One of many fighting for our democracy. I do not respond to DM's, and block those supporting the overthrow of our republic. I do not support alignment with foreign dictators, or with leaders charged with crimes against humanity.

Just to sum up here. These idiots are shooting pepper balls at a FROG? The level of stupidity here is just stunning.

I need one of these frogs, I need one!

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Those of us who served in the military know that dogs were some of the best partners we could ever wish for, and many were real heroes. For Kristi Noem's CBP agents to be shooting a family dog in this way -- and then leaving the scene -- is disgusting.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!
