The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.
DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

Renée Nicole Good was murdered.
The man who murdered her should not be celebrated, defended, or allowed to profit — period.
A fundraiser trying to turn her death into blood money is circulating.
Clear instructions to report it are in the thread below.

Any Democrat not running on accountability is not the leader that we need or deserve.
When that day finally arrives : we must forget and let his co-conspirators, enablers, and bystanders go unscathed either. ESP his corrupt family.

I guess murdering women for being disrespectful is always where this guy was headed
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment
Not remotely legal. Minnesota needs to arrest these thugs breaking down doors right now, before they start grabbing even more power

If any part of the Constitution is going to be effective against thugs who have no regard for it and state and local authorities who are throwing up their hands if not actively supporting them, it’s going to be because people do stuff like this
ICE was just going up & down central getting out their cars with pepper spray and guns, but we had so many legal observers it made a huge difference.
If you’re vulnerable at all we are asking you stay inside today & remember don’t open your door without seeing a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

TWO. Two chances this Supreme Court had to make the right call. One was the simply call January 6 what it was: An insurrection. Even the liberal justices couldn’t do that. The other was to not make sham and politically-motivated investigations an “official act.”

It is shameful that we have to talk about the President of the United States this way. But it is who he is. He is behaving exactly the way you would expect a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who was granted immunity by John Roberts to behave. Know your enemy.
