This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News.  What if President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda was merely a smokescreen for him to obtain power, wealth, recognition, and fame?

What if Trump rode a wave of populist sentiment, painting himself as an upstart outsider to the political establishment, while covertly working to protect the political elites (and his friends) all along? What if conservatives’ wishful thinking…

Last summer, Don Brenneman and his son-in-law Derek Workman began getting trail cam photos of a huge buck on Brenneman’s 100-acre farm in far western Maryland’s Garrett County. Brenneman says they started calling the buck “Big Ten.” “We figured he’d measure 140 to 150 inches — a great buck for our area,” Brenneman tells Outdoor Life. “We were hoping to get him in that year’s archery season, but acorns started dropping in area woods and the buck disappeared for us.” Other…

More specifically, Reuters stated in the report on Sunday that DOGE had effectively disbanded eight months before its mandate expired. The report said that Office of Personnel Management Director Scott…
