The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I think this is a good time to remind everyone:

Pam Bondi is PROTECTING wealthy adult men who have RAPED little girls

AND

she is currently the top law enforcement official in the United States.

Let that sink in.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

When ICE agents use excessive force and flout state laws, why are they not being arrested on the spot? Why are the state and cities not telling their troopers and police to watch what is happening and intervene when necessary to protect their citizens.

Mike Johnson, one of the great cowards in American history, has cancelled votes again.

A reminder that by law a budget was supposed to have been passed and in place on September 30. There is no Republican budget; no process to create one; and Johnson is preventing Congress from working on one.

MAJOR new restrictions on federal government use of riot control weapons -- and even requiring them to display identification in many circumstances. I expect a very rapid appeal and request for a stay from the 7th Circuit.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.
