YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCorruption Central has new address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. From Trump’s Weaponization slush fund to international negotiations including Trump Towers and sketchy stock trades and Crypto deals, this next gift should come as no surprise:
Dell wins a $9.7B Pentagon deal — weeks after Trump publicly urged people to “go out and buy a Dell” and after Michael Dell’s family pledged $6.25B to seed the administration’s “Trump accounts.” We’ll check out the contract (a five‑year Core Enterprise Technology Agreement to supply Microsoft licensing, cloud subscriptions and on‑prem software). We’ll drill down into the Pentagon’s claim the award followed a competitive process and will save roughly $422M a year, and we’ll examine why timing — stock purchases, public praise, and Dell’s ties to the Trump administration are now prompting ethics and conflict‑of‑interest scrutiny.
We’ll roll this story past Michael Shure and Mo Kelly as we lay out the top Stories of the week in ‘This Week in Politics.’
Fingers crossed Albert finds a good gator story this week but whether it’s meth, machetes, or mayhem, Friday Fabulous Florida never disappoints.
Quick set change… and ou tcomes the rainbow. The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder will slide right in to give us the best advice on movies and streaming options worth your time.
