They are absolutely right. The current AG of the DOJ is protecting powerful pedophiles and putting their victims in jeopardy. Just despicable. Pam Bondi must be disbarred for being so dishonest and then charged for crimes when this regime is done.

BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence!

“I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and thought that could scare us by putting our names out.”

Using old records, scientists created a new dataset on ice cover since 1897. It's already being used to study a declining fish species.

The current Attorney General of the Pariah States of America is suffering from extreme trump derangement syndrome and is the most unfit and partisan hack AG in American history. And that was a high bar to clear after Bill Barr! Just pathetic with these freaking clowns.

When this criminal regime has run its course and we have responsible leadership once again, we need to go scorched earth against the corruption and criminality that these people have done in betraying the country. I trust one man to be the Attorney General of the United States.
John Luman Smith is an American attorney who has served in the United States Department of Justice as an assistant U.S. attorney, acting U.S. attorney, and head of the department's Public Integrity Section.

We now have confirmation that the Social Circle warehouse cost ICE $130 million, bringing the total spent on warehouses to $714 million. ICE is also reportedly planning on buying a second warehouse in Oakwood, GA and is finalizing the sale now.

Billions more will be spent on retrofitting/staffing.

This is entirely to place these gestapo agents so they will be in position to harass and interfere in the upcoming midterm elections, with massive gop losses predicted, this will be their move. www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

This deranged lunatic is now threatening to prevent the opening of the brand new Gordie Howe Bridge which connects Detroit to Windsor, Ontario. The bridge is jointly owned by Canada and the state of Michigan but Orange Mussolini wants half of it. 100% thuggery.

Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."
As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Historical gaslighting from the most dangerous man in the world. His alternative reality and getting millions of Americans to live in that fake reality with him is doing lasting damage to our country and it's stature in the world. Vote responsively.

The White House just sent a "Don't Panic" email. That'll do it
Don’t Be a Panican. We’re Winning — and We’re Not Slowing Down. Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, this Administration is smashing through the chaos and destruction left by Democrats and unleashing the most aggressive pursuit of the America First agenda in history. While the Fake News and Radical Left collude to distract, depress, and divide, they’re simply lying to mask the undeniable truth: America is safer, stronger, richer, and more secure than at any point in decades. Don’t take the bait. New victories pour in daily as President Trump delivers on his promises and rebuilds the foundation for long-term success in the greatest nation on Earth. Here are a few things to celebrate from just the past few days:
