The WH press corps sucks but for fuck’s sake, they’ve made the same mathematically impossible claim dozens of times and even fucking once do they even get asked about it????

Best to not actually pick up any alleged tear gas or smoke grenade or projectile. Too hot. And there’s been a lot of use of flashbangs. The misfire rate on them is not zero. Only a matter of time before some damn fool bleeds out because they lost a hand

I just got off a call with a group of young people who were seeking some guidance for a project they have launched in their community. Folks, I can tell you that we are blessed in this generation. They are smart and importantly so damn compassionate. ALSO, they know more than we did at their age.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Okay kind of a dumb question over minutiae but how is a golf resort worth $5.5 BILLION? Does that sound right? Or is a lot just going straight to his pocket?

This is a good angle to pursue IMO. We know it’s bad but seeing the unfiltered reality here *might* trigger a seismic shift across the board

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

I have done so little
For you.
And you have do little
For me.
That we have good reason
Never to agree.

OTOH if they refused to reopen until all NG and ICE go home, that would be totally justified and righteous, but it would also make it way easier to believe this is all the Democrats’ fault, they’re holding the country hostage, blah blah. They might even arrest the damn Congress members for it
