Ol McDonald had a farm.....
In December, Trump announced billion in aid for farmers, through the U.S. Dept of Agriculture's Farmer Bridge Assistance Program. He said the funding comes from the "hundreds of billions of dollars" the gov't has collected from his tariffs.

Tesla suffers major court loss as judge upholds $243 million penalty in fatal crash

Travis Gettys February 20, 2026 11:19AM ET
A federal judge rejected Tesla's attempt to overturn a $243 million jury verdict over a fatal Autopilot crash.
U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom in Miami upheld the August 2025 verdict finding Elon Musk's electric vehicle maker liable for the crash that killed 22-year-old Naibel Benavides Leon and severely injured her boyfriend Dillon Angulo, finding the evidence “more than supported” the verdict, reported Elektrek.
"[The decision deals] a significant blow to the automaker’s legal strategy as it faces a growing wave of lawsuits tied to its driver-assistance technology," the website reported. "The ruling, made public on Friday, means Tesla’s last hope to avoid paying the massive judgment at the trial court level has been exhausted."............................

I think Trump bought a Telsa on this day--or it was was gifted by Musk.

Ohio mayor arrested on voyeurism charges after allegedly sniffing girl's underwear

Claims against Wesley Dingus came from teen who had been staying at his residence and hid camera in bedroom
Marina Dunbar Fri 20 Feb 2026 17.12 EST
.......................
According to investigators, the teen had hidden a small camera in a bedroom in the home. On 13 January, she reportedly received multiple motion alerts indicating recordings had been captured. Deputies say the footage showed Dingus smelling at least four pairs of her underwear “for several seconds” and also “touching his groin area over his clothes”.
Richland county children’s services passed the report along to law enforcement the same day the alleged incident occurred, and a deputy later interviewed the girl at her school.
A deputy later contacted Dingus and arranged a meeting, but the conversation did not happen after his attorney advised canceling it, local news outlet WKYC reported. Authorities arrested Dingus nearly a month later, an action that took place on 13 February.
Dingus appeared in court on Thursday and pleaded not guilty. He was released after posting 10% of a $10,000 bond. Judge Michael Kemerer required him to wear a GPS monitor and barred him from contacting the accuser...............

BREAKING: ANOTHER ONE! Republican mayor Wesley Dingus gets arrested sniffing teen girls’ panties!
Ah, the smell of shame. Butler, Ohio’s Mayor Wesley Dingus (yes, that’s his real name), a member of the “traditional values” Republican Party, faces two counts of voyeurism after a teenage relative in his care caught him on hidden camera.
The girl, suspicious of his creepy behavior, set up a video camera in her bedroom while she was living under his care. The footage allegedly shows Dingus entering her room twice in January 2026: picking up her worn underwear, smelling it for several seconds, and touching his groin area over his clothes.
He pleaded not guilty Thursday in Mansfield Municipal Court; bond was set at $10,000.
And this isn’t the mayor’s first brush with the law. He’s already out on bond for felony charges from July 2025, for allegedly running over a man wanted for parole violation.
Yet the same guy who lectures on morality and “protecting children” was allegedly invading a minor’s privacy for sexual gratification.
MAGA loves to scream about “family values” and “protecting kids,” but when one of their small-town mayors gets caught red-handed sniffing a teen’s underwear, the outrage is crickets from the usual crowd.
Dingus ran on conservative principles, won in 2022, and now stands exposed as a perv who allegedly preyed on a vulnerable girl in his own home. This is the real face of the “moral majority” crowd: preaching purity while practicing perversion.
If this kind of disgusting hypocrisy from a MAGA mayor makes you furious, like and share to call it out. The party of “family values” strikes again.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV humiliates fake Catholic J.D. Vance after he flew all the way to Rome to invite him to America's

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV humiliates fake Catholic J.D. Vance after he flew all the way to Rome to invite him to America’s 250th anniversary by bluntly rejecting the offer.
The public embarrassments never end with this oaf...
Instead of traveling to the States, Leo will spend July 4th on the Italian island of Lampedusa, a major entry point for migrants entering into Europe from Africa. Rather than engage in Trump's jingoistic celebration of American military might, the pope is calling attention to the very same class of people that this White House spends much of its time demonizing.
The rebuke of the invite is noteworthy because Vance personally invited the pope to the 250th celebration during his visit to Rome last year. This marks yet another instance of Leo snubbing the Trump administration, following soon after he rejected an invitation to join Trump's corrupt "Board of Peace."
Vance likes to make a big show of being a Catholic convert, but everything he does is profoundly out of step with Catholic morality. He's a key member of a regime that's brutalizing migrants on a daily basis and Pope Leo has made defending migrants a cornerstone of his papacy.
Trump has vowed that this July 4th will be "the most spectacular birthday party the world has ever seen" but judging by the deeply embarrassing failure that was his big military parade, our expectations are low. Pope Leo ain't missing much!
Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of Pope Leo!

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker Sends Trump an Invoice for $8.6 Billion in Tariff Refunds

Democrats are praising the Supreme Court’s ruling against President Trump’s tariffs, and some are trying to cash in. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent a letter—and invoice—to the White House on Friday demanding $8.6 billion be refunded to his state’s 5.1 million households, roughly $1,700 each.
“Your tariff taxes wreaked havoc on farmers, enraged our allies, and sent grocery prices through the roof,” wrote Pritzker, a possible 2028 presidential candidate and frequent Trump critic. “This letter and the attached invoice stand as an official notice that compensation is owed to the people of Illinois, and if you do not comply we will pursue further action.”

Governor Newsom calls for immediate tariff refund checks following Supreme Court ruling against Trump
What you need to know: The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariffs. Governor Newsom is now calling on Trump to refund Americans their money immediately — with interest.
SAN FRANCISCO – Governor Gavin Newsom today called on the Trump Administration to immediately issue refund checks — with interest — to American families and businesses after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs were illegal.
“Time to pay the piper, Donald. These tariffs were nothing more than an illegal cash grab that drove up prices and hurt working families, so you could wreck longstanding alliances and extort them. Every dollar unlawfully taken must be refunded immediately — with interest. Cough up!”
The Court’s 6-3 decision confirmed what Governor Newsom argued from the beginning in California’s lawsuit: President Trump lacked the authority to impose sweeping tariffs under emergency powers. The illegal tariffs, a tax, collected more than $130 billion from importers, costs that were passed on to consumers through higher prices on everyday goods. A recent Yale report found that the tariffs led to the average family losing $1,751 dollars last year...................

Democratic candidate Shawn Harris, a retired brigadier general who earned over 30% of the vote against Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2024, says he now wears a bulletproof vest due to threats as he runs again for Georgia’s 14th congressional district amid a crowded Republican field.
ROME, Ga. — When former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene sat in front of the camera and announced she was resigning in January, she said threats of violence against herself and her children had gone on long enough.
She blamed the escalation on the president's remarks, including calling her Marjorie "Traitor" Greene..............
More than a dozen candidates are running to replace her in Georgia's 14th congressional district, including one Democrat who knows the ropes.
.............................
"Marjorie Taylor Greene was dealing with threats. I'm already dealing with the threats right now," Harris told USA Today in an interview on Thursday, ahead of the president's visit to Rome, Georgia.
"We get those threats because people know that we got the potential to win this thing," Harris said. "We will not let people tell us to stop or scare us or anything. What I say to everybody, because they know I have to wear it now, is courage is contagious. As you see me come out and do the things that I do, only thing I need you to do is go and vote.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
