If there comes a day when police put their bodies between the feds with guns and their targets, I will praise the police for doing so. I don’t expect to see that day. It might even be a dangerous escalation. But until that day comes … I assume they are helping the feds.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

This man should find no place to rest his head, no good meal to eat, no warmth in cold -- not a moment of comfort in the rest of his miserable, well, I would say life, but what kind of life is this? To be so cruel, so callous, so empty. So let's go with "rest of his miserable existence."
