UPDATE: Remember how we told you @GovBillLee was lying about all the arrests in MEMPHIS being “violent crimes”

@fox13memphis checked. We were right. “VAST MAJORITY non-violent”. Bill was lying 👇🏽

(Now do those “45 missing kids” they rescued 🤔)

And these were not kids. They were adults, some working iwthin the Trump administration.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Permit me to ask the obvious question. If crime in Memphis is so bad, why didn’t Gov Lee do something before now?

Remember when kids teased each other saying “you have cooties”. This is the same sort of fiction that is Antifa

"The eyes of future generations are on [us], silently urging us to act bravely and quickly [...] to save them from a collapsed biosphere.

Will we rise to the moment and earn the right to be regarded as 'good ancestors'?"

Crucial question, crucial book.

Who is Matt Van Epps and what does he believe? Would he vote to release the Epstein documents? What about the soybean farmers and tarrifs?

WE NEED ELECTEDS WHO DO SOMETHING.

Culture wars don’t fix potholes, keep families safe, or put food on the table. And unmasked federal agents don’t make us safer. I’ll fight for what matters—safety, dignity, and a government that works for us. I've got your back!

Kirk was a free speech absolutist, right? Now MAGA wants to curtail speech to honor his memory? Speech about his character is protected speech
