Are we on the verge of a new round of nuclear proliferation? Japan, Korea, Germany, Poland, Ukraine...
In the interests of protecting themselves against more powerful aggressive neighbors, do they have any choice?
It seems it is that or bend the knee.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
