Miami police shot and killed a woman experiencing a mental health crisis this weekend after her 12-year-old daughter called for help.

No mental health crisis should turn deadly by those called to help. Our hearts are with the family as they await answers.

No. NO. This is bullshit. This is my money. We are Americans who stand for freedom and they are stealing our money and giving it to a foreign Nation who is bent on genocide. No. We need to stop them from doing this crap. We need to figure out a way to stop them.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

Let’s be clear, Ghislaine Maxwell is and will always be a predator! It should be no surprise that she declined to answer questions. It also shouldn’t surprise nobody that she is getting special treatment from - a predator‼️

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American.

States that joined after Puerto Rico:
• Oklahoma — 1907
• New Mexico — 1912
• Arizona — 1912
• Alaska — 1959
• Hawaii — 1959

Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

This is heartbreaking
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

People ask me "why kelp is important". There's not enough space for all the reasons here but big reasons are that kelp can grow faster than any other any species fixing CO2, providing shelter and food. Urchins eat kelp plus they're "messy" eaters so they feed other species nearby.

WHY has no one in the Epstein Files been charged? Epstein and his girlfriend, and literally no one else.

DOJ has spent more time and resources protecting the criminals than investigating them. Even as a blanket cover-up it doesn't make sense.

BREAKING: Congressman Moskowitz:

“I mean it’s disgusting. There are lots of names, lots of co-conspirators, and they’re trafficking girls all across the world,” he said, adding, “I mean it’s exactly as people thought it was. It’s that. And, and, and more unfortunately.”

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.

But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.

These are not serious people.

Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.
