Ted Cruz just handed Democrats a gift, standing in front of a room full of billionaires, he admitted on camera that Trump Accounts are a backdoor scheme to dismantle Social Security.

At the Milken Institute conference in Beverly Hills this week, Cruz called Trump Accounts, the baby savings accounts created under last year's GOP budget law, "Social Security personal accounts," then added: "Here's the dirty little secret: Trump accounts are Social Security personal accounts."

This wasn't a slip.

Cruz spelled out the endgame: once kids grow up with these accounts, Republicans pitch parents on diverting their payroll taxes, the money that funds YOUR current Social Security into private Wall Street investment accounts instead.

His prediction: within five years, that becomes a "really compelling constituency."

Cruz isn't the first to brag about it. At a Breitbart forum last summer, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the accounts as "a back door for privatizing Social Security."

And while Republicans were telling the public these were just cute little baby bonds, Axios reports the idea of replacing or augmenting Social Security with Trump Accounts has been discussed behind closed doors with lawmakers for some time, they just didn't want to "touch the third rail" publicly.

Now they're not bothering to hide it.

The strategy is two-pronged: build up Trump Accounts with one hand, and gut the Social Security Administration with the other, so when the agency collapses under DOGE cuts, they can point at the wreckage and say "look how broken it is."

Polling shows just 15% of Americans support privatizing Social Security. The other 85% better start paying attention.

They've been plotting this for 50 years. Cruz just told you exactly how they plan to finally pull it off.

Assuming his old age doesn't take its final toll on him, Donald Trump is going to run for a 3rd time in 2028 despite the Constitution and somehow miraculously win by a major landslide. Between his buddy Scott Leiendecker buying Dominion Voting Systems in October 2025 and now this, they're going to blatantly rig the election so obviously and for some reason no one is going to stop them.

Pay attention to the shifts in language. Notice that civil rights is now being called DEI and framed as racist against white people. The women’s rights movement is boiled down to feminism and framed as oppressive to men. They have started calling freedom of religion “religious liberty” so that they can act like Christian nationalism is somehow a victim. Social welfare programs are being called “entitlements”. A fetus is being called “an unborn child”. Undocumented immigrants, non-citizens, and asylum seekers are all being referred to as “illegals”. Peaceful protesters are “domestic terrorists“. And just so everyone knows exactly who they’re dealing with… the Department of Defense is now known as the “Department of War”.

It’s the dictators dance. The narcissist shuffle. Always shifting the language. Always playing with the narrative. Always avoiding accountability. Always blaming someone else. Always framing themselves as the victim. Usually of a minority group they are actively working to harm. People that want nothing more than to be left alone.

copied from Facebook, concerning the U.S. Correspondents Dinner "gunman" incident

"Let’s start with the facts, because the facts matter and they are not what the Trump regime has been selling you all morning.

"Cole Allen, a 31-year-old from Torrance, California, allegedly approached a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night. He was armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and knives. He did not get through. He was stopped at the perimeter.

"Here is the critical detail that is getting lost in all the noise: the incident happened on a floor above where the dinner was actually taking place. Not in the room. Not near the room. Up a flight of stairs, past multiple security layers, in a part of the hotel that was open to the general public because the Secret Service only secured the specific areas of the WHCA event — not the entire building. Law enforcement officials confirmed this. The suspect never breached the secured zone. The president, vice president, cabinet officials, and guests were nowhere close to this.

"That is not a minor footnote. That is a major part of this story.

"And yet, within thirty minutes of the incident, Donald Trump was at a podium holding a press conference, not to reassure the public, not to thank law enforcement, but to demand his golden ballroom. He and his officials were all smiles. Karoline Leavitt had a grin on her face. Pete Hegseth was photographed beaming. Alina Habba posted on Instagram that she “slayed on the look” with a photo of herself from the event, captioned “10/10.” These are the people who want you to believe this was a harrowing, historic moment of danger.

"And then there was Dan Scavino. As guests were still processing what had just happened, Scavino decided the moment called for a rousing “USA! USA!” chant. It did not land. The response from the room was total silence. Not even Trump’s own allies joined in. The only thing audible, per footage reviewed from inside the room, was a wave of “shhhhs” from the audience and people telling him to shut up. This is the man as close to Trump as anyone in the regime, and his read on the room in that moment was to try to start a rally chant. It was perhaps the most accidentally revealing and cringeworthy moment of the entire night."

Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson claims that Trump attempted to launch nuclear weapons at Iran but was stopped by General Dan Caine. The Washington Post also just posted an article about how Trump was allegedly kicked out of the situation room during an Iran operation. According to CNN, the ceasefire ends Wednesday and fighting is likely to resume.

It’s amazing how many people don’t realize how absolutely insane and unprecedented all this is. If we get through this without something literally earth-shattering happening, it will be a miracle.

