Yes, Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz violated all sorts of national security protocols by sharing military secrets with a journalist. But at least they were White when they did this.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

If there’s one thing we could do that would make a real difference, it’s convincing libs in “blue states” that they are idiots for calling rural people idiots.

I pulled a Democratic ballot last August in the primary. Because of that, I couldn't vote for State Rep or Sheriff or County Commissioner or Prosecutor or Assessor or Coroner or Recorder of Deeds or County Clerk or County Collector.
There were no Democrats running...

I just think if somebody were to slap JD Vance across the face just one time, he’d probably straighten up and act right.

Canada targeting red states will do nothing to convince the people living in/governing those states that they shouldn’t support Trump. It will only embolden them to go harder for the guy.

They have been planning the downfall of journalism for decades now, ever since they started buying up small and mid-sized papers and shuttering them. This is only the latest effort at delegitimizing and destabilizing journalism so they can’t be held accountable by the public.
