Imagine what Republicans (AND NEWS MEDIA) would be like if a Biden militarized police force, operating outside of the law, shot a Christian leader, who was not posing ANY threat to them, in the head, while he was praying for them.

The double standard is OBSCENE! heartlandsignal.com/2025/10/10/c...

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

"On October 7, 1885, Friedrich Trump, a 16-year-old German barber, boarded a ship with a one-way ticket to America, escaping (e.g. dodging) three years of compulsory German military service."

Who does Johnson think he’s fooling?! Dude sent the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing the Epstein files, and he’s keeping them away for the same reason.

Congress is still getting paid, but Johnson won’t bring the House back to fund the military. This is on him, not the Democrats.

My grandfather once told me when I was a little boy that singing the Blues is all about a good man or woman feeling sad. This clip reminded me of me & grandpa's convo.

Look at these three legends.

Should I do a thread on the origin of the blues? 🤔

Serious question, fam.
