In case you had any doubt about his real focus, just hours before taking office, Yambo has reportedly struck it rich to the tune of tens of billions of dollars — thanks to the $TRUMP meme coin. According to Axios, Trump’s position in the coin was — as of yesterday — worth a whopping $58 billion.

The country's dignity has been up for sale since Trump won, and the epitome of this was seen earlier today when Lee Greenwood was selling his disgusting Trumo Bibles on Fox News today. The grift is on. GREENWOOD: And as you said, when Donald Trump puts his hand on the Bible and swears the oath to take care of the country and he's the 47th president of the United States, I'm hoping it'll be this Bible which is released tomorrow as a tribute to Donald Trump, the 47th president. It's godblesstheusabible.com. There are only going to be 5,000 of these, and I know he's going to take the oath by putting his hand on several Bibles. He might do this one as well.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon insisted that billionaire Elon Musk — and other notable people — would be "washed away and forgotten" when compared to President-elect Donald Trump. In an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's This Week program, Bannon said he was "shocked" at the lack of hard questions for Trump defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth at his confirmation hearings. "I think I saw the end of both old but the Democratic Party as it exists and the husk of the Republican Party as [Mitch] McConnell and Paul Ryan hope," he opined. Bannon admitted Trump had the "difficult job" of unifying "the oligarchs" and the working class. "That's why he is at the level of Washington and Lincoln, and this will be known — and when history is written — Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Jonathan Karl will all be washed away and forgotten in the footnotes," he insisted.

On January 19, 1809, the great Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts. In school, I read many of his tales. Poe was a true literary genius.
