Don’t be a murderer. There’s a whole commandment about that.

So you’re just as murderous and blood thirsty as Mike Parson. Seems odd for a Catholic. Mike, this is seriously warped. It’s wrong. Lance Shockley...

While this assessment is overall laughable, it’s notable that Trump received a flu shot and updated COVID-19 booster shots.

Network news could put this guy on the air during like Lester Holt or the Sunday shows but they don't because they know stories like this would help stop the administration and then the big bet they made on fascism would be for nothing

Across races/backgrounds/parties, we value freedom. But the mAga regime of bullies4billionaires is occupying our communities, forcing the military & police on our families, & weaponizing our gov’t against us in a power grab.

Demand this assault on our freedoms, our families, & our futures END.

With the rising sun in the background, a person stands on a mountain top with arms outstretched as if free and victorious. Captioned with the word FREEDOM.
