While President Trump was pondering his “Turkey Pardon” of Tina Peters on Thursday, Indiana Republicans handed him a significant defeat that could well mark a turning point in Trump’s rapidly-declining second term.

President Trump has been working really hard trying to convince Americans that the economy is rolling and prices are down and you should stop complaining about the cost of goods because you’re wrong. It’s not working, and Republicans are justifiably getting nervous. As The Washington Post reported on Tuesday: “We inherited the highest prices ever, […]
Once again, the representative of Colorado’s most culturally sleepy rural backwater Rep.

President Trump has been on a rampage in recent weeks about his inability to spring former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters from jail in Colorado, where she is currently serving a nine-year sentence for her actions related to breaking into her own election computers in a fruitless attempt to prove 2020 election fraud.
