SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Good! Less money for ICE!
JUDGE McELROY: It’s “yet another case where the administration is saying … I’m going to do what I want to do and not what the law says and make the court make me.”

Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank.
Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall.

We failed in letting people who hate us take over words we use in good faith and agreeing they are an insult. Being a warrior for social justice is good. Being liberal in our awareness of others and their needs is good. Being woke to the threats bearing down is good. Don't agree? I don't care.

Live by the sword. Die by the sword.
We should **NEVER** celebrate (what I'm assuming is) political violence. But Charlie Kirk's political life included rhetoric that accepted victims of gun-violence as the price of a 2nd Amendment.
Judge that or don't, but that position has become THE defining fact of his public life and death.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.
Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.
So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.
