Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."
It feels like this should be a fictional scene from The Hunger Games but it's just another day on Fox. They have no decency.

FLASHBACK: “I think we get like 40% of our budget from the federal government.”
Sen. Jack Johnson is bragging about how independent Tennessee is again, so here’s a reminder we are one of the most federally dependent states— and Lamberth blew a gasket when Hodges brought it up.

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

The Russian army is exhausted too. Russia is taking far higher casualties than Ukraine, and after 3.5 years has barely moved the front line. The idea that Russia is “winning” is simply not supported by the evidence. As I told DW News.

The U.S. military strikes on Caribbean “drug boats” under the Trump regime amount to extrajudicial killings with no public evidence — no due process, no verified proof these people were trafficking drugs, just bombs and bodies. At least 80+ dead so far.

So if China invades Taiwan it’s because he is weaker than Biden and Obama.
❗️Trump said that the situation around Ukraine no longer threatens a world war
"If I were president, this war would never have happened. And if I were not president, this war could have led to World War III. This will not happen."

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
