Antifa is an adjective.

Antifa isn't a thing; it's a thing you are. It's a mindset.

Columbus certainly deserves no statues or recognition. And I say this as someone who was born on Columbus Day.

😡 ALL of my patients, who come from countries where Christopher Columbus landed, tell me that he & his crew horribly abused & enslaved their ancestors, along with stealing their gold & silver‼️

😡 Columbus NEVER reached North America & he NEVER "discovered" uninhabited land‼️

Trump in Egypt: "This country is doing very well. It has good leadership. It's nice when you say, 'How is your crime situation?' and they don't even know what you're talking about. Because if he has crime he puts it out very quickly. Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great."

A few weeks ago, Mark Rakocy of Niles, Ohio, threatened to kill both me and former President Barack Obama. I immediately did what any responsible citizen should do — I reported the threat to the FBI and the Secret Service.

I absolutely love this kind of thing because the regime's case is that Portland is a burnt out war torn hellhole and instead right now it looks like a weird Japanese theme park. And that's good! It's so weird that it gets spread around everywhere and directly contradicts regime propaganda.

Can someone explain to me why the orange menace is allowing the Qatari government to build a base on American soil?

Not by us but by them. I think they will foment violence and kill people.

We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious.
