The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

And then she got hit square in the eye by the horse dropping one right above her. I mean, why do you think she was tearful?

Let us hope this is true, because if it is, every time Charlie's acolytes look heavenward hoping for a glimpse of him, they'll get smacked in the eye by the same stuff Charlie distributed for years without even needing any equine help.

The Conspirituality podcast covered this. They said wellness influncers are deliberately spreading fake stories about pregnant women making TikToks in which they gobble down Tylenol, who are then ending up in the hospital about to die.

NOBODY IS ACTUALLY DOING THIS. IT IS NOT HAPPENING.

Trump is following almost to the letter Hitlers path to power. Sending the SS into Democratic neighborhoods to start violence and then blaming it on Democrats is classic Weimar Republic Germany. Now he wants to start jailing opposition leaders.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Books tear down man-made barriers that separate us based on cultural, religious, regional differences. This is what the “theys-that-be” seek to prevent. Books reveal our shared humanity, build bridges over divisions, develop empathy and understanding, snuff out hate and foster love.
