On Wednesday, the department announced that Musk would join defense technology company CEO Palmer Luckey—who is also a GOP megadonor—and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in leading “Project Meridian.” The department described the… Source Powered by WPeMatico
The Trump administration has been insisting to the courts—and everyone else—that the only way the Kennedy Center can stay open is if President Donald Trump’s name can be slapped on it, because those people who raced to donate because Trump’s name was on it would take their money back if Trump’s name isn’t on it.

The math is quite simple. In a 50-50 country, it doesn’t take a massive political realignment to produce a decisive majority.

Huckabee Sanders, who previously served as President Donald Trump’s press secretary, released the ad on Monday. It depicts a young white man lazily playing video games as Huckabee Sanders… Source Powered by WPeMatico

Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her husband, Bryon Noem, filed for divorce in South Dakota on Tuesday, tying a pretty bow on a long-winded saga that was … quite captivating.
