Profligate u.s. Federal Government

(On 10 April 2002, the u.s. foreign minister, colin powell, met face-to-face with yassar shithead arafat. I retaliated in my personal writing by lower-casing the u.s. government. Those who negotiate with anti-Semitic terrorists are Evil.)

fearless leader of the u.s.a.

white house homepage
When I looked on 6 and 20 Feb 2025, Donald Trump had eliminated the traditional transcripts of presidential press conferences and also eliminated the traditional transcripts of daily white house press briefings. Apparently, the less American citizens know about the white house, the happier the citizens will be.

all items copied from other sections
briefings & statements
presidential actions
Executive Orders
fact sheets (official propaganda)
remarks by the president, includes interviews
issues
administration people in the white house

Because Donald Trump frequently uses social media, instead of the official White House website, for announcements and public communications, one needs access to his posts on Truth Social, Twitter, etc. Roll Call has provided an archive and search engine for Trump's social media posts.

Former White House websites are maintained by the National Archives:

To search for documents at these archived presidential websites, use Google for the query
TOPIC TOPIC2 site:NAMEwhitehouse.archives.gov
where TOPIC TOPIC2 is replaced with a string of key words and NAME is the last name of the former president.

Explanation

To avoid updating bookmark files in several different webbrowsers on each of several different computers that I routinely use, I have collected all of my links to sources of news (e.g., newspapers, radio, television) and put them in this HTML document at my personal website. For comprehensive lists of all newspapers, see these resources.

A newspaper near the location of some event often has details that are missing from accounts in national or international media. The links above to news sources outside the USA are useful for Americans to obtain an international perspective on the news. A view from afar can often cut through hyperbole, propaganda, and local prejudice.

During President Obama's recession, many major newspapers reduced the amount of information on their website, so, in mid-2009, I began adding URLs of major television stations in the USA.
