Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Had fun reimagining this classic #HarveyKurtzman cover of #FrontlineCombat. It really made me appreciate what a masterpiece the original is.

She acted as gatekeeper, allowing no visitors, instead bringing documents for him to sign and relaying the president’s wishes and instructions. As a result, wags insist that #EdithWilson was the first #WomanPresident

#OnThisDay in 1919, president #WoodrowWilson suffered a severe stroke that would leave him incapacitated for over a year. During that time, his wife Edith conspired with Wilson’s doctor to keep the situation under wraps.
