I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Why am I not surprised that this guy doesn't know what a placenta is? He's not a Doctor, or any kind of medical professional, but he has children. He must have had a high school biology class? Another member of this regime that wouldn't qualify to be a Walmart Greeter.

Trump signed an EO to combat "anti-Christian bias."

This week ICE shot a Christian Pastor, David Black & not one MAGA politician, pundit, or person has bothered to condemn it. Instead they celebrate it.

It was never about anti-Christian bias—it was always about fascism masquerading as Christianity
