This is real. This... {deep breaths} I cannot even find the right word... actually said this about this year's richly deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner.

He did everything he could to denigrate her win.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

A Democrat will feed 100 people to make sure no one goes hungry.
A Republican will let 100 people go hungry to say it’s the Democrats fault.

Odd, how Laura Loomer has to speculate about what Hell must be like, whereas anyone who has ever had to spend time with her does not.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

They are keeping congress out of office until October 20. No Kings is October 18. I believe they are gearing up to declare insurrection act and martial law, taking away our right to assemble. I hope I’m wrong. 😑

Argentina is already defaulting on a $20 billion dollar bailout loan from the International Monetary Fund, but this $20 billion dollar bailout loan from the US Treasury will work out great. For Milei.

The world’s smallest man:

“The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called me and said that she was accepting it in honor of me.

“I did not say then "give it to me." I think she might have, she was very nice.

“I have been helping her along the way, they need a lot of help.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