"The BBC just dropped a damning investigation that should be plastered across every front page in America, and yet here we are. The BBC examined trade volume data across major financial markets and matched it to trump's most significant market-moving statements, finding a consistent pattern of trading spikes occurring just minutes before a social media post or media interview went public. On April 9, 2025, someone piled over $2 million into S&P 500 long positions right before trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs. The S&P jumped 9.5%, and that bet returned nearly $20 million. Some analysts told the BBC the pattern bears all the hallmarks of illegal insider trading, where bets are made on information the general public simply does not have."

"And the family connections make it all even harder to ignore. Donald Trump Jr. sits on the advisory board of Polymarket and acts as a strategic advisor to Kalshi, the two biggest prediction market platforms where this suspiciously well-timed speculation keeps showing up. Meanwhile, the broader trump family has been cashing in through World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture where Barron, Don Jr., and Eric Trump are all listed as cofounders. Reuters reported the family pulled in over $800 million from crypto asset sales in just the first half of 2025. This is a sitting president whose entire family is financially embedded in the markets he moves with his mouth every single day."

"And here's what should make every American genuinely angry: we found out about most of this from the BBC. Not the New York Times. Not CNN. Not any of the massive, well-funded American newsrooms that are supposedly the guardians of democracy. It is a profound embarrassment that in 2026, citizens of the United States have to depend on a British public broadcaster to investigate what their own government is doing with their markets. American corporate media, addicted to access and terrified of losing advertiser dollars, has largely looked away while the pillaging happens in plain sight. The SEC declined to comment, the White House went silent, and a financial expert told the BBC there is a low likelihood anyone will ever be prosecuted. That last part might be the most honest thing anyone has said about how power actually works in this country."

Not so friendly reminder that RFK Jr.'s "brain worms" are a personal fabrication. His abused wife tried divorcing him, and when the proposed settlement was going to leave her homeless and penniless she filed for alimony. RFK'S defense, on his behalf, was he didn't owe her alimony because he was out of work for a period of years due to extreme mercury poisoning from eating fish, he couldn't prove that because the proposed levels of mercury he was claiming has only been seen by northwestern Pacific fisherman off the coast of Asia in those that were over 60 years old having eaten a primary diet of fish since they were toddlers, something that is blatantly false for RFK Jr. So to bolster his false claim of poor medical health that, again falsely, "prevented him from generating income" for a decade, he paid his doctor to write a bogus report on these brain worms, a payment proven in divorce court with documentation. The thing is, there are no parasitic worms that feed on brain matter, even accidentally, and the few parasitic worms that can bypass the blood-brain barrier die relatively quickly because they starve to death. Could RFK Jr's doctor have potentially spotted a dead worm in his brain? Maybe. He has been shown to swim in creeks labeled as biohazard due to overcontamination of raw sewage, bringing his grandkids along to get sick with him. But evidence that it was chowing on his brain is physically impossible.

Mysteriously, after his ex-wife killed herself before their divorce was finalized, he no longer needed that defense and has done everything he can to bury it, because it was absolute bullshit to begin with.

The man should be in federal prison for the rest of his natural life.

TRUMP CALLS HIS FORMER ALLIES “STUPID PEOPLE WITH LOW IQs” – BUT HE WAS SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE WHEN THEY WERE USEFUL

President Trump lit up Truth Social today with a lengthy attack on four people who spent years boosting him – Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones – calling them “NUT JOBS,” “TROUBLEMAKERS,” and “LOSERS” after they criticized his decision to go to war with Iran.

The reason for their criticism? Carlson delivered a lengthy monologue framing Trump’s Iran rhetoric as “evil,” Alex Jones called the president a “dementia risk” who must be removed from office, Candace Owens called him a “genocidal lunatic,” and Megyn Kelly blasted the ceasefire deal as “very much like surrender.”

Here is where it gets interesting.

When Tucker Carlson was airing Capitol footage Trump liked in 2023, Trump wrote “GREAT JOB BY TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT” on Truth Social. When Fox fired Carlson, Trump called him “a very good person and very good man” who was “very talented.”

At a 2020 rally, Trump told the crowd directly: “Tucker’s been very good lately, I have to tell you, Tucker. Tucker has been very good. He’s come a long way.”

Now he says Tucker never had what it takes and never did.

The roster of conservatives now rebuking Trump over Iran reads almost exactly like a list of his most reliable supporters from years past. These are the same people who amplified him, defended him, and helped elect him – twice.

Trump has always survived opposition by discrediting critics – labeling them “RINOs,” “Panicans,” or losers. Today’s method is no different. Yesterday’s loyalists become today’s enemies the moment they dare to disagree.

The pattern is worth noting. When you are useful to him, you are a genius. When you are not, you always were a low-IQ loser who “never had what it takes.”
