Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?
No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

DOJ’s legal machinery to subvert the 2026 election is already in place

I am absolutely sickened by the many rich, powerful & famous men whose names are being outed in these files as having gone to Epstein's island.
Rep. Thomas Massie & I always said this would be a moral reckoning for our nation.
Looks like that reckoning begins today.

Amidst all the noise, one thing shouldn’t go unmentioned: Someone in the Justice Department published those largely unredacted Epstein files today intentionally.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.
An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Simply put. Yes.
It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Snapshot: Monsters in Our Midst
They are not just indifferent to a deadly shooting, they revel in it. But their terror is triggering a rising tide of anger and resistance.

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.

NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. But even if he didn’t he wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.
Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming

Protesters being killed by ICE and the border patrol is not an accidental result of the surge into a democratic city. It is the point. Like Jan 6, the president wanted this to happen.

You can call it an “execution” if you want to, but let’s be clear on this…
Murder is a crime and is prosecutable.
Execution is a legal punishment carried out by the state after due process. There is no due process yesterday.
