I would encourage everyone to contact The Nobel Peace Center and express your feelings about why Krasnov should never be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

If you are a member of the military or veteran & can’t understand that burning a flag in protest is 1A protected speech, then you also never understood the document you swore an oath to protect, & it only stands to reason why you support this regime.

I’m not a fan of flag burning, but I get it.

Methow is a weird one, because when I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s we pronounced it as METH-ow. I came back after years in the navy and everyone was pronouncing it MET-how.

I had a sneaking suspicion that saying ‘Meth’ made realtors and vacation property developers nervous about sales impact

He lost his security clearance, and the only thing he COULD be assigned was Command Urinalysis Officer.

The big question should be what in his background caused the DOD to yank his security clearance.

You can’t say Greg ‘Hot Wheels’ Abbott doesn’t know how to prioritize the needs of Texans.

This issue is so much more important than education, housing, and the power grid.

“The invitees for President Trump’s private dinner for customers of his cryptocurrency business on Thursday included a Chinese billionaire fighting a lawsuit from U.S. regulators, a lawyer for Justice Clarence Thomas and a former basketball star”

They also got a private tour of the White House

A government of the people, by the people, and for the people that isn’t.

The people that have the power to right the ship won’t, because they’re either compromised or just cowards.

The people that want the power to fix it cannot, because registered voters didn’t show up, for reasons.

Navy BC was a mind fuck to put you through a high stress environment to test you. We did get punished, but it was exercises.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

Being a Democrat is about to be akin to being an enemy of the state

They are demonizing the opposition party in an effort to have a single party system…like North Korea, Russia, and China.

If this continues we will never have freedom in the USA again without violence.

I don’t want any of this.

Cruz apparently took particular issue with Wikipedia's reliable sources/perennial sources list, which lists Fox News as a "generally unreliable" source for politics and science.

Republicans are setting the stage to justify any future real political persecution; by falsely claiming they were victims of past political persecution by Democrats.

Tweets like this are setting MAGA up for whataboutisms.

One would think photos and videos of clergy being assaulted by masked Feds would have all Christians in the USA united against a violent government.

But, the clergy that were victims are traditional men of the cloth, wearing black clothing and collars; not hair gel and skinny jeans preaching hate.
