NCAA and the nation’s five biggest conferences have agreed to pay nearly $2.8 billion to settle a host of antitrust claims,a monumental decision that sets the stage for a groundbreaking revenue-sharing model that could start directing millions of dollars directly to athletes as soon as the 2025 fall semester.

The "Trump Media & Technology Group Corp." isn't just another way to separate Trump cultists and meme-stock speculators from their money.

It's an unprecedented opportunity for the criminal-in-chief, the people in his orbit, and the people who want him in their debt to engage in pure corruption.

“In a surprise move, an #Illinois judge has removed former President Donald #Trump from the state’s ballot based on the #14thAmendment’s so-called “insurrectionist ban.”

He’ll have time to appeal.

In her latest unhinged rant, Nikki Haley now says "Texas can secede if that's what it's voters want."

Okay, let's do the math on that.

If Texas secedes:
•Texas loses $68.2B in Federal aid
•GOP loses 2 US Senate seats, Dems lose 0
•GOP loses 27 US House seats, Dems lose 11
•Dems win permanent control of US House, US Senate, & White House

MAGAs never think these things through, do they? They don't care about the Constitution or national unity—only uninhibited power.

Vote GOP Out Permanently.
