George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

What a shock! So sad to hear of the death of Diane Keaton today, on her 79th birthday. One of the greats with an enviable body of work and the best smile ever. RIP.

The Gops aren't worried about getting reelected because they believe we will never have elections again. They are, of course, wrong.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

As far as I can tell, they're still funding terrorism, most recently, ICE.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
