REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement

CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?

STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors

The people who thought Bad Bunny was divisive are, if anything, more incensed by “we are america,” in their terms it’s the most offensive and outrageous thing he could have said

Asking the right questions....

"Why did Putin not allow himself such brutal strikes on civilian infrastructure under Biden, whom Trump calls “weak,” but totally destroys peaceful cities and disregards the “strong Trump”?"

The Ukraine War Grows Deadlier
More civilians are dying now than when Biden was president

We are outraged that US has backed out of deal to give Russia land we can't conquer and isn't America's to give away.

A blow against anti imperialism.
⚡️ Russia accuses US of backing out of alleged Ukraine territory surrender agreement.

"Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax in 2025. Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. See the problem here?"

Are you speaking for yourself? One might ask. 🧐
So many people willing to blame religion for the US’s ills (and it plays a role there’s no question) but a lot of those same people won’t investigate the role of individualism to the detriment of the collective - which is a related, but more pervasive issue
