Oh I was in DC for the great blizzard of '86. We had a hospitality suite the night the storm hit and kept it open until 3am. The bar tab was enormous, but so was the pile of hot leads.

The Trump regime is having trouble prosecuting James Comey on frivolous charges, and hasn’t been able to get charges against Letitia James.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.
