Technically, they're right when they say Antifa is h hundred years old:
The Nazi party was founded in 1920. I have no difficulty believing there were people opposed to them in 1925, just like there are people opposed to Facists now, whatever they call themselves & whichever red hats they wear

So not only am I to believe that ANTIFA is a thing, but now we're being told the government has arrested the founder's girlfriend? Didn't they just say at the White House ANTIFA roundtable that it dated back to the Weimar Republic? 🤔

Get your story straight!!

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

It's located in Arlington National cemetery.
There are 400,000 members there.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.
