A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

If Qatar want us to train their pilots, that's fine. That can be done in Qatar. I don't want Qatari Air Force pilots to be in control of military aircraft in US airspace in any circumstance. They're sympathetic to groups like Al-Qaeda and not trustworthy.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

What’s happening in America certainly has a lot of parallels to what happened in Germany in the 1930s.

I am not saying that Trump is Hitler, but fascism usually follows the same path at least to some extent.

The warning signs are here.

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.

Big fan of your work, but this appears to be a training facility for training Qatar airforce personnel on the US jets they bought, and the plans predate the Trump administration

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.
