I didn’t get my first college degree until age 39. Prior to that, I played guitar on the road for a so-called living. Busking.BGladd.com.

I got my MA at age 52, at UNLV. THAT diploma authorizes me to park in handicap spaces. 🤣 Just an old coot now. BGladd.com/NYIrish.jpg

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

And yet this pale little dungeon spawn still wants you to believe Portland is the problem. Portland, a city so gentle it probably writes thank you notes to the rain.

Stephen Miller is a walking joke with the power (and intention) to ruin lives.

Btw, I know you're swamped, but it would be really helpful for those outside of Chicago to have a map of the places where the big conflicts happened, esp given DHS' obfuscation about what happened with the shooting the other day.

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

This kid's supposed real name is "Brilyn Hollyhand", which sounds like a stage name for a Mormon country singer who only plays acoustic Christmas songs all year round.
TP-USA is distancing themselves from this wanna be CK replacement.
