“Miss, do you agree with the sign?”

“Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people.

Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Happy holidays to all.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

The DOJ made up false reports to cast doubt on everything in the Epstein files.
The DOJ is now online commenting on posts, claiming information they released in the Epstein files is fake and shouldn’t be trusted. The desperation is obvious.

The demented, vile, violence inciting criminal in the White House sounds like a mob boss sending his thugs to “off” a late night comedian. He is a despicable despot.
