Yes, the leftie Democrats keep giving the President lickins every day (24/7) – but the President keeps on tickin’. The Democrats have nothing to toot about except to show what a good job the President is continuing to perform every day even with all of their lickins.
In North America the term “Energizer Bunny” has entered the vernacular as a term for anything that continues endlessly, or someone that has immense stamina.[citation needed] In Europe and Australia the term “Duracell Bunny” has a similar connotation.[citation needed] Several U.S. presidential candidates have compared themselves to the energy bunny.
Again, the President gets a lickin’ and just keeps on tickin. Thanks to all of those Democrats who give him the devil 24/7 and what we do know – “Our Forever Friend” is always walking besides him. .
The President of the United States made a public appearance this week, but people were drawn to an unlikely part of his bodt, This week Donald Trump has been seen a lot as tensions continue to escalate in Iran; however, when he was sitting in a chair at a public appearance, people’s eyes were drawn to something rather unusual. After the public were alerted to the matter on X, formerly known as Twitter, it got a lot of people talking.
A man, known as Acyn, drew attention to the matter online. He shared a close-up of a certain part of Trump’s body and he made some assertions.
He wrote: “The President’s hand not looking too great.” In the photograph, a cut appears to be displayed on his hand, which looks a little red.
As well as this, other footage shows the President appearing to clutch his hands quite tightly while he was sitting at his desk. It’s led to all manner of speculation.
One person said: “It looks like they added a mannequin hand onto him!” Another wrote: “Not even trying to hide it. What’s going on?”
A third replied: “OMG. What is wrong with his pointing finger? It looks like it’s about to fall off his hand.”
The images of Trump’s right hand appeared as he briefly spoke to reporters in Wisconsin earlier this month before a scheduled roundtable event with rural farmers. At the time, the hand seemed to be discolored and covered with concealer, which got a lot of people talking.
During numerous other occasions, the President’s right hand has appeared to have been covered in patchy concealer. As so many rumors have circulated, the White House previously addressed the situation, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tying the bruising to handshaking.
Pentagon Just Exposed What Gavin Newsom Was Doing With Chinese Military Money

Gavin Newsom flew to China and laughed with communist executives while California taxpayers footed the bill.
This week the Pentagon made an announcement that changes everything about that trip.
Now Newsom has a question he cannot answer.
Newsom Took $50K From a Chinese Military Company Executive While Handing Out No-Bid Contracts
BYD is the Chinese state-subsidized electric vehicle company that dethroned Tesla as the world’s largest EV seller – moving 2.26 million vehicles in 2025 while selling zero in the United States, where its cars are currently blocked from the market.
BYD’s executive vice president Li Ke – a Chinese national married to BYD’s billionaire founder and Chinese Communist Party member Wang Chuanfu – donated $20,000 to Newsom’s 2018 gubernatorial campaign.
She gave him another $30,000 when he ran for reelection in 2022.
That’s more money than Li Ke has ever donated to every other California candidate combined.
In the years between those checks, Newsom rewarded BYD with a $1 billion no-bid COVID contract to supply California with 200 million masks per month – a deal so secretive that Democrat state legislators sent Newsom a formal letter demanding he tell them what was in it.
He refused.
California then re-upped the deal with a $315.6 million follow-on mask order after BYD failed its initial federal certification vetting and missed early delivery deadlines.
In 2020, Newsom’s administration handed BYD a separate lucrative contract to supply California’s public transit system with electric buses.
In 2023, Newsom flew to Shenzhen, China – BYD’s headquarters – where he laughed and joked with company executives while test-driving BYD’s newest electric vehicle.
“Who needs a car when you can have a car and a boat?” Newsom quipped during the visit.
A left-wing foundation with ties to Chinese climate initiatives paid for the trip.
BYD Pentagon Blacklist Confirms What Newsom Ignored for Years
The Pentagon’s blacklist is not symbolic.
Under the designation established by congressional mandate in 2021, a company earns the label “Chinese military company” by contributing to Beijing’s strategy of using private-sector technology to strengthen the People’s Liberation Army.
BYD made the list this week alongside Alibaba and Baidu – the expansion brings the total number of blacklisted Chinese firms to more than 130, the largest the list has ever been.
The Pentagon found that BYD is affiliated with China’s state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology – both direct conduits into Beijing’s defense apparatus.
This was not a surprise to anyone paying attention.
Researchers flagged BYD’s military entanglements back in 2019 – documenting its cooperation with the People’s Liberation Army and identifying components in its products manufactured by Chinese state-owned entities.
Congress responded the following year with a law barring federal funds from purchasing buses built by Chinese-state-linked manufacturers.
Newsom routed around it with state taxpayer money instead.
Rep. John Moolenaar, chairman of the House Select Committee on China, said that any Pentagon-designated company publicly traded on U.S. exchanges “should be immediately delisted and their products should be removed from supply chains our country depends on.”
Newsom’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Cella, founder of the Secure Our States Coalition, said: “China’s always looking for a weak link and I think that they found a weak link in Governor Newsom.”
“The Department of War has blacklisted BYD for a reason,” Cella told the Washington Free Beacon. “It means that there is a threat to the national security of the United States.”
Newsom did not need this week’s Pentagon designation to know what BYD was.
The warnings sat in front of him for years – the research on military ties, the congressional prohibition, the legislators demanding contract transparency – and he signed the checks anyway.
That’s the pattern the Washington Examiner documented in January: since Newsom launched his first gubernatorial bid in 2018, individuals tied to Chinese Communist Party influence operations and employed by Beijing-linked companies poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into California Democrat campaign accounts.
BYD alone routed over $80,000 to California Democrats through executives and direct contributions since 2018.
The Pentagon just confirmed what that money was buying.
Newsom is running for president in 2028.
BYD sells more vehicles than any EV company on earth and cannot get a single one into the American market.
A friendly president who owes you favors could change that overnight – and the donations started flowing eight years before Election Day.

