The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

Fentanyl relieves pain and suffering of many near the end of their lives. Why should 47 prevail here? Oh, because Republicans in Congress will not stand up to him.
President Trump describes fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction that fuels lawlessness, saying the opioid is “closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic.” But some experts say it is a stretch to call an addictive drug a weapon of mass destruction.
Trump declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. What does it mean?
The declaration of fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction is the latest move by President Donald Trump casting the nation’s deadly drug crisis as a national security issue.

Susie Wiles tells Vanity Fair Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality.” Vance’s conversion from Never Trumper has been “sort of political” and the VP has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Russell Vought is “a right-wing absolute zealot.”

The indwelling Holy Spirit transforms hearts of believers that Jesus Christ is Messiah/Savior and Lord to trust and obey.
13 years ago today, a gunman murdered 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Years later, there is still much work left that must be done to protect our children and our communities from gun violence.

Isn't 47 just the mouthpiece for Stephen Miller and others of his ilk? Observant Jew my eye!!!
A new AP-NORC poll showed that only 31% of adults approve of how the incompetent conman from Queens is handling the economy, which is down 40% from March and "marks the lowest economic approval the psychotic shitstain has registered in an AP-NORC poll in his first or second term."

Barr sold us out with Mueller Report!! Never forget.
Literally one of the main reasons why FBI missed Jan6 is bc Bill Barr had the FBI chasing Antifa.
All the Proud Boys had been turned "informants" on Antifa.

You’ve got to assume that any real organised crime or terror groups in the US know the FBI isn’t tracking them as closely as they used to.
That could be very bad indeed – and if so, you can expect to see the clips of congressional testimony like today’s many, many times.
