No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Kid Rock, who clearly shops at the "Tacky Meth-heads Who Like Silly Costumes" outlet, really shouldn't open his stupid mouth to talk about how other people look.

If you’re not pissed off you are complicit in the destruction of this country.
