"Take it or leave it." That's not how you run the government. That's not how you lead a country.

The Democrats have been in the halls of Congress working and waiting for Republicans to show up for 13 days.

All this to prevent the Epstein file release? Or not swear in Grijalva?

The war on rainbow crosswalks has come to Texas.

After DeSantis cracked down and tore up rainbow crosswalks across Florida, the community has resisted in protest.

Now, Abbott is doing the same in Texas, seemingly at the direction of Libs of Tiktok.

It was Bidens deal that you begged them to hold off on so you could campaign on it and ultimately claim credit for- no, not Heaven worthy!

Will Gaza deal get him into heaven? Trump fears not.

The 79-year-old president, who has repeatedly pondered the afterlife in recent months, told reporters on Air Force One: “I think I’m not, maybe, heaven-bound.”

Christopher Columbus wasn’t the first explorer to land in the Americas. He landed in the Bahamas by mistake. He “discovered” nothing. He never set foot in North America. He cruelly enslaved, oppressed, and killed the indigenous people.

Let’s choose better heroes.
