After giving up the entirety of their post-merger gains, Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) shares are currently in the limelight for their elevated short interest. Yet, in a somewhat unusual move, the company is now advising concerned investors on how to prevent their shares from being loaned out for short positions. Trump Media and Technology Group shares have now experienced two distinct mass liquidation waves in their post-merger phase. The first such wave materialized when the company disclosed that its Truth Social platform raked in a paltry $4.131 million in revenue in the entire of 2023, incurring a...

The stock DJT, -18.35% gained 1.5% in premarket trading, after sinking 18.4% on Monday after disclosing a share offering, to close at a three-month.

On Tuesday, the Trump Media said it has completed the research and development phase for the launching of its content-delivery network (CDN). “With our streaming content, we aim to provide a permanent home...

The editor of The Plain Dealer in Cleveland told readers that critical coverage of Donald Trump was necessary despite their objections. “The north star here is truth,” Chris Quinn wrote in a letter from the editor on Saturday. “We tell the truth, even when it offends some of the people who pay us for information.” “The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency,” he continued. “He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power. No president in our history has done worse. This is...

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover, not pagan myths

From civilian casualties, the use of disproportionate force, and international biases, the mainstream narrative of the Gaza conflict often obfuscates the truth behind lies. "Occupied Gaza.” Prior to October 7, there were roughly two million Arab citizens of Israel but no Jewish citizens in Gaza. Gazans in 2006 voted in Hamas to rule them. It summarily executed its Palestinian Authority rivals. Hamas cancelled all future scheduled elections. It established a dictatorship and diverted hundreds of billions of dollars in international aid to build a vast underground labyrinth of military installations. So Gaza has been occupied by Hamas, not Israel, for...

Four Years LaterHas the dust settled? Far from it. It is everywhere. We are choking on it. The storm cloud comes in many forms: inflation, learning losses, ill-health, high crime, non-functioning government services, broken supply chains, shoddy work, displaced workers, substance abuse, mass loneliness, discredited authority, a growing real estate crisis, censored technology, and overweening state power. For that matter, consider that Easter, the day to celebrate the Son of God’s triumph of life over death, itself was canceled for public worship just four years ago. That actually happened. Not even at the height of World War II was there...

Facts, by Tom MacDonald, is currently No. 1 on two Billboard charts; Rap Digital Song Sales and R&B/Hip Hop Digital Song Sales. Released on Jan. 26, Facts has blown past the genre’s usual stalwarts, pulling ahead of artists such as Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat... MacDonald has scored hit songs before, but he got to No. 1 with Facts thanks in large part to his collaborator on the song, popular conservative podcast host Ben Shapiro... Shapiro, a classically trained violinist, has often been a vocal critic of rap and hiphop music — routinely reserving segments of his podcast to...

Jesus' teachings are all about the way we should respond in our hearts towards others and how we are to follow Him, not how governments should respond. It has been the aim of liberal politicians for over 100 years to subvert the Christian doctrine with the claim that Jesus was a socialist. Their goal is to convince Christians that their Social agenda is morally equivalent with the teachings and life of Jesus Christ. Considering the lack of historical and Biblical knowledge most Americans have, it is not surprising that this political scam has been so successful. Twisting the teachings...

Grace Powell was 12 or 13 when she discovered she could be a boy. Growing up in a relatively conservative community in Grand Rapids, Mich., Powell, like many teenagers, didn’t feel comfortable in her own skin. She was unpopular and frequently bullied. Puberty made everything worse. She suffered from depression and was in and out of therapy. “I felt so detached from my body, and the way it was developing felt hostile to me,” Powell told me. It was classic gender dysphoria, a feeling of discomfort with your sex. Reading about transgender people online, Powell believed that the reason she...

I once had to choose between love and truth. I would have chosen love over anything else, but truth was the one thing over which love, unfortunately, did not win. I was in a lose/lose situation; if I stuck to my truth, I stood to lose the love, and if I stuck to the love, I stood to lose myself and by default, eventually, the love as well... ...Truth is what is, what was, and what will be. Truth is a knowing. Truth is a calling. Truth is it. There is only one truth and its unmovable, immutable, inalterable, inflexible...

