I’ve had people tell me they are afraid to post certain things because of Trump’s threats: Wrong answer. I haven’t changed sh*t…and won’t be. Fight back every demon that attempts to enter your mind. Crush it where it stands.

ICE racially profiles an elderly man and takes him into custody. They realize their mistake and release him. They also intimidate witnesses. This incident occurred in Long Beach, California.

To all the idiots on all the "expert" panels saying Gaza is too devastated to rebuild just for Palestinians to live in....Dresden and other German cities were rebuilt. Nagasaki and Hiroshima were rebuilt. AND none of them were turned into Dubai styled high end resorts for the world's elites.

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not.

He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone.

Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
