twitter Space interview, a conversation that garnered global attention and shattered records with nearly 1 billion combined views of the conversation and subsequent discussion by other accounts. The interview, which took place on Monday night, saw Trump and Musk exchange ideas on a range of topics, in what many have dubbed a historic dialogue between two of the most influential figures of our time. However, not everyone was thrilled with the outcome of this conversation. The UAW,

There is a BIG difference between rank and file, actual "Auto Workers", as opposed to the many "New" unionized teachers aids, daycare, nursing home workers, grocery and restaurant/coffee shop members recently organized under the UAW umbrella. Actual auto workers support Trump by a plurality in not an outright majority, and it i because of economic issues, freedom issues, second amendment issues, education issues, and TRUCK/SUV ownership issues, crime issues, inflation issues, border issues, parental rights issues, Tax issues, Same with the Teamsters, carpenters, pipefitters, ...their actual membership voted at least 40% for Trump, their "Leadership" donated ALL of their money to the Dems. Inflation alone has hit their retirement investment funds verrrry hard, failed "Green" ponzi schemes even harder. (I am actually in the Midwest Carpenters Union in an Auto manufacturing heavy area...there are MORE Trump stickers on hardhats, lunchpails and truck bumpers than for any dem since the 1st obama run)

Alleging? The only reason that most union members get that way is through intimidation or being useless workers who couldn't get and retain a job any other way. Who are they trying to kid? How many times have they called people "scabs" over the years?

Tim Walz has been accused of lying about his military rank by his National Guard successor for 'political gain,' private letters have revealed. Walz, who is currently serving as the Governor of Minnesota, joined the National Guard after high school and served 24 years in the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, rising to the rank of command sergeant major. The now 60-year-old, who is Kamala Harris's recently-announced running mate, retired in 2005 - months after being warned that the battalion would be deployed to Iraq.

In yet another example of the mainstream media’s obsession with irrelevant distractions, the Democrats and far-left outlets have latched onto the mispronunciation of Kamala Harris’s name as if it were a national crisis. Instead of focusing on the critical issues facing the American people, the media elites have once again shown their priorities are skewed beyond repair. It can be recalled that MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski has claimed that Republicans and right-wing media have initiated a “hate campaign” against Vice President Kamala Harris. “I’ve heard from inside Republican circles and right-wing media that the hate campaign against Kamala Harris

In 1998, Elon Musk was at Zip2, his startup, which helped put newspapers across the country—including the New York Times—on the Internet. Then, the nascent Internet was a sliver of what it is today, but unsurprisingly, Musk was on the bleeding edge of it—and I conducted an interview with him then. On Monday, as I listened to Musk’s conversation with Trump, an insight into how two brilliant, innovative, and patriotic men view America, I was struck by how the man I interviewed in 1998 was already set to become the person contributing to American liberty now.

In the picture, Crooks can be seen holding up his cell phone - as if chatting to someone on a call.

Pelosi pounded the table angrily in an interview with reporters while “dispensing wisdom that sounds like a mix of a crime boss and local party activist,” The Washington Post reported. Following the assassination attempt on Trump, President Joe Biden gave an Oval Office address that said that political rhetoric has a role in contributing to violence. “We can’t allow this violence to be normalized,” Biden said. “The political rhetoric in this country
