For the life of me, I will always get Alan Cummings, Michael Sheen, Martin Freeman, and Steve Coogan confused. They all somehow seem like the same actor, but I always enjoy his performances.

In Frank Miller's Elektra Assassin, illustrated by Bill Sienkiewicz, the Antichrist is elected president and he apparently smells so rotten that people get nauseous and pass out in his presence. I think of that book a lot these days.

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.

Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

I'm not broken up about Mamdani's unremarkable win in solid blue NYC. I am saddened that once again, several leftists couldn't help but out themselves as antisemites on my FB post when I noted that normie Dems had a far better night than the DSA. They can't help themselves.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

A felon with a conviction on 34 counts and pending trials for several more, tore down our White House (not his, we own it) on a whim and without regard to law or Constitutional norms of oversight, and mocks the Rule of Law daily. How's that sit with you law and order types?

We saw 20000 MAGA insurrectionists wreck the Capitol. We saw it live as it happened. And we saw 7 million American patriots take to the streets peacefully to protest a demented tyrant. I know which side im betting on. #NoTyrants #NoKings I have friends everywhere.

According to Trump:

The #NoKings protests were America-hating Antifa

Antifa is a violent organized domestic terrorist org

7 million Antifa protested peacefully, without riots, including 200K in D.C.

But,

20K MAGA in DC on Jan 6 breached the Capitol

Who are the real menace?

7 million No Kings protesters and the only arrests today that I read about were Trumpers in Myrtle Beach, SC and Wilkes-Barre, PA who showed up flashing their guns at people. But please tell us again about how today was going to be nationwide riots caused by violent left wing Antifa terrorists. 😂😂😂