Today's number one religion in the world is, "Self". We are told that each person has the right to decide what truth is, and anyone who publicly says otherwise is ostracized. Thus, upon the alter of "Self", Truth has been sacrificed. Even the truth about one's gender, has been twisted to the point that companies will terminate the employment of anyone who publicly declares otherwise.Truth has been discarded, because Truth is Christ, and the world has hated Christ from the beginning. Jesus tells us in John 14:6"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to...

The truth of the Resurrection stands or falls on the truth of the witnesses. Are they reliable? Of the New Testament writers, there are six witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, if we include the apostles Peter and Paul. These people have left us writings in the form of historical documents which give us their testimony concerning the resurrection.The question is—are these historical documents reliable? Can we trust them? One way of determining whether the documents are reliable is to put the people who wrote them through the test a good magistrate or judge would put them through. The...

I’ve repeatedly said that I don’t like to jump on things and prefer to wait for the other shoe to drop. And drop it did. Joseph Goebbels one said “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie,...

“It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” Samuel Adams, a son of liberty in every sense of the word, would be proud—the Self-Imagined Elites currently circling the wagons in Switzerland for the World Economic Forum’s annual summit meeting are panicked, thanks to the “irate, tireless minority” lighting brushfire after brushfire of truth (or what the WEF acolytes call “misinformation” and “disinformation”). Men like Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, António Guterres, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and every other unelected globalist bureaucrat moving hell and earth...

President Donald Trump declared the Republican Party was done with the likes of Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah and former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Saturday, pointing out that the MAGA movement had rescued conservatism from “RINOs.” Trump explained at an electric rally in Newton, Iowa, “Together, we fought long and hard to rescue the Republican Party from the likes of Mitt Romney.” He continued, “No chance we’re going to let them claw their way back into the power of our party!” President Trump added, “Get RID of these establishment career politicians who have sold you down the...

The title of this 2:29 video looks like clickbait. But trust me, it’s not. I’m not the biggest fan of Chappelle, but this is good stuff. And very topical.

While lying has been with us from time immemorial. In today’s age it is different, in most respects worse. “Age of Deception” -- simple words, yet together they convey danger. Deception is defined as the act of hiding the truth to gain an advantage. Simply put -- lying. An age is a division of time, an era. These three words are often referred to in books dealing with treacherous epochs. Even the Bible references these words, describing an era of deception against God’s people. Crafty truths about doctrine which leads humanity towards end times. Plato stated “False words are not...

Frank Turek debates an atheist on whether or not the Gospels were written by the disciples. The atheist claims that they were not and believes he has ample evidence to prove his point but Frank Turek demonstrates that everything the atheist claims his misinformation. This debate comes to a head as the kid refuses to accept defeat, as Frank employs the very thing the kid was claiming to dismiss!

This year is the 100th anniversary of the Hollywood sign. It used to say “Hollywoodland.” But today the city is on hard times. A recent headline at deadline.com is, “Hollywood Jobs Down Nearly 20% This Year, & Not Just Because Of The Strikes, Study Says.” The article notes, “Despite the now-resolved writers and actors strikes shutting down Hollywood production for several months, the loss of tens of thousands of Tinseltown jobs this year actually is part of a larger economic contraction, a just-released study claims — and those gigs might not be coming back.” I see these constant stories on...

Nearly a quarter of Democrat voters say they would vote for a candidate based solely on their abortion position, an NBC News poll released Friday found. Twenty-four percent of Democrats said they would base their vote on abortion when asked if “any one issue [is] so important that you would vote for or against a candidate solely on that basis.” The survey was conducted November 10-14 with 1,000 registered voters and has an overall margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points. “The poll also finds that the highest share of single-issue women voters (22 percent) say abortion is their top...