Digital Dangers: A.I. Bots Replacing Family, Friends, and Therapists
A Trump-aligned conservative group is launching a six-figure advertising campaign targeting Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, signaling growing Republican concern about a race that had long been viewed as safe Republican territory.
Citizens for Sanity, a conservative nonprofit that spent heavily during the 2022 midterms, unveiled a 15-second AI-generated ad this week portraying Talarico singing altered lyrics from “The Sound of Music” song, “My Favorite Things.”
The ad focuses on Talarico’s past praise of the transgender issue and seeks to tie the Texas state representative to positions Republicans view as politically vulnerable in the reliably red state.
The campaign comes as Talarico, a Democratic state lawmaker and Christian pastor, has attracted national attention as a potential Democratic challenger to Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas’ 2026 Senate race.
Republicans have increasingly highlighted Talarico’s past statements on transgender issues, abortion, and religion, while Democrats have worked to present him as a broadly appealing candidate capable of competing statewide.
The latest attack follows controversy over Talarico’s recent comments opposing gender-transition surgeries for minors, a position that critics say conflicts with his earlier opposition to Texas Senate Bill 14, the 2023 law restricting such procedures for minors.
Talarico has also recently attempted to walk back past remarks, including comments about gender identity that he later described as intentionally provocative.
The ad buy underscores a broader shift in the political landscape.
Texas Republicans have historically enjoyed comfortable margins in statewide races, but a series of increasingly competitive elections over the past decade has narrowed the gap.
Democrats have invested heavily in recruiting candidates with broader appeal, and Talarico’s fundraising ability, media profile, and crossover appeal have made him one of the party’s most closely watched figures.
For Republicans, the early focus on cultural issues reflects lessons from recent campaigns in which attacks centered on transgender policies proved effective with swing voters.
The party appears intent on defining Talarico before he can consolidate support among moderates and independents, while Democrats hope his profile as a faith-oriented progressive can expand the party’s reach in a state that remains Republican-leaning but increasingly competitive.
LikeDislikeThe human brain begins developing before birth and continues maturing into the mid-20s, with different regions maturing at different rates.Prenatal Brain DevelopmentBrain development starts in the third week of gestation with the differentiation of neural progenitor cells, followed by neurogenesis, cell migration, and synaptogenesisWikipedia+1. By the sixth week of gestation, primary structures such as the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain are formed, and secondary structures like the telencephalon and diencephalon develop shortly after Wikipedia. During the last trimester, the fetal brain undergoes rapid growth, cortical folding, and the formation of long-range white matter pathways Psychology Today.Early ChildhoodAt birth, the brain is already highly organized but continues to grow rapidly. Brain volume doubles in the first year, with extensive myelination to speed neural signaling and synaptic proliferation creating millions of new connections luriechildrens.org+1. The brain develops from the back (occipital lobe) to the front (frontal lobe), allowing early visual and motor skills to emerge first, followed by language and higher cognitive functions luriechildrens.org. By age 5, about 90% of brain size is achieved, though functional refinement continues luriechildrens.org.AdolescenceDuring adolescence, the brain undergoes synaptic pruning, where unused connections are eliminated, and myelination continues, particularly in the prefrontal cortex scienceinsights.org+1. Gray matter density peaks and then gradually decreases, while white matter pathways strengthen, improving communication between brain regions. This period is critical for executive functions, including decision-making, impulse control, and working memory scienceinsights.org.Early AdulthoodThe prefrontal cortex, responsible for complex cognitive tasks, is the last major region to mature. Structural maturation, including the final stages of myelination and gray matter refinement, generally concludes around age 25, marking the brain’s structural completion scienceinsights.org+1. Some research suggests subtle changes in connectivity and function may continue into the early 30sWikipedia.Lifelong Brain ChangesEven after structural maturity, the brain retains plasticity, allowing it to adapt to experiences, learn new skills, and reorganize neural networks throughout life Psychology Today. Major phases of brain wiring continue into adulthood, with additional reorganization occurring at ages 32, 66, and 83, reflecting changes in cognitive priorities and aging University of Cambridge.Summary
Birth to 5 years: Rapid growth, synaptogenesis, myelination, occipital to frontal development
Childhood to adolescence: Synaptic pruning, white matter maturation, executive function development
Early adulthood (~25 years): Prefrontal cortex fully matures, structural brain development completes
Adulthood: Lifelong plasticity and neural reorganization continue This timeline highlights that while the brain reaches near full size in early childhood, functional and structural maturation, especially in higher cognitive regions, continues into the mid-20s, with ongoing adaptability throughout life

In my opinion, a teenager is not old enough to make such a life-altering decision. Any doctor who participates in this without the parents consent should have his licenses taken away.
