As the sun begins its return to northern climes, it will be soon time to begin the fight anew. Warrior Queen is still grievously weakened by the loss of her most-trusted warrior, but heartened by the number of people who are now enjoined in the fight for our way of life and now, our very lives

As Trump lies about America’s economic health, his doctors are lying about his own physical health.

We’ll see which one lasts longer .

So can we expect Trump (who cares SO much about law and order) to send National Guard troops to quell the violence?

Of course not, because it's a RED state, and he has no interest in punishing them.

Poilievre launches an attack on the PM on the eve of a high-stakes meeting with a regime that wants to break our nation.
MAGA Pierre claims he will be open to talking with MAGA America.
His only other job experience was working at Dairy Queen (apparently).
Put a sock in it Pierre.

Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats.

California: YOU have the power to stop him. Help us!
