Kind of telling the NYT doesn’t mention this kook’s FB page is anti-Israel. Not because of Gaza but because Jesus.

This is on Welker. Either she doesn’t understand how Govt funding works or she’s content with broadcasting the lie.
Either way, she’s failing her profession

The vast majority of MAGA doesn’t want to see Lee Greenwood. Fact is, there are few popular artists or groups MAGA would be happy with

Yes, the civil-military crisis is here.
No, the US military won’t do anything about it.

Look, I understand this article was written in good faith. But if you’re counting on the US military to make clear illegal orders will not be obeyed, you’d be better off believing in Santa.
