Lame story does not even mention that crime is at 30 YEAR LOWS, instead does a lazy both sides hack job.

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

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.

Idk if you heard about that little boy named Sakir Everett who stopped a school shooting by disassembling the gun & discarding the bullets that another kid brought to school, but instead of being praised or thanked, he was expelled. He has a GoFundMe:

Sakir Everett is a hero—who confiscated a weapon brought to school by a classmate before anyone got hurt.

How is he rewarded for saving lives? By being expelled from his school. Adults are failing our children.

When a classmate brought a loaded gun to school, 11-year-old Sakir Everett could have been a bystander or victim of a school shooting. Instead he jumped into action. Using knowledge he gained from hunting, Sakir disarmed the student, dismantled the weapon, and discarded the bullets. HE was expelled

Here's the GoFundMe to help support the family: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

I wonder if there's a local homeschool co-op that could help, too. Not sure about MI's homeschool laws, though.
