If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away.
He was not a domestic terrorist.
He was a good man and a hero.

There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"
Rep. Byron Donalds: "These agitators -- who by the way are paid, folks. America, they are paid to do this kind of mess."

For the fools that are still trying to claim kidnapping Maduro had something to do with fighting drug trafficking.

Not sure how they got dragged into the discussion-probably some Repuke politician-but there are more homicides in Alabama in total and definitely per capita than NYC and NYC has more people than Alabama. But yeah, NYC is a hellhole. Top 10 homicide rates are all in red states.
A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.
Homicides in NYC...
1990: 2,262
1993: 1,927
1998: 629
2001: 649
2013: 335
2019: 320
2021: 488
2024: 382
2025 (as of 12/28): 302

Because of course they did, and the FBI is so inept they told on themselves.
Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

The only reason Trump would have become a CI is if the FBI had some serious dirt on him. Remembering the recent story where Marla Maples-his wife then-warned the mother of a teenaged model to keep her daughter away from Trump and the other men attending an event at Mar-A-Lago.

Wondering if the public could stomach another bailout of the money folks like what happened after the 2008 crash where no one went to jail and the folks hurt the worst were left holding the bag.
The AI bubble keeps getting pumped bigger and bigger while the rest of the economy is gasping for air.

"We cannot sit in the false comfort of 'vote blue no matter who' when the 'blue' we’re voting for still doesn’t support universal healthcare, a living wage, ending forever wars and genocides, and meaningful climate justice."
Saturday afternoon I saw a figure stumbling along in the ditch. I stopped and offered a ride.
The 83-year-old man didn’t hesitate. He accepted immediately. Hunched over, carrying his folder, he lurched towards my car and nearly fell into the seat, exhausted.

Thing is, he never was trying to ‘be popular’ or ‘do politics’ beyond appealing to his base, that’s still happening. He never actually cared about them but he still desires their worship, the only reason he’s still doing the occasional pep rally like Pennsylvania the other day.
