Our short-fingered vulgarian’s claim that he’s shutting down the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts for two years for renovations is, predictably, a self-serving lie. And it could get much, much worse.

Diana Crespo is a 7 year old who was detained by ICE when her parents tried to get her emergency medical care.
She’s being held at the Dilley Detention facility.
A little girl already in need of medical care is trapped in a camp with a measles outbreak.
It’s eugenics.

ICE rammed her car, shot her five times giving her 7 bullet wounds & absconded her out of the hospital after three hours wrapped in bandages.

The murder of VA ICU Nurse Alex Pretti has been officially ruled as a homicide.
Good because that’s exactly what it is. Now let’s do the same for Renee Good’s murder.

The short answer is no, but he will try. Here's his strategy.

Measles has one of the highest basic reproduction numbers (R₀) of any disease (12 to 18), meaning one infected person can spread it to 12 to 18 others in a fully susceptible population, making it extremely contagious. Need 95% vaccination status to achieve herd immunity. Get vaccinated!!

Thank you, judge.
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."
